In addition, all of the shipping services available at the Post Office are also available 24 hours a day at usps.com. “You can buy stamps, use Click-N-Ship to print your own mailing labels, pay for postage and confirm delivery,” said Vannucci. “You can even request Package Pickup at your home or office without stepping away from your computer keyboard.”

“Expanding hours gives customers more options and better access to the shipping services they need,” Vannucci said.
