Need to have an envelop to be post mark today 10/14 but USPS is closed, other option?

and PS:

Tell whoever wanted it postmarked 10/14 that they are a moron.

anything tax or legal related.

I don't think tax documents are forced to be mailed (at least, I've never had to). There is an electronic filing option. I suppose legal documentation might require the actual copy and not a notarized fax, but even then, a firm must be mailed by date?

Reality is OP shouldn't wait until the very last possible day to do anything, because inevitably, something will go wrong.

Reality is, whoever said it had to be postmarked by today's date messed up.

There are plenty of other reasons besides legal and tax stuff. Rebates come to mind, insurance claims, pretty much anything with a deadline.

Very smart, young grass hopper. One of your suggestions above was right on about my envelope.

Yes.

ex) you have 30 business days to respond to XX request

Unless the OP is entering the publisher's clearing house sweepstakes, I can't imagine something requiring the actual mailing of documents anymore. Almost every bill can be paid electronically (except rent... for some stupid reason, but you don't generally mail that anyway). So, what time sensitive information is the OP sending? Chances are there was an electronic alternative available for most things. Also, why did the OP procrastinate for so long to send it? That is the real question.

Mail in rebate forms. I'm sure that there are many reasons to need actual sending of documents and having them postmarked. Not as many as years ago, as you mentioned.

Edit: I see rebates already mentioned.

I thought as of Oct 1, every day was a government holiday. >_>

Need to have one envelope (regular #10 size with 2 pages) to be post mark today but USPS is closed for Columbus day.

Are there other options? UPS, FedEx? Santa? Anyone? TIA.

Kind of an old post but I surfed in here from a major search engine so thought it might help next person.... The answer in 2020 is to get onto usps.com (maybe register an account - I already had one) and send it via Priority Mail Envelope. It cost me $7.50 but I was abe to get the postmark of that day even after the post office was closed. You technically have until 11:59 PM to catch it for that day but worked beautifully.

Seems like a useful non spammy necro. As far as postmarks go, I'd just say "Fuck if I know?! I gave it to them the day before. I guess something happened. Take it up with USPS".
