I know banks are closed today and I'm now kicking myself because I just threw a Netflix movie in the mail box and your post made me realize it will sit there until Monday.

I believe it is a holiday. I went to two post offices on Thursday, and both had signs that they would be closed today. Also, the other US Government employees were off yesterday.

12. Most have stamp vending machines in the lobby. |
|
Those should be open for access to PO Boxes.
I know most grocery stores sell stamps around here, but 200 might be more than they stock. ;)

If you need stamps, your Post Office may have an Automated machine in the lobby. You must use a credit or debit card. Just touch the screen and follow prompts. Even though I am off today. I am glad to help. Mailman82 out!

Do they sell them in the machine like that?

Yes, I am not sure how many on a sheet. But you can buy multiple sheets.
