Most Staples stores run 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Saturday and 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday. The print and ship center inside is what most people actually come for, and it runs on the store’s hours but with carrier cutoffs that land much earlier. Below you’ll find store hours, print and shipping times, and every holiday.
Staples doubles as a shipping drop-off point for UPS and FedEx at most locations, which means two different deadlines matter on the same visit: when the store closes, and when the carrier collects.
Staples hours today at a glance
Staples Opening Hours Today (+ Closing Hours)
If you are dropping off a parcel, the carrier’s final collection is the time that matters, not the store’s closing time. A package handed over after it sits overnight and travels the next business day.
Staples Print Shop and Shipping Cutoff Times
The print and copy counter generally follows store hours, but that tells you less than it sounds. Anything beyond self-service copying needs a staff member, and large or complex jobs placed in the last hour will not be finished that day. Same-day turnaround on a print order realistically needs to be placed by mid afternoon, and in the back-to-school weeks of August it needs to be earlier still.
Shipping is the other half. Most Staples locations act as a drop-off point for UPS and often FedEx, each with its own final collection time, typically somewhere between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM on weekdays. The store stays open hours after that. A parcel handed over at 8:00 PM is accepted but does not move until the next collection, and Saturday collections are limited or absent at many locations.
Self-service machines, the copiers and the shredding bins, are available throughout store hours without staff involvement, which makes late evening a reasonable time for those specifically even though it is useless for anything needing a person.
Staples Closing Hours
The table above gives the closing time for every day of the week. In practice the last fifteen minutes are spent closing down, so turning up just before the hour is not much use.

Staples Holiday Hours 2026
Staples closes on 2 of the fifteen dates below. Everything else runs either regular hours or an early close, and the table covers all of them.
Staples New Year’s Day Hours
Staples stores are generally open on New Year’s Day, often on reduced hours, with no carrier collection running.
Staples Martin Luther King Jr. Day Hours
Staples treats Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a normal day. Doors open at 8:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM, the same as any other day of the week.
Staples Presidents Day Hours
There is no change to Staples hours on Presidents Day. It is a federal holiday, but not one the chain observes, so the doors open at 8:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM as usual. Carrier collections do not run on federal holidays even when the store is open.
Staples Easter Sunday Hours
Staples practice on Easter Sunday varies, with a number of stores closing for the day. Where open, expect reduced Sunday hours and no carrier collection.
Staples Memorial Day Hours
Most Staples stores are open on Memorial Day, often on reduced hours. There is no UPS or FedEx collection, so a drop-off that day travels on Tuesday.
Staples Independence Day Hours
Most Staples stores are open on Independence Day with reduced hours and no carrier collection.
Staples Labor Day Hours
Most Staples stores are open on Labor Day, frequently on reduced hours. No carrier collection runs, and the Tuesday after is busy at the print counter as the back-to-school period closes out.
Staples Columbus Day Hours
There is no change to Staples hours on Columbus Day. It is a federal holiday, but not one the chain observes, so the doors open at 8:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM as usual. Carrier collections do not run on federal holidays even when the store is open.
Staples Veterans Day Hours
Veterans Day does not affect Staples hours. It is a federal holiday, but not one the chain observes, so the doors open at 8:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM as usual. Carrier collections do not run on federal holidays even when the store is open.
Staples Thanksgiving Day Hours
Staples is closed on Thanksgiving Day. Stores reopen on Black Friday, usually early, and it is a significant day for technology and furniture deals here.
Staples Black Friday Hours
Staples is open on Black Friday and most stores open early, commonly around 7:00 AM. Laptops, monitors and office chairs are the main draws and the first two hours are the busiest.
Staples Cyber Monday Hours
Staples is open on Cyber Monday with regular hours and normal carrier collections. It is the start of the heaviest shipping period of the year, and the drop-off counter gets progressively busier through December.
Staples Christmas Eve Hours
Staples is open on Christmas Eve and closes early, commonly around 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM. The carrier collection is brought well forward, so a parcel dropped that afternoon will not arrive before Christmas. Treat December 23rd as the last useful shipping day.
Staples Christmas Day Hours
Staples is closed on Christmas Day at every location. Stores reopen on December 26th, which is busy with returns and with shipping drop-offs.
Staples New Year’s Eve Hours
Staples is open on New Year’s Eve and many stores close early. The carrier cutoff is brought forward, so a late drop-off waits until the new year.
Staples Saturday and Sunday Hours
Staples Saturday hours
Saturday hours at Staples are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, which is different from the weekday schedule. Expect the busiest few hours of the week between about 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Anything that needs a member of staff is far easier first thing.
Staples Sunday hours
Sunday at Staples is 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, which is shorter than the rest of the week. If a shorter day is combined with weekend crowds, the practical window is narrower than the hours suggest, so treat the morning as the usable part.
How to Check Staples Hours Before You Go
The times above hold at most Staples locations, though yours can differ and holiday hours are frequently decided at store level. If the trip matters, confirm it one of these three ways:
- The official Staples locator, which is the only source the company itself updates. It is linked in the section above.
- The location’s Google Business listing, which usually shows special holiday hours a week or two in advance and makes a good cross-check.
- Calling the location itself. Nothing online will tell you about a closure decided that morning.
The day before a holiday closure is when it matters most, since that is also when Staples is at its busiest and least likely to pick up the phone quickly.
Staples Busiest Times
The print counter has two daily peaks: late morning as business customers place orders, and the hour before the carrier cutoff, when everyone arrives at once to catch the day’s collection. Mid afternoon between about 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM is the clearest window for anything needing staff attention, and early evening is quiet but useless for staffed services.
The annual pattern is dominated by two periods. Mid August to early September is back-to-school, by some distance the busiest stretch of the year, when the print counter can be booked out a day ahead. December is the second, driven by shipping rather than supplies. Late winter and spring are quiet throughout.
Alternative Stores to Staples
These are the stores people switch to when Staples is closed or too far. FedEx Office Hours, The UPS Store Hours and Post Office Hours are the closest matches, and their hours are set independently.
Every chain here sets its own opening, closing and holiday times. The linked pages carry the detail for each.
