Most UPS Store locations run roughly 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM Monday to Friday, with a shorter Saturday of around 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and many are closed on Sunday. Every UPS Store is independently owned and franchise-operated, so hours vary more than the branding suggests. Below you’ll find the common schedule, the drop-off cutoff that matters more than closing time, and every holiday.
Two things are easy to confuse here. The UPS Store is a retail franchise. UPS itself is the carrier, and its pickup and delivery schedule is separate from whether the shop is open.
The UPS Store hours today at a glance
The UPS Store Hours Today (+ Closing Hours)
The last pickup time matters more than the closing time. A package handed over after the day’s final pickup sits in the store overnight and travels the next business day, so a 6:00 PM drop-off at a store closing at 6:30 PM may not move until tomorrow.
UPS Store Drop-Off Cutoff Times
The question people actually mean when they look up UPS Store hours is usually about the cutoff rather than the door. Each location has a final daily pickup, typically somewhere between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, and that is the moment a package stops being today’s shipment and becomes tomorrow’s. The store stays open afterwards and will happily take your parcel. It simply will not move until the next pickup.
The cutoff is posted inside and on the store’s page on the UPS site, and it differs between locations in the same town depending on the driver’s route. If you are shipping anything time-sensitive, that posted pickup time is the number to plan around, and arriving thirty minutes before it is sensible rather than cautious.
Saturday is the other thing worth knowing. Many locations open on Saturday but have no Saturday pickup at all, so a Saturday drop-off travels on Monday. Ground service does not generally move on Sunday either way.
The UPS Store Closing Hours
Closing times are in the table above. Expect the final quarter of an hour to be wind-down rather than service, and plan to be inside well before then.

The UPS Store Holiday Hours 2026
The UPS Store closes on 7 of the fifteen dates below. Everything else runs either regular hours or an early close, and the table covers all of them.
The UPS Store New Year’s Day Hours
Most UPS Store locations are closed on New Year’s Day, and UPS itself does not run regular pickup or delivery. Anything dropped off on December 31st after the final pickup will not move until January 2nd or the next business day.
The UPS Store Martin Luther King Jr. Day Hours
Many UPS Store locations are open on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but UPS treats it as a limited service day, so a package may be accepted without moving that day. The store being open and your parcel traveling are two different questions on federal holidays.
The UPS Store Presidents Day Hours
A good number of UPS Store locations open on Presidents Day on regular or reduced hours. UPS runs limited service, so expect a drop-off to travel the following business day.
The UPS Store Easter Sunday Hours
UPS Store locations are generally closed on Easter Sunday, and most are closed on Sunday regardless. There is no UPS pickup or delivery on Easter Sunday.
The UPS Store Memorial Day Hours
Most UPS Store locations close on Memorial Day and UPS does not run regular pickup or delivery. Friday before the holiday weekend is the practical shipping deadline.
The UPS Store Independence Day Hours
Most UPS Store locations close on Independence Day, with no regular UPS pickup or delivery that day. Ship by the 3rd if the package needs to move before the weekend.
The UPS Store Labor Day Hours
Most UPS Store locations close on Labor Day, and UPS does not run regular service. Expect a backlog on the Tuesday, which is one of the heavier counter days of the year.
The UPS Store Columbus Day Hours
Many UPS Store locations open on Columbus Day. UPS operates a limited schedule, so a drop-off may wait for the next business day even where the shop is open.
The UPS Store Veterans Day Hours
Many UPS Store locations are open on Veterans Day with UPS running limited service. Worth confirming the pickup situation rather than just the opening hours.
The UPS Store Thanksgiving Day Hours
UPS Store locations are closed on Thanksgiving Day and UPS does not run pickup or delivery. The Wednesday before is extremely busy at the counter, particularly for returns, so go early in the day.
The UPS Store Black Friday Hours
Most UPS Store locations are open on Black Friday, frequently on reduced hours, and UPS resumes normal service. It is one of the busiest counter days of the year for returns rather than shipping.
The UPS Store Cyber Monday Hours
UPS Store locations are open on Cyber Monday with regular hours. Nothing changes operationally, but the following two weeks are the heaviest shipping period of the year, so expect lines at the counter from late morning.
The UPS Store Christmas Eve Hours
Most UPS Store locations are open on Christmas Eve and close early, often by mid afternoon. The final pickup is much earlier than usual and in practice the useful shipping deadline has already passed by then. Treat December 23rd as the last realistic day.
The UPS Store Christmas Day Hours
UPS Store locations are closed on Christmas Day and UPS runs no pickup or delivery. Service resumes on December 26th, which is one of the busiest return days of the year.
The UPS Store New Year’s Eve Hours
Most UPS Store locations are open on New Year’s Eve, and many close early. The final pickup is usually brought forward, so a late-afternoon drop-off will not move until the new year.
The UPS Store Saturday and Sunday Hours
The UPS Store Saturday hours
Saturday hours at The UPS Store are 9:00 AM to 5:00 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.
The UPS Store Sunday hours
The UPS Store is closed on Sunday at every location. There is no reduced Sunday service and no regional exception, so Saturday evening is the practical cut-off for anything you need before Monday. Expect Saturday to be correspondingly busier as a result.
How to Check The UPS Store Hours Before You Go
What you see above is the typical The UPS Store schedule. Individual locations set their own holiday hours and sometimes their own regular hours, so for anything time-sensitive, confirm it:
- The official The UPS Store locator, which is the only source the company itself updates. It is linked in the section above.
- Google’s listing for that specific location. Holiday hours tend to appear there a week or two ahead, so it is a useful second opinion.
- Calling directly, which is the only method that catches a same-day change such as a weather closure or a staffing shortage.
The day before a holiday closure is when it matters most, since that is also when The UPS Store is at its busiest and least likely to pick up the phone quickly.
When The UPS Store Is Busiest
The counter has two daily peaks: the hour before the final pickup, when everyone arrives at once to make the day’s shipment, and lunchtime between about noon and 1:30 PM. Mid morning, roughly 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM, is consistently the quietest and the best time to go if you need printing, notary or anything requiring staff attention.
Seasonally, the stretch from Cyber Monday to around December 20th is the heaviest of the year, and the week after Christmas is close behind it for returns. January is busy with returns too. If you have a choice, avoid the last hour of the day in December entirely.
Alternative Stores to The UPS Store
These are the stores people switch to when The UPS Store is closed or too far. FedEx Office Hours, Post Office Hours and Staples Hours are the closest matches, and their hours are set independently.
Hours at each of these are set independently of The UPS Store, so check the one you plan to visit rather than assuming a shared schedule.
The UPS Store Hours FAQ
What time does The UPS Store open?
Most locations open at 8:30 AM or 9:00 AM on weekdays. Each store is franchise-owned and sets its own hours, so check your location.
What time does The UPS Store close?
Commonly 6:30 PM on weekdays and 5:00 PM on Saturday. The final pickup time is earlier than closing and matters more for shipping.
Is The UPS Store open on Sunday?
Most locations are closed on Sunday. A minority in high-traffic retail areas open on reduced Sunday hours, and UPS does not run regular Sunday ground service either way.
What is the UPS Store drop-off cutoff?
Typically between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, set per location by the driver’s route. A package handed over after it travels the next business day.
Does a Saturday drop-off ship on Saturday?
Often not. Many locations have no Saturday pickup, so a Saturday drop-off moves on Monday. Check whether your store has a Saturday pickup before relying on it.
Is The UPS Store open today?
Most likely yes on a normal weekday. On federal holidays it varies by franchise, and on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day most close.
What are UPS Store hours tomorrow?
The same as today on a weekday. Saturday is shorter, Sunday is usually closed, and holiday hours are set by the individual franchise owner.
Is The UPS Store the same as UPS?
No. The UPS Store is a retail franchise network. UPS is the carrier. A store can be open on a day when UPS is not running pickups, which is why a parcel can sit overnight.
Is The UPS Store open on Thanksgiving?
No, locations are closed and UPS runs no pickup or delivery. The Wednesday before is very busy at the counter.
Is The UPS Store open on Christmas Eve?
Most are, on reduced hours, closing early. The final pickup is brought well forward, so December 23rd is the last realistic shipping day.
Can I drop off an Amazon return after the pickup cutoff?
Yes. Returns only need the store to be open, since the cutoff affects when the parcel travels rather than whether it is accepted. Your return is usually registered on drop-off.
Why do two nearby UPS Stores have different hours?
Because each is independently owned and operated. The franchise owner sets opening hours, and the pickup time depends on the driver’s route rather than the chain.
Are printing and notary services available all day?
Not always. Some locations limit notary or printing to shorter service hours, or to when a particular member of staff is on. Call ahead for notary specifically.
What are UPS Store hours on federal holidays?
Highly variable. Many stay open on the minor federal holidays such as Columbus Day and Veterans Day while UPS runs limited service, and most close on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
When is The UPS Store least busy?
Mid morning on a weekday, roughly 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM. Avoid the hour before the final pickup and the lunchtime window.
How late can I ship for next-day delivery?
Up to that location’s final pickup time, which is typically between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Arriving thirty minutes before it leaves room for the paperwork.
Every UPS Store is independently owned and franchise-operated, so opening, closing and holiday hours vary by location more than the shared branding suggests. Pickup cutoff times depend on the local driver’s route. Check the individual store’s page on the UPS Store locator for both its hours and its final pickup time before relying on either.
