MAD airport Correos office open?

The El Camino con Correos site shows the MAD T1 post office closed. Google shows it open M-F 8:30-2:30 and the airport website mentions that they have a post office but then only gives locations for drop boxes.

I’ll likely be flying from MAD to Oviedo (for the Primitivo) and am trying to figure out if I need to pay in advance for a checked back and then ship my extra luggage from the Oviedo Correos office. Or if I can just ship the bag right in MAD, then just fly to Oviedo with my pilgrim backpack.

I know I could wing it, but the airlines always ding you if you don’t pay ahead of time for a checked bag.

Has anyone been in MAD (T1) lately and seen the Correos office? Is it open?

Thanks in advance!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
