Can mail delivery be stopped certain days

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically delivers mail and packages on weekdays, Monday through Saturday. However, there are some exceptions and options to consider:

  1. Holiday Schedule: USPS observes federal holidays, which means no mail delivery on those days. The holidays are:
    • New Year's Day (January 1st)
    • Martin Luther King Jr. Day (third Monday in January)
    • Presidents' Day (third Monday in February)
    • Memorial Day (last Monday in May)
    • Independence Day (July 4th)
    • Labor Day (first Monday in September)
    • Columbus Day (second Monday in October)
    • Veterans Day (November 11th)
    • Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in November)
    • Christmas Day (December 25th)
  2. Saturday Delivery: While USPS typically delivers on Saturdays, some areas may not receive Saturday delivery. You can check with your local post office to see if Saturday delivery is available in your area.
  3. Special Delivery: USPS offers special delivery services, such as Priority Mail Express and Priority Mail, which guarantee delivery on a specific date or within a certain timeframe. These services may be available for an additional fee.
  4. Hold for Pickup: If you're not going to be home to receive a package, you can have it held for pickup at your local post office. This service is usually available for a small fee.
  5. Delivery Suspension: In rare cases, USPS may suspend delivery due to inclement weather, natural disasters, or other unforeseen circumstances. If this happens, you'll typically receive a notification from USPS or your local post office.
  6. Private Carriers: If you're using a private carrier, such as UPS or FedEx, their delivery schedules and policies may differ from USPS. You should check with your carrier for their specific delivery policies and schedules.

To summarize, while USPS typically delivers on weekdays and Saturdays, there are exceptions for holidays, special delivery services, and hold for pickup options. Private carriers may have different delivery schedules and policies.
