Does mail deliver on july 4th

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically observes federal holidays, including Independence Day (July 4th). This means that mail delivery may be affected on July 4th.

Here's what you can expect:

  1. No regular mail delivery: The USPS will not deliver regular mail on July 4th. This includes first-class mail, priority mail, and package delivery.
  2. Limited services: Some post offices may be open on July 4th, but with limited hours and services. You can check with your local post office to confirm their hours and availability.
  3. No mail pickup: Mail carriers will not be collecting mail on July 4th, so you won't be able to drop off mail at your mailbox or post office.
  4. Some exceptions: While regular mail delivery is suspended, some services may still be available, such as:
    • Priority Mail Express: This service is not affected by federal holidays, so you can still use it to send packages that require overnight delivery.
    • Post Office boxes: You can still access your post office box on July 4th, but you won't be able to deposit outgoing mail.
