Does mail get delivered on july 4th

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically observes federal holidays, including Independence Day (July 4th). On July 4th, mail delivery is usually suspended, and post offices are closed.

However, the USPS has a special arrangement for mail delivery on July 4th. While regular mail delivery is suspended, the USPS offers a special "Priority Mail Express" service on July 4th, which guarantees overnight delivery of mail and packages.

Here's what you can expect:

1. No regular mail delivery: Regular mail delivery, including First-Class Mail, Priority Mail, and Parcel Post, will not be delivered on July 4th.
2. Priority Mail Express: Priority Mail Express, which is a premium service that guarantees overnight delivery, will be available on July 4th. You can use this service to send packages and mail that need to be delivered quickly.
3. Post offices closed: Most post offices will be closed on July 4th, but some may have limited hours or be open for a few hours. It's best to check with your local post office to confirm their hours.
4. Online services available: You can still use online services, such as tracking packages and purchasing stamps, on July 4th.

Keep in mind that private carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, may have different holiday schedules and delivery policies. It's best to check with your carrier for specific information.
