Does mail go out on new years day
In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically observes federal holidays, including New Year's Day. This means that mail delivery is usually suspended on January 1st, which is a federal holiday.
However, the USPS has a special delivery schedule for New Year's Day, which varies depending on the location and type of mail. Here's what you can expect:
- First-Class Mail: Mail delivery is usually suspended on New Year's Day, but some areas may have limited delivery or special pickup services.
- Priority Mail: Priority Mail services, including Priority Mail Express, may be available on New Year's Day, but with limited hours and routes.
- Package Delivery: Package delivery services, such as UPS and FedEx, may operate on a reduced schedule or with limited hours on New Year's Day.
- Post Office Hours: Most post offices are closed on New Year's Day, but some may have limited hours or special hours for package pickup and drop-off.
To confirm the specific delivery schedule for your area, you can:
- Check the USPS website for holiday hours and delivery information.
- Contact your local post office or mail carrier for more information.
- Check with your package delivery service (UPS, FedEx, etc.) for their holiday schedule.
Remember to plan ahead and allow extra time for mail and package delivery if you're sending or receiving items on or around New Year's Day.
