Does mail move on federal holidays

In the United States, mail delivery is affected by federal holidays. Here's what you need to know:

  1. No mail delivery: On federal holidays, the United States Postal Service (USPS) does not deliver mail or packages. This includes regular mail, priority mail, and packages.
  2. Post offices closed: Most post offices are closed on federal holidays, which means you cannot send or receive mail, or access postal services.
  3. Limited services: Some post offices may offer limited services, such as package pickup or drop-off, on federal holidays. However, these services are not guaranteed and may vary depending on the location.
  4. Mail processing: Mail processing facilities are also closed on federal holidays, which means that mail is not processed or sorted on these days.
  5. Special arrangements: If you need to send or receive mail on a federal holiday, you may be able to make special arrangements with your local post office or a private courier service.

Here are the federal holidays in the United States, when mail delivery is affected:

  1. New Year's Day - January 1st
