Does mail run on mlk day

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) observes Martin Luther King Jr. Day (MLK Day) as a federal holiday. This means that mail delivery and postal services are affected on this day.

Here's what you can expect:

  1. No regular mail delivery: There will be no regular mail delivery on MLK Day, which is typically observed on the third Monday of January.
  2. Post offices closed: Most post offices will be closed on MLK Day, including retail offices, mail processing facilities, and other USPS locations.
  3. Limited services: Some post offices may offer limited services, such as package delivery or pickup, but this will vary depending on the location and the specific post office.
  4. No mail pickup: Mail carriers will not be collecting mail on MLK Day, so you won't be able to schedule a pickup or drop off mail at a post office.
  5. Delayed delivery: If you send mail on the day before MLK Day, it may be delayed in delivery due to the holiday.

Keep in mind that these rules apply to regular mail services, not private courier services like UPS, FedEx, or DHL, which may operate on a regular schedule.

If you have a specific question about mail delivery or services in your area, I recommend contacting your local post office or visiting the USPS website for more information.
