Does mail run on xmas eve

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically operates on a reduced schedule on Christmas Eve (December 24th). Here's what you can expect:

  1. Regular Mail Delivery: USPS will deliver mail as usual on Christmas Eve, but with some exceptions. Priority Mail Express and Priority Mail will be delivered as usual, but First-Class Mail and other services might be delayed.
  2. Post Office Hours: Most post offices will be open on Christmas Eve, but hours may vary. You can check your local post office's hours by visiting the USPS website or calling them directly.
  3. Package Delivery: For packages shipped via Priority Mail Express, USPS guarantees delivery by December 24th. For other services, delivery times may be delayed due to increased volume and reduced staffing.
  4. No Mail Delivery on Christmas Day: USPS will not deliver mail on Christmas Day (December 25th). All post offices will be closed, and no mail will be processed or delivered.

Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and specific post office hours and delivery schedules may vary depending on your location. It's always a good idea to check with your local post office for their holiday hours and delivery schedules.

If you're planning to send gifts or packages, make sure to check the USPS website for recommended shipping deadlines to ensure timely delivery.
