Does the mail come on new year's day

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on New Year's Day (January 1st). This is because it is a federal holiday, and many postal facilities and mail processing centers are closed on this day.

However, it's worth noting that some areas may have special arrangements or exceptions, such as:

  1. Priority Mail Express: This service is typically available 365 days a year, including holidays. If you need to send a Priority Mail Express package on New Year's Day, you can do so at a post office that is open on that day.
  2. Limited hours: Some post offices may have limited hours on New Year's Day, so it's best to check with your local post office to confirm their hours before heading out.
  3. Private carriers: Private carriers like UPS and FedEx may have different holiday schedules and may deliver packages on New Year's Day, depending on their specific policies.

To confirm whether your mail will be delivered on New Year's Day, you can:

  1. Check with your local post office: Visit the USPS website or call your local post office to confirm their hours and delivery schedule for New Year's Day.
  2. Check the USPS website: The USPS website typically posts information about holiday hours and delivery schedules in advance.
  3. Contact your private carrier: If you're using a private carrier like UPS or FedEx, you can check their website or contact their customer service to confirm their holiday schedule.

Remember to plan ahead and allow extra time for your mail to be delivered if you're sending packages or letters on New Year's Day.
