Does the mail get delivered on christmaseve
In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on Christmas Eve (December 24th). However, the exact delivery schedule may vary depending on your location and the type of mail you are sending.
Here are some general guidelines:
- Regular Mail: The USPS usually stops delivering regular mail on December 23rd or 24th, depending on the volume of mail and the workload of the local post office.
- Priority Mail: Priority Mail, which is a faster and more reliable service, may still be delivered on Christmas Eve, but it's not guaranteed.
- Express Mail: Express Mail, which is the fastest and most reliable service, is usually delivered on Christmas Eve, but it's still subject to weather and other conditions.
- Special Delivery: Special Delivery, which is a guaranteed overnight service, may still be delivered on Christmas Eve, but it's not guaranteed.
It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or the USPS website for specific information on holiday delivery schedules in your area. You can also use the USPS's "Delivery Schedule" tool on their website to check the delivery schedule for your specific zip code.
Remember to plan ahead and send your holiday cards and gifts well in advance to ensure they arrive on time.
