Does the mail run on july 4th

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically observes federal holidays, including Independence Day (July 4th). This means that mail delivery and post office hours may be affected on July 4th.

Here's what you can expect:

1. Mail delivery: USPS will not deliver mail on July 4th. Mail delivery will resume on July 5th.
2. Post office hours: Most post offices will be closed on July 4th. However, some post offices may have limited hours or be open for a few hours, depending on the location and the specific post office.
3. Package delivery: Private carriers like UPS and FedEx may also observe July 4th as a holiday, but it's best to check with them directly for their specific holiday schedules.
4. Online services: You can still use online services like USPS.com to track packages, print shipping labels, and more, even on July 4th.

To confirm the specific hours and services for your local post office, you can:

• Visit the USPS website and use their "Post Office Locator" tool to find your local post office and its hours.
• Call your local post office directly to ask about their holiday hours.
• Check the USPS Facebook page or Twitter account for updates on holiday hours and services.

Remember to plan ahead and allow extra time for mail delivery and package shipping if you need to send something on July 4th.
