Does the post office deliver mail on memorial day
In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically observes federal holidays, including Memorial Day. This means that mail delivery is affected on Memorial Day.
Here's what you can expect:
- No regular mail delivery: The USPS does not deliver regular mail on Memorial Day, which is a federal holiday. This includes first-class mail, priority mail, and package delivery.
- Limited services: While there is no regular mail delivery, some post offices may offer limited services, such as:
- Package pickup: You can still drop off packages at a post office or a self-service kiosk.
- Mail drop-off: You can still drop off mail at a post office, but it will not be processed or delivered on Memorial Day.
- Some post offices may have extended hours or special hours on Memorial Day, but this is not guaranteed.
- No mail delivery to PO boxes: PO boxes are not serviced on Memorial Day, so you won't receive any mail or packages at your PO box.
- Some exceptions: Some private carriers, like UPS and FedEx, may still deliver packages on Memorial Day, but this is not guaranteed and may vary depending on the carrier and your location.
Keep in mind that these rules apply to regular mail delivery. If you have a specific question about a package or mail delivery, it's best to contact the USPS or your local post office directly.
