Is mail delivered on new years eve

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on New Year's Eve (December 31st). This is because many postal facilities and mail processing centers are closed on this day to allow employees to celebrate the holiday with their families.

However, the USPS may make exceptions for certain types of mail, such as:

  1. Priority Mail Express: This service is typically available 365 days a year, including New Year's Eve. If you need to send a Priority Mail Express package on December 31st, you can do so at a post office that is open on that day.
  2. International Mail: The USPS may still deliver international mail on New Year's Eve, depending on the destination country's postal schedule and the type of mail being sent.
  3. Special Delivery: In some cases, the USPS may make special arrangements to deliver mail on New Year's Eve for critical or time-sensitive packages, such as medical supplies or emergency packages.

It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or the USPS website to confirm their holiday hours and delivery schedules before sending mail on New Year's Eve.
