Is there mail delivery on december 24

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on December 24, also known as Christmas Eve. This is because December 25, Christmas Day, is a federal holiday, and the USPS is closed on that day.

However, the USPS may offer limited delivery services on December 24, depending on the location and the type of mail being sent. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Priority Mail Express: This service is typically available on December 24, but only for certain types of mail, such as packages and letters.
  2. Priority Mail: This service may be available on December 24, but only for certain types of mail, such as packages and letters.
  3. First-Class Mail: This service is usually not available on December 24, as it is a non-essential service.
  4. Parcel Post: This service is usually not available on December 24, as it is a non-essential service.

It's important to note that even if the USPS is delivering mail on December 24, there may be limited hours of operation and reduced staffing. Additionally, some post offices may be closed on December 24, so it's a good idea to check with your local post office to confirm their hours and services.

It's also worth noting that some private carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, may offer delivery services on December 24, but this will depend on the specific carrier and the type of service being used.
