July 4 mail delivery
A question about mail delivery on a special day!
In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically observes federal holidays, including Independence Day (July 4th). This means that mail delivery may be affected on this day.
Here are some general guidelines:
- No regular mail delivery: The USPS does not deliver regular mail on July 4th. This includes first-class mail, priority mail, and package delivery.
- Limited services: Some post offices may be open on July 4th, but with limited hours and services. You can check with your local post office to confirm their hours and availability.
- No mail pickup: Mail carriers will not be collecting mail on July 4th, so you won't be able to schedule a pickup for that day.
- Delayed delivery: If you send mail on July 3rd, it may be delayed in delivery due to the holiday. This is because mail processing and delivery operations may be slowed down or suspended on July 4th.
- Special delivery services: Some special delivery services, like Priority Mail Express, may still be available on July 4th, but with limited hours and availability. You can check with your local post office for more information.
Keep in mind that these guidelines may vary depending on your location and the specific services offered by your local post office. It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or the USPS website for the most up-to-date information on mail delivery on July 4th.
