Mail on memorial day
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States that is observed on the last Monday of May every year. On this day, the United States Postal Service (USPS) observes a modified holiday schedule, which means that mail delivery and postal services are affected. Here's what you can expect:
Mail Delivery:
- The USPS will not deliver mail on Memorial Day, which is Monday.
- Mail delivery will resume on Tuesday, the day after Memorial Day.
Post Office Hours:
- Most post offices will be closed on Memorial Day, but some may have limited hours or be open for a few hours.
- It's best to check with your local post office to confirm their hours before heading out.
Package Delivery:
- FedEx and UPS, private courier services, will also observe a modified holiday schedule, but their delivery schedules may vary depending on the location and type of service.
- If you have a package scheduled for delivery on Memorial Day, it may be delayed or rescheduled for the next business day.
Online Services:
- The USPS website (usps.com) and online services, such as tracking and shipping, will be available as usual, but some services may be delayed or have limited functionality.
Other Services:
- Other government agencies, such as the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service, may also have limited hours or be closed on Memorial Day.
Remember to plan ahead and check with your local post office or courier service for any specific holiday hours or delivery schedules.
