U.s. mail delivery on veterans day
The United States Postal Service (USPS) typically observes Veterans Day, which is celebrated on November 11th, as a federal holiday. This means that mail delivery is affected on this day.
Here are some details on how Veterans Day affects mail delivery:
- No regular mail delivery: The USPS does not deliver regular mail on Veterans Day. 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 and drop-off
- Money orders and other financial services
- Passport services (at select locations)
- No mail collection: Mail collection boxes are not emptied on Veterans Day, so any mail deposited in these boxes will not be collected until the next business day.
- Some exceptions: Some post offices may have extended hours or special services on Veterans Day, especially those located in areas with high concentrations of veterans or military personnel. It's best to check with your local post office for specific hours and services.
- Online services: You can still access USPS online services, such as tracking packages, purchasing stamps, and scheduling pickups, on Veterans Day.
Keep in mind that these services and hours may vary depending on your location and the specific 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 Veterans Day services.
