What holidays do we not get mail
In the United States, the following federal holidays are typically observed by the United States Postal Service (USPS), which means that mail delivery is suspended or significantly reduced on these days:
- New Year's Day - January 1st
- Martin Luther King Jr. Day - Third Monday in January
- Presidents' Day - Third Monday in February
- Memorial Day - Last Monday in May
- Independence Day - July 4th
- Labor Day - First Monday in September
- Columbus Day - Second Monday in October
- Veterans Day - November 11th
- Thanksgiving Day - Fourth Thursday in November
- Christmas Day - December 25th
On these holidays, mail delivery is usually suspended, and post offices are closed. However, some services may still be available, such as:
- Priority Mail Express: This service is available 365 days a year, including holidays.
- Package delivery: Some package delivery services, like UPS and FedEx, may still operate on holidays, but with reduced hours or modified schedules.
- Online services: You can still access online services, such as tracking packages, paying bills, and ordering stamps, on holidays.
Keep in mind that while the USPS observes these federal holidays, private companies and businesses may have their own holiday schedules, which may differ from the USPS.
