The United States Postal Service (USPS) does not deliver mail on Sundays and on the following federal holidays:

  • New Years Day (January 1)
  • Martin Luther King Jr. Day (third Monday of January)
  • Presidents Day (third Monday of February)
  • Memorial Day (last Monday of May)
  • Independence Day (July 4)
  • Labor Day (first Monday of September)
  • Columbus Day (second Monday of October)
  • Veterans Day (November 11)
  • Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday of November)
  • Christmas Day (December 25)

If a holiday falls on a Sunday, USPS observes it on the following Monday. USPS delivers from Monday to Saturday in ordinary circumstances, and deliveries are made up until 5 PM. In some situations, deliveries may be made after 5 PM, especially if traffic delays or bad weather has slowed a mail carrier down. When this occurs, you can expect your mail to be later than normal. Sometimes, this will result in a non-delivery day, because the driver will not be able to finish their normal route. If this happens, the mail will be delivered the following day.
