Can mail be delivered during the Holidays? We will let you know this information just in a couple of minutes!

In case you’ve ever missed your delivery because of the federal holiday, now you might obsess a bit over a question “is today a mail holiday?”. And that is a quite understandable question, considering that most carriers alter their business hours in accordance with federal holiday schedule. And even though not all the carriers in the US share the same mail holidays schedule, it is always better to know if and what kind of mail holiday today is for the carrier managing your particular delivery.

How to find out holiday mail schedule?

Since the schedule differs from postal company to postal company, it’s always important to make sure in advance, if the carrier you choose for mailing is capable of providing you delivery on the day you need it. That’s why you can check on the holiday mail schedule at your carrier’s official website and plan your deliveries accordingly.

Can I receive my mail on holiday?

Usually, the answer would be no, that’s practically impossible. Most carriers do not provide delivery of your parcels on the holidays, if the holidays in question are mentioned in their schedule as days-off. That’s quite obvious. But, some carriers deliver critical express mail on holiday. So if you are in an urgent need of delivery, if your parcel is extremely time sensitive and requires delivery on a certain date, that just happens to be a federal holiday, you can use critical express services, which do cost a fortune, but does not depend on any holidays. For any other type of delivery, first ask yourself, is today a mail holiday?
