Post officle closed on holidays? What about USPS Express dellivery on holidays?

Question

Is Post office closed on Martin Luther King Day?

Website states express is free weekends and holidays but has anyone had experience with these deliveries?

Also if you ship express does it arrive on the holiday that is the next day. Example you ship day before thanksgiving or Martin Luther king day or in this case the Fri or Sat before Martin luther?

Answer 1

Yes, they are the same.

Answer 2

Yes, USPS is closed tomorrow on MLK day. As far as I know, no mail is delivered or accepted. I need to mail something too :(

Try UPS or FedEx perhaps!

Answer 3

Yes, Express Mail is delivered every day of the year in a lot of places, but not everywhere. Sunday and Holiday deliveries are limited to mid to larger cities. Think population of about 30-50,000 or more.

Otherwise, delivery will occur on Tuesday.
