U.S. Postal Service Holidays in 2024: Is the Post Office Open?

The U.S. Postal Service observes 11 official holidays annually, including Thanksgiving. Post offices will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 28, and the Postal Service will not deliver regular mail or packages on that date.

Here are the Postal Service holidays for 2024:

• New Year’s Day: Monday, Jan. 1
• Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Monday, Jan. 15
• Presidents Day: Monday, Feb. 19
• Memorial Day: Monday, May 27

Even when brick-and-mortar facilities are closed, some post office services are available online 24/7, including on holidays. With a USPS.com account, you can order stamps, print shipping labels, order boxes and other mail supplies, and request package pickups.

Stamps are also sold at most major supermarkets, pharmacies and office supply stores, which are open on some federal holidays.

FedEx and UPS holidays

Other major delivery companies set their own schedules and operate partially or in full on some federal holidays. FedEx and UPS do not pickup up or deliver on Thanksgiving except through their services for urgent and critical deliveries, and FedEx Office and UPS Store retail locations will be closed. Normal services and store hours resume on the day after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday.
