USPS publishes a postal holiday calendar. Retail counter hours depend on the Post Office, and self-service access can differ from staffed service. The 2027 operating calendar has not been confirmed here.
Last verified: 2026-10-122026 regular mail and postal retail holiday schedule
Priority Mail Express and certain package operations may run on holidays. A lobby or kiosk being accessible does not mean the counter is staffed.
The selected date is a calendar date in your chosen U.S. time zone. It is not a live operational alert. Follow the organization’s own schedule, then confirm the exact branch, service or appointment.
A postal calendar is not the federal employee calendar
USPS explicitly lists normal delivery and Post Office operations for July 3, 2026, while July 4 is the postal holiday. A federal Friday observance must not be used to infer a postal closure.
The official calendar reviewed for this edition lists 2026. Our 2027 entries stay unconfirmed until the 2027 postal operating schedule is checked. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve 2026 need a local-hours check.
