Presidents’ Day Post Office Hours: Is There Mail Delivery February 16?
Is the post office open and will mail be delivered on Presidents’ Day? While retail stores, restaurants, and even a few banks will be open on February 16, the U.S. Post Office will be closed on the federal holiday. Postal employees will be enjoying a day off on Monday, but all USPS services will resume on Tuesday.
This isn’t the only federal holiday observed by the post office. According to the United States Postal Service, there are seven more federal holidays coming up in 2015 — Memorial Day (May 25) is next on the list.
If you can’t wait until Tuesday to send out a package, UPS will be open and deliveries will be made to homes and businesses on Monday. FedEx is also operating on a regular weekday schedule — the company provides normal pickup and delivery service on Presidents’ Day and three other federal holidays, including Martin Luther King Day, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day.
