do we get mail on mlk day

No, there is no regular USPS mail delivery on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and post offices are closed because it is a federal holiday.

USPS on MLK Day

• USPS treats Martin Luther King Jr. Day as one of its official federal holidays, so there is no regular home or business mail delivery or pickup.

• Retail post office counters are closed, though some lobbies and PO boxes may still be accessible for self-service or box access.

Any exceptions?

• Priority Mail Express and certain special holiday premium services can still be delivered, but these are limited and cost extra.

• You can still drop mail in blue collection boxes or use self-service kiosks, but it will not be processed until the next business day (Tuesday).

What about UPS and FedEx?

• UPS does not do normal pickups or deliveries on MLK Day, and many of its locations are closed or on reduced hours.

• FedEx typically runs a modified schedule, with some services operating and others limited, so checking the specific service and local schedule is recommended.

Planning your mail

• Time-sensitive letters or packages should be sent early enough to arrive before the holiday or sent via an eligible express service.

• Expect a small backlog after the long weekend, so mail and packages may move a bit slower the day or two after MLK Day.
