do we get mail the day after thanksgiving

Yes, regular U.S. mail is delivered the day after Thanksgiving.

USPS the day after Thanksgiving

  • Thanksgiving Day itself is a federal holiday, so post offices are closed and normal mail is not delivered, except for Priority Mail Express.
  • On the Friday after Thanksgiving (often called Black Friday), USPS returns to normal service with regular delivery and open post office counters.

What about UPS and FedEx?

  • UPS and FedEx also treat Thanksgiving Day as a full holiday with no regular pickup or delivery.
  • The day after Thanksgiving, both generally resume normal operations, though some locations or services can have modified hours, so checking locally is wise if timing is critical.

So in most typical years, you do get normal mail delivery the day after Thanksgiving.
