There is regular mail delivery on Black Friday in the U.S. in most cases, because Black Friday is not a federal holiday and normal USPS delivery resumes after Thanksgiving.

Is there mail on Black Friday?

  • USPS post offices are open on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and regular mail is delivered that day.
  • Black Friday is not on the official USPS federal holiday list, so it is treated like a normal business day for mail service.

What about packages (USPS, UPS, FedEx)?

  • USPS delivers regular mail and packages on Black Friday, following its standard weekday schedule in most areas.
  • UPS resumes normal pickup and delivery services on Black Friday after being closed for Thanksgiving Day.
  • FedEx offers most of its usual parcel and air services on Black Friday, though some specialized freight services may have limited operations.

Any exceptions to know?

  • Severe weather, unsafe access (like blocked mailboxes or dangerous dogs), or local operational issues can still cause USPS to delay or suspend delivery to specific addresses even on Black Friday.
  • Individual post offices or private carriers may adjust hours by location, so checking your local branch or tracking page is the safest way to confirm exact timing. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
