Mail delivery was halted for Christmas day but it’s back to work for the U.S. Postal Service on Tuesday, Dec. 26.

The post offices will be open and regular mail delivery will resume on Tuesday, Dec. 26.

There will be holiday changes later in the week, however, due to New Year’s.

All branches of USPS will be closed New Year’s Day (Jan. 1, 2024). This closure will affect all postal services, including retail services, mail delivery and blue collection boxes.

This year, New Year’s Eve falls on a Sunday when post offices are already closed and there are no plans for limited hours on Dec. 30. Customers are encouraged to check with their local Post Office for hours of operation.

There are currently no plans for early blue box collection times on Saturday, Dec. 30.

Customers who are unable to mail items before the scheduled collection box pickup times on Dec. 30 should use the postal locator at tools.usps.com to find Post Office locations that may be open late.

Post offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 1 with no collection for blue boxes and no residential or business delivery service on those days, except for Priority Mail Express which is delivered 365 days a year in select locations for an additional fee.
