Is the post office closed today on Columbus Day 2024? Is there postal delivery? Is the mail running?

People expecting mail may have to wait another day or two for it to arrive after Columbus Day 2024.

Because the U.S. Postal Service is a government organization, Columbus Day is typically observed, which means that mail delivery stops and post offices remain closed.

UPS and FedEx, on the other hand, are private mail delivery companies and will have their own hours on Monday, October 14th.
