Is the Post Office Open on New Years Eve 2013

Hoping to do some last-minute mailing? Is the Post Office open on New Years Eve 2013 (December 31, 2013)? The answer is YES. According to the 2013 list of postal holidays, the 31st is not a holiday for USPS. However, USPS will be closing early on New Years Eve.

Post Offices nationwide will be open on Christmas Eve, Tuesday, Dec. 24, and New Year’s Eve, Tuesday, Dec. 31. Most Post Offices will shorten retail lobby hours and close at noon on these holiday eves. Regular mail delivery for Dec. 24 and 31 will be unaffected by the change.

Revised hours will be posted at each Post Office. If you are a business customer, please check with your Bulk Mail Entry Unit for specific information regarding holiday hours of operation.

Post Offices will be closed Wednesday, Dec. 25 and Wednesday, Jan. 1. Only Priority Mail Express™ will be delivered on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. All Post Offices will be open and regular mail delivery will resume on Thursday, Dec. 26 and Thursday, Jan. 2.
