Is the Post Office Open on New Years Eve 2014 (December 31, 2014)

Hoping to do some last-minute mailing? Is the Post Office open on New Years Eve 2014 (December 31, 2014)? The answer is YES. According to the 2014 list of postal holidays, the 31st is not a holiday for USPS.

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 Thursday, December 25 and Thursday, January 1, 2015. All Post Offices will be open and regular mail delivery will resume on Friday, Dec. 26 and Friday, Jan. 2.

Be sure to deposit your mail into all blue collection boxes by noon on Dec. 24 and 31, regardless of the final collection times posted. This means if the final collection time is already before noon (12 p.m.), there will be no change. However, if the final collection time is normally after noon (12 p.m.), mail may be collected early.
