4th Of July 2017: Can You Mail Packages On The Holiday?

Many of you may be wondering whether you can go to the post office or mail packages on July 4th this year?

ATLANTA, GA -- As the 4th of July weekend begins, you may have packages that need to be sent via the post office in the coming days. A holiday weekend always presents an opportunity to test our skills at time management trying to sort through some basic questions: Did you get what you needed for the cookout? Did you make reservations at your favorite spot? What are the hours at the post office?

If you want to mail a package this weekend, the U.S. Postal Service will continue normal office and delivery operations, including Monday, July 3, the company said in a news release.

On Tuesday, July 4th, the postal service will close in observance of the holiday.
