Which holidays have no mail delivery for the US?

In: Holidays and Traditions, Postage and Shipping

Answer:

Nationwide, USPS (the US Post Office) delivers Express Mail, the expedited one-to-two-day mail service, 365 days a year. General residential service is not provided on 10 days each year, which are holidays for the letter carrier craft. 5 of these are Monday holidays.

These days are legal holidays in the US :

January 1 New Year's Day (mail holiday Jan. 2 if January 1 is a Sunday)
Martin Luther King Jr. Day (birthday observed on third Monday in January)
President's Day (legally Washington's Birthday, observed third Monday in February)
Memorial Day (historically May 30, observed since 1968 on the last Monday in May)
July 4 Independence Day (mail holiday observed Monday July 5 if it falls on Sunday)
Labor Day (observed first Monday in September)
Columbus Day (historically October 12 , observed second Monday in October)
November 11 Veterans Day (mail holiday Monday November 12 if it falls on Sunday)
Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in November)
December 25 Christmas Day (mail holiday observed Monday Dec. 26 if Christmas is a Sunday)
