The question of, “Will mail be delivered on Memorial Day?” is answered with a big “No.” All post offices and federal offices of any kind will be closed for the holiday, which means that no businesses nor homes will get mail. This also counts out USPS packages. According to USPS, because it is a federal holiday, all federal offices are closed. However, all federal workers are still paid for the day.

As far as Fedex and UPS go, their services are suspended, but will resume the day after, on Tuesday, May 26, 2015.

Holidays on which mail is not delivered are:

New Year’s Day
Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday
Washington’s Birthday (President’s Day)
Presidents’ Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Veterans Day
