Does the USPS deliver on Christmas Eve?

The USPS does deliver on December 24, but your local post office may close early.

Christmas hours are posted at each post office location.

Business customers can check with Bulk Mail Entry Unit for hours of operation.

Additionally, blue collection boxes with final collection times before 12 pm will not be affected by early closing on December 24.

“If a box has a final collection time after 12 pm, its mail may be picked up earlier,” the USPS says.

“For mail pickup on December 24, please put your mail into blue collection boxes by noon regardless of the final collection times posted on the box.”

Customers who need later mail pickups on Christmas Eve should visit their local post office.
