Is the post office open on Labor Day?
Mail · Labor Day
Closed
No — there's no mail delivery on Labor Day.
Labor Day (the first Monday in September) is a federal holiday, so USPS closes — no delivery, no retail windows, no collection pickups. Tuesday's route carries the backlog.
It always falls on a Monday, so there's no observed-date shuffle to think about: Saturday delivery runs as usual, Sunday has no regular delivery either way, and Monday is the day off.
