Postal Service Announce No Mail Delivery on Tuesday: Here's Why You Can Skip Checking Your Mailbox

(NEXSTAR) — This year, Tuesday, November 11, holds dual significance, one aspect of which will spare you a journey to the post office.

The date marks Veterans Day, a time dedicated to paying tribute to those who have served in the armed forces. As a recognized federal holiday, this means all post offices will not operate on that day.

The U.S. Postal Service, which Postmaster General and CEO David Steiner notes as “one of the largest civilian employers of America’s veterans,” will only be dispatching Priority Mail Express on Tuesday. However, self-service kiosks located in select post offices across the country will remain operational, allowing customers to purchase stamps, print postage, weigh and mail parcels, and track shipments.

Meanwhile, other courier services such as FedEx, UPS, and Amazon will continue their operations as usual on Tuesday.

Second Trump-designated holiday is next week: What’s the significance?

In addition to Veterans Day, Tuesday will mark the second holiday designated by President Trump earlier this year.

The U.S. has observed Veterans Day in some form since it became a legal holiday in 1938. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was meant to honor veterans of World War I. On November 11, 1918, Germany and the Allies signed an armistice agreement to end what was then known as the Great War. After World War II, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day, and its purpose grew to honor all U.S. veterans from every war.

Initially, Trump wanted to rename Veterans Day to “Victory Day for World War I Day.” A day later, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that Veterans Day would not be renamed but that the new holiday would “just be an additional proclamation.”

Veterans Day will remain intact and largely unaffected by the expected proclamation from Trump. You’ll also still have off work if your company observes the federal holiday. And if your company does not treat it as a day off, it will likely stay that way.

Trump previously said the country would not be closing for the two “very important Holidays” because “we already have too many Holidays in America — There are not enough days left in the year.”

You’ll have a day off (of work and from checking your mailbox) soon, however. Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away.
