The U.S. Postal Service observes 11 official holidays annually, including Veterans Day. Post offices will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 11, and the Postal Service will not deliver regular mail or packages on that date.
Here are the Postal Service holidays for 2026:
Even when brick-and-mortar facilities are closed, some post office services are available online 24/7, including on holidays. With a USPS.com account, you can order stamps, print shipping labels, order boxes and other mail supplies, and request package pickups.
Stamps are also sold at most major supermarkets, pharmacies and office supply stores, which are open on some federal holidays.
Other major delivery companies set their own schedules and operate partially or in full on some federal holidays. Most FedEx and UPS services operate normally on Veterans Day (although some deliveries may be affected by the Postal Service holiday). FedEx Office and UPS Store retail locations will be open.
