Here’s where it gets fun, like finding a hidden egg. While USPS headquarters says, “Yes, we’re open,” individual post offices can close for local observances.
If you live in a state, county, or city that considers Good Friday a holiday, your local post office might shut its doors. I know, it’s confusing. It’s like the postal service has a secret code that only they understand.
Think of places like Texas, Connecticut, or Hawaii, which sometimes treat Good Friday as a state holiday. But even then, not all post offices follow suit. The only way to be sure? Check your local branch’s hours online.
What About Mail Delivery?
Here’s the best news: mail delivery usually happens on Good Friday. Yes, you heard that right! Your bills, your magazines, and that weird catalog from a store you’ve never visited—they’ll all arrive.
Unless your carrier decides to take a personal Easter egg hunt day off (which they won’t). The only exception is if Good Friday falls on a national holiday, which it doesn’t since it’s always a Friday.
So, check your mailbox! You might even get an Easter card. Or a bill, but let’s focus on the positive here. Free paper, anyone?
