Easter Friday, or Good Friday, is a federal holiday for most government services. That means the United States Postal Service (USPS) officially takes the day off. No mail delivery, no retail window service, no collection boxes being emptied.
But wait—is it a “real” holiday? You know, like Christmas or Thanksgiving? Legally, yes. Good Friday is not a federal holiday across all states, but for USPS purposes, it is treated as one because it falls under the umbrella of “observed holidays.” So unless you live in a town where the post office is run by elves who love chocolate eggs, expect the doors to be locked.
Private carriers like FedEx and UPS? They mostly operate on Good Friday, but with modified services. (Because nothing says “Easter spirit” like business as usual, right?)
