Speaking of mail delivery, I've always complained about Mail Innovations. I haven't had any deliveries from them in ages, but I had a package scheduled for delivery by them on July 4th and it arrived today two days early by someone in a small red car and he even rang the door bell. Neither UPS nor the post office does that. Maybe they have improved.

@I am still oxox

USPS mail is being delivered on July 3rd.

I believe that it's a federal law that PO delivery cannot be suspended for holidays for more than 3 days in a row.

@Desertdi The USPS is indeed delivering mail on Friday, July 3, as normal. It's Saturday, the holiday, that will not see mail delivery, and no mail as usual on Sunday.

When I'm not sure about a holiday, in terms of mail delivery, I google 'USPS Holidays (year)' and it gives the list of days.

This time, as mentioned by others it's only Saturday - at least according to what I got on the USPS site, unless something changed.

There is NO USPS home delivery in my neighborhood at all. Never Ever -- unless it's Special Delivery. Gotta go get it...

This is heat-related.

On the subject of mail, just to add the price of stamps goes up on the 12th to 82 cents for a first class stamp.

I came over here from Santa Monica after the '94 quake. I didn't have much damage...but the building where I worked was condemned.

No job left...nobody hiring. Needed MONEY to pay the rent. No other choice! di

The info I have is for Phoenix. The "official" work holiday here is for July 3.

The info I have is for Phoenix. The "official" work holiday here is for July 3.

While Phoenix City Offices will be closed on Friday, July 3, 2025 for the Independence Day Holiday (Observed), the USPS is Federal so they are open on Friday, July 3, and deliveries will occur as normal.

Post Offices in Phoenix will be OPEN and mail will be delivered as usual on Friday, July 3rd. Because the Independence Day federal holiday falls on a Saturday, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) observes the holiday on July 4th (Saturday), meaning all regular retail services and mail delivery will be paused that Saturday and resume Monday.

A direct quote from USPS website...."The U.S. Postal Service will observe Independence Day on Saturday, July 4. All Post Office locations will be closed. Regular mail delivery and retail services will resume on Monday, July 6. Post Offices will be open, and deliveries will occur as normal on Friday, July 3."

Correct! Thank you for posting correct information!

Of course, there's no mail delivery on Saturday, July 4th. It's a national holiday. 🇺🇸

The United States Postal Service does not observe the Independence Day holiday on Friday, July 3rd. All local Post Offices will remain open and deliver regular mail on Friday, July 3rd. USPS will be closed on the actual holiday on Saturday, July 4th, with no regular mail delivery.

While most federal agencies close on Friday when the Fourth of July lands on a weekend, the Postal Service operates on its normal schedule.

This makes more sense. My credit union is closed tomorrow like many companies since the 4th falls on a Saturday.
