This is from the USPS web site:

There will be no regular mail delivery or retail services at Post Offices Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007, as the Postal Service is closing to observe the national day of mourning for former President Gerald Ford. The decision follows an Executive Order issued by President Bush that independent federal agencies close as a mark of respect for Ford, who died Dec. 26. Express Mail deliveries will be made Jan. 2. Regular retail and delivery service will resume Wednesday, Jan. 3.

Destination Delivery Unit (DDU) drop shipments will not be accepted in Post Offices Jan. 2. Customers are advised to adjust planned Tuesday, Jan. 2 DDU drop shipments for deposit Jan. 3. Bulk Mail Centers and Plants will accommodate drop shipment appointments already scheduled for Jan. 2.

Wow this is a first, bulk entry folks are always there! Glad I don't have a mailing going out. Imagine there are a few business folk out there that are gonna get a suprise when thier transportation tries to deliver their mass mailing today! Thanks for sharing the good info.

Does that include mail pick-up? If I drop a piece of mail into the box on the corner, will it be picked up?

I sure hope so. I paid some bills that way Saturday night. There was no pick-up Sunday, none Monday due to the holiday, and if not today then my bills which are due Friday are still sitting in the box....since Saturday.

Our postmistress called our office, which is a government building, on Friday and told us that if we had our mail in the blue box outside the post office by 3 PM, the truck would pick it up. I hope it was the same for you in NY nap.

Well, time will tell, Joan. If I get charged a late fee, I'll just have to pay it.

OMG; I forgot to pay my bills today. All of mine I just do debits, but still gotta do it. Thanks for reminding me. Guess I'll be up late again.
