Labor Day – which lands this year on Monday, September 1, 2025 – marks the informal end of American workers’ celebrations and the summer season. During that weekend, the family planned barbecue, trips and outings. But if you wish to put down your parcel or pick up your email, you might be wondering: Is the post office open on Labor Day? Here’s everything you need to know this year.

What does this mean to you
If you rely on USP to meet your shipping or parcel needs, plan ahead – all services will be suspended on Labor Day. To meet urgent needs, you can still access the Drop Box and self-service machines, but emails won’t be dispatched until September 2. If you usually visit the post office on Saturdays, take a relaxing break – August 30, which is August 30, will run under normal times. Unless part of a specific arrangement such as Amazon delivery on Sunday, Sunday operations are still rare, with no regular mail delivery or pickup.
Labor Day weekend is a great time to enjoy your last summer, then the fall routine begins – but logistics planning is crucial. Since USPS is closed all day on Monday, September 1, 2025, make sure any mail or pickup occurs before the holiday, or wait until USPS resumes operations on Tuesday.
