why does the postal service close on president's day...?

President's Day is a public holiday and the Post office closes as a government agency. "Washington's Birthday" is the designated holiday in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees.

Some are, some aren't. I think it depends on what state you're in. Massachusetts' banks will probably be closed to observe he Patriots' Day Holiday, which falls on 4/17 this year. North Carolina banks will be open.

Nothing I get in the mail couldn't wait for Monday. I think it is a good idea, They might keep a small group to deliver special delivery mail for business, but raise the rates for Saturday delivery only. I think postage rates are pretty high as it is. I have cut down on mail I send because of it, I no longer send Christmas cards as an example.

Are you in the USA?  Mail service will be intact on Wed. 11/23, but won't be on Thurs. 11/24 (Thanksgiving).  It will be back in service on Fri 11/25.

Depends on to many factors, The Weather, The local post office and postman (Or woman). My Postal service here is never on time, It can vary from 10:00 am on weekends to after 3:00pm in the weekdays. What also has a factor is the day of the month. Due to workloads (the 1st and 15th) for example will make them run late as well.

I'm sure some of them accidently get thrown out, but alot of post offices do something special, l like designate someone to answer the letters, or an operation like Operation Letters to Santa (see link below).  Luckily the Chrismas spirit isn't lost, even on busy postal workers.\nHappy Holidays!\np.s. Maybe you should send a letter to see if your local post office does anything?

There are. Its just not a federal holiday. Most business consider it a holiday or a personal holiday.

I don't know, but I guarantee it's too much.\n\nMy mail carrier carries my mail to my mail box when she feels like it. Rainy days, forget it. Overly hot days, forget it. And you know it's not that I just didn't get any mail, because I'll have like 20 pieces of mail after her "vacation days."\n\nThe USPS is just another form of Gov't Controlled Monopoly.

It is too late. The races will be won or lost tonight. No one will care about votes that come in after that. If you DO have an absentee ballot, it will tell you by what date you have to mail it. Think about it, elections are decided today. Your ballot gets in Thursday. Will it matter then? NO. Consider the case of absentee ballots in Florida during the last presidential election. Get to the polls NOW.

The mail is traveling between major post offices all the time. But mail is not always picked up from each and every office in the country on Sunday. At most smaller offices the mail does not leave that office after 5pm on Saturday, it will stay there until the first dispatch truck on Monday.

Wikipedia has a good article on this topic.  President Lincoln made it official national holiday to the last Thursday of November, but was later changed by FDR and by the Congress to the fourth Thursday of November.
