Good question, preparing early. Thank you for bringing it up.

I am sorry, but July 4 will be observed on July 4. Mail pickups will be normal on July 3.

FedEx and UPS are both open and running on July 3.

As mentioned by @JwsMarket, the July 4th holiday will be observed on July 4th. Saturday and Sunday are not considered business days and therefore the holiday falling on a Saturday should have no bearing on how Amazon determines shipping times. You are expected to ship and deliver the same as any other weekend.

This is what I found on the the USPS website stating postal holidays:

*This year, July 4 (the legal public holiday for Independence Day) falls on a Saturday. Post Offices will be closed and there will be no mail or package deliveries. Postal employees: Either Friday, July 3, or Saturday, July 4, will be treated as a holiday depending on employee duties and regular schedule. Check with your manager or supervisor for information on how this impacts you.

I may be wrong, but was under the impression that USPS cannot stop mail delivery for 2 scheduled days in a row. One reason, among many, that most gov. holidays fall on Monday, linked to Sundays which aren’t scheduled delivery days, at least pre-Amazon.

Even if the president gives gov. employees an extra day off- I recollect this occurred when X-mas fell on Thursday and Friday became a gov. holiday by proclamation, I don’t believe USPS is included.

Sheryl just because they don’t have counter service, doesn’t mean that there aren’t all kinds of things going on in the background … I spoke to one of my counter people at my favorite post office on motor near Venice, and he elected to work the last holiday, they get really good extra pay… you’re aren’t aware of … central processing stations pretty much operate Around the Clock, truckers are still taking full loads to those processing stations … From Los Angeles they’re still taking things to be loaded on airplanes to go across the country… trucked within the state…

Mail moves everyday but Thanksgiving and Christmas day. But that is not the OP’s question.

July 3rd is a regular day. July 4th which this year is a Saturday, normal mail will not be delivered. Counters will be closed.

We are on a commercial route, we’ll be asked if we want a pickup. We skip the July 4th weekend.
