The United States Postal Service (USPS) announced that its facilities will be closed for retail services on Thursday, June 19, 2025, in observance of Juneteenth Freedom Day, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. Regular mail deliveries will also be suspended, with the exception of holiday premium Priority Mail Express services, which will continue as scheduled.
Normal retail operations, mail deliveries, and collection schedules will resume on Friday, June 20, 2025. Customers needing postal services during the closure can purchase stamps at most grocery stores, pharmacies, and convenience stores. For round-the-clock access, the USPS website at usps.com offers a range of services, including ZIP Code lookups, package tracking, stamp purchases, mail holds, online postage printing, address changes, package pickup scheduling, and locating USPS facilities with self-service kiosks.
The Juneteenth closure aligns with federal recognition of the holiday, established in 2021, which honors the emancipation announcement in Texas on June 19, 1865. The USPS, serving over 163 million delivery points nationwide, encourages customers to plan ahead for their mailing needs.
