Is the Post Office Open on Good Friday 2019?

Although Good Friday isn’t technically a holiday, some establishments choose to close early or close for the day as part of the Easter weekend. Because Friday isn’t a federal holiday, it can be difficult determining just what’s open. Are you wondering if your mail will be delivered, or if the post office is open on Good Friday? Here’s what you should know as well as some options through FedEx and UPS if you need to mail something over the Easter weekend.
