NO REGULAR MAIL DELIVERY OR RETAIL SERVICE ON FRIDAY, JUNE 11, AS MARK OF RESPECT FOR FORMER PRESIDENT RONALD W. REAGAN
WASHINGTON, D.C. - There will be no regular mail delivery or retail service at postal facilities on Friday, June 11, as the Postal Service honors the memory of former President Ronald Reagan by observing a National Day of Mourning.
Express Mail service will be available.
All postal units, including Headquarters, Area and District administrative offices will observe this day of mourning.
Regular delivery and retail operations will resume Saturday, June 12.
Business mailers who had planned to deposit large mail volumes at Postal Service Bulk Mail Acceptance Units on Friday should contact their mail acceptance facilities, to determine if there are any changes to acceptance dates and times.
Since 1775, the U.S. Postal Service has connected friends, families, neighbors and businesses by mail. An independent federal agency, the Postal Service makes deliveries to about 141 million addresses every day and is the only service provider to deliver to every address in the nation. The Postal Service receives no taxpayer dollars for routine operations, but derives its operating revenues solely from the sale of postage, products and services. With annual revenues of more than $68 billion, it is the world's leading provider of mail and delivery services, offering some of the most affordable postage rates in the world. Moreover, today's postage rates will remain stable until at least 2006. The U.S. Postal Service delivers more than 43 percent of the world's mail volume -- some 202 billion letters, advertisements, periodicals and packages a year -- and serves seven million customers each day at its 38,000 retail locations nationwide.
