2023 USPS Services
The USPS is supporting government enterprise and is one of the largest businesses in the United States that has reached every address in the nation. It is the most trusted government agency in the country. People prefer the US Parcel Service to deliver their packages or mail outside the United States or elsewhere.
People choose this because they know that there will be a minimum cost for shipping compared to other courier companies. The USPS is giving the same facilities that other organizations are providing but at a lower cost.
If you are a customer of the United States Parcel Service, you should know that there are some days in the year when this Postal Company does not send any mail (except 'Priority Mail Express Service'). If you are not known about it, then in an emergency you can get into a big problem.
There is a list of post office holidays of 2023. On these days, mail will not be sent or delivered, so plan according to that. It is essential to give full attention to the information provided here. Feel free to use this 2023 USPS / Post Office Holiday Quick Reference Guide that shown above.

There are 11 federal holidays in 2023. Federal law
(5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the public holidays listed below for federal employees as paid vacation days. Most federal employees work on a Monday through Friday schedule, so for these employees, if a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is usually observed on Monday (when the holiday is on a Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday). *If a holiday falls on a Saturday, for most Federal employees, the preceding Friday will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes. (See 5 U.S.C. 6103(b).) If a holiday falls on a Sunday, for most Federal employees, the following Monday will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes. (See Section 3(a) of Executive Order 11582, February 11, 1971.)
