Severe winter weather systems and storm cleanup impacting operations
As severe winter weather systems, together with snow and ice cleanup, continue to impact major portions of the United States, the Postal Service (as with other national, regional, and local logistics service providers) is notifying customers that there may be delays in service due to the inclement weather and blocked or unsafe transportation routes.
Safety of the public and our employees is the top priority as we work to restore nationwide mail pickup, processing, transportation, and delivery, and resume regular retail hours at Post Offices, stations, and branches that may have temporarily closed due to weather conditions. Customers are requested, for the safety of our employees, to clear a path to access the mailbox.
Customers can track packages directly from the usps.com home page and check the status of local operations by following the “Service Disruptions” links below.
We thank our customers for their patience.
Service disruptions
Residential customers and small businesses can find out if mail is being delivered, or if their Post Offices are open. Business mailers get more detailed information about USPS mail processing facilities, and the operating status of delivery units, as well as any impacts on mail delivery overseas.
