Facility mail room delays due to Federal Holidays.

Will Federal Holidays delay my order?

Will Federal Holidays delay my order? The answer is yes. Our fulfillment team does work on some holidays, but the Post Office does not. This means you will see delays in shipping and processing times due to Federal Holidays.

Facility mail rooms will NOT process or inspect any mail on Federal Holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays.  

Please see the list of Federal Holidays below:
