Yes it is a federal holiday.
Just caught me off guard, I would not have even checked my mail today if I had not seen him making the rounds. It was regular mail he delivered to my house, including the usual junk mail.
Just regular mail. I will have to check my cameras to see if they mail truck came by Saturday. We did not get any mail Saturday, but no idea if that was because they had no mail to deliver to us or if they had no one to deliver it. I guess our route could have gotten skipped Saturday and today was a makeup run. That happened once before that I am aware of. A mailman came by at like 9 am, not our regular mail carrier and I commented he was early. He said it was because our route did not get run the day before, and that our regular mailman would be by later with that day's mail.
Do you have Informed Delivery? It isn't perfect, but it's accurate most of the time.
I do not. Several people in my local neighborhood Facebook group call it "Informed Frustration" because the accuracy is questionable. It shows a mix of stuff that has already been delivered, with items that did arrive that day, with items that may not show up for days.
Perhaps some reporting bias there. I recommend giving it a try. Although USPS does warn that items in ID may not arrive that day, I've found it overall very accurate.
It was not our regular mail man but he stopped at every mailbox on the street including mine and put mail in them. I got 6 pieces of mail, 3 legit items and 3 junk mails. If I had been quicker I would have flagged him down to ask. But it was regular mail delivery. I have seen them on a Sunday, usually going to just one house on the street. People next to me get everything delivered, since we put our cameras in, they start getting Amazon trucks coming by as early as 5 am.
Typically, already established neighborhoods with individual mailboxes are grandfathered. If a neighborhood had house mounted mailboxes when curbside ones were mandated, they also have been grandfathered.
