Is the Post Office open Easter Sunday?

Limited UPS store locations will remain open and UPS Express Critical will remain open.

UPS Express Critical provides a broad range of urgent transportation options ranging from lightweight to heavyweight shipments around the world.

Some United Parcel Service facilities will be closed, those being UPS Domestic Ground, Air and International, as well as their Forwarding (Air and Ocean).

Transport company FedEx will close some of their services on Easter Sunday 2022. FedEx Express, FedEx Freight, FedEx Ground and FedEx Ground Economy are all closed on this holiday.

However, FedEx Office will be working modified hours while FedEx Home Delivery, FedEx Custom Critical and FedEx Trade Networks will remain open.
