"The Postal Service® will suspend regular mail delivery and retail service on Wednesday, December 5. USPS® will provide limited package delivery service on that day.
President Donald J. Trump has declared December 5 as a national day of mourning, calling on Americans to remember the vast contributions of former President George H.W. Bush.
To honor the life and legacy of President Bush, the Postal Service will observe the national day of mourning.
All Post Office® locations will be closed.
Regular mail will not be delivered.
Package delivery will be limited."

I was able to catch a postmaster still answering the phone just before 5 pm. She said that there will be no carriers rolling down the road, looking for flags up, and packages to be picked up. It is also very unlikely that there would be anyone processing carrier pickup requests.
So the assumption, unless specifically proven otherwise, is that no mail is moving on Wednesday. |

Does this mean they only delivered packages shipped Express Mail Next Day on Tuesday AND all Amazon packages? |

Amazon's relationship with USPS almost deserves it's own thread. Lot's I would like to say, but it always feels like I would be cluttering up other threads. |
