Observed Holidays for 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All of our branches will be closed<\/strong> to observe the listed holidays, unless specified. All branches will be open for holidays observed only in the US; however, expect minor delays for US and international shipments on those days. Clients can take advantage of branches with later operating hours, and Sunday hours leading up to the holiday. There may be processing delays for some shipments due to the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holiday hours at Chit Chats drop spot locations are determined by our drop spot partners. Be sure to check their locations pages to find out when they will be open. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
