If you’re reading this from Canada, Good Friday is a statutory holiday. Canada Post is closed. No mail, no packages, no nothing. Your letter will stay in its bin, dreaming of stamps. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, the Royal Mail takes Good Friday off. They’re serious about their bank holidays—so don’t expect a postman to show up with a smile and a letter from Hogwarts.
In Australia, it’s a wild card. Australia Post is closed in most states, but some post offices inside Woolworths or 7-Eleven might operate. It’s like a postal Easter egg hunt—you have to search to find one open. Honestly, it’s easier to just give up and use email for one day.
