Is FedEx running on Columbus Day?

Columbus Day — Indigenous Peoples' Day in many places — is a modified-service day for FedEx. Deliveries run on their scheduled dates; on-call and drop-box pickups run early in some areas.

It's one of the federal holidays where the country is genuinely split, and FedEx lands on the working side of it. The mail stops, most banks close, the stock market trades, and your package arrives. Because so much else is shut, a delivery to an office or a branch may reach a locked door — a residential address is the safer target that day.

FedEx hasn't published its 2027 holiday schedule yet — this page updates when it posts.
