Is FedEx running on Presidents Day?

Presidents Day sits with MLK Day in the modified-service group. Deliveries run on their scheduled dates, and on-call and drop-box pickups run early in some areas. FedEx doesn't take the day off.

It's a fine day to receive and an awkward day to ship. Banks and federal offices are closed, so a delivery to a business address may reach a locked door — worth a thought if the package needs a signature. Going the other direction, the early pickup is the thing to plan around; the cutoff can differ from one drop box to the next a few blocks away.
