Is UPS running on Veterans Day?
UPS · Veterans Day
Open
Yes — UPS picks up and delivers on Veterans Day.
November 11 isn't on the UPS holiday list. Pickup and delivery run a full day, even though the post office is closed, most banks are closed, and federal offices take the day.
Ground Saver and Mail Innovations are the exception again: their final leg rides with USPS, so both take one extra day when the post office is shut. Veterans Day sits on the same date every year rather than a fixed weekday, so it often lands mid-week — and when November 11 falls on a weekend, the ordinary UPS pattern applies, with Saturday service in the areas that have it and no Sunday service.
