Overview

• Monday, Sept. 1 is a federal holiday, with federal and state offices, most banks, USPS post offices, and U.S. stock markets closed and no regular mail delivery.
• UPS will halt pickup and delivery on Labor Day and most FedEx services will pause, though each carrier’s critical same‑day options remain available.
• Most national retailers, groceries, and many restaurants will be open with location‑specific hours, while Costco will be closed and Sam’s Club will operate on limited hours.
• The TSA projected more than 17 million air travelers from Thursday through Wednesday, with Friday as the peak day and AAA citing Seattle, New York, and Orlando as top destinations.
• Local operations are shifting, including Sunday transit schedules and delayed trash pickup in some cities, and Arizona’s I‑17 flex lanes are open with no weekend closures to ease Phoenix‑area traffic.
