Overview
- USPS post offices will be closed and regular mail will not run, with only Priority Mail Express delivered and select self-service kiosks available.
- Most bank branches will be closed in line with the Federal Reserve holiday schedule, though ATMs and online banking remain accessible.
- UPS and FedEx will provide pickup and delivery, but UPS SurePost and UPS Mail Innovations will take an extra business day because USPS is off.
- Retailers are largely open with variable hours, U.S. stock markets will trade as usual, and the bond market will be closed.
- The government shutdown has led to cancellations of some Veterans Day events and wider federal disruptions, including FAA-driven flight reductions causing thousands of cancellations.
