Overview

  • USPS retail locations are closed with no regular mail delivery, only Priority Mail Express runs, and self-service kiosks remain available.
  • Most bank branches are closed, U.S. stock exchanges are open for normal trading hours, and the bond market is closed.
  • UPS, FedEx and DHL are operating, though USPS-dependent services such as UPS SurePost and Mail Innovations face a one‑day delay.
  • Retailers, groceries and many restaurants are open, often with veterans’ discounts, while school schedules and municipal services vary by locality.
  • The shutdown has led to canceled or scaled-back Veterans Day ceremonies and has disrupted some federal services, with air travel seeing cancellations tied to reduced FAA staffing.
