### Veterans Day Postal Services Schedule Update

In recognition of Veterans Day, observed on Monday, various postal and delivery services will adjust their operations. Veterans Day, a federal holiday that honors military service members, influences the schedules of several delivery companies.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) includes Veterans Day as one of its 11 federal holidays. Consequently, USPS will not deliver mail, and post offices will remain closed. Normal operations are set to resume on Tuesday. DHL also falls in line with this policy by suspending operations on all public holidays, Veterans Day included.

United Parcel Service (UPS) offers a different approach. All UPS store branches will be operational, and scheduled deliveries will proceed as planned. However, services like UPS SurePost and Mail Innovations, which depend on USPS for final delivery, will face a one-day delay due to the USPS holiday.

FedEx will maintain regular store hours and delivery schedules. Yet, customers might experience delays in FedEx Express and FedEx Ground Economy services, attributed to the USPS closure. Amazon stands apart from the others by continuing its deliveries on Veterans Day, as it is not part of their seven observed holidays.

The USPS recognizes the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
