As Memorial Day approaches, you may be considering shipping packages or handling logistics that involve UPS, and it’s important to know whether their services are operational on this federal holiday.
Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, serves as a time to honor and remember those who have died in military service for the United States.
