Is FedEx running on Black Friday?
FedEx · Black Friday
Varies
Yes — FedEx delivers the day after Thanksgiving, with pickups on a modified schedule.
Black Friday is a modified-service day, not a holiday. Deliveries run, which matters because the shipping year is at full tilt by then, and pickups run early in some areas.
The mismatch to watch is between packages coming in and packages going out. A return or a business shipment handed over late on Black Friday may not start moving until the next business day, because the drop box or the on-call pickup can be finished well before closing time. Morning is the dependable half of the day.
