Is FedEx running on Memorial Day?

Memorial Day is one of the six full FedEx holidays. No trucks, no drop-box collection, no deliveries — FedEx Custom Critical runs, and nothing else does. The last Monday in May is one of the most completely observed days of the year: banks, the markets, and the mail all take it too.

For the long weekend, count backwards from Tuesday. A shipment that would normally land Monday lands Tuesday instead, and the Saturday before is the only weekend movement — FedEx Home Delivery runs Saturdays in most areas. If the arrival date matters, a Thursday hand-off beats a Friday-afternoon one.

Does FedEx deliver the Saturday before Memorial Day?

In most areas, yes — FedEx Home Delivery runs on Saturdays, and that Saturday is a normal service day. The closure is the Monday itself.
