Is UPS running on Memorial Day?

Closed
No — UPS doesn't pick up or deliver on Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is a UPS holiday: no pickup, no delivery, no drop-box collection. It's one of the most completely observed days on the calendar — mail, banks, markets, federal offices, and both major carriers are all off.
Because it always falls on a Monday, the effect is a long gap in the network. Nothing moves between Saturday's last pickup and Tuesday morning, and delivery dates in that window land on Tuesday or later. Express Critical runs.

When will my package arrive if it was due on Memorial Day?
The next business day, which is Tuesday. A UPS holiday pushes scheduled delivery dates back a day, and the tracking page shows the new date once the network restarts.
