On Veterans Day, most banks are closed, but stock markets, Costco, FedEx, UPS, and many grocery and fast-food chains remain open. USPS locations are closed except for Priority Mail Express, and many retailers offer special discounts for veterans.
The U.S. Postal Service has announced that it will raise shipping prices for USPS Ground Advantage, Priority Mail, and Priority Mail Express services starting in January 2024. The price increases range from 5.4% to 5.9%. The Postal Service emphasizes that it offers upfront pricing without surcharges for residential and regular Saturday delivery, as well as no fuel surcharges. The USPS is also considering adjustments to prices for other services, such as post office box rentals and international mail.
