Packages from other delivery services could also be impacted. Most FedEx services are closed on Jan. 1. Most UPS services are also closed on Monday.
Banks
The Federal Reserve is observing New Year’s Day, which means most banks will be closed.
Banks are not required to close on federal holidays, but many do. Check your local branch before visiting.
Additionally, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will be closed.
Court and government offices
All federal offices will be closed. However, at the state government level, some may still be open.
Courts will likely be closed, too. Check with your local branch before visiting.
