Perhaps I'm mis-reading your post, but I felt it necessary to point out that FedEx absolutely does deliver on Mondays.
fwiw TFA is about FexEd modifying their guarantees for delivery during the holiday period, but not by much (e.g. Express packages can be 90 minutes late from the commit time).
As others have mentioned, package carriers are strange beasts, mostly defined by their regulatory status. FedEx is an airline (really) while UPS is a trucking company. This has deep implications for all kinds of things. Years ago FedEx bought a "UPS-a-like" company and re-named it "FedEx Ground". This entity is regulated like UPS which is why you see different trucks delivering for FedEx in the same area (orange are "Real FedEx -- Express" while green are "UPS-FedEx -- Ground").
The Monday thing applies to a service called "FedEx Home Delivery" which afaik is a FedEx Ground service aimed at retail deliveries to residences. That service it appears does not deliver on Mondays. This has nothing to do with TFA.
from TFA: "The money-back guarantee for FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery services will be suspended temporarily for packages picked up on Monday, November 28, through Saturday, December 24, 2016."
