Can you get mail on the weekend

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on Sundays, except for certain exceptions. Here are some scenarios where you might receive mail on a weekend:

  1. Sunday delivery in some areas: The USPS offers Sunday delivery in select areas, usually in urban centers or areas with high demand. These areas are typically designated as "Sunday delivery zones." You can check with your local post office to see if Sunday delivery is available in your area.
  2. Priority Mail Express: This is the only USPS service that guarantees overnight delivery, including on Sundays. If you send a Priority Mail Express package, it will be delivered on the next business day, including Sundays.
  3. Package delivery: Private carriers like UPS and FedEx often deliver packages on Sundays, especially for businesses that require timely delivery.
  4. Special events or holidays: During special events, holidays, or peak shopping seasons, the USPS might offer extended hours or Sunday delivery to accommodate increased mail volume.
  5. Local post offices: Some local post offices might have extended hours or be open on Sundays, allowing you to pick up mail or packages during these times.

Keep in mind that these exceptions are not universal and may vary depending on your location and the type of mail or package you're sending or receiving. If you're unsure about weekend mail delivery in your area, it's always best to check with your local post office or the USPS website for more information.
