Deliver mail on saturdays
The age-old debate!
In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on Saturdays. However, there are some exceptions and special circumstances where mail may be delivered on Saturdays:
- Priority Mail: The USPS may deliver Priority Mail packages on Saturdays, especially during peak holiday seasons.
- Express Mail: Express Mail services, such as Express Mail Next Day and Express Mail 2-Day, may be delivered on Saturdays.
- Special Events: The USPS may deliver mail on Saturdays for special events, such as festivals, parades, or other community events.
- Rural Areas: In some rural areas, mail may be delivered on Saturdays due to the limited number of delivery routes and the need to ensure timely delivery.
- Private Carriers: Private mail carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, may deliver packages on Saturdays, but this is not a standard practice for the USPS.
It's worth noting that the USPS has been exploring ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency, which may include adjusting delivery schedules. In 2013, the USPS suspended Saturday delivery for first-class mail, but continued to deliver Priority Mail and Express Mail on Saturdays.
If you're concerned about receiving mail on Saturdays, you can contact your local post office or check the USPS website for more information on their delivery schedules and services.
