Do they still deliver mail on saturday
In the United States, the answer is:
No, the United States Postal Service (USPS) no longer delivers mail on Saturdays. In 2013, the USPS announced that it would end Saturday delivery of mail, effective August 5, 2013. This change was made to reduce costs and adjust to the decline in mail volume due to the rise of electronic communication.
However, there are some exceptions:
- Priority Mail and Express Mail: These services still deliver on Saturdays, as they are considered time-sensitive and require faster delivery.
- Package Delivery: Private carriers like UPS and FedEx still deliver packages on Saturdays, as they are not subject to the same regulations as the USPS.
- Some Rural Areas: In some rural areas, the USPS may still deliver mail on Saturdays, as the volume of mail is lower and the cost savings from Saturday delivery may not be as significant.
It's worth noting that while the USPS no longer delivers mail on Saturdays, some banks, financial institutions, and government offices may still be open on Saturdays, so you may still be able to access these services on weekends.
