Does first class mail deliver on saturday

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver First Class Mail on Saturdays, except for in certain areas.

Prior to 2013, the USPS delivered First Class Mail on Saturdays, but due to budget constraints and declining mail volumes, the service was reduced to Monday through Friday delivery.

However, in 2020, the USPS announced that it would resume Saturday delivery of First Class Mail in select areas, specifically:

1. Major cities: The USPS will continue to deliver First Class Mail on Saturdays in major cities, such as New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.
2. Rural areas: In some rural areas, the USPS may still deliver First Class Mail on Saturdays, depending on the specific route and volume of mail.

To confirm whether First Class Mail is delivered on Saturdays in your area, you can:

1. Check the USPS website: Visit the USPS website and enter your zip code to see if Saturday delivery is available in your area.
2. Contact your local post office: Reach out to your local post office or call the USPS customer service number (1-800-275-8777) to ask about Saturday delivery in your area.

Keep in mind that even if Saturday delivery is available in your area, it may not be guaranteed, and delivery times may vary.
