Does mail move on weekends

In the United States, the answer depends on the type of mail and the postal service.

USPS (United States Postal Service)

The USPS does not deliver mail on Sundays, except for Priority Mail Express and certain packages that are sent to post offices for pickup. This is because Sunday delivery is not a standard service for most mail types.

However, some USPS locations may offer limited Sunday hours for package pickup or drop-off, especially in urban areas. You can check with your local post office to see if they have Sunday hours.

Priority Mail Express

Priority Mail Express is the only mail service that is guaranteed to be delivered on Sundays. This service is available 365 days a year, including holidays and weekends.

Other mail services

For other mail services, such as First-Class Mail, Priority Mail, and Parcel Post, delivery typically occurs Monday through Saturday. These services may not be delivered on Sundays, but it's always best to check with your local post office or the USPS website for specific delivery times and schedules.

Private carriers

Private carriers like FedEx and UPS may offer Sunday delivery for an additional fee, depending on the service level and destination. You can check with these carriers for their Sunday delivery policies and fees.

In summary, while the USPS does not deliver most mail on Sundays, Priority Mail Express is an exception. Private carriers may offer Sunday delivery for an additional fee. It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or carrier for specific delivery times and schedules.
