Does mail pass on saturday
In the United States, the answer to this question depends on the type of mail and the postal service.
USPS (United States Postal Service)
The USPS typically does not deliver mail on Saturdays, except for Priority Mail Express and some special services. This is because the USPS has reduced its Saturday delivery service since 2013, as part of a cost-cutting measure.
However, some USPS locations may still offer limited services on Saturdays, such as:
- Priority Mail Express: This service is always available 365 days a year, including Saturdays.
- Package delivery: Some USPS locations may still deliver packages on Saturdays, but this is not guaranteed.
- Retail services: Some post offices may be open on Saturdays to provide retail services, such as buying stamps, sending packages, and accessing self-service kiosks.
Private Carriers
Private carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL may still deliver mail and packages on Saturdays, depending on their specific services and routes. These carriers often have different delivery schedules and may offer Saturday delivery options for an additional fee.
Other Countries
In other countries, the answer to this question may vary. Some postal services may deliver mail on Saturdays, while others may not. It's best to check with the local postal service or carrier to confirm their delivery schedule.
I hope this helps clarify things!
