Does mail pick up on sunday

In the United States, the answer to this question depends on the type of mail and the location.

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 areas with high volumes of mail, such as major cities or tourist destinations, may have Sunday delivery for certain types of mail, like packages or mail sent to post offices. But this is not a widespread practice.

Private Carriers

Private carriers like UPS and FedEx typically do not deliver on Sundays, except for certain packages that are sent to their hubs or distribution centers for pickup. These carriers may offer Sunday delivery for an additional fee, but this is not a standard service.

Special Services

There are some special services that may be available on Sundays, such as:

  1. Priority Mail Express: As mentioned earlier, this service is available 365 days a year, including Sundays.
  2. Package delivery: Some private carriers may offer Sunday delivery for packages sent to their hubs or distribution centers.
  3. Mail sent to post offices: As mentioned earlier, some areas may have Sunday delivery for mail sent to post offices.

In Summary

In general, the USPS does not deliver mail on Sundays, except for Priority Mail Express and certain packages sent to post offices. Private carriers like UPS and FedEx also do not deliver on Sundays, except for certain packages sent to their hubs or distribution centers. However, there may be special services available on Sundays, such as Priority Mail Express and package delivery to post offices.
