Does mail run on sat

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on Saturdays, except for Priority Mail Express and some special services.

Prior to 2006, the USPS delivered mail six days a week, including Saturdays. However, in 2006, the USPS began to reduce its Saturday delivery to five days a week, with the exception of Priority Mail Express, which is still delivered on Saturdays.

There are some exceptions to this rule:

1. Priority Mail Express: As mentioned earlier, Priority Mail Express is still delivered on Saturdays.
2. Parcel Select: Some Parcel Select services, which are used for larger packages, may still be delivered on Saturdays.
3. Special services: Some special services, such as Certified Mail and Registered Mail, may still be delivered on Saturdays.
4. Rural areas: In some rural areas, mail may still be delivered on Saturdays, especially if there is no regular mail delivery on weekdays.

It's worth noting that while the USPS does not deliver mail on Saturdays, it may still be possible to drop off mail at a post office or mail carrier on a Saturday. Additionally, some private courier services, such as UPS and FedEx, may still deliver packages on Saturdays.
