Does mail run on saturdays 2019
In the United States, the answer to this question depends on the type of mail and the postal service.
USPS (United States Postal Service)
In 2019, the USPS typically does not deliver mail on Saturdays, except for Priority Mail Express and certain packages. This is part of the USPS's cost-cutting efforts and a response to declining mail volumes.
However, some USPS locations may offer limited services on Saturdays, such as:
- Package delivery: Priority Mail Express and certain packages may still be delivered on Saturdays.
- 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 services and routes. These carriers often offer Saturday delivery options for an additional fee.
Special Services
Some special services, like USPS's Priority Mail and Parcel Post, may still be delivered on Saturdays, but this is not guaranteed.
Holiday Schedule
It's worth noting that the USPS and private carriers may have modified schedules on holidays, including Christmas, New Year's Day, and other federal holidays. In these cases, mail and package delivery may be delayed or suspended.
To confirm the delivery schedule for a specific location or service, I recommend checking with the USPS or the private carrier's website or customer service.
