  • Package Delivery: Some private carriers, like UPS and FedEx, may deliver packages on weekends, but this is not a standard USPS service.

Special Services:

• Some special services, like Priority Mail Express and Priority Mail Express Overnight, are available on weekends. These services are designed for time-sensitive packages and are typically more expensive than regular mail services.
• The USPS also offers some special services, like Sunday delivery for packages, in certain areas. However, this is not a standard service and may require additional fees.
