Does the mail run on sunday
In the United States, the answer is generally no, the mail does not run on Sundays. The United States Postal Service (USPS) is closed on Sundays, except for limited services in some areas.
The USPS is a federal agency, and as such, it follows federal holidays and observes Sundays as a day of rest. This means that most post offices, mail processing facilities, and delivery routes are closed on Sundays.
However, there are some exceptions:
- Priority Mail Express: This service is available 365 days a year, including Sundays. Priority Mail Express is a premium service that guarantees overnight delivery.
- Limited Sunday delivery: In some areas, the USPS may offer limited Sunday delivery for certain services, such as Priority Mail and Parcel Post. These services may be available in urban areas or for specific routes.
- Package delivery: Some private courier services, such as UPS and FedEx, may offer Sunday delivery for packages, but this is not a standard service and may incur additional fees.
It's always best to check with your local post office or the USPS website to confirm their Sunday hours and services in your area.
