  2. Special Events: During special events, such as holidays, natural disasters, or large-scale events, the USPS may offer temporary Saturday pickup services to accommodate increased mail volume.
  3. Rural Areas: In some rural areas, the USPS may offer Saturday pickup services for mail and packages, especially in areas with limited access to mail services during the week.
  4. Private Mailbox Services: Some private mailbox rental services, like UPS Store or Mailboxes Etc., may offer Saturday pickup services for their customers.
