Does the post office send mail on saturday

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) used to deliver mail on Saturdays, but that changed in 2013.

Prior to July 2, 2013, the USPS delivered mail six days a week, including Saturdays. However, due to financial difficulties and declining mail volumes, the USPS announced that it would no longer deliver mail on Saturdays, effective July 2, 2013.

Under the new schedule, the USPS would still process and sort mail on Saturdays, but it would not deliver mail to customers. This change was intended to help the USPS reduce costs and improve efficiency.

However, in 2020, the USPS announced that it would restore Saturday delivery of mail and packages, effective August 30, 2020. This change was made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had led to a surge in online shopping and package delivery.

Today, the USPS delivers mail and packages on Saturdays, just like it did before the 2013 change. However, it's worth noting that some services, such as Priority Mail Express, are still not delivered on Sundays.

It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or the USPS website for any updates on delivery schedules and services in your area.
