Does us mail come on saturday
In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on Saturdays. However, there are some exceptions and changes that have occurred over the years:
- Before 2006: The USPS used to deliver mail on Saturdays, just like on weekdays.
- 2006-2020: In 2006, the USPS began to reduce its Saturday delivery to five days a week, with the exception of Priority Mail and Express Mail, which continued to be delivered on Saturdays.
- 2020-present: In August 2020, the USPS announced that it would suspend Saturday delivery of non-essential services, including regular mail, to reduce costs and improve efficiency. However, Priority Mail and Express Mail services continued to be delivered on Saturdays.
Current situation: As of 2022, the USPS still does not deliver regular mail on Saturdays, except for Priority Mail and Express Mail services. These services are still delivered on Saturdays, but regular mail, including first-class mail, periodicals, and packages, is not.
It's worth noting that some private carriers, like UPS and FedEx, may still deliver packages on Saturdays, depending on their services and agreements with customers.
If you're unsure about the delivery schedule for a specific package or mail item, you can always check with the sender or the USPS website for more information.
