Does us mail get delivered on saturdays

In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on Saturdays, except for Priority Mail Express and some special cases.

Prior to 2006, the USPS delivered mail six days a week, including Saturdays. However, in 2006, the USPS began to reduce its Saturday delivery to five days a week, except for Priority Mail Express, which is still delivered on Saturdays.

There are some exceptions to this rule:

1. Priority Mail Express: As mentioned earlier, Priority Mail Express is still delivered on Saturdays.
2. Package Delivery: The USPS may deliver packages on Saturdays, especially for online retailers and e-commerce companies that rely on Saturday delivery.
3. Special Events: The USPS may deliver mail on Saturdays for special events, such as holidays, elections, or natural disasters.
4. Rural Areas: In some rural areas, the USPS may still deliver mail on Saturdays, especially if there is no other mail delivery option available.

It's worth noting that the USPS has been exploring ways to improve its operations and reduce costs, which may include revising its Saturday delivery schedule in the future. However, as of now, the USPS does not typically deliver mail on Saturdays, except for the exceptions mentioned above.
