Does usps priority mail delivery on saturday

The United States Postal Service (USPS) does not deliver Priority Mail on Saturdays, except for certain circumstances. Here's what you need to know:

  1. Regular Priority Mail delivery: Priority Mail is typically delivered Monday through Friday, with the exception of federal holidays. This means that Priority Mail packages are not delivered on Saturdays.
  2. Priority Mail Express: Priority Mail Express, on the other hand, is a faster service that guarantees overnight delivery. Priority Mail Express is delivered 7 days a week, including Saturdays.
  3. Saturday delivery for Priority Mail: However, there are some exceptions where Priority Mail may be delivered on Saturdays:
    • In some areas, USPS may offer Saturday delivery for Priority Mail packages, especially in urban areas or for packages that require expedited delivery.
    • If you're shipping to a business or a residential address that is open on Saturdays, there's a higher likelihood that your Priority Mail package will be delivered on a Saturday.
    • Some USPS locations, like post offices or mail centers, may offer Saturday hours for package pickup or delivery.

To confirm Saturday delivery for your Priority Mail package, you can:

  1. Check the USPS website: Enter your package's tracking number or zip code to see if Saturday delivery is available for your area.
  2. Contact your local post office: Reach out to your local post office or mail center to ask about Saturday delivery options for Priority Mail packages.
  3. Use a shipping carrier that offers Saturday delivery: If you need guaranteed Saturday delivery, you may want to consider using a shipping carrier like UPS or FedEx, which offer Saturday delivery services.

Remember that Saturday delivery is not guaranteed for Priority Mail packages, and it's always best to check with your local post office or the USPS website for the most up-to-date information.
