Is mail delivered on saturday in california

In the United States, including California, the United States Postal Service (USPS) typically does not deliver mail on Saturdays. However, there are some exceptions and variations depending on the location and type of mail.

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, with the exception of Priority Mail and Express Mail, which continued to be delivered on Saturdays.

In 2013, the USPS further reduced its Saturday delivery to only delivering mail and packages to post office boxes and to businesses that use the USPS for official business, such as banks and credit unions. This change was made to help the USPS reduce costs and improve efficiency.

In California, as in the rest of the country, the USPS does not typically deliver mail to residential addresses on Saturdays. However, some post offices may have extended hours on Saturdays, and some businesses may receive mail and packages on Saturdays.

It's worth noting that some private carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, may deliver packages on Saturdays, but this is not a standard practice and may vary depending on the location and type of delivery.

If you're unsure about mail delivery in your specific area, you can contact your local post office or the USPS customer service number at 1-800-275-8777 to confirm their delivery schedule.
