Is mail still delivered on saturday

In the United States, the answer is:

It depends on the location and the type of mail.

In the past, the United States Postal Service (USPS) delivered mail six days a week, including Saturdays. However, in 2006, the USPS began to phase out Saturday delivery for most mail, except for Priority Mail Express and certain packages.

Currently, the USPS delivers mail on Saturdays in some areas, but not all. Here's what you need to know:

1. Priority Mail Express: This service still delivers on Saturdays, as it always has.
2. First-Class Mail: In most areas, First-Class Mail (letters, bills, and other lightweight items) is no longer delivered on Saturdays. However, some rural areas and certain zip codes may still receive Saturday delivery.
3. Periodicals: Newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals are still delivered on Saturdays in most areas.
4. Packages: The USPS delivers packages on Saturdays, but only if they are sent via Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, or other expedited services.
5. Rural areas: In some rural areas, Saturday delivery may still be available for certain types of mail, such as First-Class Mail and packages.

To confirm whether mail is delivered on Saturdays in your area, you can:

• Check the USPS website: Visit usps.com and enter your zip code to see if Saturday delivery is available in your area.
• Contact your local post office: Give them a call or visit in person to ask about Saturday delivery options in your area.

Remember, even if Saturday delivery is not available, you can still use the USPS's online services, such as Click-N-Ship, to send packages and mail on Saturdays.
