Is regular mail delivered on sunday
In the United States, regular mail is not typically delivered on Sundays. The United States Postal Service (USPS) has a standard delivery schedule of Monday through Saturday, with the exception of holidays.
However, there are some exceptions and special circumstances where mail may be delivered on Sundays:
- Priority Mail Express: This service is guaranteed to be delivered by 12 pm on the next business day, including Sundays.
- Sunday delivery for packages: Some private carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, may offer Sunday delivery for packages, but this is not a standard service and may incur additional fees.
- Rural areas: In some rural areas, mail carriers may deliver mail on Sundays, especially in areas with limited access to mail services during the week.
- Special events: During special events, such as holidays or festivals, the USPS may offer extended hours or Sunday delivery to accommodate the increased volume of mail.
- Military bases: Some military bases may receive mail on Sundays, as part of their support services.
It's worth noting that the USPS has been exploring the possibility of expanding Sunday delivery in the future, but no official announcements have been made regarding widespread Sunday delivery.
