Is the usps delivering mail on saturdays
A question that's been on many people's minds!
As of 2020, the United States Postal Service (USPS) no longer delivers mail on Saturdays. This change was implemented on July 2, 2020, as part of the USPS's efforts to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Prior to this change, the USPS had been delivering mail on Saturdays for over 150 years. However, with declining mail volumes and increasing costs, the USPS decided to reduce its delivery schedule to five days a week (Monday to Friday).
While the USPS no longer delivers mail on Saturdays, it still provides some services on Saturdays, including:
- Package delivery: The USPS still delivers packages on Saturdays, as long as they are processed and shipped by the designated Saturday cutoff time.
- Retail services: Many post offices remain open on Saturdays, offering services such as purchasing stamps, sending packages, and accessing self-service kiosks.
- Mail collection: Mail collection boxes are still available on Saturdays, allowing customers to deposit mail and packages for pickup on the next business day.
It's worth noting that some private carriers, such as FedEx and UPS, may still deliver packages on Saturdays, depending on their services and delivery areas.
