Is there no mail on sunday

In the United States, the answer is yes, there is no regular mail delivery on Sundays. The United States Postal Service (USPS) does not deliver mail on Sundays, except for certain limited circumstances.

Historically, the USPS has not delivered mail on Sundays due to a combination of factors, including:

  1. Sunday laws: Many states and cities have laws prohibiting the delivery of mail on Sundays, which dates back to the early 19th century.
  2. Church attendance: In the past, Sundays were considered a day of rest and many people attended church services, making it difficult for mail carriers to deliver mail.
  3. Limited resources: The USPS has traditionally focused on delivering mail on weekdays, when most businesses and households are open and staffed.

However, there are some exceptions:

  1. Priority Mail Express: The USPS does deliver Priority Mail Express packages on Sundays, as long as they are sent through a designated Sunday delivery area.
  2. Parcel delivery: Some private courier services, like UPS and FedEx, may deliver packages on Sundays, but this is not a standard service offered by the USPS.
  3. Emergency situations: In rare cases, the USPS may deliver mail on Sundays in response to emergency situations, such as natural disasters or severe weather events.

It's worth noting that some private companies, like Amazon, have started offering Sunday delivery in certain areas, but this is not a standard service offered by the USPS.
