What time does mail delivery start
The time of mail delivery can vary depending on the location and the type of mail being delivered. Here are some general guidelines:
United States Postal Service (USPS)

- In some areas, mail delivery may start as early as 7:00 AM or as late as 11:00 AM.
- USPS does not deliver mail on Sundays, except for Priority Mail Express and some special cases.
Rural Mail Delivery
- In rural areas, mail delivery may start earlier, often around 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday.
- Rural mail carriers may also deliver mail on Saturdays, but this is not always the case.
City and Urban Areas
- In urban areas, mail delivery may start later, often around 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, Monday through Saturday.
- City mail carriers may also have more complex routes and may deliver mail later in the day.
Special Delivery
- Priority Mail Express, which is a guaranteed overnight delivery service, is typically delivered by 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
- Same-day delivery services, such as USPS Same-Day Delivery, may have different delivery times, usually between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
