USPS package tracking

USPS, the official postal service in the USA.

FedEx and UPS immediately compete with USPS Express Mail and package delivery couriers, doing nationwide deliveries of urgent letters and packages. Due to the USPS monopoly, other couriers in the USA are not allowed to deliver non-urgent letters and cannot ship to U.S. Mail boxes at residential and other business locations. Even so, the two competitors have transit agreements with the USPS in which an item can be dropped off with both FedEx or UPS who will then be in charge of the shipment to the final destination in which it will be transferred for delivery to the U.S. Mail location, which includes Post Office Box destinations. These couriers also provide packages delivery which are bigger and heavier than USPS will accept. DHL Express was the 3rd main USPS competitor right up until 2009, when the company decided to stop domestic delivery operations in the United States.

Delivery timing

In 1810, mail was delivered 7 days a week but in 1912, the situation changed and post offices and mail delivery was stopped on Sundays this for regular mail only. Nowadays, USPS Mail (with the exception of Express Mail) is not delivered on Sunday.

After budget restrictions, Saturday delivery was temporarily suspended in April 1957, but finally restored. In 2013 USPS announced that standard mail delivery service would be done up to 5 days a week, which was reversed by Congress

Most of people are asking: does mail come on Saturday? Does the post office deliver on Saturday? Is USPS open on Saturday? Or about the USPS business hours on Saturday. This question depends on two factors, the geographic location of the recipient (zip code, states) and the product chosen by the sender.

So yes USPS does delivers mail on Saturdays. The Saturday delivery depends on the mail class. USPS delivers only Priority Mail Express and Priority Mail package on Saturday for now__

The delivery hours and delivery time on Saturdays depend essentially on the location of the warehouse, if the package is “out for delivery” it should be delivered the same day.

Please kindly check with the seller the mail product chosen for your order and always ask for a tracking number.

What is the cost of delivery of the package on Sunday?

However some marketplaces offer this service like Amazon with USPS priority mail. Check it out when ordering to be sure to have your package delivered at the right time! Does a 2-day delivery, take into account the weekend?

Will it be delivered on Sunday if shiped on Friday?

The delivery time depends on the location of the recipient. For some areas within the US, Priority Mail service can take up to 3 business days, the Priority Mail Express product will offer a faster delivery in a day so if your choose this option when you ordered on Amazon, your package should arrive in the weekend, including Sundays.

Nowadays, USPS mail is delivered daily to the door of all business addresses and private residence (Mail boxes clusters, commercial areas) In significantly less densely populated regions, USPS is starting to optimize the cost of delivery by reducing direct delivery in favor of pickup point or mutualized mailbox.
