Is USPS Delivery Available on Weekends?

Yes, USPS delivers on weekends. Saturday delivery runs for most mail classes, including Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, and First-Class. Sunday delivery is limited to Amazon packages and to Priority Mail Express in the major markets where USPS offers Sunday service for an additional fee.

Does USPS deliver on Saturday?

Yes. Saturday is a normal delivery day for USPS. Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, First-Class Mail, and Ground Advantage all move on Saturdays. Delivery windows can run later than a weekday, since carriers work around Saturday mail volume.

Does USPS deliver on Sunday?

Yes, but only for two things:

• Priority Mail Express, which USPS delivers on Sundays and holidays in many major markets for an additional fee. The money-back guarantee covers delivery within 1 to 3 days by 6 PM, not seven-day delivery everywhere. Since August 1, 2023, USPS no longer processes guaranteed-service refund requests for Priority Mail Express items addressed to or from Alaska or Hawaii, though it still processes loss claims.
• Amazon packages, in the metro areas where USPS runs Sunday routes for Amazon

Standard mail and regular Priority Mail do not deliver on Sundays.

What affects weekend delivery

A few factors change whether your package arrives on a weekend, and when:

• The mail class you paid for
• Your delivery area and how far it is from the destination facility
• Overall mail volume that weekend
