Does USPS ship on weekends? If so how long?

Does USPS ship on weekend?

  • like today i packaged the item and gave it to usps. Do the ship on weekends?

  • Answer:

    Your package is on its way and will keep moving until it is delivered. There are Processing Plants all across the country like the one I work in. We are a 24/7/365 operation. Just about this time, 5 pm, the mail starts coming in from all of the associate POs in our service area, about 300. By Midnight, all of that mail will be dispatched, or held here for more working to our local destinations. No matter the time of day or time of year, there is mail processing going on every second. How else would we be able to deliver around 213 billion pieces of mail each year? In defference to one other answer here, USPS does NOT charge extra for Saturday Delivery. That would be UPS or FedEx. They also charge extra for fuel surcharges, residential deliveries to some areas and, believe it or not, hand off a lot of stuff to the USPS, and they pay us to deliver it because they don't want to go there.

Yes - they ship on weekends. I prefer shipping via USPS and like to use one of their Flat Rate Priority Mail Containers that you can get for FREE on their website.

Yes USPS ships on saturday and they will deliver on saturdays. The post office near me is open 24/7 and closed one day a year (Jan 1), but my local post office is the main one for New York City

I am sure they keep moving packages all weekend, however they charge extra to deliver on Saturday.
