Question about USPS

[RialCeLmiT]

I'll keep it cute and simple. Everyone and there grandmother knows that 99.9% of post offices are closed on Sundays and that mail isn't delivered via post office. My question is, If I have an order I say put out on Friday and shipped Saturday, does the package actually travel on sunday or does it just sit in a sorting facility somewhere? Anybody know, cause I'm awfully curious and impatient and I WANT MAH GOODS NOWWWW

Yep. Sorting and bulk mail centers are usually operating 24/7, and the USPS planes/trucks/railcars operate on Sundays as well, so don't worry -- your package is getting closer to your mailbox every hour.

I don't know the definitive answer, but I WILL say that I have a really bad habit of contantly checking the USPS website when I have tracking numbers I'm waiting for, even on Sundays. I have seen that Priority-shipped vapemail does actually tend to travel on Sundays. At least that's my assumption being that I have seen it update from being processed in a sorting center (or some such) to being delivered to my state's hub on a Sunday.

Haven't seen Sunday updates on First Class or Parcel Post items, but I have seen Priority get updated.

Good question. I think maybe they still sort and ship via air, but they just don't drop off the mail to post offices.

Sal? No, I am definitely not named Sal. And I'm not from Massachusetts -- born in Maine, living in exile.

Thats correct

I have a Sunday-afternoon routine that includes stopping at the post office to pick up the mail from my box. A couple of months ago, I was out late Saturday night, and decided to check for mail on my way home because I didn't know if I'd be out-and-about the next day. Sunday afternoon I was still a bit fuzzy and was on auto-pilot, which led me to my mailbox before I remembered I didn't have to. A package was in the box that positively hadn't been there twelve hours before.

So, even at small post offices, things can get done on Sundays.

I was mostly joking at first, but after I read your about me (didn't mean to creep) and studied the little white dog, I was almost convinced you were. Lol you are the spitting image of my girlfriends father, and that white dog is the spitting image of her Chihuahua. I thought it was funny though. Not that anyone cares about my personal life but I turned the guy onto e-cigs a couple months ago, then I had an argument with him like 2 days ago and he turned me to the cops saying I hit his daughter (A total lie btw) e.e...Now neither me nor my girlfriend will even walk on the same street as him

But thanks for the responses guys, you've eased my heart a little bit... Except for the Orange guy, I'm still terrified of his picture XD

Ditto. I had an order sent out on Friday (from NY). I got it Monday.
