Does USPS deliver packages on Sunday?

Posted at: 2015-07-28 
I know they don't deliver mail but do they deliver packages that are expected to come on Sunday? Thank you

Express mail is delivered on Sunday along with anything that Amazon has contracted to have USPS deliver on Sunday.

In most cases no. No letters, no packages. However in some major cities this last Christmas season they did do Sunday parcel deliveries just to keep up with the volume.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) delivers mail pieces Monday through Saturday, excluding Sunday and holidays. USPS Priority Mail Express service is a one day or overnight service which offers Sunday or holiday delivery in many major United States markets for an additional fee.

If you are an Amazon.com customer residing in the Greater Los Angeles area or New York metropolitan areas, you already know you do not need Amazon Prime service to have an ordered item delivered on Sunday. This November 2013 Los Angeles Times news story describes the agreement between USPS and Amazon.com to begin at no extra charge delivery of Amazon.com packages on Sundays to customers in certain areas of the country.
