Hi,
If I had something shipped Via USPS Express Mail and Was shipped Saturday will it arrive Sunday?
I Recentely Ordered a M3T and They Said It should arrive Saturday or Monday.
I thought express mail takes 1 Day?
I also Read If delivers on Holidays and Sundays at no charge, is this true?
Thanks

You should check with your post office or the USPS web site and make sure that there is Express Mail service to the other end. In the U.S. there is Express Mail delivery every day, including holidays, except to businesses that are closed or do not accept mail delivery on the weekends and holidays.

Express mail usually just takes a day in the U.S. If they said that it should get there Saturday or Monday, maybe that meant that they would be mailing it on Friday or Sunday (maybe they're Jewish and observe the Sabbath?).

If you read then it must be true, but only if you're reading from the official sources. If you're getting the information from some other web site or off of a web forum, it may not be true at all.

My experience with USPS express -- they don't really guarantee any solid delivery dates over first class. Unlike UPS (but more expensive)

first class isnt that special

express mail is guaranteed to make it by a certain time, usually one day in the lower 48 and 2 days in Alaska and Hawaii or the sender will get a refund.

they ship 24/7 7 days a week even on holidays.

i hated working express

Express can be delivered on Sunday, but it will depend on if the sender checked the box marked "no delivery" on weekends or holidays.

The *one* time I used USPS Express Mail option, it took as long as a Priority Mail package. ...and sometimes First Class is as fast as Priority... go figure! :confused:

Plan on receiving the package on Monday.
