Today, I was messed around with the post office, which was a bit of a head-scratcher for me. So, I figured I’d jot down the whole thing to sort of figure it out for myself and maybe help someone else out in the process.
I started off thinking about sending some mail. It was a Sunday, and I was like, “Wait, does mail even go out on Sundays?”
I did a quick search online. Some folks said, “Yeah, the post office delivers on Sundays, but it is limited.” I saw things about “Priority Mail Express” and some “Amazon packages.” I was like okay, got it, maybe there is some delivery on Sunday.
Then, I dove a bit deeper. Found out that traditionally, nobody worked on Sundays. I mean, that makes sense, right? But then, another piece of info popped up – they do process and move mail through the system on Sunday. I guess because not everyone’s off on Sunday. It’s all a bit confusing.
So, I decided to just go for it. I prepared my mail, not really expecting much to happen. Then I remembered reading about something called “USPS overnight.” That sounded promising. I checked if it was available for Sunday. Lo and behold, it was an option!
I filled out all the forms, paid extra for this “USPS overnight” thing, and sent my mail. Honestly, I was still skeptical. I mean, it’s Sunday, right? But I did notice a lot of movement and processing even on Sundays.

Next day, I tracked my mail, half expecting it to be stuck somewhere. But surprise, surprise! It was actually moving! It seems like they really do process and move mail on Sundays, even if they don’t deliver to every address.
Key Takeaways
- I found out that regular mail doesn’t go out on Sundays.
- I learned about “Priority Mail Express” and “USPS overnight” for urgent stuff.
- I realized that while home delivery is rare, mail is actually being processed and moved on Sundays.
So, there you have it. My little adventure with Sunday mail. It’s not as straightforward as I thought, but hey, I learned a few things along the way. Hopefully, this helps someone else out there who’s scratching their head about sending mail on a Sunday.
