No USPS Saturday Delivery? Packages YES
Category : eBay , Etsy , Selling Online , Shipping Internationally
Today the United States Post Office (USPS) announced that starting in August 2013 that there will be no Saturday delivery of mail to homes and businesses. Â Don’t get scared if you are an online buyer or seller. Â There is great news for all of you. Â There will be Saturday delivery of all packages, first class, parcel and priority. Â
So if you sell online, the news is really not a change if you send packages. If you ship a package and it is supposed to arrive on Saturday… it will. Â There will be no delivery of first class letters, junk mail etc. Â
Post offices that are open now will continue to be open and you can send any type of mail on Saturday. Â Will there be Pick Up for Priority on Saturdays at your home or business? Â That is to be determined. Â However, if you have packages ready to go and you see a carrier or your carrier delivers to you, they should take the packages for you. Â You can still go to your local post office and drop off all mail. Â
This is good news for carriers locally where I live as the full timers will not have to rotate and work different schedules. They will work Monday – Friday and the lighter Saturday delivery will be done by the sub route carriers. Â So….. no complaints anyone… if you send packages there is no change to you… it could have been much much worse. Â Â
