Topic says it all, whether it be UPS, FedEx, or just the good old USPS, any of them work on sundays? I recently ordered something from [amazon.com](http://amazon.com), and was just curious at the email, in which the estimated mailing date was a sunday. Your answers appreciated. ---

USPS does it for express mail [http://www.usps.com/shipping/expressmail.htm](http://www.usps.com/shipping/expressmail.htm) ---

As **Joey P** ’s link says, the US Postal Service will deliver Express Mail 365 days a year (even Christmas Day!). What many people do not realize is that there are several Post Offices that are open for normal business on Sundays. I have frequently used the one in the basement of [Macy’s department store](http://mapsonus.switchboard.com/bin/maps-showpoi/usr=~3fcd2679.7fd5e.548a.7/c=2/refsrc=USPS/poi=zusps:21155) on Union Square in San Francisco (Post Office open 11am-5pm every Sunday). I believe that there are several Post Offices in the US (near major airports) that are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but can’t provide a cite right now. ---

Yes special delivery costs more but they deliver all days. Naperville and Chicago in Illinois have Sunday hours. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Antonius Block \* > \*\*I believe that there are several Post Offices in the US (near major airports) that are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but can’t provide a cite right now. \*\* The airport post office in Milwaukee is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 365 days a year. I use it quite often. It’s also really nice becuse if you take your mail there it get’s to it’s destination at least a day sooner. (If you take it within (this is a guess) a 50 mile radius it will get to the airport post office tomarrow, and then go from there). ---

Likewise, the post office near Los Angeles International Airport is open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, for all services. I actually applied for my passport there at 1:00am. (no lines!)
