USPS Saturday Delivery in Texas: A Texas-Sized Question
Does the USPS deliver on Saturdays in Texas? Well, it depends. As they say, everything is bigger in Texas, including the confusion about mail delivery on Saturdays.
The Short Answer: Sometimes
The USPS does deliver on Saturdays in Texas, but only for certain types of mail. Here's a breakdown:
- Priority Mail Express: This is the fastest and most expensive shipping option from the USPS. It is delivered on all days of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays.
- Priority Mail: This is a faster and more expensive shipping option than First-Class Mail. It is delivered on Saturdays, but not Sundays.

- Media Mail: This is a cheaper shipping option for books and other educational materials. It is delivered on Mondays through Fridays, but not Saturdays or Sundays.
The Long Answer: It's Complicated
Even if your mail is one of the types that is delivered on Saturdays, there are a few other factors that can affect whether or not you will receive your mail on Saturday:
- Your Zip Code: Some zip codes in Texas are not served by Saturday delivery. You can check your zip code on the USPS website to see if it is eligible for Saturday delivery.
- Your Mail Carrier: Even if your zip code is eligible for Saturday delivery, your mail carrier may not be delivering on Saturdays. This is especially true in rural areas.
- Holidays: If a Saturday falls on a holiday, the USPS will not deliver mail on that day.
So, What's the Bottom Line?
