Does a package still travel on Sunday even though the USPS doesn't Deliver on Sunday?

Question

Does a package still travel on Sunday even though the USPS doesn't Deliver on Sunday?

Let's say I bought something off ebay and it's shipped. Is it still traveling on the Sunday?

Please and thanks,

Answer 1

Mail processing takes place at USPS facilities 24/7/365. In fact, I worked an overtime day today, Sunday, from 1400-1230 hrs. Mail is always moving. With no delivery on Sunday, that is why a Monday tends to be a busier day for delivery as it is practically 2 days worth of mail.

Answer 2

If UPS moves the packages at all on Sunday they might as well deliver them as well, but they don't. So that would not make too much sense.

Sorry to say that no, it will not travel on Sunday.  Just spend a day sitting wherever it is at, and resume course on Monday.

Answer 3

That's a good question, I've always wondered that myself. But I don't think that it does. The packages probably sit at the post office or on the truck waiting to be delivered.
