USPS shipping Saturday

Does anyone ship OUT fish USPS priority or express on Saturday? With my local pickup times and my schedule, it would be easiest for me to ship out on Saturdays, but I'm finding conflicting info as to whether the package moves on Sundays or not. Will shipping on Saturday still have an arrival of Monday or Tuesday?

This is a bit outdated since I haven't used them for several years and there has been some recent changes at the post office but the main post office in boston (there is a name for this post office and it isn't main - but it was down by the harbor) did operate on sunday and this include receiving and sending mail - but of course they did not make home deliveries. I remember one specific instance where a package was set to arrive sunday and i was able to walk down there and pick it up. Having said this most of the post offices were closed on sunday and the ones that were open other than this one specific post office did not ship or sort packages but you could drop them off on sunday.

Hey I’m the guy that handles my local plants priority express mail that comes through. We hold any Live mail in the plant that arrives Saturday night until tonight (Sunday) for Monday morning dispatch and delivery. 

So it doesn't really move until Sunday night?

At least at my plant, yes. Otherwise it may end up stuck in a truck at a station until Monday morning dispatch. Your results by plant may differ so I can only speak anecdotally.
