How late can my mail be delivered?

Mail can arrive as late as 8 p.m., including your First-Class (or “regular”) mail, but especially packages, if they aren’t delivered with your First-Class packages. What is this? While the USPS defines its delivery hours as 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., it is well known that a number of causes may delay delivery until 8 p.m.

Does USPS Deliver past 5pm?

USPS Typically Stops Delivering No Later Than 5 pm Local Time. The fact that USPS is technically supposed to stop delivering at 5 pm may come as a surprise to you.

What does Expected delivery by 8PM mean?

If a package is delivered after 8pm, the postal service considers it a failure. With that being said, there are some special circumstances in which your mail and/or packages might get delivered at/after 8PM. A typical workday is 8am-4:30pm. Mail and parcel volume is not the same everyday.

Why is my mail so late?

The simple answer: Your mail may slow down because the Postal Service lengthened its “service standards,” or the amount of time it says it should take for a piece of mail to get delivered. And how much slower it will get depends on where you live.

Can I track where my mailman is?

Does USPS deliver at 9pm?
