When did the post office start delivering on Sunday?

[Fritz The Cat]

Was expecting a couple of packages from Amazon to be delivered today. Checked status this morning and it showed delivered yesterday. Sure enough they were on the front porch.

  Seven days a week if you want to pay for it.  For a long time!

We had a package delivered Sunday too... Seems it's a Holiday/busy area thing:

Same here...I seent the mail truck going through the hood and checked my box....Yep, got two bills to pay.

It has nothing to do with the Holidays the USPS got a contract with Amazon and in that contract Amazon requires they deliver all packages daily yes even Sunday's. They started it about two months ago. My wife is a postal carrier is how I know this.

And if someone delivered regular Mail someone goofed.

Ours was a package shipped without any special Sunday delivery options by my mother in law, NOT from Amazon, but shipped directly from her.

You know the G, once they change a policy, EVERYTHING has to be changed.

And seriously, if you're going to send carriers out on Sun, shouldn't they carry everything they can on that route?

If you guys would pay attention to the news other than the political BS you would know what's goin' on with the USPS and Sunday delivery.

Also Amazon has a deal with USPS, I am an Amazon prime member, as long as the package qualifies for prime, delivery's are 7 days a week. I have been getting packages on weekends for the last 7 months.

I got a package (not from amazon) a couple weeks ago on sunday. So apparently they just don't do this for amazon.

[Bighead]

They may have added all packages to the Sunday delivery but was started because of Amazon.

last Saturday night I was coming home here in Tomball, Texas and it was 9:30 at night and a US Postal Truck with flashing lights was going down my street delivering mail.........never seen that before.
