When the Post Office is closed on a Monday, do you still print labels on Sunday evening?

Just to be clear, there's no delivery on Monday and the PO lobbies will be closed, but the mail will continue to move behind the scenes, so if you're able to fit your package in the lobby drop chute (after a provisional Acceptance scan at the Self-Service Kiosk, if you have one), it should be traveling by Tuesday. I dropped one off a few hours ago today (Sunday), it shows as Accepted now, and if previous history is any guide, it will be at the origin sort facility around this time tomorrow. I'll post an update when I see new tracking.

...you can get the Acceptance scan from the Self Service Kiosk machine in the PO lobby and, you are lucky that your local PO opened that lobby on Sunday and holidays...because of problem with homeless people, so many PO completely closed up their lobbies...notice that PO box renters can't even process their mailboxes during this closure times...

...btw, your package can get the scan but it probably is still sitting inside the outgoing package bin which at some PO it was locked up during closing time...until the outgoing pick-up trucks resume their working time as early as 3AM on Tuesday morning, or as later at 10AM depends on the vary of location to transfer them to USPS processing plant, there won't be any significant updates from the tracking system...

...USPS still open for delivery packages for Amazon (and sometimes Priority packages as well depends on the impact of high volume incoming parcels) on Sunday and Monday but no outgoing pick-up trucks...all the heavy, high volume mail that carriers have to deal on Tuesday is from Saturday processing for Sunday and Monday...

Something weird.

I don't know if this is just for my town or my state.

I get home package delivery on Sundays and federal holidays.

It must be a PACKAGE and it must be a DELIVERY.

If they deliver a package on a Sunday or a holiday they wont pick up any mail.

Does anyone else have this in their town?

Every time we have been in the lap of paradise, we thought everything was Hawaii time which has no relationship to actual time. The life.......still waiting on the warm weather you were to send us!

Are these Amazon packages or others? Awhile back, it was my understanding that the USPS and Amazon had some special agreement that Amazon packages would be delivered on Sundays.

The explanation in LA was that the USPS drivers were out delivering Amazon packages, contracted with Amazon on those days. Packages only. I don't know how that deal worked. I don't know if it's still like that, was years ago. But their trucks were out. USPS trucks paid to work on Sundays. I can't imagine that is still going on.

I get mail here on Sundays and the occasional holidays as well as packages. I don't know why, if it's the same reason or something different.

So some folks in some locations receive mail on Sundays and occasional holidays, but the rest of us poor slobs get ours on the usual six days a week? Would love to hear the USPS' explanation for that little perk.

I get packages delivered on ALL Sundays and ALL holidays.

The next time I speak to my mail carrier i'll ask her about it.

Strangely enough, I have an incoming priority parcel delivery that is listed as "Out For Delivery" today, 21 Feb. A little skeptical, but ya never know.

If it was scanned as Out For Delivery, you'll get it today. Once that scan is made, the carrier has 14 hours to deliver the item before alarm bells start going off in the system, and a "Delivery Status Not Updated" entry gets logged.

In our town, and apparently yours as well, carriers are free to make package deliveries on Sundays (or holidays) in order to lighten the load of deliveries that would otherwise be waiting for the next day to reopen.
