Do Not Use USPS

[Misha'sgirl 44]

I did not wait to the last minute. I mailed on Saturday April 12th and was not due at USCIS until Wednesday the 16th. Should have been there in plenty on time. I didn't mail until the 12th because I was waiting for documents from lawyer.

On VJ somehow, someone, will find a way to make it "your fault". Those people are very bored.

You mailed it Sat... It WILL NOT go anywhere Sunday. USPS is closed. Overnight would mean at the earliest on Monday. If you mailed it after Sat pick up, it likely wasn't processed until Monday and then it should have been there Tuesday. Don't mail things on Sat. Lesson learned. You got the package for free, so, is what it is.

USPS mail is sorted, routed and moved even when the front office is closed.

USPS bulk mail transits 365 days a year, Sunday or not.

USPS will deliver on a Sunday and/or holiday for an additional fee.

Now, if a package was dropped off at a local office after its last pickup of the day, then sure, it likely sat there until the the next regularly scheduled pickup.

interesting... Did you work for USPS?

I never get mail on Sundays. I can't buy a car on Sundays. The USA is weird.

In Canada, you don't get mail on Sat or Sunday. Canada post simply doesn't work on the weekend. But you can buy a car unless a dealership specifically states they're closed. Sooooo... yeah.

Also interesting to note, Canada, a less religious country than the USA as a whole, celebrates Good Friday as a federal holiday. The USA celebrates neither Good Friday or Easter. I find that odd as well.

But here I am. In the USA. All because of love. Maybe I'm the weird one.

I worked at the Post Office part time. My ex-wife has been working at the Post Office for 24 years. I drove a U.S. Mail truck for a contractor for 5 years. I worked seven days a week. The mail moves at night. According to the PO the package sit in the processing center for two days. Still waiting for word from USCIS.
