Your package is on its way and will keep moving until it is delivered. There are Processing Plants all across the country like the one I work in. We are a 24/7/365 operation. Just about this time, 5 pm, the mail starts coming in from all of the associate POs in our service area, about 300. By Midnight, all of that mail will be dispatched, or held here for more working to our local destinations. No matter the time of day or time of year, there is mail processing going on every second. How else would we be able to deliver around 213 billion pieces of mail each year? In defference to one other answer here, USPS does NOT charge extra for Saturday Delivery. That would be UPS or FedEx. They also charge extra for fuel surcharges, residential deliveries to some areas and, believe it or not, hand off a lot of stuff to the USPS, and they pay us to deliver it because they don’t want to go there.
