I see some people here have ruled monday, tuesday and wednesday the best day to ship. lol there not!
saturday is the best day to ship.
the post is still running on sunday so mail goes through alittle faster than any other day.
i ship on saturday often and its 1 day faster 85% of the time.
usually the box is at its destination on monday!

my grandfather worked for usps for 20 years and told me the same thing!
so if your shipping fish saturday is the day!
just making an observation, not april fools joke.

I have had similar experiences. Problem here is teh post office is only open until 10 am on saturdays, hard to get boxes prepped in time.

It's not the case for here in the Northern parts. I sent a package on Saturday thinking it would move on Sunday and get to my mom Monday...she got it THURSDAY and it contained live fish. I will never ship on Saturday again!

i think it was just a packed sunday with too many packages. maybe so many people are catching on that it doesn't apply anymore

Agreed...one package is not enough to establish a data trend.

I haven't had much luck with Saturdays either.. not to mention the post office here has about 5x the number of customers on Saturdays than weekdays..
