Yes, FedEx delivers some packages on Sunday.
The main Sunday delivery option is FedEx Home Delivery, which delivers eligible residential shipments seven days a week. Sunday service reaches nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population. It does not cover every ZIP code, shipment, or FedEx service.
Your package’s service type, destination, scheduled delivery date, holiday schedule, and local operating conditions determine whether it will arrive on Sunday.

Which FedEx Services Deliver on Sunday?
FedEx does not use one weekend schedule for every service.
| FedEx service | Standard Sunday delivery | Main destination | Key details |
|---|---|---|---|
| FedEx Home Delivery | Yes, in eligible areas | Residential addresses | Reaches nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population on Sunday |
| FedEx Ground | Generally no | Businesses and commercial addresses | Standard delivery normally runs Monday through Friday |
| FedEx SameDay | Available in supported areas | Residential and commercial addresses | Delivery times and prices vary by location |
| FedEx First Overnight | Not listed as a standard Sunday service | Residential and commercial addresses | Saturday service may be available |
| FedEx Priority Overnight | Not listed as a standard Sunday service | Residential and commercial addresses | Saturday service may be available |
| FedEx Standard Overnight | Not listed as a standard Sunday service | Residential and commercial addresses | Saturday service may be available |
| FedEx 2Day | Not listed as a standard Sunday service | Residential and commercial addresses | Saturday service may be available |
FedEx’s weekend service page lists FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx Same Day as Sunday delivery options. Its overnight and two-day services are listed with Saturday delivery rather than standard Sunday delivery. View the official FedEx weekend delivery guide.
Does FedEx Home Delivery Deliver on Sunday?
FedEx Home Delivery delivers eligible residential packages on Sunday.
The service provides delivery every day of the week. FedEx states that it reaches more than 98% of the U.S. population on Saturday and nearly two-thirds on Sunday.
Sunday delivery is not guaranteed for every shipment.
- The destination ZIP code
- The origin of the shipment
- The shipping date
- The package’s selected service
- The estimated transit time
- Holiday closures
- Weather and network disruptions
- Delivery restrictions selected by the shipper
In the contiguous United States, FedEx Home Delivery normally has a transit time of one to five days. Shipments to or from Alaska and Hawaii generally take three to seven days. The calculated transit time determines the scheduled day.
You do not normally select Sunday as an automatic delivery upgrade. FedEx calculates whether Sunday falls within the shipment’s delivery schedule.
Does FedEx Ground Deliver on Sunday?
Standard FedEx Ground service is designed mainly for deliveries to businesses and commercial locations.
FedEx states that Ground delivers packages weighing up to 150 pounds to businesses or commercial areas Monday through Friday. Residential ground deliveries use FedEx Home Delivery, which can operate on Saturday and Sunday.
The destination classification matters.
A residential package should use the residential delivery service associated with the address. Do not mark a commercial address as residential merely to seek weekend delivery. Incorrect address information can affect the rate, delivery estimate, and handling of the shipment.
Does FedEx Express Deliver on Sunday?
Most standard FedEx overnight and two-day services do not list routine Sunday delivery.
FedEx’s current weekend service guide lists Saturday delivery for:
- FedEx First Overnight
- FedEx Priority Overnight
- FedEx Standard Overnight
- FedEx 2Day
FedEx SameDay can provide Saturday and Sunday delivery in supported locations. Delivery times and fees depend on the shipment and location. FedEx also describes SameDay services as available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Check the rate and transit-time tool before selecting a premium service. Do not assume that an overnight label automatically includes Sunday delivery.
How Can You Tell Whether Your Package Will Arrive on Sunday?
The scheduled delivery date in FedEx tracking is more useful than a general weekend schedule.
1. Check the Tracking Number
Enter the tracking number on the FedEx website or mobile app.
Look for:
- The scheduled delivery date
- An estimated delivery window
- The current shipment location
- Delivery exceptions
- Signature requirements
- Weather or operational delays
A package moving through a FedEx facility on Sunday is not proof that it will be delivered that day. The scheduled delivery date provides the clearest answer.
2. Confirm the Shipping Service
Look at the shipment details to determine whether the package uses FedEx Home Delivery, Ground, SameDay, or another FedEx service.
A residential destination alone does not guarantee Sunday delivery. The shipper must also use an eligible service.
3. Check the Destination
Sunday Home Delivery does not reach every U.S. address.
FedEx states that Sunday service reaches nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population. Coverage can change, so check the transit time for the exact origin and destination rather than relying on a state-level answer.
4. Use FedEx Delivery Manager
FedEx Delivery Manager provides tracking alerts and delivery-management options for eligible residential packages.
Available options may include:
- Delivery notifications
- Delivery instructions
- A vacation hold
- Redirecting a package to a participating pickup location
- Requesting another eligible delivery option
Some shippers restrict delivery changes. FedEx only displays options available for the specific package.
5. Check Holiday and Service Alerts
A Sunday delivery schedule can change during holidays, severe weather, local emergencies, and network disruptions.
Review the FedEx holiday schedule and service alerts before depending on a Sunday delivery.
What Time Does FedEx Deliver on Sunday?
FedEx Home Delivery packages typically arrive by 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
That time is not a guarantee for every package.
FedEx also states that there are no single official delivery hours for every Home Delivery shipment because timing depends on the package and destination. Tracking may provide a more specific estimated delivery window.
Your package may arrive earlier or later than expected because of:
- Route volume
- Traffic
- Weather
- Distance between stops
- Signature attempts
- Address problems
- Operational delays
Do not assume a package has been delayed merely because it has not arrived by the afternoon. Continue checking the tracking status.
Do You Have to Be Home for a Sunday Delivery?
You only need to be present when the shipment requires a signature or FedEx cannot leave it safely.
The tracking page should show whether the package requires:
- An indirect signature
- A direct signature
- An adult signature
When an eligible package cannot be delivered, you may be able to request that it be held at a participating FedEx location.
FedEx Hold at Location allows eligible packages to be redirected to locations such as FedEx Office, Walgreens, and other participating retailers. The recipient receives a notification when the package is ready. A government-issued ID or other required documentation may be needed for pickup.
Does FedEx Pick Up Packages on Sunday?
FedEx offers weekend pickup options, but Sunday pickup is not available to every customer or at every location.
FedEx states that eligible shippers may use FedEx Home Delivery for Saturday and Sunday pickup. Other premium services may have different weekend pickup options and fees.
Confirm Sunday pickup availability through the shipping tool or your FedEx account.
Dropping a package at a retail location on Sunday does not always mean FedEx will move it that day. Each location has a last pickup time. Packages dropped off after that time normally begin moving on the next available operating day.
Is FedEx Office Open on Sunday?
Some FedEx Office locations and participating retail partners open on Sunday. Others close or operate reduced hours.
There is no reliable national Sunday schedule for all locations.
Hours depend on:
- The location
- The type of retail partner
- Local operating policies
- Holiday schedules
- Available services
- Daily pickup times
Use the FedEx location finder to check the address, Sunday hours, services, and last pickup time before visiting.
A store being open does not guarantee that a package dropped off there will depart on Sunday.
Does FedEx Deliver on Sunday During Holidays?
A normal Sunday schedule does not override the FedEx holiday schedule.
For example, FedEx’s 2026 operations schedule listed the following Sunday dates:
| Date | Holiday | FedEx status |
|---|---|---|
| April 5, 2026 | Easter Sunday | Closed |
| May 10, 2026 | Mother’s Day | Open |
| June 21, 2026 | Father’s Day | Open |
FedEx Office and specialized FedEx services may follow different schedules on the same holiday. FedEx also states that planned operating schedules can change as the holiday approaches.
Check the PostScan Mail FedEx holiday schedule guide and the official FedEx schedule before planning a holiday shipment.
Is There an Extra Charge for Sunday Delivery?
FedEx Home Delivery does not add a separate fee solely because an eligible package arrives on Saturday or Sunday.
Other charges can still apply, including:
- The standard shipping rate
- Residential delivery surcharges
- Delivery-area surcharges
- Oversize or additional-handling charges
- Signature-service fees
- Address-correction charges
- Premium or expedited-service fees
FedEx SameDay and other time-sensitive weekend services use different pricing. Request a current rate for the exact origin, destination, package, and service.
Why Did FedEx Change My Sunday Delivery Date?
A scheduled Sunday delivery can move to another day.
Common reasons include:
- Severe weather
- High package volume
- An incorrect or incomplete address
- A missed delivery attempt
- A required signature
- Damage to the shipping label
- A service disruption
- A shipper restriction
- A holiday closure
- A package arriving after a local processing cutoff
Check the tracking history for a delivery exception. Contact FedEx when the status has not changed or the package has passed its updated scheduled date.
How Businesses Can Plan for Sunday Deliveries
Weekend delivery can shorten the time customers wait for residential orders. It still requires accurate service selection.
Use these practices:
- Confirm that the destination is residential.
- Check Sunday eligibility for the exact ZIP code.
- Use the delivery date calculated by FedEx.
- Avoid promising Sunday delivery before tracking confirms it.
- Tell customers when a signature may be required.
- Check holiday closures before publishing order deadlines.
- Explain that weather and operational conditions can change the date.
- Review the final shipping rate instead of assuming weekend service is free.
The absence of a separate Sunday Home Delivery fee does not mean the entire shipment has no delivery surcharges.
Managing FedEx Packages With PostScan Mail
PostScan Mail is a virtual mailbox and package-management platform. It does not operate FedEx delivery routes or control FedEx delivery dates.
After you choose an available mailing address and complete the required setup, supported packages delivered to that location can be added to your online mailbox. You can then review the package and request available actions.
Depending on your plan and location, options can include:
- Package forwarding
- Storage
- Package consolidation
- Recycling
- Local pickup
PostScan Mail’s package forwarding service can send an arrived package to another domestic or international address. Available carriers, fees, storage limits, package sizes, and handling services vary by plan and location.
Before sending a FedEx package to a PostScan Mail address, confirm that the selected location accepts the carrier and package type.

The Bottom Line on Sunday Delivery
FedEx delivers on Sunday through FedEx Home Delivery in eligible residential areas. Sunday coverage reaches nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population, but delivery is not available for every service, package, or ZIP code.
Check the tracking page, service type, destination, and holiday schedule before relying on a Sunday arrival. For packages received through PostScan Mail, review the selected location’s acceptance rules and submit forwarding or pickup requests based on the services available to your account.
