"Enlighten me on which carriers do not ship on saturday. Last time i checked they all ship on saturdays."
Shipping and delivery is two different things. I'm pretty sure trucks and cargo planes are on the move 24 hours/day to get to the destination facilities. For example, my OLNL order SHIPPED last Monday and it was scheduled to be DELIVERED on Friday.
I agree all carriers are SHIPPING on Saturdays, but for deliveries, I believe that's an extra option. Which explains why my package was given a second attempt this past Saturday, it being shipped FEDEX HOME DELIVERY, which is different from FEDEX GROUND Delivery. FEDEX GROUND does not get delivered on Saturdays, because they do not consider it a business day.
Here's UPS's info: UPS Ground packages are delivered to residential addresses Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., and to business addresses during their normal business hours Monday through Friday.
