Does FedEx Deliver on Sundays? The answer is yes. FedEx added Sunday delivery to its Home Delivery residential service back in 2020.
Furthermore, Sunday deliveries come at no extra cost.
In this guide, we will look at exactly how you can access FedEx Sunday delivery, which areas of the US it is available, and other important factors.
Let’s get to it.
FedEx Sunday Delivery
FedEx began offering Sunday deliveries of Home Delivery packages on January 22, 2020. This was in response to both USPS and UPS providing Sunday services for several years before that.
What sets FedEx apart from the competition, however, is that the Sunday delivery does not cost extra. FedEx has simply increased the delivery days of its Home Delivery residential service to 7 days a week.
In other words, deliveries are no longer delayed while customers wait for Monday for services to resume. Packages are delivered on Sundays just like any other business day.
