How to read the answer
USPS delivers regular mail Monday through Saturday, except on its 11 postal holidays. UPS and FedEx run Monday through Friday, with Saturday residential deliveries in many areas, and close on fewer holidays than USPS. "Modified service" means the carrier is working but with early or limited pickups, so drop packages off earlier than usual.
