One advantage of Express Mail is that USPS will deliver 365 days a year, including Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays at no additional charge to some locations. USPS competitors often charge for delivering on anything other than a business day. Unlike Priority Mail and First Class Mail, USPS does provide real-time tracking information online and by phone for Express Mail shipments.
A complaint about Express Mail is that USPS is notorious for delivering late.[4] Competitors guarantee overnight delivery by as early as 8:30AM. USPS does not guarantee the delivery time, and frequently requires more than one day to deliver.
