    Evening All,
    Despite a gaggle of trades I'm still not sure whether FedEx or UPS do home deliveries on Saturday. Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers,
    B

    I believe the bearded man with the stupid grin and dingy bathrobe is correct.

    FedEx Home (ground service to residential) runs Tues-Sat. I'm sure there are others that you can actually pay for a Saturday delivery

    FedEx will usually deliver Tu-Saturday, although with ground I have had them deliver on Monday's sometimes. UPS is Mon-Friday. I believe you can pay extra for Saturday deliveries with UPS.

    Fedex Home's standard workweek is Tuesday-Saturday. So you pay nothing more for Saturday delivery. You can get either Fedex non-home or UPS delivery on a Saturday, but you'll pay more for it.

    I just had a fedex employee tell me they don't do ground on Saturdays. They delivered on the following Monday.

    I've always had FedEx deliver to me on Saturdays. I think there may be a difference between ground and "home or residential address delivery" services though. They're both shipped strictly ground but when I've selected ground in the past and entered the address it comes up a residential address and switches the service.

    Fedex ground = no saturday delivery. Fedex Residential = yes Saturday delivery.
    Ground = designed for business, so Mon - Fri
    Residential = designed for home useage, so Tues - Sat
    residential delivery is just a tad bit more expensive, but totally worth it if you want it on Sat.
