Yes, Amazon delivers on Saturdays and Sundays in most of the United States. It actually depends on your ZIP code, the carrier you're using to order, and the speed of your shipping option you've selected when ordering. It's everyone's job to get weekend orders out on time, including Amazon Logistics, USPS, and even UPS.
When an order is placed during the weekend, Prime members typically receive more uniform delivery times as these are usually part of their Two-Day, One-Day, or Same-Day shipping options, whereas non-Prime orders may be more dependent on the item and seller. This guide covers everything when Amazon makes deliveries on Saturdays and Sundays, when to expect your package, and what factors affect the time, so you know exactly when to plan to order items.
Yes, Amazon delivers on Saturday just as it does on every other day of the week. The majority of packages are transported through Amazon Logistics or USPS, though UPS is used for a smaller proportion in various regions. Rural areas may have a little wider delivery time, and fewer drivers on the road, while cities typically receive the best Saturday coverage due to increased delivery routes.
Amazon usually ships on Saturdays between 8 a.m. and 8 pm. Deliveries may be made later in the evening in busier areas or during the holidays.
Yes, Amazon delivers on Sundays as well, primarily by working with USPS and its own Amazon Logistics drivers (but it also does so with the USPS). In large cities and suburbs, delivery is usually made on Saturday or Sunday, although this service is often not offered in rural areas that are less established for the routes.
Typically, Sunday deliveries run from about 9 AM until 9 PM, but this may vary slightly depending on the area and how busy the delivery routes are on that particular day.

When choosing shipping options, you should consider Two-Day, One-Day, or Same-Day shipping, as they all have higher priority in Amazon's shipping system, which gives a better chance of being delivered on a weekend.
Standard size items are fast-moving within Amazon's network. Products that are too large, loads of freight, batteries, chemicals, and other hazardous materials are processed more slowly and are typically not delivered on weekends.
Products directly from Amazon have a higher chance of arriving on the weekend. When orders are placed by third party marketplace sellers, the time taken by the marketplace seller to process and pass on the order determines the time of shipment.
To make sure that your order is processed and sent for the weekend, you should place the order before the cutoff listed on the product's webpage. Once the order is received late, the delivery will typically be made the following business day.
