Why don't they have Saturday delivery? Is it just not profitable enough even if they charge an arm and a leg for it? Does it have to do with flight scheduals or what?

I just find it amazing in today's world that Saturday delivery (especially for an overnight package) is not available.

It's available. I've had shit delivered to my house from Germany on Thanksgiving day! I didn't arrange for the shipping though, so I have no idea how they went about it.

did you get it overnighted from friday expecting it saturday?

yea, theres saturday delivery... but it has to be specialized basically paying more for satuday delivery.. and alot of online stores and places dont do that, just ship it normally (standard overnight or 2day, 3day) and it'll skip saturday if the delivery method was 2 or 3 day, whatever...

this is why i always buy stuff on monday or sunday, it always gets to me by friday and i dont have to worry about the nonstandard delivery on saturday bs and having to wait the whole weekend for monday delivery.

flights go out sat morning (3-5am)carrying critical and saturday delivery shit, get to their destinations around 8-9am saturday, then get sorted and out for delivery.

The I guess that is the question then. Why don't more online places offer Sat delivery for an additional fee. Its not it costs THEM more.

That solves it then.
