The no-cost route
Ship ground in the back half of the week and let the calendar work. When the window closes on a weekend in a covered area, Home Delivery drops the box with nothing extra attached to the day.
Weekend delivery
Does FedEx do Sunday delivery?
For a home address in much of the country, yes — and the Sunday itself costs nothing beyond the ordinary label. FedEx Home Delivery, the residential ground service, makes rounds seven days a week, and fedex.com puts its Sunday reach at areas holding nearly two-thirds of the US population (read 2026-08-09). The catch sits elsewhere: no parcel service sells a Sunday, so the day a box lands falls out of the transit clock and the coverage map rather than anything picked at checkout.

Two services work Sundays
One is the ordinary residential ground label. The other is a courier run priced per job. Everything between them waits for Monday — or Saturday, for a fee.
Sunday, service by service
| Service | Built for | Sunday |
|---|---|---|
| FedEx Home Delivery | Ground parcels to residences | Runs Sundays in covered areas, usually finishing by 8 p.m., with no weekend fee on the label |
| FedEx Ground | Ground parcels to businesses | Does not run — commercial stops are worked Monday through Friday |
| First Overnight, Priority Overnight, Standard Overnight, 2Day | Time-definite express | Not offered — Saturday delivery exists as a paid option, and the week ends there |
| FedEx SameDay | Door-to-door courier work | Available, priced per job, with times that vary by location |
The two coverage numbers deserve a careful read. Saturday rounds reach over 98% of the US population; Sunday rounds reach areas holding nearly two-thirds of it. Both are population shares rather than address lists — a ZIP with dependable Saturday coverage can sit outside the Sunday map entirely, and nothing on the label warns the sender. The delivery estimate on a live quote for the exact destination is the only per-address signal you get before shipping.
A Sunday cannot be bought, only landed on
No parcel checkout anywhere carries a Sunday checkbox — not ours, not the carrier's own site. FedEx Home Delivery simply works the day: its own page states that deliveries are made every day of the week, so a Sunday arrival is what happens when a box's transit window closes on a day the destination's route runs (fedex.com, read 2026-08-09). The transit count and the delivery calendar are two different instruments — business-day counts skip weekends, yet weekend days still get worked at home addresses, which is how a ground box counted from Thursday into Monday sometimes rings the bell a day early.
The paid Saturday
The express tiers — First Overnight, Priority Overnight, Standard Overnight and 2Day — sell Saturday delivery for a fee. None of them sells a Sunday at any price, which makes Saturday the last day money can simply buy.
The courier Sunday
FedEx SameDay treats Sunday like any working day: a dedicated run, priced per shipment, scheduled around the pickup. It exists for the box where the date matters more than the invoice.
The Postal Service runs its own, different Sunday — a premium option on its fastest class rather than a free ground round. The two systems reward different plans, and our USPS Sunday guide walks that side of it.

Common questions
Does FedEx deliver on Sundays?
At home addresses in areas holding roughly two-thirds of the US population, yes. The service doing the work is FedEx Home Delivery, the residential ground product, and fedex.com states it delivers to most residential locations on Saturdays and Sundays (read 2026-08-09).
How much does FedEx Sunday delivery cost?
Nothing beyond the ordinary label. The fedex.com weekend page says Home Delivery adds no fees for Saturday or Sunday drops, so a box that lands on a Sunday prices the same as one landing on a Tuesday. FedEx SameDay is the exception, a courier product priced per job.
Can I pick Sunday as a delivery day at checkout?
No. Parcel services carry no Sunday option to buy anywhere; the arrival day falls out of the transit count and the destination's weekend coverage. The only weekend day money can attach to a label is Saturday, sold as a paid option on the express tiers.
Does FedEx Express deliver on Sundays?
It does not. First Overnight, Priority Overnight, Standard Overnight and 2Day top out at Saturday, and that Saturday carries a fee per fedex.com's weekend page, read 2026-08-09. A shipment that has to move on a Sunday is FedEx SameDay territory.
Does FedEx pick up packages on Sundays?
The weekend page says packages can be collected on Saturdays and Sundays through FedEx Home Delivery for eligible customers. Dropping off is often the simpler weekend move, and staffed FedEx locations post their weekend hours location by location.
