Many Amazon shoppers wonder: Does Amazon deliver on Sunday?
The short answer: Yes — in many areas, Amazon delivers on Sundays. But it depends on where you live, what you order, and which delivery service handles the shipment.
Here’s a complete guide to understanding Amazon Sunday delivery — including how it works, which orders are eligible, and how to check if your package will arrive on Sunday.
Does Amazon Deliver on Sunday?
Amazon began offering Sunday delivery in select cities several years ago. Since then, it has expanded the service across much of the U.S.
Today, millions of customers can receive Amazon packages on Sundays — not just Monday through Saturday. In fact, for Prime members and certain expedited orders, Sunday is now a common delivery day.
If your item and location qualify, you’ll see Sunday as a possible delivery date during checkout.
How Amazon Sunday Delivery Works
Amazon doesn’t operate Sunday delivery the same way everywhere.
In larger cities and suburbs, Amazon Logistics (Amazon’s in-house delivery network) handles many Sunday deliveries. If you see an Amazon-branded van or driver on a Sunday, that’s Amazon Logistics at work.
In other areas, Amazon partners with USPS (the U.S. Postal Service). On Sundays, USPS carriers often deliver only Amazon packages — not regular mail.
UPS may occasionally handle Sunday deliveries for certain items or locations, but this is less common than Amazon Logistics or USPS.
Which Orders Are Eligible for Sunday Delivery
Not all Amazon orders are eligible for Sunday delivery.
In general, here’s what qualifies:
- Amazon Prime orders with One-Day, Same-Day, or Two-Day delivery
- Items sold and shipped by Amazon (not just by third-party sellers)
- Orders placed early enough to meet the cutoff time for Sunday delivery
Some categories — like groceries (via Amazon Fresh), household items, or high-demand products — are more likely to be eligible.
Third-party sellers that ship their own products (FBM — Fulfilled by Merchant) typically do not offer Sunday delivery unless the item is shipped through Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA).
Who Delivers Amazon Packages on Sunday
If you’ve ever wondered who brings your Amazon box on a Sunday, here’s the answer:
In metro areas, it’s often an Amazon Logistics driver using an Amazon van or personal vehicle. These deliveries can happen throughout the day — even in the evening.
In rural or smaller markets, USPS often delivers Amazon packages on Sundays. These deliveries usually happen earlier in the day, as part of a special arrangement between Amazon and USPS.
UPS is sometimes used for Sunday delivery, though this varies by region and is less common overall.
How to Check If Sunday Delivery Is Available in Your Area
The easiest way to find out if Sunday delivery is available to you is to check as you shop.
Here’s how:
- Sign into your Amazon account.
- Make sure your shipping address is correct and updated.
- As you browse items, look at the delivery date options. If you see Sunday as a listed delivery date — it’s available for your area and that item.
Keep in mind that Sunday availability varies not only by ZIP code, but also by item and inventory.
If no Sunday option appears, it usually means either your location isn’t covered or the item can’t be delivered by then.
How to Know If Your Amazon Order Will Arrive on Sunday
Once you place an order, Amazon makes it easy to see whether Sunday delivery is scheduled.
To check:
- Go to Your Orders in your Amazon account.
- Look for the Expected Delivery Date listed on the order. If it says Sunday, your package is scheduled to arrive that day.
Amazon will also send email and app notifications when your order is out for delivery — including on Sundays.
You can also use Amazon order tracking to see updates in real time.
Is Sunday Delivery Free or Only for Prime Members?
Amazon Prime members enjoy Sunday delivery as part of their membership — for free, on eligible items.
Non-Prime customers may still receive Sunday delivery, but usually if they pay for expedited shipping (One-Day or Same-Day shipping). In those cases, an extra fee may apply depending on the item and shipping speed chosen.
Amazon clearly shows any delivery fees at checkout — you’ll know before you place the order whether Sunday delivery is included and whether it’s free.
Conclusion
Yes, Amazon delivers on Sundays — and it’s a great way to get your packages even faster.
If you see Sunday delivery available during checkout, you can count on Amazon to deliver that day. Just remember: availability depends on your location, item eligibility, and shipping option.
Now that you know how it works, you can better plan your orders and enjoy weekend delivery with Amazon.
