Sunday Delivery Policy Explained
Many people waiting for a parcel ask whether it will come on Sunday. For Call Courier, which is now part of PostEx, the answer is no: riders do not deliver to homes or offices on Sundays.
If tracking shows your parcel reached the local branch on Saturday evening or Sunday, it will wait there safely until Monday, when riders go out again.
Saturday Deliveries
Saturday is a normal delivery day. Keep these points in mind:
Rider Delivery Window
Riders deliver on Saturdays as on other working days. We could not confirm exact times, so keep your phone on during the day to take the rider’s call.
Retail Branch Booking Hours
Ask your branch about sending parcels on Saturday and any cut-off time.
What Happens at the Weekend
Riders do not deliver on Sundays, but the network keeps working.
Call Courier says its regional hubs and trucks between cities keep working through the weekend, getting parcels ready for Monday deliveries.
So a parcel booked on Friday or Saturday may move closer to you over the weekend and be ready for delivery on Monday.
Public Holidays and Eid
Deliveries stop on official government holidays, including:
- Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha: No deliveries during the official Eid holidays. Deliveries start again after the holiday.
- National Holidays: No deliveries on gazetted national holidays, such as Pakistan Day (23 March) and Independence Day (14 August).
- Religious Observances: Check whether other gazetted religious holidays affect your delivery.
Many more parcels are sent before Eid. Send items early, well before the holidays, to avoid delays.
If You Need a Parcel Urgently at the Weekend
If you are waiting for something urgent near the weekend, these tips help:
Ask the Sender to Book Early
If the sender books early in the week, the parcel has a better chance of arriving before Sunday.
Call the Helpline
If tracking shows the parcel reached your local branch on Saturday, call the helpline on (042) 111-786-227 and ask about delivery.
Be Ready on Monday
If the parcel reaches the branch late on Saturday or on Sunday, make sure someone is home on Monday to receive it and pay if it is a COD parcel.
