Managing weekend deliveries

Check your tracking. Most carriers show the expected delivery day. If it shows Monday but you want it sooner, check if the carrier offers a redirect to a collection point that's open on weekends.
Collection points. InPost lockers, Amazon Lockers, DPD Pickup Shops, and Evri ParcelShops are often open on Sundays, letting you collect even when the carrier doesn't deliver.
