From what I understand, FedEx runs Tuesday through Saturday as a norm, so yes, they deliver on weekends.

Thank you very much. I found their chart bit confusing than emailed them for a yes or no answer . Which they replied refer to the chart .

Thanks again

Ever think of calling fedex or like at their website? I am pretty sure that they do shipp ground on weekends because i sent a ground package to my little nephew and it arrived on a saturday. Also, unlike u.p.S. WHEN SHIPPING a ground package if you pay for ground service they have an aproximate shipping arrival date. say from washington dc to los angels is 5 days buy their "zone chart".If it arrives at the destination "hub" withen 3 or 4 days they will delivery it.I know for a fact that u.p.s. zone charts will say about the same time frame, BUT with ups if that chart says 5 days they hold it 5 days and do not deliver it untill that 5th day.That is the main reason that i tell my customers to use fedx.Bear in mind that with either nothing is garrenteed, "ground service" that is.The difference is that fedx will deliver if it is early while ups wont.Also fedx use "private contractors" for ground service so generally, while very hard workers, they dont have the same "workload" as ups drivers and besides fedx ground guys want people to use fedx ground and they seem to want to try harder to satisfy customers.
no i am not a fed x employee but i have been in customer service for 20 years and my insentive is not to have to listen to "squaking customers" ANY more then possible..check out fed x,s website and good luck and god bless..
