Severe weather, such as blizzards, hurricanes, or floods, can delay mail delivery. The USPS prioritizes the safety of its employees, and in extreme conditions, delivery may be suspended.

Local Issues

Local events or unforeseen circumstances, like road closures or community emergencies, can also cause delays.

Weekends

Keep in mind that standard mail is not delivered on Sundays. Priority Mail Express is still delivered on Sundays and holidays in most areas.
