Does Mail travel on Sunday?
I ordered 3 day shipping on a package on Friday. I know that mail is not delivered on Sunday, but does it travel?
I'm specifically looking at USPS Ground from Austin, TX if that matters.

There is no such thing as USPS Ground. USPS is the post office. UPS, the guys in the brown trucks, does have Ground service and so does FedEx.
With USPS, mail is constantly on the move, from one place to another, 24/7/365.
Yes, mail travels day and night, including holidays. The several hundred Distribution Centers are always open, too, sending and receiving mail. Mail is carried by private contractors mostly, between Distribution Centers, airports and other postal facilities. I'm retired from USPS and worked most Sundays and holidays for many years, right up until I retired after 26 years. Your local post office is closed on Sunday but many of the larger ones are still staffed, getting ready for the next delivery day.
Either it does or it is held in a warehouse until it's shipped out.
