Mercado Livre Brazil Expands Same-Day Delivery to Sundays, Now Nationwide

[Ebrun Original] On June 20, it was announced that Latin American e-commerce platform Mercado Livre has expanded its same-day delivery service in Brazil to include Sunday deliveries, effective from June 14. This move enables 7-day-a-week, non-stop operations, and the service now covers cities in all regions across Brazil. This means consumers can place orders and receive their goods on the same day even on Sundays, significantly broadening the shopping time window.

According to company data, in the first quarter of 2026, 76% of Mercado Livre's orders in Brazil were delivered within 48 hours, providing the operational foundation for this service extension.

Frederico Rezeck, Vice President of Transportation at Mercado Livre, stated that expanding same-day delivery to Sundays is another step in solidifying the company's logistics leadership in Brazil.

He also mentioned that the company's announced investment of 57 billion Brazilian reais in Brazil for 2026 will allocate a significant portion towards expanding logistics infrastructure, aiming to provide greater convenience whenever and wherever consumers need it. According to previous company statements, this investment represents an increase of approximately 50% compared to the previous year, with funds also earmarked for strengthening e-commerce platform operations and advancing financial services.

Regarding logistics infrastructure expansion, Mercado Livre plans to build 14 new Fulfillment distribution centers in Brazil this year, bringing the total number of such facilities to 42.

Currently, the company's logistics network in Brazil includes over 5,000 operational points, a dedicated fleet of more than 8,000 vehicles, and 9 aircraft operated in partnership with GOLLOG. Approximately 500 robots are deployed within the distribution centers for product storage and sorting operations. Artificial intelligence technology is also widely applied for demand forecasting and route planning, used to predict shipment volumes in advance and optimize delivery routes, ensuring stable delivery times nationwide.

From a regional business perspective, the Brazilian market holds a significant position in Mercado Livre's overall revenue. In 2025, the company's global net revenue was 84.5 billion Brazilian reais, with the Brazilian market contributing 52.6% of the total net revenue.

Ebrun will continue to track and report on this development.
