You should be able to pick it up on Saturday but I would not get in the habit of it, as I was told by the girls in my Post Office that if you pick it up regularly on a Saturday you may expect a visit from the Social as it apparently flags up their end. Something to do with them thinking your working during the week and hence cannot collect you money until the weekend.
