This is a BS cover for eliminating Saturday delivery. You just wait and see, that’ll be one of their “solutions”.
The PO has been a loser for years. Their problems really started, and were made worse by, bulk mail contracts. That have been competing with Fed-Ex and UPS and lose every time, and now they’re competing for pennies against trucking Carriers, who have been decimated by high fuel costs and poor economy.
Everybody loses.
So what if they don’t deliver on Saturday??? Will it be missed....except maybe during one week of the year?
It rained here this summer and they didn’t deliver the mail for weeks, I liked it. Because I didn’t go in to get the mail, they sent mine with my DIL. I hate mail, I only get it out of the box once a week or when I know I should be getting a check or something good.
While there *has* been talk of eliminating Saturday mail delivery, I've heard no serious rumbles about it.
Those of you who believe that the USPS should be folded, and it contracted to UPS, Fed-Ex, or whoever should understand that, under *that* scenario, Saturday mail delivery would be one of the first casualties, with daily rural mail delivery following closely behind. These "businesses" would see to that, as it would be a net loss to them, even as it is to the Postal Service...

Personally speaking....I have shipped thousands of packages by the USPS...and have had EXTREMELY great service.
I think they a do a great job.....overall.
God I hope they stop delivering on Saturday. Heck, how about only twice a week ? I get nothing but junk anyway.
Fine with me. They could probably go to 3 times a week and be fine—it would help save a lot of gas too.
