I’ve never had an expectation of overnight service for first-class mail.

Next the Postal Service will try introducing two-day e-mail.

Agreed, this is the first I’ve heard of it too. I’ve always allowed 2 or 3 days locally. A week out of area. I have to wonder if this is along the lines of “We’re gonna cancel Big Bird” threats we hear out of PBS everytime their funding us threatened ...

That already exists. It's called a DIALUP CONNECTION...

Two-day email!

Good shot.

Or maybe Obamacare delivery. How is it that anybody believes govt-related entities (Fannie/Freddie, anyone?) can deliver anything?

They are so far in debt to the Postal Unions that they could cut everything and couldn't honor their contracts to the unions and it appears the unions aren't budging.

[tobyhill]

I just caught that. LMAO.

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"

...provided those rounds are conveniently appointed to meet our schedule....

I’ve never had an expectation of overnight service for first-class mail.

Back when I was in college (1965-68) a high school friend and I used to communicate by audio tape. This single three inch reel routinely made three round trips a week between Troy, NY and Ithaca, NY. (About 140 miles one way by car)

Me neither...possibly in local areas, but I normally don't get letters the day after they're mailed. I know that for a fact.

If I want a letter delivered Next Day, I send it Next Day Air.
