delivery 6 days a week is a huge pain in the ass, especially as employees only work 5 days a week and you have to have a huge group of employees covering their days off..
the most cost effective way is to cancel saturday delivery and let the delivery employees work M-F....the draw back is delivery volume would be a little higher on Monday and thus a small amount of overtime may occur...
the larger question is what are you going to do with the surplus employees that would result from going to 5 day delivery....in most cases they would be federal employess, so they would be expensive to get rid of...a hiring freeze and expedited buyouts/retirements would be required and that takes years to work through the system...
