Oh but wait Netflix is moving towards streaming delivery.

There no need for 6 day a week delivery. The USPS wants to go to 5 days a week but needs congress's approval. They're to busy complaining about deficits( ironically ) and going on vacation to address a $3 bil issue. They also want to close many smaller post offices but once again needs approval by Congress.
A few years back I sold a lot of stuff on ebay so I spent a lot of time at the post office. The people working there told me that the Netflix and Ebay sales were two of the biggest things they had now and without them they would be screwed. They have actually done a lot of stuff to streamline and make doing mass shipping with them a lot easier.
