US Postal Service ending Sat service starting Aug 1 2013
 

They will only deliver "parcels" but no letters....

"Six days of package delivery, five days of mail delivery"



they will save like 2 billion supposedly...

:helpme:helpme:helpme

save? my ass, they will squander that money elsewhere as fast as they can:2 cents:

"save" = Government-speak for "Lose fewer billions per year". Why do we even need a postal service which is largely fueled by senseless junk mail to begin with?

:1orglaugh

One less day I get junk mail. Should've done this long time ago.

This, or one day from M-F, should have been eliminated several, like 12 to 15, years ago...when they first started whining about $$$.

They're losing all that money already, and they still don't have enough people working the counter to keep the lines down.

Great just less junk mail

email taking over :/

We can agree on that.

No wonder.

Royal Mail service here is pathetic...

lots of places are going paperless to save money. you can view the docs and print them if you need them.

Do you really need to get bills in the mail on a Saturday anyways?

I check my mail once a week, at best. Usually every two weeks.

People are thinking this will also cut the postal staff by as many as 80,000 jobs nationwide because of the amount of people that deliver on Saturday only being cut.. Thats gonna hurt a bit..
