The Postal Service plans to drop Saturday delivery of first-class mail by August in its latest effort to cut costs after losing nearly $16 billion last fiscal year, the cash-strapped mail agency said on Wednesday.

Oh boy...my grandfathers Sat just got ruined

Lame.  It already sucks to order something at the end of the week and have to wait the extra time.

Oh well. Can't say I ever really depended on it. It's been coming so not a surprise either.

USPS is the absolute worst. You can never depend on it. It is always a day or two late.

I'd be cool with mail delivery three times a week.  Like Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  Anything that NEEDS to be shipped right away can go UPS or FedEx. 

 

Now I'm just talking delivery here three times a week.  Still keep sorting facilities and whatnot open weeklong, but deliveries only MWF. 

Im waiting for delivery to stop totaly and everyone get a P.O. Box and come get it

USPS is the absolute worst. You can never depend on it. It is always a day or two late.

Depends on where you live.  USPS for me has always been ahead of schedule by a day or two in northern/cenral valley California.  Faster than UPS or FedEx for me in most cases.

It must be where I live it is usually behind schedule most of the time.

Didn't they say they were keeping package delivery for Saturday?

Yes packages sat...they said package delivery is up 14%

Ah.  Then this doesn't affect me too much.

I get mad when I get mail. It's always bills.

 

Nobody mails me anything good
