What they should do is deliver to businesses on M-W-F, and to residences on T-Th-S. That way they would be reducing delivery from 6 days per address to 3 days per address.
Businesses that need mail every day have PO boxes anyway.
Bunch of idiots using a scalpel when they need a machete. Probably going to cost them more to eliminate Saturday delivery than they are going to save. -- NOTHING justifies terrorism. We don't negotiate with terrorists. Those that support terrorists are terrorists.
reply to jaa I have to agree that this is stupid. For those that work M-F during normal business hours -- how are we suppose to mail packages when the post office is closed on Saturday? Or are they just stopping delivery on Saturday while keeping the office open?

I like the MWF/TTHS idea.
How do you send stuff via UPS or FedEx on a saturday? Want saturday service then expect $1 stamps and double your rates for sending packages.
reply to mlcarson Post offices will remain open on Saturdays; they are just stopping home delivery. Note specifically the word home - if you use a post office box, you will still get mail on Saturdays.
Um...cutting Saturday Delivery will save the USPS $3 billion dollars Annually. I have a sister who is a Station Manager for the USPS.
Um...my point exactly. That is what they say, but we know it will actually save $300M annually, and cost $250M annually.
They need a much bigger change - no point in trying to bail the Titanic with a dixie cup.
They have already lost all the business for time-critical delivery to fax, email, and FedEx/UPS. Time for some real leadership and change. -- NOTHING justifies terrorism. We don't negotiate with terrorists. Those that support terrorists are terrorists.
