Stop the mail on Saturday. That’d be fine with me as I hate getting bills on Saturdays anyhow.

Fine with me, less junk mail. Just have to be sure that their pay is adjusted down.

Most people I know have done away with the Postal Service anyway: bill-pay and virtual billing work just fine.

In fact, I cannot remember the last time I bought stamps and I still have a handful left.

Can’t live without my Val-Pak and 2,398 reminders from Golf Digest that my sub is about to expire.

Does anyone know?

If they have “dwindling mail volume”.....they should have dwindling costs. I can’t see how the Post Office could loose money when you figure out how much it costs to send packages. I understand that UPS and FedEx is on their board of directors. They probably want to see the Post Office stop shipping packages.

Work less, cost more money - that is the government for you.

First step:

Stop delivering all the crap from the supermarkets.

And raise the postage...right? I’d be fine having to go to the post office to pick up if it meant less junk mail.

I happen to use Stamps.com for the ocassions I have to mail a package. I don’t know about others, but when I go to the post office in either of the two cities I happen to be in, there are long lines of people waiting for a clerk. And the clerks are almost always grumpy and treat you like their doing you a big favor helping you out.

How about just eliminating all the deliveries, closing the whole Postal "Service" and saving us all a bundle? I'm sure that within a week or two FedEx and UPS would be able to step in and handle everything, probably for 20 cents per standard envelope.

Better yet, they can cut down on 1/2 of my mail, stop delivering the bills!

That’s just to justify another rate increase which will cut the volume down further and make them wail about increasing costs and losses.
