Mail delivery 3x a week would be fine.
There’d be more savings in the elimination of DOOR DELIVERY ~ move all of that to cluster boxes ~
There's not a postal worker or postal retiree alive who will ever see a dime of that money!
BTW, nobody else does that!
who wants to save Saturday service?? (other than their union) I don’t.
It doesn't mention delivery. Until the 1900's home delivery was only done in cities. Most people had to go to the post office to pick up their mail or hire a private carrier.
Thanks for the correct. It’s so ridiculous my brain mostly just remembers “some completely idiotic retirement thing”. Ending that will fix the USPS’s finances in 10 minutes.
When I was growing up there was no mail service on Sat and everyone got along just fine. No grocery stores were open on Sunday and nobody starved.
I could do without Saturday mail.
That was in the day when general delivery or will/call was most common.
The post office dpeartment started home delivery to reduce the traffic to post office and the enormous lines standing outside.
Saturday mail service saved for now?...Why?
Just my opinion and probably a minority one but 47¢ to send a letter anywhere in the country is a bargain and would be if the cost were doubled.
Wow, a good thing, too - where would I be without all my mail order catalogues and supermarket circulars on a Saturday afternoon?
The Saturday mail delivery system is pretty cool. USPS is finally trying to work all the time in week except on Sundays. Thank you USPS.
