Saturday Mail Delivery May End Soon!

This won't bother me. If it can keep them from continuously raising the cost of postage, I am all for it!

It may seem strange at first, but I would get used to it fairly quickly. It seems like I only get bills and junk mail anyway. Nobody writes real letters anymore anyway. It's all email. It has probably been a long time coming. I wonder if they will decrease the mailcarrier's pay if they decrease the work week. That would be a real downside for the carrier.

It really doesn't matter one way or the other to me. We live in the country and we have a delivery driver and I am sure especially in weather like we are having right now that he wouldn't mind only having a five day delivery.
We just now at 4 pm got our road plowed. Ours is usually the last one to be plowed and then only when it is time for the school buses to run.
So i am sure that for our mailmen to have a long week-end is something that everyone in the work force looks forward to.

To clarify:

I just got back from reading what was actually said. Tuesday seems to be the day being looked at, because of its tendency to be one of the days with the lightest mail volume.

We already get just five day mail delivery in Canada. Most of us are either emailing or calling people on the phone because the price of stamps is going through the roof. The higher the cost of postage, the less people will write letters. We have trouble with people getting wrong mail, but that is because of this stupid idea up here to be multiculturalism, and that means that people who do not know English (or French if they live in Quebec) are hired by our post office and they put the mail in the wrong slots. And they just read the postal code.
At least with five day delivery, you do not have to be home on Saturday. It would be a good thing.

Oh heck, why not. They take off for holidays no one celebrates any more so why not Saturdays? At least they aren't taking off for obscure holidays (The President's dog has fleas Day LOL)

I guess it wouldnt bother me that much. I noticed that my local post office already cut back it's Saturday hours. I think if we dont get Saturday mail delivery though the cost of postage stamps should go down. 42 cents or whatever it is to mail a letter is pretty darn expensive. When I was young it was like seven cents.

I lived in Austria where five day delivery is normal. It's kind of strange at first but you get used to it. The only time it's bothersome is when you wait on something important to be delivered because there is one day less and a whole weekend to wait...

We didn't get mail the last two days because of the weather conditions. And you are right, service has gone down tremendously.

Actually, I'll only be getting mail 4 1/2 days a week now. Our post office has been closing at noon on Wednesdays since this town first opened a post office so, yes, it will bother me. We do a lot of business no Ebay, as you know, and my husband had parts coming and going all throughout the week. Our post office is only open for a couple of hours on Saturdays as it is. I know that a lot of the retirees down here who still receive paper checks aren't going to be happy if the first of the month falls on a Saturday and they have to wait until Monday to get their check.

I think it is a good idea. The only thing I would worry about is bills getting to companies on time. I think they should have to give a grace period until we figure out how much it will affect it.
