Stop delivery on Saturdays would save over $300 million. Why not? I don't need it on Saturday!

Heck I would be fine with 3 days a week personally. Do people REALLY need daily delivery of snail mail? If so why?

/—-/ Since all of my bills are on auto pay, all I get is junk mail.
Personally I could do with delivery three days a week.
I walk five steps from my PO Box to the trash can and dump 99% of the mail.

nd dont even get me started on maintenance for vehicles the gov employees treat like shit,,

a private company wouldnt allow it,,

Oh man, USPS needs a couple billion to buy electric mail trucks according to Bidumb. In the mean time UPS builds their own trucks with no tax payer dollars.

They stopped Saturday mail decades ago.

All they delivered on Saturdays was over night parcels and large packages.

Then stuff backed up. So they started doing every other Saturday for those who wanted overtime.

Stuff still backed up.

They ended up paying more in weekly overtime, than just rotating the schedules to include Saturdays.

So now, more often than not, it's just the metro areas that have Saturday mail.


The End.

I'm in very rural Kentucky. We have Saturday mail.

I think we could live without mail service on Saturdays and it would save Americans billions. Those who simply HAD to have something delivered on Saturday would still have UPS, Fed Ex, etc.

USPS might still want to over overnight express delivery on weekends, holidays and such but should charge enough to pay for their costs to do that.

Yup, I'm very fiscally responsible, I just despise the lying con man named trump.
