Funny how the people that are crying not to get rid of Saturday delivery are the same ones that do not use the service to begin with. Don’t use it and it will go away not only Saturday but Monday thru Saturday.

Do not send your mortgage in late. DUHHHH. Saturday delivery is freaking stupid. We are behind times. Every nation in the world has no Sat delivery except USPS. Lets get with it and at the same time save energy, fuel and reduce pollution. It makes perfect sense. Throw in the fact that by early 2013 , government halts mailing checks completely and its an absolute no brainer. I am more concerned about the benefits of Saturday delivery, than the little old lady that may have to wait until Monday, for goodness sake, to receive the letter from her sister that she has no heard from in 25 years.

Many people use direct deposit, email, UPS, FEDEX, fill in online forms, and read magazines online, so the post office is almost obsolete. It’s no wonder they are losing money. When you monopolize an area of business and then get fierce competition that is cheaper, easier, and faster, of course you will lose money, if you don’t drastically change immediately. Ask how Gates did it. He might be able to help.

I work for the post office and I think if the “big shots” wouldn’t get paid so much maybe that would help out!! Stopping Saturday mail delivery is only going to hurt business!!! Everyone needs to write to congress!!!!

I don’t agree with it. If you do online business, customers don’t like to wait until the next business day (Monday) for items they have paid for. Also, when some pay bills by mail, are the bill collectors going to take that into account; I don’t think so. So, what happens is, more people will have late fees and companies make more off the consumer….a win for them, a loss for consumers. Also, the postal service says they are losing money but the price of shipping is still going up; the service at some of the local post offices is shabby, stuff is still getting lost and broken and items going from one town to another within a metro area is taking even longer to arrive. So, they need to hire more people….one thing I’ve noticed regarding all businesses over the past 10 years; customer service is lacking extremely and incompetence is an every day thing. Treat customers like they are of true value and business would not be lacking and maybe, just maybe they will see their business and bottom line improve. Also, you might want to get rid of some the management; they eat up a lot of the profit.
