The U.S. Postal Service will announce it will end Saturday home delivery of letters and other first-class mail, but will still deliver packages, starting in August.

The cut is expected to mean a savings of about $2 billion annually, according to The Associated Press.
 
A press conference is scheduled for 10 a.m. ET Wednesday.

I still think they should sub-lease space to other vendors like Redbox and Coinstar. That would get them more traffic.

I think this is a reasonable cut.  I've always wondered why there was still mail delivery on Saturdays.  and I like the idea that Saturday delivery IS an option, just as it is with Fedex and UPS.

really -- It's about Time !!

If you were running a business and you had to continually borrow Billions of  $$ every year to stay in business --  You must cut costs ...   Federal Government has no clue how to run a business .. .. In their mind,  it's OK to borrow, just to pay the bills and worry about it later .... Say nothing about the pay and benefits ... Simple Business Case Review,  this model stinks -- fix it ...   This is only a band-aid too -- Why thrown away Billions -- Fix it ..
