The End of Saturday Mail?

I was seeing in the news tonight that the idea of eliminating Saturday postal mail deliveries is being examined.

Wouldn't affect me at all, as the only time I ever get mail on Saturday is if someone has been silly enough to pay for exprespost.

Hmmmm, that's interesting. Well, that would be one less day to get bills from creditors. And it doesn't really matter if I get a check in the mail on Saturday, because it's not a business day and wouldn't technically be deposited until Monday anyway...

So I guess it wouldn't be a bad thing for me. It just might take some getting used to, remembering not to count Saturday when estimating mail delivery time (if I were to mail a payment or something).

Hey, this would not bother me at all.

I think it's a good idea to stop Saturday delivery. I hope the post office will still be open on Saturday mornings so we can mail out and buy stamps. It's impossible to get to the PO during the week!

I wouldn't have a problem with it. Other than having to allow an extra day if I'm mailing something over the weekend, it wouldn't affect me that much.

We are gone most weekends up at our cabin anyway, so that would be much better for us.

I've noticed we've been getting a lot less mail lately - pretty much just bills and junk mail, both of which I could do without receiving on a Saturday (or any other day for that matter
