USPS Plans To End Saturday Mail

Postal Service

The Postal Service plans to save you one trip to the mailbox a week. The USPS announcing it plans to end to Saturday home mail delivery in August.

FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern reports from the White House:

Audio clip:

Starting in August, you’ll see less of your neighborhood letter carrier.

(Donahoe) “Mail delivery will occur Monday through Friday and we not deliver, nor collect mail on Saturday.”

Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe says the move will save the Postal Service $2 billion a year.

Package delivery will continue on Saturdays and Post Offices with regular Saturday hours will stay open for P.O. Box pickup.

There are questions on Capitol Hill, however, if such a move needs congressional approval. The Postmaster General argues it does not.

    Hi,

    I am doing a report on supporting a statement, I decided to base my analogy on USPS and why they say it's going to end on Saturdays. A friend of mine said they herd on your show the other this information the other day. Although this was helpful I was looking for additional information, as far is statistics that were herd on your show with the dealings of this particular subject. Again I was just hoping for a redirection in the area to search.

    Thanks Truly,
