USPS Plans To End Saturday Mail

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:

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.
