The only issue I can see, for me, is at work. I work in a law office, and a lot of that stuff is time-sensitive. It's not going to be a huge deal for me, but it's going to mean more work for our secretaries, because we're going to need them to get stuff out a day or two earlier.

Personally though, I don't think it will make a whole lot of difference.

What I was thinking was that, instead of getting stuff out a day or two earlier, most people will probably overnight it via FedEx, thereby costing the post office even more business!

Or people will develop better time management skills.

Oh, OK, duh

I dunno, I'll just miss seeing the "mail lady" on the weekends. She comes up to the farm in a truck and I can generally tell what time it is by the time that she arrives.

yeah, but we can't have people take personal responsibility, otherwise they would be active.

Saturday delivery would be cut. They've been talking about it for decades...not just a few years.

In doing some research, I found out the PO used to delivery twice a day...back in the 1930s or so...I don't even get that much mail! However, this was back when many people didn't even have a telephone. Lots more mail. Actual hand-written letters!

Considering I only check my mailbox twice a week, I'm ok with this. I've always thought that they should have gotten rid of Saturday delivery (with the exception of express/overnight packages) a long time ago.

How about if instead of doing away with delivery one day a week, they make junk mailers pay premium rates and reserve the lower rates for tax-exempt organizations? :cool:

My post office is cutting back a half hour in the morning and an hour at night. I just saw it posted this afternoon.

I like this idea. In fact, I'm almost at the point of paying the junk mailers to NOT send me any mail!
