Makes no difference to me. Where I live in Barnegat our mail service is horrible. Mail is delivered very late, when our mail courier is off and we have a sub we receive mail addressed to other people. When we put a temporary stop and start date to our mail the instructions we leave are never followed and I always have to call the temporary person in charge. Service is horrible.

No mail on Saturday, no problem. Frankly, I think the post office should deliver mail for free only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, especially home delivery. If customers, both business and home delivery customers, want mail delivered to them on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, then they should be charged as if they had a post office box. Three day free mail delivery with a six day delivery paid option would help maintain a streamlined postal system that still provided all of its services in a competitive manner while having a much better opportunity to operate in the black. (When Monday is a holiday, then mail would be delivered on Tuesday for that week.)

I don't have an issue with this. There is nothing I get in the mail that is so urgent that Saturday delivery is necessary. In fact, they could do other cutbacks such as all operations closing one day so it's a five day operation. However, I think if that such a further cutback would be necessary that it should be a weekday such as Monday and keep Saturday open since that is when working people would have their best access.

It's known that the cash cow of the USPS is first class mail and as mentioned with banks, utility companies, business invoices and personal mail all trending towards electronic delivery that the USPS is going to be in a spiraling decline for it's service in the future. Even it's second good source of income, bulk advertizing had moved to internet operations. It's time to realize the USPS for all it's past greatness cannot maintain the size of it's operations unless it wants to become more competitive against package delivery services like UPS and FedEx. As of now it is not.

Do people still send stuff via snail mail?

No mail, no bills lol

I don't have home or work delivery any day; so, I would not even notice. I have a post office box for home and for work.

Electronic mail media is much more convenient, quicker and reliable. No bulky paper garbage to deal with, no trees getting cut down, and I would greatly prefer to get the junk mail in my inbox than have to carry it inside to throw out! I think the USPS should maintain, and even get more aggressive, with package delivery... That is the key to their survival at this point.
As far as the person bitching about their mail delivery in Barnegat, sorry you feel that way. My service and carriers have, for the most part, been excellent over the years.

Not an issue!You now have to wait another day for bills-big deal,

Most my "time sensitive" communications are done electronically. Saturday snail mail has always seemed to be mostly junk mail so eliminating the delivery is not a concern

No. It would not bother me if they stopped mail a few more days. Considering I handle all transactions via internet, the only thing we send is Greeting Cards through the year. The junk mail we receive, is mostly not worth the paper it is printed on. That being said, our mail delivery and carriers where we live in Barnegat is also very, very good.

Just factor in the delivery of important payment checks ...
it will now be delivered on Monday ... affording many who owe
you payments two more days ...
been sending mails and attached PDF's for years ...
if you have Fetch you can send huge files easily
the app is around $60-- enabling you to send
large files to Hawaii in about 10-minuted ...
if townships wanted to save us costs, they can
send large and PDFs for important documents ...
regular digital files (mostly text word docs) are very
small you can easily print them out and have
the benefit of a digital file ...
UPS should have investigated this feature (for small
charges) ... USPS is unfortunately a victim of the
digital world and technology ...
also heard that disabled postal workers over 70- plus
years old are still collecting disability ...
our founders created disability with the idea of buying
you time to get back to work ...
again the union grip has done their damage
on the cost of operating USPS ...

Once again "Political Intrusions" and the idiotic prepaying of Billions of Dollars n Medical Expenses for future employuees as deemed by the Congress of the USA.
Why? So when the Postal Service goes belly up these "Demons of the Devil" will swoop down, divide up the spoils and make themselves wealthier at the expense of the Taxpayers.
They've had numerous opportunities to repeal this repulsive, geedy, and in all liklihood, Illegal act but, they also write and make the Laws.

to sal sorce; postal disabilty stops at age 65 then you have to go onto your
regular postal pension which is TAXABLE do not say things you do not know
are true just to get your name in the papers

I don't care - I don't get my mail every day because it's always junk or bills. The only issue I have is that it never fails when an important bill is due I usually forget and mail it before a Monday holiday and it's late - now with no Saturday mail I will need to be more diligent

No problem for me. Just another day to wait for bills. LOL

I like my mailman and the services he provides. I say, "Give him Saturday off". The age of technology is bitter/sweet. Familiar things that we've aged with are becoming obsolete but I hope the USPS will not become one of them. Email can not replace the happiness a child or grandchild feels when opening a birthday card with some gift money in it sent via "snail mail". Speaking of grandchildren, my grandson (15) no longer uses or is required to use handwriting in cursive script. Typing! Use any font you like for an email letter. Texting has replaced handwritten letters...but I digress...If it helps to keep the USPS solvent forget about Saturday mail deliveries.

Well folks, we all complain about the junk mail, and I'm sure the delivery people feel the same way, but it does help the USPS pay the bills.
