I keep forgetting that you guys have Saturday delivery. Canada did away with it long before I was born.
It wouldn't surprise me if you were cut down to three or four days a week as more bills and messages are sent electronically. Junk mail people can hire their own delivery people.
we've not had Saturday delivery in Canada in my living memory - 43 yrs
Can't say I miss it :)
No maybe it might have meant more in the days when snail mail was the only way people had of keeping in touch with loved ones - but even snail mail is slowly going the way of the dinosaur
I could do without Saturday mail as long as they don't close the post office on Saturday. Sometimes that's the only day one can pick up a package delivery there.
I favor a three-a-week schedule. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. I don't know how much fuel those standard delivery routes typically take, but if that can be cut down by half, and merely at a cost of half our junk mail arriving just a day later than it ordinarily would, then I say go for it.
(And anyone who would have a really serious problem with a one-day delay can just pay a little more for the Extreme-Priority-Teleport-It-There service.)
