Postal Service bids farewell to mail delivery on Saturdays
2013-02-07
[Iran Press TV] The long-threatened dismantling of the United States Postal Service has begun in piecemeal fashion as the agency announced on Wednesday plans to end Saturday mail deliveries cutting a deeper path for privatized delivery and inciting the "death spiral" of an American institution.

Confirming earlier reports, Postmaster General Patrick Donahue said that the Saturday mail cutback will begin the week of August 5.

The Associated Press reports that "under the new plan, mail would be delivered to homes and businesses only from Monday through Friday, but would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays. Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open on Saturdays."

#2  When companies start to flounder, they typically retrench and focus on their core competencies. By cutting back on Saturday delivery, the Post Office is focusing on their strength - not delivering the mail.
