USPS Ends Saturday Delivery

Thursday, 07 February 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Clever, if sad, headline in the Wall Street Journal this morning: “Costs Do What Rain, Snow, Night Can’t.” The USPS is cutting Saturday mail delivery. The change will only affect letters, bills, magazines, Netflix envelopes, etc.—packages will still make it onto doorsteps. The Journal says the move, a maneuver to address the $15.9 billion in losses last year—is an “unusual act of independence” from the agency, which has been banned from ending Saturday service in the past by Congress.
