I've heard of the idea of stopping Saturday delivery but if the American Postal Workers Union has it's way we may lose the US Mail altogether. A sign of the times, I guess.

they are also talking about closing the smaller offices in the more rural areas. Which means people will have to travel further for mail service...

My husband & I are in our 50s. We remember when Saturday delivery was a new thing. The mail used to come five days a week. We could go back to that schedule painlessly, I think.

I'm neutral on this; I use the 'net for everything except Christmas cards.

My grandpa showed me the newspapers about "No more mails!" I got mad so I hope they will not close the post office!
But, what about the shipping package and box from UPS and FedEx?

Mailing advertisements, bills, and regular mail will slow to an eventual stop. In fifty years everyone will have a computer, young and old. The Net will be the new post office, aside from things ordered online.

What about the movies from NetFlix? RedBox? Other movie companies? I really don't like to go over the post office to pick them up!
