It was about a year ago when he changed his mind and said he would deliver packages on saturday. That reason was to get 5 day mail delivery.

Idiot. If the competitor presents a parcel and the USPS charges them say $3; how can the USPS sort and deliver that item for $3? most of the time they can't. It's quite apparent the USPS is violating the Postal Accountability act by subsidizing the parcel business by slowing service to the Market Dominant Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615285628064623043.post-67310751588099545882014-11-02T09:53:33.399-10:002014-11-02T09:53:33.399-10:00Regarding "get your facts straight": USP...Regarding "get your facts straight": USPS's original 2010 action plan said, "The Postal Service would move to a 5-day<br />per week schedule if given the legislative changes required to adjust delivery frequency, thus eliminating delivery on Saturday, the lowest volume day."

Parcel mail is growing due to the internet, which is why they are talking about expanding to 6 or 7-day delivery for parcels. It all makes good sense in terms of keeping the business viable.
