I don't care we don't get alot of paper mail anymore, but it will probably take a bit to remember to not check for it.
Will you miss Saturday delivery of US mail?

It will save money so thats great. besides most people get their bills electronically now and thats what mail is mostly anyway. Getting adds on monday rather than saturday only changes the day they go into the recycle bin
03/12/2013
It won't really affect me one way or the other. A lot of times I forget to check my mail for a few days at a time anyway.

I don't really use it, but it's sad that it won't be available anymore.
03/13/2013
I will definitely miss it. ;.; I always enjoy getting mail.

Oh, I forgot, that's call "redistribution of wealth". Give the government your money, they will find lots of other projects to spend on it twice fold!!!

I will miss mail on Saturdays but it's just one more thing I'll have to put up with.

I'll definitely miss it. It think it would've been been to not have deliver on Wednesday (or another day midweek) instead of not receiving it two days in a row.

Saturday delivery of mail is NOT a concern
03/13/2013
No, I won't miss it. I'm so lazy I don't go to the mailbox everyday!

I miss it and think it's pretty stupid, to be honest. I totally understand why it happened but like, I don't know. They have one job- to mail things. And they already take every single miniscule holiday off and barely work 9-5 through the week, so I don't know why cutting hours would help them make more money.

I hardly remember to check the mail every day anyways, unless I know there's something coming that I'm looking forward to. Usually, it's just bills that I pay online anyways. So for me - no, I won't miss Saturday mail.
03/13/2013
Aw, well...yeah, I will, but I can live without it.
03/13/2013
No big deal....

Yeah I'll miss it. I was kind of hoping they would go to 7-day delivery too so Sunday wasn't such a bore
03/13/2013
yeah, that really sucks
03/13/2013
No.

It used to be that my e-mail was full of mostly junk mail and spam, and I received my real mail and bills in my physical mailbox. It's the opposite now.
Most of my personal business and bills are done electronically. We cannot live without email.
On the other hand, most of what we receive in our physical mailbox is junk, spam and advertisements. The USPS could cut back to only 2 or 3 days per week for residential mail delivery and it would be fine with me.
The USPS does an incredible job, but lets me honest, technology has shifted and greatly reduced the need for daily deliveries.

Not really. I'm only concerned with packages and those will still be arriving. Also, I usually go to get the mail, like, once every one or two weeks, so...
03/14/2013
Wish it didn't have to go, but I'm glad the post office with get another day off.
03/14/2013
I'll miss it!
