Posted: 2/6/2013 | By: Ed O'Keefe | The Washington Post
The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service plans to stop
delivering mail on Saturdays starting Aug. 1, the agency is set to
announce Wednesday.
This means that for the first time Americans will receive mail only five days a week, a significant shift for the storied mail agency, which has suffered tens of billions of dollars in losses in recent years with the advent of the Internet and e-commerce.
USPS plans to continue Saturday delivery of packages, which remain a profitable and growing part of the delivery business.
