The United States Postal Service is set to announce today that they will suspend their mail delivery service on Saturdays. The reason behind the decision is an effort to cut costs at the struggling agency.
Email and other electronic transactions have caused a dramatic drop in the volume of snail-mail and its associated revenues — so much so that Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has proposed eliminating Saturday mail delivery.
It’s a move that could save the United States Postal Service as much as $3.1 billion a year.
