Details of Postal Service's planned cuts in Saturday mail service
The Postal Service announced Wednesday that it planned to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages.
The details:
— Saturday delivery of mail, such as letters and magazines that are going to street addresses, would end. Delivery would be only Monday through Friday.
— Mail addressed to P.O. boxes still would be delivered on Saturday.
— Post offices now open on Saturday would remain open on Saturday.
— Delivery of packages of all sizes would remain the same, i.e., six days a week.
— The change would begin the week of Aug. 5.
— Officials estimated that the cutback would save around $2 billion annually when it was fully in place.
