Post Office Still Looks to Halt Saturday Delivery; Hearings Open July 14

My thoughts are as follows: Someone said Wednesday is the slowest day -- that is the day to close. I also agree all small towns don't need a Postmaster & that some can be combined.

My wife is a relief rural carrier,she works every Saturday and when ever some one is sick,on vacation etc. The slowest day for mail is Wednesday. The busiest days are Fridays,Saturdays and Monday and especially Tuesday if Monday was a Holiday.

There are a lot of medications shipped daily, people depend on these arriving on time 6 days a week.

There are lots of ways of saving money one is cut out Sunday mail deliveries to post offices nation wide.

But the best one is eliminate postmaster positions in small post offices. where I live we haven't had one in months, the clerk has the title of officer in charge and it works very well.

The discussion to stop Saturday delivery has been going on for sooo long now. If Congress and the rest of the government could move a little faster, the stopping of the Saturday mail could have already saved millions. I have not talked to anyone in business or residentially who feels the Saturday service is essential.

Those that work will not like the delay in there Netflix accounts , and those that don't , may have a slight delay in there entitlement funds. Only those that work and produce should have a say in anything Government related in this country.

Make all paid the same. One price for all that used the mail. I get mail stamped
less then ten cent that not right. To us who paid the fourty four cent. If they wanted to mail it they should paid for it. Just like we all do. Stop giving out pay raises. You are like the legislate, congress and the government need more money to be happy. You need to stop contracting out the jobs it cost more. You look for more way to spend money not make and save money. Just like legislate, congress and the government spent it or give it away. So they can tax more to get more. I would like to see legislate, congress and the government paid for the thing we have to paid for to live the way they want us to. I would like to get all they get.

Congress should maintian Saturday delivery. Saturday delivery is crucial for long-term survival. Without it, the Postal Service will be less competitive, mail demand will decline further, and it will lead to a downward spiral. The Postal service needs to stop being a piggybank to the rest of the government. USPS has been overcharged $75 billion for its pension fund obligations. Our pension plan is fully funded without the $75 billion. This money should be returned to the Postal Service so we can solve the Service's deficit problem.

Where I come from there is a post office in every town. Close and combine. I have no problem with traveling another 8 minutes to the next town for services.

What is taking them so long to impose the changes to the delivery of mail; we as payees of the postal system don't have to wait for the imposed increases every six months.

That's a good start - but they need to cut back on their retiree benefit programs. Few retirees receive such lucrative health packages; neither should the postal service.

Has anyone been to a post office recently? I have. If so please rate it.
