From Fox News: The U.S. Postal Service plans to announce Wednesday that it will end Saturday mail delivery, in one of the most significant steps taken to date to cut costs at the struggling agency.
A source familiar with the decision confirmed the plan to Fox News.
Under the proposal, the Postal Service will continue to deliver packages six days a week. The plan, which is aimed at saving about $2 billion, would start to take effect in August.
The move accentuates one of the agency's strong points -- package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has declined with the increasing use of email and other Internet use.
Under the new plan, mail would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays. Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open on Saturdays.

Two days ago, at 4:30, I went to a Henderson post office and there 16 people in line and only 2 customer service rep.s helping out, including 1 rep. spending a long time talking about passports. What horrible service.
No wonder they are losing business. They don't care about their customers.
Is It Hovde's "Give Up" Time?
