No Mail For You

I was honestly a bit surprised to hear that USPS is no longer going to be delivering mail on Saturdays. They’ve been trying to do this for years. I really thought it was never going to happen. They finally went through with it though. No more Saturday mail for you.

At first, I was concerned. I’m still not sure how much this will actually impact my life. I now have two days in a row where I don’t have to check my mail. Is this important? Will it cause bills to be late? Really, I’m only concerned about the bills. Bills are one of the few regular features of my mail (that and junk mail, but they can take as long with that as they want). My only concern is whether or not that extra couple of days will cause me to pay a bill late. Other than that, I mainly get packages…but they are still going to deliver packages on Saturday. So, really, should I be that freaked out about this?

I can’t say I blame them too much. It seems like they raise the price of stamps every couple of months or so. If I don’t like that, I suppose I can’t get too mad when they try a way to cut costs instead. Is there another mail reform that could be done instead? I don’t know. Ill-informed as I am, I guess I have to trust that this will help. If not, something else will be coming.

It seems like a big change, but I just wonder how much of a change it is really going to be. There will be more mail on Mondays. I can say that for sure. Beyond that, if we want Saturday mail service, we’d have to be willing to pay for it. Things cost money.
