I’d be sad to not get mail on Saturday. I would think that it would cause less people to mail things and to use services like UPS or FedEx that offer Saturday delivery.

I sincerely hope we get to keep Saturday delivery in any case!

Wow, I would be so sad about if this happens. It’s funny how even though something like this comes about because of all the new technology and “progress”, the idea of having one less day of mail feels like stepping backward.
