[QUOTE="Louie_Two_Bits, post: 826908, member: 17748"]The Postal service is expected to drop Saturday delivery in 2011. I think it is primarily more affordable cell phone calling plans, texting/email, online billing/banking, and more competitive private parcel services (ups, fedex, courier services, etc) that is causing less usage. Also, one would think the Internet would INCREASE postal usage. I mean, with access to an increased national and global marketplace available, online shopping purchases need to be delivered somehow...postal services. Even outside of coins, most of my purchases are done online and are shipped to me. And I purchase globally whereas, before the Internet I was primarily limited to local purchases. And I NEVER used to write a letter to a friend and put it in the mail. So for me, I'm using postal services now more than ever. Saturday service will be missed. -LTB[/QUOTE]
