Is There Any Reason We Need Mail 6 Days?

[What!]

Leave it the way it is. It isn't that big of a deal to get junk mail. Throw it away. Also, as other posters have stated, lowering the days wouldn't help the mail carriers who have to pay their own bills. Extra hours is good for their bank accounts.

Lastly, I order stuff online all the time. Sometimes I wish the mail got delivered on Sunday. I can get real impatient waiting for this stuff. If they cut down one day I'd probably blow a fuse.

I have one of those boxes. I don't need to check it, because anything important comes to the office. My bills are auto-debit, and/or electronic. About once every two weeks the nice mail person drops it on my front porch because the box is full.

The first year she did it, I saw her at Christmas and gave her a $100 gift certificate for the extra service. She has been doing it ever since. Its worth the $100 per year. If there are 20 good pieces of mail a year, its a big year. I get hundreds of other letters and catalogs, all of which go up the chimney.

My vote is to drop the residential service to 4 days a week. Business mail, which pays the bills anyway, should continue as-is. Important residential letters can be sent Priority Mail if needed.

I work six days a week, ten hours a day. That is quite enough for me, thank you very much.
