I think this is great news! I could care less if I had Saturday delivery. Since my mail usually comes late in the afternoon, I often forget to even check my mailbox on Saturdays. Most of the mail is junk mail anyway. Yep, no Saturday delivery is not a deal breaker for me.

"We built a plan that we think is very reasonable. ... We intend to pursue that," he said. "It's a move that we simply have to make."
