U.S. Postal Service Backing Down on Six-Year Battle to End Saturday Mail Delivery

Postal officials are ready to raise the white flag in their six-year battle to end Saturday delivery of letters and flat mail.

"In response to question as to what the USPS has compromised on in the legislative discussions with its stakeholders, Stroman said that five-day delivery was one of the things the USPS dropped and that other things that used to be on its list are no longer there," said the PostCom Bulletin, which is only available to members of the multi-industry Association for Postal Commerce (PostCom).
