The United States Postal Service will be implementing a new mail delivery schedule later this year.
According to the United States Postal Service, the Postmaster General is introducing a six-day package, five-day mail delivery plan. On Monday – Saturday, packages will be delivered, and Monday – Friday mail will be delivered to street addresses.
- Post Offices and P.O. Boxes will continue to be open six days per week.
- Express mail will still be delivered seven days per week.
- Mail will no longer be collected from blue collection boxes on Saturdays.
The Postal Service has projected a $238 billion shortfall over the next decade, promoting the changes.
Changes are expected to begin in August of 2013.
