To really save some money, they need to do away with Saturday delivery!! I'm sure all of us can go without Saturday & Sunday delivery. (gas & vehicles are so costly) Secondly, they need to start figuring a way to have mail delivered in a centralized area (like The Villages) so time can be saved, and mileage usage can be decreased. Since there has been such a large decline in 1st class mail, (because of computers and direct deposit for checks etc) the Postal Service needs to be in competition with UPS and Fed Ex for parcel delivery. Also close down a lot of the rural Post Offices, and contract out with Super Markets, to have a Post Office in the Super Market. Everybody wins then. The Super Market gives the Post Office free space, and the Super Market draws more customers. Win, Win!! Also get more involved in Fax. Maybe bring in Hallmark cards for sale in Lobbies. I'm sure there's other people out there with some ideas? I myself, would like to see The Postal Service succeed, and flourish. After all, mail delivery is like "apple pie" and USA
