    Bout damn time.

    Yeah..there is no reason to have regular delivery on saturday anymore.
    Important stuff such as checks and things like that are now direct deposited into whatever accounts.
  • GoChiefs
    Packages will still be delivered on Saturday as well.

    Hey! I'm Ok with this ... I would even go with only three/four delivery per week .... for residential 3 days and 4 delivery per week for business. Check is alway in the mail :laugh:

    I'd be fine with mail being delivered 1 or 2 days a week. Essentially, unless we've ordered a package, all we get is junk mail and account statements.

    I'd love to not get mail honestly. Packages, cards with $ and magazines is the only thing I want coming in the mail. I throw 90% of my mail straight into recycling.

    Agree.

    Get paid once per month...check the mail once per month. That's good enough for me.

    Wait - you still go to the bank to deposit your check? You amish? Hell, if someone writes me a personal check I deposit it with my phone.

    Uhhh, no. I receive a pay stub not a check.

    Ok Capt. Vague. Your previous post made it sound like you check the mail once a month for your pay check.

    What it may have sounded like is not what it says.

    Those are two activities I have no reason to perform more than once per month.

    Yep. If I'm not waiting for something I ordered, there's no purpose to even walk down to the mailbox, as it's all junk.

    I get paid weekly and it comes through the mail. They dont direct deposit for an independent contractor, unfortunately.

    I'm suprised it took this long.

    For the government to cut a program? Surprised it happened at all.

    I've found this the case when independently working for Unionized companies. Instead of setting up direct deposit they'd rather cut a check.

    Implementation of this has been delayed thanks to our wonderful Congress adding a provision into a spending bill to prohibit the move to 5 day mail.

    Earliest it can happen now is the end of the Fiscal year (9/30), and I'm sure the retards will tack it onto their next short term spending bill since they're also too retarded to compromise on anything in order to pass a budget
