I mean it can be seen that it is a good money saving move, but it also is going to make their clients base go down since less people will be willing to go there for the convenience of it it

This is a great idea to save some money in the short run but USPS could potentially lose even more customers to UPS and FEDEX. Personally, UPS and FEDEX aslo deliver much faster than USPS so this move could possibly hurt them in the long run.

This decision is beneficial. Cutting Saturday deliveries means saving money and therefore saving jobs. The American people will be able to adapt relatively quickly to this change. Stats show that USPS is less relevant in todays digital age.

I think this is going to be very detrimental to the US Postal Service. Many customers are going to complain about this and I strongly foresee them having to bring back Saturday deliveries.

This can lead to the demise and reliability of the USPS because I feel like people will use UPS and Fedex more often to ensure speedy delivery.

Good money saving move, but with other private alternatives it doesn't seem like the smartest cost saving move given that UPS and FEDEX can now deliver a day faster than USPS

I agree that customers will be negatively impacted, because personally, I rely on Saturday deliveries for handling business.

Doing this could turn customers to choose other carriers to handle their mail. It's a great way to save money in the short run, but in the long run could this be the ultimate demise of the United States Postal Service?

This decision by the US Postal Service carries significant positives and negatives. All in all I think that this decision is a good move, any step that will save you an abundance of profit is always considered a good step. Customers will be neg. impacted.
