The U.S. Postal Service plans to stop delivering letters and other first-class mail on Saturdays, beginning August 1, although packages will continue to be delivered.

However, two sources confirmed to CNN that the plan includes an end to Saturday mail service except for package delivery, which has seen growth in the past few years. Ref. CNN

I don't care if they put a male or female I just want the postal rates to remain steady and not increase. Oil prices are down but we don't get any benefit from that - more so when you're sending packages outside of America.
