In any business, when demand shrinks, the business has to also shrink. I don't understand the need to have 6 day/week delivery in modern times when there has been such a huge decline if mail volume. It seems to me they should have cut this down to 3 days a week, then 2, and I don't even think 1 day/week would be unreasonable for 1st class mail. But maybe that doesn't work logistically because they still have to store the mail they're not delivering (even though there isn't much of it). Doing the package deliveries - I dunno. It seems like if there was a demand for this service, more competition would have sprung up for FedEx and UPS without the USPS needing to get involved. Then again, maybe the USPS is helping to keep shipping rates down. Hard to say what prices would be if the USPS hadn't gotten involved in package shipping, overnight delivery, etc.
