The mail used to be delivered several times PER DAY. Saturday delivery is a relic of that bygone era. I probably only need to receive postal mail once a week.

The mail used to be delivered several times PER DAY. Saturday delivery is a relic of that bygone era. I probably only need to receive postal mail once a week. Maybe three times a week during holiday season. Saturday won't be missed here.

Interesting. When was it delivered more than once a day? Everywhere, or in limited areas?

  Maybe just in cities, this was the late 1800s, when postcards were essentially email.
