Presort.com--WASHINGTON, DC-March 24, 2011-The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) issued its Advisory Opinion in Docket N2010-1 on a U.S. Postal Service plan to end Saturday mail delivery, collection and outbound mail processing. The Postal Service is required to ask the PRC for an Advisory Opinion on any change in nationwide service it proposes. The Postal Service advised the PRC that due to falling mail volumes and revenues it is considering eliminating Saturday mail collection and delivery except for Express Mail and existing post office box service.

Our estimates, therefore, should be seen as the most likely, middle-ground analysis of what could happen under a five-day scenario," said Chairman Ruth Y. Goldway. Read more!
