U.S. Postal Service to Drop Saturday Mail in August

The U.S. Postal Service will announce the end of Saturday mail delivery, WJBK-TV reported Wednesday morning. 

Saturday mail delivery will end in August. The move, which does not affect package delivery, is expected to save $2 billion annually, the report indicated. It's part of a 5-year plan to cut $20 billion, according to The Washington Post. 

The report added that post offices would remain open on Saturdays. The St. Clair Shores Post Office is located at 23125 Greater Mack.

On Tuesday, The Huffington Post reported that Hallmark Cards, Inc. has hired lobbyists who will ask Congress to keep Saturday delivery and consider other cost-saving measures. According to the report, postal workers say the move could result in the loss of 80,000 jobs.
