Let me select what days the USPS delivers mail to my house

Created by M.B. on January 30, 2015

Everyone knows that the USPS is bleeding money. Everyone also knows that a person walks to almost every single front door in America six days a week which seems a little insane. Several times the USPS has attempted to propose a one size fits all approach to fix the budget by eliminating Saturday delivery. For some reason people want credit card applications on Saturday.

I propose to LET PEOPLE SELECT WHAT DAYS USPS DELIVERS MAIL. Now this will require more storage of mail on the USPS side but consider if 10% of people opt to receive mail 1 day a week, rather than 6, and it takes on average 1 minute to walk up to a door and find the mail and put it in the box, this would save approximately 48 minutes per route times America! The extra storage wouldn't cost more than delivery hours.
