The USPS’ plan to eradicate Saturday standard mail would have started in August of this year, but it looks like for the moment, they’re putting those original ideas in their back pocket as the organization’s board is currently looking at other ways of increasing revenue, which may include possibly raising the cost of postage stamps.
