The U. S. Postal Service has said that it will soon scrap its Saturday mail delivery service, which has been offered since previous 150 years, in order to generate $2 billion a year.

The USPS had indicated earlier that it would scrap the service in order to offset its dwindling revenues. It is believed that the move might not affect the public much as the postal services will continue to deliver mail in regular fashion in other days. Several people do not go to office to pick-up mails as most of it mostly junk-mail.

It has been clarified that if the post office is open on Saturday, the customers will still be able to send mail, buy stamps and other services. The postal staff will continue to deliver packages, medicine and P. O. Box on Saturday.

USPS Spokesperson Ron Perry said, "We're definitely in financial trouble and everything that we're doing to this very day is cost saving measures, it's reaction and we have to do it."

The decision to scrap the Saturday mail service will be implemented in August and is expected to save the Postal Service about $2 billion a year. The USPS said that it will implement the decision in the coming six months and added that no lay-offs will be made because of the decision to scrap the Saturday mail delivery service.
