6 day delivery will go. Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat will remain. No delivery Tue and Thur in rural areas.

PO boxes are through the roof. About 9 times higher than 25 years ago.

Over the years delivery charges in rural areas have been mentioned for privatization. Like $20 a month.

Everything is being stolen from us.
