It is rumoured that the US postal service will be ending deliveries of letters on Saturdays. A worrying thought for those of us that plan the timely delivery of mailings to customers. If this proposal goes through in the US, how long might it be before Royal Mail decides to follow suit here in the UK?
Currently, it is said that the proposal is only applicable to letters and parcels will continue to be delivered on Saturdays. This must have meant a huge sigh of relief for many companies and their customers. It’s difficult to imagine hour growing e-commerce could successfully continue if there were no deliveries on a Saturday. Especially with many consumers eager to receive items over the weekend when they are more likely to be in to receive them.
