WASHINGTON—The U.S. Postal Service plans to end Saturday delivery as part of a strategy to halt losses at an agency that hemorrhaged $15.9 billion in
its most recent fiscal year.
The Postal Service is set to stop Saturday mail delivery to homes and businesses on Aug. 1 but will continue to deliver packages that day, a spokesman
said Wednesday. Post-office boxes would continue to receive mail on Saturdays. Postal officials are scheduled to announce a broad cost-cutting plan
later Wednesday.
