| By The Associated Press The Postal Service announced Wednesday that it planned to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages. The details: • Saturday delivery of mail, such as letters and magazines that are going to street addresses, would end. Delivery would be only Monday through Friday. • Mail addressed to P.O. boxes still would be delivered on Saturday. • Post offices now open on Saturday would remain open on Saturday. • Delivery of packages of all sizes would remain the same, i.e., six days a week. • The change would begin the week of Aug. 5. • Officials estimated that the cutback would save around $2 billion annually when it was fully in place.
