The report I heard was that they would continue to "deliver" packages and Express Mail. But outgoing and the offices would be closed.

From what I've gathered is the Po will still be open but normal mail delivery will not happen. There for I see no reason not to use another way of shipping. Saturday deliveries is one of the only reasons I use USPS

Slightly off-topic, but related in that it might be one (of many, I'm sure) wasteful reason the USPS has to cutback. I've never seen this before, so let me know if it's my town or if this is now country-wide. My mail carrier actually has to scan my mailbox when he drops of my mail! There is a little barcode there for him and he carries a scanner (this was an issue when I wanted to change mailboxes, I had to keep the old one there for about a month). That sounds pretty crazy, but it gets worse: he has to do it even if I have no mail that day! That's right, he has to hoof it up to my door empty-handed just to scan the box!
