What about all the energy and fuel saved? Doesn’t any of you folks out there care about being greener? Getting rid of Saturday is a huge step to making our environment more sound. Remember folks, Canada only has m-f delivery and they are doing just fine

UPS: Did you not learn anything about the financial system after the last financial collapse? The only businesses allowed to fail when **** hits the fan are the mom and pop and small businesses because they don’t count for a hill of beans next to the big businesses that pad politicians pockets on both sides of the isle. 98% of the big businesses that were responsible for the financial wreck in 2007-2009 were pulled out to safety by the government from politicians on both sides of the isle (after all, you have to protect those that invested in your elections – it is the only way to get reelected in a system where money, not ideas, rules the day).

Thus, you can rest assured that while large-scale private industry and business cannot print money, they intimately know the ones who can print it and hand it over to them on a whim. The only difference is that those companies seem to escape the continual bombardment of financial mismanagement criticism that the US Government run programs receive solely because they are run by the government. If you want to talk about a welfare system that is financially destroying the US, look at the corporate welfare system.

Julia – you say “just another notch in how the econoy is going down” – I say it’s just another notch in how horrible the government is in running a business. UPS and FedEx aren’t in this financial trouble, and guess what – if they did they would be out of business – last time I checked UPS can’t print it’s own money… just a thought

Just one problem: When federal postal workers take Mondays off for federally-observed holidays, that means Netflix (and all mail for that matter) will NOT be delivered for 3 days (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday).

Actually if you receive your mail at a Post Office box you will still get mail delivery on Saturday. Something to think about!

I work for netflix, and when I first started we only worked mon – fri. july of 09 we started working sat, its great for ppl who need extra hours. However rather sat delivery ends or not is not in our hands, if it does it does, just another notch in how the econoy is going down. and FYI we the openers dislike several in a package, as there are time the post office mangles them going thru their machines, hence the reason one is sent in each postage paid return envelope thank you

Denny: They say you can double-up. Never had a problem doing so.

FYI—The postage-paid return envelops for Netflix are meant to hold a single disc—not two—and even then some of the Postal Service’s high-speed automated equipment won’t pass the mail pieces without tearing them up. Streaming video would seem to be the wave of the future for home video on demand.
