U.S. Postal Service: Another Looming Crisis

Among the printers that haven't taken a position on the topic of five-day delivery is Quad/Graphics of Sussex, WI, one of the nation's largest mailers. All things being equal, no one wants to see a diminishing of service, notes Joe Schick, director of postal affairs for Quad.

No Saturday Delivery?

"If we were completely confident in the amount of annual savings to be realized, and that the loss of a day of service would not be detrimental to our customers' businesses and our ability to efficiently transport mail, it would be easier to accept and then support," Schick says. "But we still feel it should be the last thing the USPS should do after all other options have been explored."
