The Postal Service has announced it will be releasing a proposal this week to discontinue next-day service options for first-class mail.  Next-day service will change from one-to-three days to two-to-five days.  With many financial challenges the Postal Service is facing, signs are showing it could become even more troubling without taking action

The National Postal Policy Council (NPPC) will have to make a tough decision this week to help keep the company afloat.  In a recent CNN report, Art Sackler, executive of the council stated, "This isn't a change we're happy about.  But if they don't cut somewhere and substantially, they're going to run out of cash next summer. It's one of the lesser evils."

With their current state, it may be the right move.  The report further mentions the Postal Service is facing another 20% lower mail volume period, which is the second recent occurrence and they have accumulated over $5 billion in debt in 2011.  Yet at the same token, they have to pay another $5.5 billion for health retirement funds by the 18th of December.

If the Postal Service change does occur, courier companies will still be an option to depend on for these low cost, fast delivery services.  Atlanta Couriers like AQuickDelivery specializes in same-day service nationwide and even next-day in the Atlanta area.  This will be vital for timely company documents and local customer bill payments, which the Postal Service normally provided.
