It would not bother us in the least if mail was moved from five days a week to three days if it meant more efficient service.
While that may be true for many of us (and for my personal deliveries, I would agree) it would be a huge impact to many in rural areas who depend on deliveries for medication, and small businesses who rely on the USPS for their packages to reach customers. All the small niche product sellers, Etsy makers, Ebay-ers, etc.
More customers would be put off by longer delivery times and reduced windows, opting to shop with bigger places who can afford majorly reduced rates via Fedex and UPS.
The average small business can't compete if their shipment costs $12 to send something that Walmart ships for $4.
