Just be grateful that we still have deliveries to everyone's front door,

I'd rather cut deliveries down to three or even two a week if it would cut
the
cost of postage.


Sadly it probably wouldn't. And with online shopping such a key part of the
Royal Mail's business there'd be fierce opposition to reducing the speed of
delivery or else a decamp to incompetent couriers.
