The Post Office weighs ending postage due mail as impractical in modern society. It would treat underpaid mail as no postage, returning items to senders. The change would cut collection time and costs for the postal service and senders, sparing carriers from chasing small amounts. Public comments are invited to USPS Headquarters in Washington.
