letter-carrier
Postal route walker
A letter-carrier is a postal worker who delivers mail to homes and businesses along an assigned route.
The term is slightly more formal than mailman and avoids the gendered assumption: The letter-carrier left a package on the porch.
In the U.S., letter-carriers are federal employees of the Postal Service.
