letter-carriers
Deliver your mail
Letter-carriers are postal workers who deliver mail to homes and businesses along assigned routes.
The term is slightly more formal than mailman and avoids gendered language: The letter-carriers in our neighborhood walk their routes regardless of weather.
In American usage, letter carrier (without the hyphen) is the official job title.
