mail delivery

Bringing the post

Mail delivery is the service of transporting letters and packages from senders to recipients, typically through a postal system.

The term covers both the institutional process and individual instances: Mail delivery is slower during holidays, I missed the mail delivery this morning.

It can refer to the profession, the route, or simply the moment when mail arrives at your door.
