mail service

Postal carrier system

Mail service is the system for collecting, transporting, and delivering letters and packages.

It typically refers to government-operated postal systems: The mail service here is unreliable.

Private carriers like FedEx and UPS also provide mail service, though these are more often called delivery services or shipping services.
