mailbags
Letter carrier's burden
Mailbags are large, sturdy bags used to transport letters and packages in bulk.
Postal workers load and unload mailbags from trucks and sorting facilities.
The word also refers metaphorically to the volume of correspondence someone receives: The senator's office was flooded with mailbags of angry letters.
