mailman
Brings your bills
A mailman is a person who delivers mail to homes and businesses, typically walking a regular route.
The term assumes male gender; letter carrier and mail carrier are neutral alternatives.
The mailman comes around noon.
In American English, mailman remains common in casual speech despite official preference for carrier.
