Stamps and sorting
Postal delivery is the system or act of transporting mail from sender to recipient through a postal service.
The term covers both the institutional framework and individual instances: We're expecting a postal delivery this afternoon.
In most countries, postal delivery to residences occurs on a regular schedule, typically once daily on weekdays.
