    I think USPS does stellar work, but I have never known my mail carrier. I just can’t find a normal seeming way to run out there while they are delivering mail and introduce myself. Maybe it’s different if you have a house, but I’ve never had one.

      I think it’s more common if you live in an apartment building with lots of units. The delivery person will sit there organizing and unloading boxes for a few minutes before moving on. Houses are lucky to get more than a few seconds with their delivery person before they move on.

        I’ve lived in a lot of places like that, but when I did, the mail carrier did not want anybody to approach them while the boxes were open. They’d always holler that I should come back in 30 minutes and that they can’t give out mail before it is in the box.

        That is part of the reason I never tried to really talk to them.
