Why tho? I also find it odd we don't utilize the postal service more. They already visit every house 6 times a week.

  In most new construction, the postal worker no longer comes to the home or apartment. They use something called a clusterbox. This is only applicable to the US but my understanding is that the postal service has strict limits when it comes to hiring full time workers. Something about having to account for full benefits or some act of Congress that I don't understand. But the net effect is your postman/post woman likely doesn't know you besides your name. https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-a-Cluster-Box https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-a-Cluster-Box

    Same as in Canada! Older neighborhoods have mail delivered to the door, whereas newer neighborhoods have cluster boxes.

    Those have been standard in apartment complex for a long time where I live. I guess I just still live in one of the older neighborhoods.
