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
