ITT, we discuss real world solutions to the problems with the US Mail Service.
I think they should only deliver every other day. One side of the street gets their mail on M,W,F, the other side gets their mail on T,Th,Sat. Addresses within the same cul-de-sac are grouped on the same day. Rural areas are broken down by miles covered. If you had a special over-night or 2 day package pickup or delivery, then the mail carrier would be in front of your house (or at least near it) all six days, but it would cost extra to deliver or pick up if it wasn't your delivery day. Would be able to reduce the number of letter carriers by 38% (mocat did the math, so I might me a little off).
