What is the mail service like in your home country? Are letters and packages delivered directly to your door, or do you have to pick them up from another location?

Video Script

Hi, I’m Randall. The US mail service is still an important part of the communications system here in the United States, and in our area, mail is delivered between Monday and Saturday. On our street, it’s usually delivered between one and three PM.

And if you want to send a piece of mail, you can stick it in your mailbox, and raise the red flag.
