"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
- United States Postal Service Motto

The postman, also called the mailman, mail carrier, letter carrier, postie, or mail delivery person, has the important job of delivering letters and parcels to homes and businesses.

Especially during the holiday season, he may deliver presents purchased online or delivered from one family to another.

The postal service has featured in fiction and popular culture as well. Many Western genre films portray the Pony Express, a service in which postmen from the 1800s rode horses to deliver the mail quickly.

Songs such as "Return to Sender" and "Please, Mr. Postman" highlight the postman's role in delivering love letters. The Postman Always Rings Twice is an American film noir based upon a novel.
