Mail starts at post offices where it gets sorted by address. Then mail carriers load it into their trucks and deliver it to the right houses. Letters can travel from across the country to your mailbox!
"Do they deliver every day?"
Yes! Mail carriers deliver Monday through Saturday, rain or shine! They work very hard to make sure everyone gets their mail. Sunday is their day off (except for special packages).
"Can I send a letter?"
Yes! You can write a letter, put it in an envelope, add a stamp, and put it in a mailbox. The mail carrier will pick it up and the post office will deliver it to whoever you addressed it to!
