Have you ever thanked your mail carrier for bringing you all those postcards to your doorstep, day after day, rain or shine? Now is your opportunity: February 4th is Thank a Mailman Day! :)

Carriers Setting Out on Their Daily Rounds

Leave your mail carrier a note, a treat, or just open the door and say thank you if you’re around… I’m sure they’ll appreciate the gesture!

And if you’re planning to do something special, do share — we’d love to hear about it!

Have you ever wondered how postcards get to you? I mean, we all know how to send them and we know it’s our mail carrier who delivers them – but what about the rest?

Wonder no more – we have found a great video that shows how the magic happens between the sender and the receiver. It documents a sample delivery through the UK Royal Mail but the process worldwide doesn’t differ that much. Enjoy!


Quite impressive, isn’t it?
