We've had three in the four years I've lived here, all friendly and helpful.
One even offered to pickup the parcels I had sitting on the hall table when he dropped off my Signature mail.
I have noticed that when we lived in Ottawa, the carriers were delivering letters for the most part. They would take the bus to their route, put part of the load into a corner lock box and return to complete each walk .
Here in Victoria (and four years later), the carriers have trucks rather than the bag.
At a guess, that's a reaction to the decrease in lettermail and increase in parcel mail. Or it may be a regional thing.
I take daily walks so I see the trucks around a lot. I should write down the plate numbers to see if it is one truck or many.
