No doubt about that. If a letter carrier actually delivered 10-12 letters every 20-30 seconds. And if that's all that needed to happen to a letter. But first, a driver needs to gather those letters, a staff of folks need to sort those letters, then place them in the appropriate trucks, the truck needs to make its deliveries, another sorting occurs at you local PO, and then the letter carrier gets them. And again, all this happens in a day, usually. It's like thirty-seven cents for overnight delivery service within a hundred miles. Across the nation delivery, at thirty-seven cents, usually takes just 2-3 days. Your beloved private companies are charging a dozen dollars for similar service.
And if a letter carrier delivered 12 pieces of mail every 20 seconds he or she would need a mail bag that can hold 17,280 pieces of mail. Some pieces of mail are larger than a standard envelope. Pretty athletic letter carrier, I'd say.
