I was walking down the street the other day behind a mail carrier and when I got a look at his bag I was shocked at how low-tech it was: just a leather strap slung over one shoulder. The USPS has probably been using the same design for 100 years. The U.S. military has spent millions of dollars on custom-designed packs for infantry; you'd think the USPS would have issued a bid for a better mail bag and spared its carriers some backache.

Surprising that they still use those overloaded shoulder bags.

Over here it is postal vans and if not, usually local to the sorting office, a custom trolley.

Good luck with the retirement !
