    And in the US you can also put outgoing mail in your box and they’ll take it. Super convenient. Why can’t they do that here too since they’re already there?

      They did in rural areas 20 years ago. I grew up on a rural road and it was totally a thing to send mail by putting it in the mailbox and raise the flag.

      Maybe it’s just a rural thing for people with individual mailboxes, or maybe they stopped doing this, but it was possible a few decades ago.
