its a good idea to give the postman a bit of a verbal telling off if you think your post is not very good at the moment. During the first lockdown, my post wasnt arriving to my satisfaction, some days you wouldnt see any sign of a postie. The next time he came i had a proper go at him, and told him to sort things out. My post improved dramtically, so my neighbours have got me to thanks for that. Cut a long story short, if a postie has got loads of roads to do and not enough time, he will not miss your road out when deciding, if he knows he'll get an earful the next day.
