Except you aren't supposed to hand anything over to anyone in the street.

Like someone else said I quite often change the order I do the delivery depending where the specials are for so how they can estimate a time I have no idea.
Depends how long you've been on your walk, i was driving between loops when i saw a young lady pushing a pram, knowing i had a parcel for her i stopped and asked her if she wanted it :chuckle , she was very grateful !

I guess most of us who have been on a walk some time and got to know the customers have done little things like this to help them out but officially it's a no no.

It doesn't depend on that. It is Royal Mail policy that mail not be distributed on the street.
