- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
Usually it comes sometime between 1 and 3, but it's come as early as 11:30 and as late as 4:30.. I hate inconsistency!

Noon-ish

Between 2:30 to 3:00 pm, depending on if the old ladies are out and want to gossip with the mailman. He's a middle-aged drunk who drives the truck like a golf cart, so it's fun as hell to have him around the neighborhood. Since we live in an older part of the island (built in the 60's during the start of the space program) our drunk mailman adds even more character to our charm.
(I'm not being sarcastic - the post office here is filled with characters. I keep telling them they ought to get the writers from 'Northern Exposure' to make a show about them.)

Between 10 and 11 am if they're on time. Otherwise can come as late as 5.

There's no rhyme or reason. It comes whenever. Our mailman has moods, sometimes he'll come to the door, sometimes he leaves a "sorry I missed you" when I have a big package and he doesn't want to get out of the truck. Even when I'm home and ready to get my mail.
We live in a kind of rural area, and we have no side walks, and our mail box (they look like the ones in Mayberry RFD) are about 75 feet or more from our houses.
My Mailman told me not long ago, "Wow, you get a lot of packages." I just smiled and said, "Yeah, I do." Ain't none of his business....

I wish it was more predictable, but living in the city, I understand that volume variation can impact the delivery schedule.

We are on a rural route but it's sort of the middle of the mail carrier's day so it's pretty consistent, and Sigel has a working relationship with the two carrier's that we have on our route so we get our mail around the same time everyday. That's the nice thing about the job he has is he makes contacts that make sure his services are interruption free.

This is a very very interesting thread. Never knew others schedule so I find it interesting. Mine comes between 12 noon and 1 pm. Sometimes, If I am expecting something great to come... it wont come till 3 or 4 pm, and that I am sure is just to piss me off.

I know, right? It's like they know and either hold it or in a case I had, deliver it to the wrong house, then swear up and down they delivered to the right house and that it's 'not their fault.'

Murphy's mail law?

I needed more than one choice for this.
The USPS mail comes at 10am for letters and 2:30pm for packages.
USPS comes at 1pm
and Fedex comes at 3pm
I get multiple delivers almost every day, so I got this down to a science lol.

Mine goes whenever the hell it feels like it! lol We have a few different mail people, so their schedules vary.
09/22/2010
One time UPS couldn't find my home (weird address issue), so they went and stamped it "DENIED!" Can't tell you how angry I was...
09/22/2010
I heard that the USPS will soon stop delivering mail on Saturdays. Has anyone else heard this, or have they stopped delivering it where you live?
09/22/2010
Mine comes at 10:30-10:45. In the year or so we have been here it has always came at this time, even when it snows.
Still getting mail on Saturday Lucille Bluth, had not heard anything about that.

I have to wait until the afternoon. Which is TORTURE because I do lots of mail art and postcarding.
09/22/2010
Ours is a really screwed up route - sometimes it shows up at 1pm, other times 6 or 7pm. Last week they delivered mail to our house - right number, wrong street.
09/22/2010
Arrrrgh I never know when it's going to arrive. Some days it's there by noon, some days it's not there til four
09/23/2010
My mail arrives at different times, depending on who the mail person is that day. I believe one time we had our mail at 9:30 in the morning once and another time we didn't get it till 4 in teh afternoon.

Mine is at like 2-3pm, occasionally we get it around 1 and then sometimes it's as late as 5! So, we never know around here! lol

Ugh, speaking of subs, we have subs this week... again.... And my first free item for a review comes I think on Friday.... I leave at 10:30 for work, and watch them come after. I just hope my dad won't be mr. nosy. ><;

Oh, this has happened to us, too. We are NOT available on Map Quest, so some carriers just deny we exist. "Are you sure that's where your house is? I don't think there are houses there, just woods." Yeah, I live in a tent in the fucking woods and have NO idea where it is? They're just lazy. Sometimes Fed Ex has done this, despite the fact that our regular driver is good, and on time "fill ins" are idiots. Forget DHL, they can't find their own asses with both hands.

LOL My ex-husband bullied the Fed-Ex people when we lived in Montana and had a cottage in an apple orchard. Their maps always said that our address was across the road and in a pasture about a hundred feet away, and my ex would say over the phone "Are you going to believe a map that hasn't been updated to local postal routes or the people who live here who want their stuff delivered? I'll fucking stand outside so you can see me if you'll take your damn eyes off the GPS."

I've done this. I have stood in the road and yelled at them. Once, on Christmas Eve, a rinky dink delivery firm, who Amazon hired for cheap, couldn't find our house, and got stuck in a ditch about 1/2 mile from our house, claiming he was "right out in front of where your house is supposed to be."

I drove my car until I found him (we have no street lights where I live) then found him and his stranded car, loaded with packages. I walked up to the car, got my packages, (presents for EVERYBODY, as I get everybody from my nieces and nephews to my kids to my husband books for Christmas) then asked the guy "How the f&$% did you get into that ditch?" Then I called Road Service and the Police to get him out and went home, because we were having, like 1000 people over the next day, and I had to cook and wrap presents and BE with my family etc. I did run down there about an hour later and they were towing him out. HOW does on fall into a ditch? I've lived here 20 years and have yet to do so.

My mail comes around 3-4! I'm always excited because Im always getting some kind of packages!!! (:
