What time does your post arrive?

Oddly, my post has always arrived around the same time (10.30) even though I've lived in 3 different counties and different addresses within those.

Got me thinking, what time does your post arrive?

Wins award for most boring thread of 2014.

    Mid to late afternoon here, different times other places I've lived. None has posed a problem but posties here aren't amenable to leaving parcels in a secure place or taking post ( unlike previous rural areas) so we have to go to the sorting office many Saturdays. Which is rather frustrating. ( don't mind posting things at all, but collecting parcels so often can be a real pain)

    Not a clue, I'm not there when it's delivered during the week and it varies quite a lot on Saturdays.

    Our work post generally arrives around half 11 though.

    Pretty sure it varies between 10am and 1pm.

    It's always just bills and pointless advertising crap anyway so I don't tend to pay much attention.

    I've been at home a lot recently due to being made redundant so I've had the time to observe the postal service in my street!

    My post can be delivered at any time of the day, varies significantly. The earliest I've seen it lately is 9.30am the latest 4.30pm. Some days we get two postmen, others, just the one. It is rarely the same postman two days running. Some postmen sit in their van for 15 minutes before getting out and quite often they are not delivering post at all, just leaflets.

    Yesterday, I chased one of the postman up the street to return the envelope that had been put through my door, it was addressed to another street completely.
  • It used to be about 10.30 - 11.00 am but now its about 2.30 pm in the afternoon every day!

  • Ours usually around midday however my parents arrives anything up to 8pm. Which is a nightmare for them as a small business.
  • It varies but usually after 3pm....I live a 10 minute walk from the delivery office.
