What time does your post arrive?

The post certainly seems to me to be delivered much later than I remember years ago, when it was around breakfast time (not in the area where I live now).

Something that really did shake me the other day was when I posted a letter and noticed that the latest collection time on the post box was 9.00 a.m.! It used (on the same post box) to be 5.45 p.m. Is this usual now?

Yep, unfortunately this has happened in a lot of places.

Royal mail introduced this collection time in september for around a third of the post boxes in the country....it seems in my area to affect post boxes that are not on main roads or where there is a later collection at another "nearby" box

Whenever I go to various houses in the area asking if they got my post....

Our post comes about 1.30pm,sometimes it is as late as 2.30pm. Can remember when it used to come at 7.30am, but that was a long time ago.

usually 9-10.30 .. in the run up to Christmas, we seem to be on a later shift it's between 2-3pm from nowish until Christmas. Same every year!

Regular post? I thought it just turned up at some random point during the day. I honestly don't know.
It varies between about 8:30 and 4pm here.

It's usually around 9.30 to 10.30 am, but in the run-up to Christmas it's been a bit higgledy-piggeldy. The postie came on Sunday afternoon last week!

Yes, same has happened to my local post box. More annoyingly, the "tags" have disappeared, which told me if the collection had been made for that day (Mon, Tue, Wed, etc).

If it turns up, its some time after 1pm on a weekday. Never been in when it turns up.

We have an annoying address that involves a "dependent street" which lots of companies IT systems cant cope with so half our post is addressed to the wrong address. Most of it tends to turn up to ours but we've had a lot of post "go missing" so do wonder how much has gone to the address, minus the postcode, that many companies insist on putting on the envelope.

Had a chat to our postie the other day and he claimed it wouldnt because the postcodes are different but I'm personally not convinced as we are only 700 yards from each other on the same main road.
