What time does your post arrive?

We're lucky if anything comes to our house. The postmen (Royal Mail not the orange ones whoever they are) seem to 'accidentally' deliver our post to next door. Every. Single. Day.

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?

Well if you read the label,thats not what it said.

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).

Day tags should still be in use.

Years ago it use to be about 8am.

Normally between 3-4, luckily the postman just opens the door and sticks any parcels in the kitchen as he tends to arrive when my husband is off doing the school run, and he knows I can't get to the door in time.

I generally know he is in the house because the dogs go into a frenzy of happiness as they really like him lol

Of course when another postman tried it during our posties annual leave he was met with very angry dogs, who went batshit crazy that there was a total stranger in the house. He didn't do that again...

Hopefully this wont restart the prior post where people thought it was terrible that a postman would go into someone's property.

Haha sorry!

Thing is we live on a farm, only 3 houses in our postcode very rural, the type where people only use the back door, hell half the time I forget I actually have a front door as it never gets used. It's just the done thing round here, and as he knows it takes me ages to wheel myself to the door he just pops things in the boot room or kitchen, gets his cuddles from the dogs and leaves. If we minded we would just lock the door, or tell him to stop.

He's a lovely bloke, and will be getting a nice big tip this Xmas

Weekdays, around 11am. Sometimes will get three different posties in a day delivering small packages. Saturdays, it comes around 0700 and wakes us up.
