Years ago you used to be able to read your post with your morning cuppa, now some don’t get deliveries till after lunch. What time does your postie poke his delivery through your letter box?

Our comes at 10:15 every morning since they changed his round. They told him he had to go faster so he said to the local manager.

"If you can do the round as quick as I do, then I will agree to knock an hour off the round"

His manager went out with him so he didn't have to learn the round and broke his ankle!

I like 10:15 and just as well, that is how it's gonna stay lol

11:30am is average here, though not a standard round as it is at the start of a rural round, i.e. uses van.

A good postman, as knows which houses to leave stuff with, and gives you time to get downstairs and answer the door (work in loft office). Some couriers ring bell and are back in the van by the time I get down.

gets here anytime between 10.30am and 3.00pm.....can certainly never set your watch by him

about noon here but very little mail these days and we like that. It's a bit like when I was in the drive one day and someone said..."your phone is ringing!"

"Yep, probably"

Sometimes I feel like a pelican.

No matter which way I turn, all I can see is an enormous bill

Between 10 and 11 and on a sat morning have been known to deliver at 8.30am Must be going to the match that day.

My postmen are called Eric and Derek. Derek doesn't do Fridays. Erics son has just joined the army and is in Germany at the mo. Derek signs my special delivery parcels and hides them in the basement if I am out.

I met my postman yesterday as I came home from work at 4 (in the afternoon, that is). Normally though he turns up around 1, rams letters through the letter box or throws parcels over my side fence. Although this one is better than the last one who coupled delivery of mail with a marijuana delivery service, and had the nickname locally of postman pot.

Our normal postie arrives around 4pm... we're the last house on the round in a semi rural area..

Annoying thing is, is he walks 20 yards away from our house at 10am...

If he's off, his daughter is his replacement, and we get our post at about 10am...

Don't knock it at least in the UK they deliver. In many places you have to go collect your mail.

Around 1, but sometimes 3. That said I have a porch door if it's open he'll come in and put the letters in the main door. I live in a very hilly area so poor sod must be knackered by the time he climbs up my road.
