Just wondering around the country what time you get your post delivered?

 

Im so fed up with our delivery :( we get it sooo late. We never get our post before 2pm and somedays its nearly 3pm :shock: which is ridiculous. Not the poor postman/postwoman's fault I know (so im not blaming them). But I can remember years ago when I was a young'un I would eagerly run to the door when the post came before 7am!!

 

Does anyone get their post in the morning and sit and read it at the breakfast table anymore? (like the old days!! :lol: )

Our post is always delivered after I've left for work, usually between 10 and 11. :?

 

I also remember the good old days when your post was brought to you bright and early, before you left for work. :shock:

 

My parents had to cancel their milk delivery via the milkman because he was always bringing their fresh milk after they had gone to work. Which obviously then got warm on sunny days... :roll:

it can be nearer to 4 or 5pm.

 

 

blimey! :shock:

 

I thought 3pm was late! I just find it really annoying, at the moment im job hunting so im awaiting application forms etc so when they arrive late it doesnt give me much time to fill them in and send them by return of post...(I like to be organised :roll: )

Funnily enough though all the places I have worked have always had their post delivered before I get there. :shock:

 

So maybe registered businesses get priority now? :roll:

Ours arrives about 11.45 ish during the week, which is a bit of a pain as I often get work to mark and would love to get this out of the way on a morning.

 

What makes me more annoyed is that it always turns up before 8 am on a Saturday which is typical as I have to sign for it, which means I never get a sleep in :evil:

 

If it can be here so early on a Saturday how is a week day any different? :evil:

Nope - not our business anyway :lol: We get ours between 2 & 3pm. We're in the country though, so I don't know if this has any bearing. Our postman has to do quite a few villages I think. He goes around first thing doing all the "guaranteed before 10am" deliveries, then goes around again doing the other stuff!

Yes, they are done first!

 

Our postman does a town business round first and then our rural round.

 

We get our post between midday and 2pm - Saturdays it is between 8am and 9am.

 

that's on the days when we get any of course..... we still have problems with no post at all at times :evil:

My post arrives between 11am and 1pm on weekdays, and after 8am on a Saturday. Our postie was trialling an electric trike with a huge rigid lockable trailer up until recently, and the post was a lot earlier. Postie could get his whole round in the lock up trailer, along with parcels and such. Royal Mail didn't take up the trikes though, even though the posties loved them :?
