What time does you post come?

[FBi7]

We don't have a regular postie. And just when we think we're getting one, they change! It's almost as if no one wants to do our run. Not sure why, we're not exactly off the beaten track.

Today, 3.15pm. Last Saturday was 8.00am. So, even if there was a poll, I'd have to vote pancake!

So many spelling nazi's

Well, it is extremely relevant that the letters go in the right places.

BOOM!

I like how people rate their post service by what time of day it arrives at their house.

 

[SeraphX]

usually the middle of the afternoon, sometimes it's been as late as 5pm
and yeah i remember when the post arrived before 8pm, what ever happened?

 

[Twentyone]

Between 11:00-11:30 ish.

 

[incubation]

Anytime between 9am and 3pm we don't seem to have the same postie for long either so that doesn't help, and the postie that somehow always manages to leave the gate wide open, cheers

Yeah, because having it earlier is of absolutely no benefit whatsoever to anyone .

It definately has some point e.g. a bill that needs to be payed or something.

Varies so much from week to week, usually before 2 though.

Spend 9am to 10am getting the walk ready and sorted then the official time of the first letter delivered is meant to be 1015 a.m Monday to Wednesday, 1030 a.m Thursday and Friday then Saturday it's 0815 a.m for the first letter.

I deliver my last letter anytime from 1pm to around 2.30 pm, this is in Scotland at least.

10:30-11:30am.

 

[DisrupTor75]

Between 10:30 - 11:30

 

[milkinc13]

random times always changes i think it's more of a case of "when postie can be bothered to turn up"

 

[mjt]

I don't know because I have a job.

 

[PMKeates]

Changed..

Tbh you're still being inconsistent.

 

[Cosimo]

I don't know because I have a job.

You get to know these things when you work from home.

Sooner royal mail gets privatised the better our post service is atrocious mail varies from between 11am and 4pm when the posty cN be bothered packets don't get delivered we just get a card through the letter box or handed to you if you open the door to them lazy sod doesn't do packets ever

Have to go the sorting office for anything bigger thN an envelope get mail if I'm lucky twice a week posty says not his fault his walks too big were at the end of it so tough

You get to know these things when you work from home.

Or when you have a wife and kids.

 

[dalepearson]

Mines normally sometime between 1:30pm and 4:00pm. Although it does appear that some days they just dont bother coming.

Why they dont come before you go to work I dont know, it can be a pain in the arse having to go to the sorting office and get the post.

Also they all have vans now, so now they are not having to lug it all on a push bike it should be quicker to some extent?

Oh well, not the end of the world.

Royal mail is a private company... Unfortunately a lot of posties still want them to adhere to the old practices, meaning RM struggling to break even, with their most profitable post taken by other companies, left with the expensive stuff. Yet we still have one of the most reliable postal services in the world, as well as one of the cheapest...

Still our post arrives at about 10, for some reason I still think it should arrive earlier, although it has no practical benefit for 99% of the population, along with the second post..
