What time does your mail get delivered?

I've been living in my house for about 6 months. From what I could tell, until the past couple of weeks, mail was usually delivered around 2-3 in the afternoon. But for the past couple of weeks, it's delivered after 5pm - which seems really strange. I get home at 5:15 and when I go to check the mail, it's not there yet. Just wondering if others have gotten such late mail delivery

What time does your mail get delivered?

My parents had this happen at their house. They are not replacing every postal worker as they retire, so some workers now get additional streets on their current route.
Mine varies from 11 AM to 5 PM

Re: What time does your mail get delivered?

Ours used to be like 2 pm and then for a week or so it was coming after dark- like 6 pm.
So odd

It seems to be back to normal now

Re: What time does your mail get delivered?

We get ours late, usually between 4:30-5, but sometimes even later.

Re: What time does your mail get delivered?

Mine is usually 10am.

Our carrier walks because our neighborhood pretty much all still has their mailboxes attached to the house.

I sometimes see her out at 5pm in the area delivering.

Re: What time does your mail get delivered?

it used to come around noon i thought and if i checked it between 2-3 it would be there. now it doesnt get delivered until at least 3 and most of the time if i check before 4 it is usually not there.

Mine now has been coming after dark. Used to come by noon in the past.

Do you live in my neighborhood lol? Our mail carrier is on leave so our delivery went from 2pm to after 7 most days.

Re: What time does your mail get delivered?

Mine has always come late, but lately it's even later. I am always friendly with ours. Just seems like this time of year with the extra mail and packages it slows them down. Maybe after the holiday season it will go back to normal.
Usually comes around 3 - 4PM. Sometimes closer to 4 - 5PM depending. This past few weeks I do notice it's been coming between 6 - 7PM. Tons of holiday cards and packages.
I'm in NJ and they drive to the mailbox, but ours does put packages by the front door so I would figure shutting off the mail truck and getting out to each front door takes more time.

We have a late delivery. Usually anywhere between 4-530pm. We’re on the tail end of the route. Plus we have the best mailman that takes his time. For example, when we get a package he drives all the way up our long hill of a driveway, parks and gets out, rings the doorbell and waits for me to answer to hand deliver. So I’m sure he does that for everyone along the route and takes time.

All different times, but it has been that late. Some days, they skip delivery.

Re: What time does your mail get delivered?

Usually around 2 pm.
Occasionally much earlier, or if our regular carrier is out and there’s someone different, it could be as late as 4 or 5.
Just yesterday I was driving at about 6:45 or maybe even later and I saw a carrier still walking her route delivering mail in the dark wearing reflectors.

Mine must come somewhat early because the earliest I get home is 5 and it’s never not been there.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it delivered and I couldn’t even tell you what our mail carrier looks like, never mind their schedule!

Between 4:30 and 5:30. Closer to 4:30 if it is the regular guy. If it is a sub, 5:30. Sometimes, later.

With the holidays, I feel like it gets later and later.
