What time does your Postie show up?

Boring Straw Poll alert!

I’ve recently moved to a new house which must be on the end of the Posties route…typically post arrives about 4pm. Massive difference to the 10am where I used to live. Apparently the norm pre covid too.

Is everyone’s post generally later these days? I used to remember Postie friends finishing at 2pm for the day!

Usually around 10-11am

RedRobyn2021 · 21/12/2021 19:58

Around 1pm :-)

Our Normal postie is about 11am.
If he's off it can be about 2pm.

Used to be daily at 2pm M to F. Say was 11am.

Since Covid, we consider it to be good if we receive a delivery 2 x a week. Apparently 55% of the RM workforce is currently off sick atm in my neck of the woods.

We live in a big town - post arrives around 4pm, maybe later.

Usually around 6.30pm. This time of year he's still out at 8pm some nights.

Never heard of a postman delivering after midday. I honestly thought they stopped delivering at that time.

Usually the post comes between 9 and 10 but always before 12.

Usually around 4pm, we’re at the tail end of our postie’s round.

Now I'm shocked. Wtf.

In 2006 it was 7.30 am
Edged later and late until about 11.30am

Now anything up to 9pm

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 21/12/2021 21:44

About 3 times a week at the mo.

Last time I spoke to one, our round has been offered as "optional overtime" (even thought it's a fairly easy estate to deliver to) so fuck knows when the next one will be 🤷‍♀️

Usually late morning, though in my part of London we haven't had any post at all for 2 weeks...
