    Our mail comes around 3-4:30. I don't mind; I'm sure he has other routes before ours.

    One thing that bugs me is delivering it to the wrong street! For example, if the address was 123 Boy Ln, for some reason they would send it to 123 Girl Ln.

    Last week, someone two blocks away came here with my mom's book. She needed that book the previous day, and through the tracking it did arrive the previous day... just at the wrong house.

    Then around Christmas, we got bunch of letters to the wrong address. I didn't know it was sent to someone else (I didn't like at the sent address) and opened one up, but it had pictures and a letter, most likely from another relative. So I walked up to the house (a block away), and gave them the letters.

    So far, that is my only complaint about them. Oh... and the consistent changing of our mailman. I just don't know when it's coming sometimes. They rotate between 3 mailman. 2 of them deliver 3:00-4:30, but the other delivers around noon.

    That's why Delivery Confirmation isn't really worth much at all...it will still show delivered even if it is at the wrong place.

    Signature Confirmation or just plain up UPS are the best way to get things tracked.

    Mine is pretty bad but I guess I should just be happy I get mail. When she has something that does not fit into the mailbox she will do one of two things:

    Either throw it out the window if she is in a hurry
    or...
    Lay on the horn and wait for someone to come out

    I get alot of packages going in and out and knowing the strain it puts on my mailman I make it worth his while for what I put him thru with my addiction. He will hold stuff for me personally if I am away, if it wont fit in my mail box he delivers it to my door, ect.

    I used to get my mail deliverd to the house, it was working out pretty well. Only had about 2 packages lost out of 3-400 in the last year and a half. I think I had 2 or 3 different workers delivering it and they all were pretty good, 2PM like clockwork mon-friday. Anyways, I moved out so now I have a PO BOX. Def a good choice, especially in our line of business, here in NY the cold weather can do a number on the cards so I prefer to have my cards in a heated atmosphere, now I can just check the PO 1 or 2x a week and everytime its a sweet mail day.....
