In our area, we usually got mail late. About 4:00PM. During the periods just before Christmas, it was awful. Getting mail 8:00 at night, etc. The mail carriers would walk down the street in the dark with flashlights. I called the post office and yes...complained about it, after we mail delivery (we heard it) after 9:00PM. Latest we ever got it. I have USPS service of showing via email all mail I was to expect on each day. Right now, I run out to check any mail after 4:00PM.

Oh, well "stuff" happens. Literally.

I went to my private post office and picked up two packages today. But one I was expecting wasn’t there. The USPS had the day off delivering some items ...surepost. My Amazon package and pay through Amazon package were delivered. One was actually a day early.
I could not not understand why the other package wasn’t delivered! The owner of my PPO reminded me.

Funny .... I was wondering why there was no mail. I had gone out to get a haircut and all the stores were open. Never realized it was a holiday!

The mail here comes around noon. It didn't dawn on me there was no mail today. I thought it was odd to see a m a I'll truck driving down the street at 4pm. They must have been delivering a package.

@Sweet_Serenity When I was growing up you always received your mail in the morning. Not today - late afternoon at best. Times have changed. ![]()

Thanks for the info, @Mz iMac. I've been writing NO MAIL on all the federal holidays in my planner, but this is a nice backup. Visual aids have always been my friend. ;-)

Growing up we got mail twice a day, morning & afternoon.
Our mm is an early bird. Mail comes no later than 10:00 am.
Where I use to live, I would be lucky to get mail by 5:00 pm! ![]()
