How Is Your Mail Delivered?

My mailbox is right outside my front door attached to my house on the front porch. The postal system is still very important. It may be losing ground to emails but I don't think it will completely disappear for a long time to come. The mail that I most hate to receive is junk mail. It's a waste of time, money, energy and wood. From the mailbox to the trashcan, to the dump. That is a waste. My favorite mail to receive are my monthly magazine subscriptions and any orders that I might place online to shipped to me directly. Minnie Mouse is HOT! filmbuff

I have a mail person who bings mail to my house. I like getting cards from friends. Like a new baby, wedding, or christmas type cards. I must admit I do not like my mail person on or about the 5th of every month. This his when the bills tend to arrive. I feel bad for the mail people in the winter. I live in Canada and winters can get cold and very slippery.

Currently I have a letter box through which my mail is delivered, unless the mailman has an off day and leaves some on the step because it is too large to go through the box and he can't wait for me to answer the door. Some people in my street have mail boxes on the wall of their homes, as we had a spate of arson in this area and this led to a lot of people sealing their letter boxes. I think that the whole service of the mailman has deteriorated and that both the customers and staff lose out. The mailman, along with the milkman, used to be the first person to notice is someone were ill, or to miss somebody who should be out and about, thus raising the alarm and rescuing a sick person. They got far more job satisfaction too. Now there are people who just want to earn more and more money and they are not interested in the human element and I suppose that from the point of view that the delivery of the post is actually what is paid for in the service they must feel they are right, but the other, intangible benefit has sadly been lost.

I live in a suburb of Minneapolis Minnesota. The city has a population of around 25,000. So it is a city and not a country town. But I get my mail delivered like a rural route town. My mail box is at the end of my driveway. I think the USPO will be around forever. We still love to werite and not every home has a computer for emails. HAHA! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

My mailbox is at the top of my driveway, just off the road. I still recieve and pay all my bills by snail mail. I don't see the point of letting the banks or companies getting anymore of my money than they all ready do. As for junk mail, I remove all idetification and mail it back in those handy prepaid envelopes. We usually only get cards and letters around Christmas time

How neat it is to hear about your Grandfathers experience of being a mailman sweets! We have a letterbox in our front door (mail slot) someonesmom so we have our mail delivered into the house! I love to receive cards and letters from friends but those bills are just always there! lol I don't think that the mail is becoming obsolete and hopefully never will! xxx

our mailboxes are at the end of our street in a group of mailboxes

its rare i get real mail these days but when it comes it is through the slot in my door. Most commerce these days is done over the internet in this household. So much so is this the case that my youngest daughter was asking what the letter slot in the door was for. She seemed to be of the impression that it was for her friends to knock on the door with blessed be

We have a letterbox at the end of out driveway near the street. The mail gets delivered daily, but we have to go to the Post Office to collect larger parcels. I usually only get bills anyway....So Im not usually excited to go out and collect it...lol.

I live in apartment so we dont have a mailbox as u have,the postman just rings the bell and delivers it to us ,or if none of us are present at home he just drops inside our door so that we can collect when we return or incase of some legal documnet he delivers to the neighbours.

We have a mailbox in our apartment building lobby. We do get a lot of junk mail, but there are Garbage cans for this reason in the lobby and so most tenants throw their junk into the garbage cans there. I absolutely HATE Bills arriving, though we only have three that arrive via snail mail, the others are sent via email. I love receiving letters from friends, and cards for my birthday and stuff. I have a lot of family that live overseas and so they send me stuff through the post for birthdays and Christmas. It's always nice to open the mailbox, especially when I know I'm expecting something :o)

We have a mailbox at the curb in front of our house. The mailman usually comes around the same time everyday. Like you, I hate getting the dreaded bills. Sometimes it seems like they all come at once! We normally have some type of mail everyday. If it's not bills, then it's usually some kind of junk mail.

We have a postie & he delivers the mail in to the mail box at the front of the yard :) If i have more than 1 parcel though, i usually have to pick them up from the post office, if it's only 1 parcel, then it gets put in the mail box at the front - depending on it's size! I love mail, except for bills, but it's important to me because i love to pen pal so i love getting letters & cards etc through the mail & stuff like that. I hope my pen pals will stick around too coz i although e-mail is easy to use, it's just nowhere near as personal as snail mail is!

we have our letterbox placed at the main gate of the house. it has been there for 26 years now and it is still useful, 'twas just repainted last year. most of the household bills, insurance notices, and other mails are delivered by a postman ridin in a motorcyle. he usually delivers the mails thrice a week (M-W-F). whether there are mails coming up or not, our mailbox will be kept intact at the gate.

I'm quite annoyed with the frequent hikes on the price of stamps, but I still send out cards and letters. It is more personal and it really shows that you cared enough. No one wants to pay the postage, but if they can, it's nice to send a real birthday card instead of an online one. But for people who truly can't afford it, that is understandable. I live in an apartment complex, and my mail box is right beside the main office, completely covered by the building if it should rain. It's on the top row, which I'm thankful for since I have back problems. I usually enjoy getting my mail, seeing any cards, any free samples, any checks, and the like. But I haven' checked it the last two days. I don't want to see the bills that are going to be incredibly hard to pay! : )

I get my mail both at a box on the outside of where I live and I also have a post office box at the post office. I get the majority of the mail at the box at the post office but there is a few things that come in my box on my house. I love getting cards from my family through the post office and I hate getting what I call junk mail. I do get catalogs that I order but I am talking about the flyers they put in the boxes.

Our mail is delivered to out mailbox that sits across the street from our home. When we moved here we had the option of having the mail delivered to the box or receiving our mail at the post office. Since the post office closes early we decide on home delivery. We actually get several pieces of mail a day. More junk mail then anything else. I enjoy that packages that we get from EBay the best but of course who wouldn't.
