Sometimes when I really need to send something out I hate having to wait til Mondays. Or hate having to wait til Monday's til it is 'possible' for me to get the mail I want. I get Netflix and it's sad I never will get a movie on a Sunday. Have any of you wished you could get mail on Sundays? I know this isn't really possible, jus wishful thinking. ;P

I think mail on Sundays would be nice. In fact, I bet that is something the USPS has considered.
Back in December when the weather went all wacky, the mail carrier would be delivering as late as 9pm. Every once in a while I still see his little halogen headlamp on the porch after 7pnm.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sundays don't get added soon. It would really help their business as UPS and FEDEX charge extra for weekend delivery.

I wonder if that would affect other things in the long run? Like Netflix monthly charges increase cause of more delivery days added since they pay for shipping. I always wondered if it would affect things greatly or if postal workers would get angry Sundays are added. Still it would be so nice. The only reason why I always figured why many things didn't run on Sunday's was because of religious beliefs and things that started decades ago.
I had a Catholic priest that told us that to work on Sundays or to support other people working (like going shopping or going out to eat) was a SIN! I can't believe that, lol.

I know what you mean. It is wishful thinking, but Sundays are my favorite days to kick back and relax with movies. If I could, I'd make sure that I got all three new movies on Sundays, because that's really the only time I watch them anyway.
Everyone needs a day off, but it would be cool if they added it and let poeple get some part time work in, if the current USPS employees didn't want to go for it.

I would love to be able to get mail on Sunday. I am kinda a nerd I guess. I get really excited when I get good mail. The highlight of my day sometimes is checking the mail :)

I think you can get mails on monday - if you are willing to pay a premium (relatively large). Otherwise, you have to take a rest on Sunday. :P
But can't you just dump the mail for the postman to collect when he starts work on Monday?
