I'm very curious as to when your mailman shows up to your house. I was living in balcones heights, and our mailman would show up between 4:30 to 5:30 pm, kinda late in my opinion, I now live by st. marys university, and for a while the mail would arrive by 10am, which was great!! but as of the last 3 days, its been arriving at 5pm, just when I thought the waiting was over when I moved..lol

Usually between 3 and 4pm for me, which is fine for me since I don't get home until around 5 pm. My parents get there mail pretty consistently around 10 am.

For me, the delivery time isn't very consistent, but I would say about 3 PM is average. About 1 PM would be the earliest, and sometimes it's after 5 PM. I know one day a few months ago it didn't arrive until 6:45 PM.

My street has curbside delivery by motor carrier, but most streets in my area have door-to-door delivery on foot. I've seen the same carrier that delivers on my street delivering mail earlier in the day on foot to nearby streets with door-to-door boxes. I think they do the curbside delivery streets last.

Years ago when I bought my house, the mail delivery time was pretty consistently 10-11 AM. I live in an older area that was substantially built-out by the mid-1960s, so it's not like a lot of new development pushed back the delivery times.

Delivery time is once per week, whenever I go collect it. PO got tired of me not collecting the mail very often, due to being away.They told me if I want it, I gotta come and get it. So, that's what I do.
I'm getting ready to tell them to just throw any mail out!

For a while it was at about 5:15 - the mail dude was there when I got home from work. But now it's pretty consistently before 4:00 because my husband picks it up when he gets home from work.

I get home at 2:30pm and the mail is usually here. On the weekends it shows up by 11:00, noon at the latest...

Boerne post office --- usually between 2pm - 3pm ...

TONY --- my mom and dad live by St. Mary's ... actually, on 1 of the 3 streets behind the fire station off of Culebra Rd, if you know where that is ... ANYWAY... my mom is always complaining about their mail delivery times as it varies greatly from week to week --- usually it gets there pretty late, after 4pm... Mom also started noticing that they always seem to have a different mail person... Finally she started talking to them and they have all said the same thing... the mail route for that area is very, very large and nobody wants it... So that route seems to fall to either new people or people coming back from a leave of absence or something like that... Everyone has told my mom that as soon as they are able to bid off of that route, they do, since it's such a large route... Apparently it should be broken into 2 routes, but for whatever reason it has not been done... I don't know where by St. Mary's you live, but if your mail person is the same one that delivers at my mom's house, then that would explain why you are getting your mail so late...

About same here (Westcreek)...never a mail truck, but always a civilian car and no uniform (probably a part timer waiting for full time). Also, get others mail sometimes and my mail has been mis-pitched a couple of times.
