If you have mail delivered to your residence and you've taken note of it.

The delivery on my street is inconsistent, I think the earliest I've seen it brought is around 10:30am and the latest was after 4pm. If I had to guess, I'd estimate the average time is around 12:30pm.
 

About noonish here. It all depends on how close a holiday is, what the weather is doing. Being a country delivery traffic isn't a consideration.
 
11am within a few minutes of that....

We used to have a 7am delivery then second mail at aroud 11am.. that stopped a long time ago, and the early mail got to be 8 am..then 9.. then 10...went eventually to 2pm... then back to 11am... but now we only get mail every 3rd day ..no mail on Sundays..except parcels...
 

Ours is about 2pm M-F and about 3pm on Saturday. But before Christmas, mail can be delayed until 5pm due to extra time with packages.

But if I have a most important letter to send, the mail will generally arrive about 5 minutes before I can get to the mailbox, or so it seems! šŸ„¹
 
Anytime between mid-morning and mid-evening. Usually early afternoon.
A few times I've seen the little mail trucks in the parking lot twice within a day.
I guess it depends on which carriers are driving, and/or how much mail they have to deliver.
 
No residential delivery here and we get the privilege of paying PO box rental which is supposedly not legal. The mail generally takes 1 day from delivery at the PO to hit the box and same w packages.

USPS does virtually all the last mile deliveries from Fedex, UPS, and DHL. We are highly dependent on our post office and the many hardworking people there.
 
Generally between 1 and 3 most afternoons and mostly closer to 3.
When I first moved here, it was 11 in the morning for years. I liked that.
USPS used to be more consistent around here.
Now I'm just glad to get my mail.
98.73% of the time it's even in my mailbox and not the neighbor's box.

That's cool. I'd like that. There are days when I'm looking for something important, and if it's an un-tracked parcel post, it would be especially nice. Other than that my mail man is quite dependable. Years ago I would sometimes meet my mailman at the box, and I told him I could set my watch by him. He laughed and did some kind of body language thing to indicate that I probably shouldn't get used to it.

You can go to usps.com and sign up for "Informed Delivery." It's free, and supposed to send you an email whenever you have incoming mail or packages.
 
Here it's a group mail-box bank for about 60 residences, down the road, with very sturdy,well-locked individual compartments. We consider it pretty convenient. We can walk to it if we want. I'm guessing there are maybe eight or so of these banks within a ten- minute drive. Delivery is five days per week, minus official holidays during the year.
 
This driver arrives around 11 a.m. It doesnā€™t really matter since thereā€™s rarely any mail. Itā€™s a community mailbox for our subdivision. There are 5 within 5 minutes of here. No mail on the weekends.
