Do you check your mail every day?

[Fizzzzle]

Not your e-mail, like your snail mail.

 

I just kind of got into it with my old employer because the last check they sent me bounced and I didn't tell them until I saw the notice in the mail (honestly I didn't notice before that, I have one bank account specifically for rent/bills that I deposited the check into, and it's not like I'm checking that bank account every day, since I don't use it every day), and he was basically trying to turn the fact that his check bounced into my fault for not telling him sooner. Or something, I don't really know.

 

Anyway, I can't be the only one who doesn't check their mail every day, right? Unless I'm expecting something, I'll check it like... whenever I think about it? So probably like 2-3 times a week?

[Keyser_Soze]

Usually. I'll forget a day every now and then.

[Dodger]

Usually but only for the exercise of walking to the mailbox and getting outside for a few minutes at least.

[Fizzzzle]

My mailbox literally is right outside my door. There isn't an excuse not to check it every day other than I just don't think about it unless I'm expecting something.

 

But like... If something is an emergency, they'll contact me through any of the other dozen, more efficient ways to contact someone in 2022. 

 

As it is now, I just kind of wait until I leave for work, walk past my mailbox and my brain goes "Huh, let's see what in there" and then go about my day. And that happens about 2-3 times per week.

Does checking my Informed Delivery count?

[Jason]

Sometimes I'll even use it after I park my car in my building's garage before getting out to check which way I should go upstairs, one way passes the mailbox and the other doesn't...even though it's about the same amount of walking either way.

My town only has PO Box delivery. Unless I am expecting something I normally check it every 2 or 3 days and might get a few letters of junk mail. 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Yeah, my mailbox is right on front of my house. 

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

I check it twice a day.

[Biggie]

Yes I check my mail every day there is mail delivery.

Nope!

I generally grab it everyday, but I have business mail that comes to my house that actually matters. Since I’ve had USPS informed delivery for years, I do sometimes not bother getting in on a random day here or there if it’s all junk mail

[Best]

Every other day

[stepee]

Only when I’m expecting something. I do everything electronically so typically there is no real reason for anyone to mail me anything so it’s all a nuisance.

Mine comes through the letter box so there’s literally no way of ignoring it.

[Nokra]

I check mine at least once per day, yeah. It's in the lobby of my apartment building. 

[Mr.Vic20]

Mine is across the road and so we check every couple of days. Except for around the holidays, were we check most days to avoid allowing the postal worker to cram things that should be delivered to the door into the mail box.

Mail only comes once a day so why check it more than once @Nokra@Commissar SFLUFAN

It doesn't always come at the same time every day and I'm not always in the lobby at the same time every day.

I'm still learning what time my mail comes. Seems to be around 11am. Then again things change if it's on a Saturday or if the usual carrier is on vacation or something.
