Has anyone had issues with their mail this week? As in. the mailman stopped coming? We haven’t gotten any mail but have also had mail waiting for pickup for 3 days. It’s just poking out of the mailbox waiting to be picked up. But no mailman. :(

Best answer
Yes, but it's only when we don't have our regular mailman. Every once in a while we get this mail woman in the neighborhood. We don't get mail when she delivers. Which was 2 days last week, and 1 day this week.

happens the same way in our area as well. We are lucky that our regular guy rings our doorbell when we have a package, he’s the best.

Not this week, but we had issues a few weeks back when our regular mail lady was out sick for a bit.

the little flag on mailboxes is to indicate you have outgoing mail to be picked up.

well, they are supposed to. Ours often get missed in our wall mounted box so we usually drop it in a blue box just to make sure it goes out that day.

At my last house we had a mailbox with a flag. I‘d lift the flag up and the mailman always took my mail and some packages. Now at my new place, my mailbox does not have a flag. It’s one of those that’s attached to the side of the house. I tried leaving some out going mail the other day and the mailman didn’t take it .

Maybe you have a replacement? When our mailman is on vacation, the sub often neglects to pick up outgoing mail.

Vaughan I think she may actually have our mail person! But I agree when Our regular person isn’t doing it, I see the subs skip our house a lot- especially on Saturdays.

Monday she didn't come (I get my work via mail every Monday) but she did bring it Tuesday. It had a sticker from LAX on it so the USPS had sent it the wrong way first (it was coming from CO). Same thing happened 2 weeks ago, but it didn't come til Thursday.
