Did anyone get regular mail today?

I'm asking for a couple of reasons but mainly just want to know because of the holiday, the reduction in force at USPS and what I experienced during the 4th holiday.

On the weekend of the 4th, I saw the mailman drive into the neighborhood, but he stopped at about every 5th house and was out of here in record time.

Today, no mail...obviously, but I wasn't here to see if he just passed me by or if he just didn't deliver at all.

I suspect I will see the same thing tomorrow that I saw on the 4th holiday...he will deliver sporadically, enough to keep people from bitching but not enough to get my packages to me!

TIA!

The regular mail came today. The post office was also open, ( I needed to send off some packages and there were regular hours)

The mail also gets delivered on sat., but the Post office, where I'm at closes early, around noon.

You probably just had no mail today, as I notice that fridays and saturday's the mail
is minimal most of the time.

You know, I've noticed that also. I wonder if they leave the main place earlier before the rest comes in, because I get hardly anything on Saturdays, and a bunch on Mondays. I guess I could check to post dates to see.

Ok now you got me thinking....Hmmmmmm banghead

I get mail everyday, be it junk, bills,catalogs or packages. I wish I was here to watch him do what he did over the 4th, selectively deliver. I've seen it done here for years - same mailman, same habits. If I was home I would have went outside when he was in the area to make sure he stopped.

That's why I looked on their site to see if maybe they took 1/2 day off today and maybe 1/2 day off tomorrow. Of course, could be just my mailman taking time off too.

I know many PO's are going to be shut down in my area real soon, one of two in my city for sure.

Okay, thanks all.
