I ask because recently we've been having our mail delivered really late in the afternoon -- into the evening, and last night not at all. I had two packages on the way whose tracking numbers said they were "failed to deliver" at 9:17 PM. Even if the mail truck actually did stop by, which I suspect it did not (the lady on the usps hotline told me that when tracking numbers say it was that late, it usually means the postal carrier didn't even bother coming around), it's unreasonable to expect access to a private home that late at night. (Our mailbox is inside our gate which is unlocked during the day.)

Anyhoo I filed a complaint and found out that in the US, the latest you should expect your mail is actually 5:00PM! I'm hoping the complaint will do something. I want my manga!

This has actually been only going on for about a month; before that the mail always came right around noon. And now I'm curious: what time does the snail-mail usually come? (You don't have to say where you are.)
