Does your postman ring your door bell for Priority Mail?

ms70

I get quite a few coins delivered via Priority Mail. I've lived in the same place for many years & the postman has always been the same
as well. All of a sudden starting about 2 months ago, he thinks he has to ring the damn bell for Priority Mail deliveries. Then he leaves.
I told him once not to do it unless a signature is required & he said he had to make sure I got it. I told him not to do it anyway. If he's
so damn concerned why does he ring & split? He did it again today & we're going to have another talk. I'm tired of the baby waking up
from the bell ringing & the dog barking.

my postman leaves em on the back porch.
priority dont need a sig.
if i get something insured,he leaves it on the porch with the brown form,i just sign it and he picks it up the next day.

I have rural delivery. I don't have proof, but I suspect he's not ringing the doorbell.

No, but they do leave a card in my PO box if the package doesn't fit.

No, but will ring and run with pickages. if insured/registered, he rings and if not there will have to go to the PO to pick it up.

I don't have a doorbell, removed it about 10 years ago.

Can't knock either, house is behind rod iron, nobody can get to the front door either...

So if you want to drop by, call first! Oh yeah, at the beep leave a message...

MadMarty

Yes and he always rings twice!

no doorbell, no mailbox - and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Nope.

We don't have a postman.* Or a doorbell. We do have a barking dog, though.





*(Our post"men" are both women).

Mine rang the bell this morning.

Actually, I don't have a door bell, but Priority mail is left in the mailbox unless a signature is required.

I get most auction catalogs at work. However, my mailman could manage to stuff a car in my mailbox. The hard part is getting what he stuffs in, out!

No, they put it in my box at the post office, and I pick it up at my convenience.

better security than having coins delivered at home. coin periodicals also go to the po box.

Most of the time the postman does come to the door. But occassionally they don't. And sometimes they'll slip a second notice slip in the mailbox when they never put the first one in.

Ditto on the P.O. Box. Thats the way to go.

I have rural delivery - an old fashioned mailbox at the edge of the road.

No, no doorbells for Priority Mail unless signature is required. If not at home, they leave the pink slip to pick up at the PO. They will not leave anything that requires a signature - under any circumstances (and that's the way I want it)

I have tried to use a Post Office Box at one of those "Mailbox" type businesses. But the PO will not leave Registered Mail - they will only do that at a Post Office Box at the Post Office, and I still have to sign for it!!

My Post lady usually just opens the door yells 'Another package Tony!'

The way it should be -and was for me- until about 2 months ago.

HTubbs

It depends, we seem to have a different mailman(or woman) every day.Some don't.Some are nice,some are .....
I even had one who was so lazy that she wouldn't even get out of the truck and just left a notice for the insured packages in the mailbox!!Haven't seen her since though

sTONER

my postman, the best ive encountered in 38 yrs, just raced into my driveway 5 minutes ago, with priority mail, sig needed,so i raced out , so he doesnt have to get out of his truck,, but yes he WILL ring the doorbell if im not waiting for him,,STEVE

jimtre

Yes, I always ring the doorbell (or knock) to let them know something is at the door!

Maybe he is hoping the lady of the house will answer while still in her nightie!!

mirabela

No. He comes rumbling up the driveway and really lays on the horn. Usually he comes by around my little one's naptime, too. Well -- you know the rest.

tsacch

Uhmm....I am just wondering why your dog doesnt hear the postal working coming and bark before he gets to the door......????? A little OT, but what kinda dog?

Goober

Mine rarely rings for packages. I'll hear her pull up (if it's Saturday), she'll drop a note in the box and speed away, then I have to sprint down the road to catch her. She's not my favorite person. We have alot of rural carriers around where I live that just plain SUCK.

I had a PCGS submission package sit on my doorstep for 2 days once when I was out of town.

ziggy29

If the package can't fit in the mail slot in our front door, and if the package isn't insured (requiring signature), our mail carrier rings the doorbell or knocks on the door, leaves a "package left on the doorstep" slip, and moves on.

If it requires a signature, obviously, they don't leave it on the doorstep.
