We don't get ours everyday. We only get it on the days we are out. Our mail box is about 2 miles from our house.

How often do you check your mail?

DH usually picks it up on his way home. Our mailbox is one of the drive up kinds with lots of boxes in one big unit. Sometimes we forget to pick it up on Saturdays, so we'll get it on Sunday or Monday.
*goes to check mail.*
Every other day

I check mine every day. Its just at the end of the driveway so its not a big deal to walk out and get it. I just wait for them to come and put the red flag up so I know its there.
Those of you who do not have locking mail boxes are at high risk of ID theft! Especially if the red flag is up. You don't know WHO is watching and who stops by to "check" your mail.
I'd go to this website and check out some of the things - you may be very surprised!

Our mail can be delivered anywhere from late morning to mid afternoon so I check for it several times/day if I am home. However until Neil gets the new mailpost reconstructed we put out the mailbox on top of a pail mid morning and remove it once the mail is delivered.
Have the lock changed and then give him a copy of the new key
I dont think the landlord will go for me changing the lock.... Its a unit of boxes. The landlord only gave us one key. Awww heck, Ill just steal the key off of his chain, get a copy, and be done with it. At our old apartment I had a copy made for our mailbox and my copy didnt workOriginally Posted by Natalie_ca

I miss my mail carrier. He retired a year ago. He was so nice and knew it was difficult for me to get my mail so he would deliver my mail to my door for me. Now we don't have a regular carrier and it's basically a fill in route or something.
I check my mail once a day.
I try to check it everyday, but sometimes I forget. Particularly on Saturdays if we don't go anywhere. Otherwise I pick it up when we (DH and I carpool) come home from work.
Since I can't leave my apartment without walking by my mailbox I pretty much check everyday. The only time I don't check is on the weekend or if I am at home sick..
I check mine every day.
They put the flag up when they DELIVER the mail? I put the flag up when I am SENDING something. I wish it was the other way around sometimes. Especially when you are waiting for something, and you keep checking it, hoping the mail has run! heheheOriginally Posted by catlover19

I check mine daily when I get home from work. I don't put outgoing mail into the mailbox with the flag up. I prefer to take it to the post office and drop it off....as it's not really out of the way, on my way to work. It just seems safer, especially after my 'Psycho Dan' drama. And, yes, the thought has crossed my mind to get myself a locking mailbox!
Very rarely. Usually the mail is already brought in, because the fiance's parents get it when they get home from work (long before we do!)
Everyday...whoever gets home first usually gets the mail. The only time it sits in the box is if we are out of town for the weekend - and even then it's a locked mailbox (I live in a complex) so I'm not too worried about it. Not that I get much mail anyways, it's usually junk mail and gets tossed right away, but you never know when you might get a package or a nice card in the mail!
Every day at noon, I check (that's when it arrives). I still get excited if I see something with my name on it, lol
