When does the Post office collect mail?

Question

I want to know when the mailman/woman comes around in the morning on average in NYC to pick up mail. Just so I know when the latest pickup and earliest pickup times are for household mailboxes (the ones where you put the flag up to let the mail carrier know there is outgoing mail in the box).

Answer 1

This greatly varies depending on the neighborhood. The post office starts to deliver/pick-up mail around 8 or 9 in the morning in some areas, and they are out until at least 5 pm if they are running on time. You just need to call someone in the area you are wandering about, and ask them or call the post office and ask.

Answer 2

they pick it up when they deliver your mail
