We always work something out with our neighbors picking up our mail when we're gone (we'll do the same for them). My only issue (and I don't think it's our neighborhood mailbox people here) is we can mail a card or letter to our kids in the midwest (or vice versa). It can take 2 days......or 10....NOT sure what happens in between. I know that mail gets picked up at post offices then goes to some central sorting place that trucks the mail to the destination. We always tell the recipients that something is "in the mail" and "IF" they don't receive it after (fill in the blank) that they should let us know.
