This will typically be between 9am and 3pm in urban and suburban areas on Monday to Friday, and no earlier than 7am on a Saturday. There will always be a later collection post box (after 4pm) within a mile of a 'Collection on Delivery' box.

Do post boxes get emptied every day?

Half of all post boxes are to be emptied just once a day as the Royal Mail seeks to cut costs. Late collections will be axed for 45,000 to 50,000 post boxes as postmen and women are instructed to empty them as they carry out their deliveries.

Is it faster to drop mail at post office?

The quickest way is to drop the letter in the post office branch which hosts the carrier route for your landlord. They might have a drop box for 'your ZIP only'. If not, ask. The letter will get hand cancelled (or manually machined) and go straight to the carrier's section.
