I have a parcel which needs a signature (and won't let me change that) coming between 12:10-2:10pm
I have a dentist appointment from 1:30-2:30pm (I'll be out 1-3pm)
I reckon Mr postman Pat is gonna turn up about 10 minutes after I leave
And my post office is very strict on only allowing pickup after 4 for some reason. Even if the message that it's ready for pickup gets sent sooner, and I can literally see my parcel sitting there, they will not allow me to pick it up before 4

Edit: W E I R D. 5 minutes after posting this I got a notification from the camera somebody coming up the driveway. The usual chatty postman wasn't at my door - a new lady I've never seen before was. She left both of them, including the signature one and by the time I opened the door was already on their electric bike thingy and halfway down my driveway. I hope chatty postman didn't get sacked for being too slow, he was lovely
We have a chatty postman, too! Heβs also lovely.
Cherish your chatty postmen and postwomen. For one day they might vanish without a trace π
Thatβs such a sad thought, Baku!
