I used to obsessively check the mail for the New Yorker, but the mail delivery is so sporadic here that it doesn't come regularly any more. So I cut back on checking the mail, and Mrs. Bee picks up the slack.
Mostly we just get solicitations in the bill... plus the occasional card from a friend. Plus magazines and catalogs. Nothing too exciting...
Who checks your home (snail) mail: you or your SO? Someone else entirely?

DH loves to check the mail. I try to leave it for him so that he can open the mailbox when he comes home from work.

I'm the mail checker here. I think in 3 years DH has checked maybe 6 times? I'm crazy about getting my bills and paying them right away so I check the mail every day.

Hubster. He grabs it every day when he gets home from work. But I actually open it and deal with anything that needs to be done (paying bills,etc).

My hubby gets the mail because he comes home shortly after the mail is delivered. Unless it's summer and I'm off work... then I'll venture down the driveway to check it.

Me! We only have one mailbox key (live in an apartment complex) so I begged to keep it on my key ring. I love opening up that little gold box 
simple pleasures.

It depends on the day, although it's the post office for us. We don't get mail delivery to our home.

I love getting mail so I'm the one that checks it every day. I like the surprise of what's coming even though it's usually bills and it gives me a chance to get outside for a minute and get some fresh air.

Usually me. DH is always on the road, so I always get it. When he's home, I always insist that I get it...it makes me feel like a grown up!

The mail (or the post as we call it here) comes through our front door - so whoever gets in first picks it up off the hall floor and the person it is addressed to opens it!

DH since the mail room in the condo is on his way in from where he parks. I am sure once we move into the house, it will be me.

I do most of the time, a lot of the time it's around when DH gets home so I can go outside and greet him!

I ALWAYS check the mail. The only time Hubs will check it is if he's expecting a package. I also sort and open all the mail, including Hubs' because I know he'll just let it pile up if I don't go through it for him.

I get the mail.. I don't think DH even has the key. I gave it to him when we moved into the house, and he misplaced it.

My husband grabs it when he gets home from work.

DS! He loves riding his skateboard to go do it & now that's he's tall enough he requests the task often!..... That's what kids are for right?! lol

My husband does, he's home more often than me (works from home if his work isn't busy), so he checks it. I'll check it every once in a while, but he usually gets to it first.

I check the mail, but only 1 - 2x a week. There's hardly anything exciting that comes in the mail these days, hah!

Me, but I think my mailman hates me because I check it maybe once or twice a month and the mailbox is usually stuffed with ads and flyers.

Either of us will get the mail from the mailbox, but it's always me that goes through it.
