How often do you get mail? What do you usually get in the mail when you do get mail? What was the most recent interesting (that is, not junk mail or bills) piece of post that you received?

I don't get mail as often as I'd like. When I do get mail, it's usually random pamphlets and flyers from various clubs and organizations around campus. The most recent interesting mail I received were some posters for my room!

Once a month. Bank statements telling me that I am very rich and fabulous. A postcard with a jackalope on it! (who could possibly have sent such a thing?) :elk:

I get very little mail. I've gotten about two things in the mail in my one month stay at college so far.

I get a fair bit now while universities are fighting over me (oh what a lie) and rejection letters for jobs. Week before last I got a postcard from Japan though which was a nice change. I enjoy getting post but, sadly, I rarely get any that I'm particularly pleased to see.

I rarely get mail. Just my monthly bank statement.

I get a few bills (or other similar things from companies I'm a customer of) every week. Once every 6+ months I get a parcel from NZ, which is awesome. I get a few Christmas Cards sometimes, too.

I don't get much mail. I only get bank statements, pay slips & other work/college related things.

In the month of November I get Birthday cards from my family in Newcastle, and in December I get Christmas cards!

I got some books mailed from someone generous at Bookmooch! :)
I would like to have books mailed to me. I'm desperate enough to leave my address here. :jess:

I get lots of mail -- tax receipts for my job, annoying 'you have been approved for really terrible credit cards', and other such spam.

I don't communicate via snail mail any more, so I don't get any legitimate letters T_T

Not that often. It's usually only when I've ordered something on the Internet and get it by mail, or when I get a letter from my bank that says how much I have on my account.

I get weekly editions of The Economist, bank statements once a month, occasional letters from uni or the money people, and whatever I order off Amazon.

To my recollection, I've only ever got two bits of junk mail addressed directly to me.

And this morning I got a letter from Boston (America, not Lincolnshire) which was a pleasant surprise.

I'm lucky if I get a letter a year. Email I get tons of, but rarely actual mail. It would be nice to get more.

I get stuff every now and then. Last thing I got was a T-Shirt I ordered, and I should've gotten something a week ago but it's not here yet... :eep:...

My aunt sent me a card last week with some photos from my cousin's birthday party.

Yeah, she uses a film camera and mails me hard copies. She has issues.

Ouch!

I've been getting an awful lot of mail from the bank regarding my new checking and savings accounts, and I've had a steady supply of packages arriving through UPS from gamestop.com.
