On a Thursday I play Pass the Pigs & Pigmania with 5 lovely 365rs. 3 from the USA, 1 from Canada and a fellow Brit. It is a fun time and we have some very interesting conversations. Yesterday we compared how we receive mail and agreed to share here on 365. As you can see my mail is hand delivered , it is popped through the letter box and either perches there or plops onto the porch floor.
Our post lady is so lazy she drives a van parks up delivers to 5 homes then moves her van a few metres and repeats this for our entire road. All of the houses are in close proximity and she regularly blocks our drive while delivering to our neighbours.
To post a letter we need to go to a good old British red post box or post office.
Love how you composed this one and terroific to see it! There are places in our country that used to receive mail like this but I doubt it happens anymore with the decreased labor force and rising expenses
Our mailbox is at the end of our drive. I remember letter boxes is the front door when I lived in the UK.

A lovely wooden door. People used to get mail that way and then put a box (like Mary's) on the wall near the front door. That's what I had at my last house. In the end, the postal person person would drive the van from house to house, run up and put the mail in the box. But they really had a lot of stuff in the van to be delivered, including packages, so I know they could no longer walk from house to house.
Such a lovely wooden door and how wonderful to get mail delivered that way. I think if I were the postie I would park at one end then walk down one side and back up the other
I love your door. Our post people never come to our houses unless they need a signature. They drive a van to all the neighborhood clusters in our community. We can leave mail going out there, so that is more convenient for us.
Excellent image and narrative and I'm so bewildered that it isn't totally normal in other places to have post pop through your door, or even through a mailbox
Our next door neighbor has a mail slot like this in the door. I think it just depends on the design of the house or when it was built. Nice door there—really fancy to lead to the porch! Are you shooting from the interior or from outside?
