How many mails you have a week?


It has been a life routine to check my old fashioned postman mails everyday; otherwise those PO guys gonna ask me to rent a larger box. Sometimes it's not a fun things to drive to downtown to get it. So wondering how many mails you all have every week.

I have slighly less than 100, total of my own house and PO box.

Most of them are magazine; IEEE, Java One, computer world, and the stupid DELL magazine that keeps asking me to buy something.

Bills, banking statement and other mails that I don't generally like.. Heh, have to pay bills.

Post some figures here, let me know I am the worst one.

I get an average of 800-1000 emails a week. I'd say about 15% are junk mail, the rest are legit business-related.

Not email, Vito, mail.

Maybe 10 or so things a week for me... my PO box generally stays pretty empty.

You see? We old guys need to get our eyeglasses replaced more often...

I get about 20-30 per week. Most of them are my wife's credit card statements...

100 ish. But it keeps increasing. I've gone to a couple of trade shows lately, and that's the surest way to get on multiple mailing lists. But the upside is I get lots of free mags from the shows. Junk mail bothers me much less than junk email.

I'm getting about 20 things a week. The army, marines, nation guard, air force send me something each week, then some colleges, Then I get all the crap for senior pictures, and then just junk mail. I guess I'm a hot commodity or something.... not really sure why.

I don't think there was an "E" in front of the word Mail. Maybe I'm missing something though...
