How often do you get packages?

[heyrebekah]

I have all my packages sent to work. Things have gone missing from my front porch once too often.

[countthestars]

Probably about 1x per week. Mostly stuff from Amazon Prime, but also some gifts and other things. I live in an apt and have to sign for everything, but it's NBD because I WFH.

I probably order more than I would if I worked in an office.

[catbus]

I'll say weekly. I actually feel oddly self-conscious about getting too many packages... like last week, I ordered a bunch of little things from Amazon with our baby registry completion discount. Total spent was like $180; not much. But the stuff came in five different packages on the same day. And then one small item was missing from the order, so Amazon had to resend it and I got another package the next day. I just felt like the UPS guy must assume I'm a shopaholic.

[rikki]

Usually once a week. Since I am moving and have been ordering things for my new place like crazy I've been getting multiple packages every day.

[HoneySpider]

I go in spurts, so I'll have several one week but none the next (guess I go on shopping sprees, haha). I said 1x/week since I guess that's how it evens out.

[chessie]

Few times a month, we don't get mail everyday..so depends when delivery trucks/reg mail comes by sometimes.

At least once a week. We have Amazon prime and most big box stores aren't that convenient to us, so we order random household stuff. Also, we buy a lot of t-shirts from Shirt Woot.

This option did not occur to me. But it makes sense.

If I got something every day the mailroom might get a little pissed though! I do get stuff a few times a month.

When both kids were in diapers and we lived in BFE it was several times a week. Now that one is potty trained and there is a mall and Target within 10 miles maybe once a month.

[karinothing]

A few times week. I may have an amazon problem.

We get something pretty much every day. I wondered how normal this is.

We are currently getting packages maybe 4 days a week. I think the impending baby has upped that a lot, since we're ordering a lot of stuff on Amazon Prime to prepare.

[tacokick]

Almost every day. I work from home and get product samples and press releases sent to me all the time. Plus we have Prime so we order from Amazon a good bit.

[SJ]

I have a huge Amazon problem. So at least 3 times a week.

I am trying to cut back as part of our September financial shape-up. We'll see how that goes....

[satama]

2-3 times a week, but a lot of that is household stuff or diapers from amazon.

[dexteroni]

Usually once or twice a week. Some weeks we get zero, other weeks we'll get four or five. Amazon Prime makes it so convenient. It's not all shopping for fun; we have a couple subscribe and saves for necessities, I can order dog medicine cheaper than buying it from the vet, etc.

[drloretta]

We have a kid and grandparents who are far away. If we're not ordering something for us/her, she's getting something from a grandparent. Yesterday she got 2 boxes

[hbomdiggity]

Multiple times a week. Love amazon prime.

I have some things sent to the office, but it's just easier to have them sent to the home.

[sunshine608]

Lately it's been daily. I was proud about giving the UPS man a rest for this week, but I ended up ordering stuff for work and having it sent to the house so I wouldn't have to verify the card and shipping address. They have already split the order up so that at least 2 separate packages.

A few months ago the UPS man delivered my neighbors package to me. We both realized it at the same time and he made a comment about just being used to coming to my house. So I guess not normal for my area

In our defense we have no good stores in my area. The ones we do have a limited selection, so I tend to shop exclusively online.

[aspentosh]

I order so much online... Probably 4-5 boxes per week.

[adlove]

It's kind of a pain to ship things here, but I have a courier service that delivers things to me from Miami. I'll usually go about 6-8 weeks with nothing, then bam I order 10 packages at once.

This is DH and I as well. Almost every day one of us has a package. He works from home, though, so we've never had anything go missing. Saves me from spending $100+ by walking in the doors at Target, though...

1-2x/week. Amazon Love.

[gt7301b]

Hmm.... I got 6 packages last week, so far only 1 thing this week.

[matildasun]

As long as you are not my crazy neighbor, who gets something from all three carriers every day, takes at least 5 minutes to get to her door, and then has crazy notes on her door telling them to knock gently, you are probably perfectly normal.

[agnes]

I rarely get any packages. But H get's prolly a few every month.

[krystee]

Maybe just once a month or even less typically. I like going to stores in my community and supporting them. I have a fear that Amazon and Walmart will be the only two companies left in the world in 10 years. Also, I just enjoy being out and about and shopping. Now that I think about it, I have received three packages in the last week, but that is a very rare occurrence

[kershnic]

I'd say an average of once a week. But it goes in spurts... today I got a Z.appo's box. Last week I think we got an Amazon box. It increases around Christmas and some family birthdays that are clustered, decreases when we're watching the budget and hold back on Amazon purchases. I'm sure it will be a lot more when we have kids. My sis and BIL get multiple packages a day... I think their kids must think the UPS guy is part of the family.

[benitabutrell]

3 or so times per week. I'm pretty sure that our UPS man assumes that our house looks like the inside of a Hoarders episode because we have so many deliveries.

[insominac]

The UPS guy has Mr. Insom's cell number.

[pantsparty]

We have Amazon Prime. I'm pretty sure we get more boxes than anyone else in our neighborhood.
