A rather odd question about posbox's

[1987mandy]

Is there any way that i can find out which postbox's are in/out of use in my area? I've sent two letters recently and none of them have arrived and i need to find out whether the postbox i used is to blame.
Thanks in advance.

if not in use then i would expect it would be sealed up and have a notice on it.

if your'e worried why not call your local post office and ask them

Most postboxes have a "time of next collection" metal plate which the postman swaps. Does yours?

redcrx I've asked the local post office and they don't know anything about any postbox's so I phoned the local sorting office and couldn't get hold of anyone that knows anything.
Squarebear im not quite sure.

[redcrx]

the times of collections will be on the box. Why not wait there at that time and see if it gets emptied?

[1987mandy]

Oh i see what squarebear meant now redcrx, thanks will do that.
