Before that, absolutely, all the time. That's why I got the PO Box.
Even after I got the PO Box, I'd get random mail for other people who lived at different addresses all the time, including a few credit card statements...
I'm not sure I can remember the last time I got mail on a Monday. It's also incredibly rare that a letter I expect *never* shows up, which has made me figure it's a mail carrier doing something funny, not neighbors stealing mail or whatever.
About a year and a half ago, I had to file a complaint for opened mail. Anything that looked like a check, coupons, etc. The postal service was not especially helpful. Seems to have calmed down since.
Mail has also been suspiciously light since the monsoon started :-S
Our carrier seems to have a habitual problem with not picking up mail we leave out for delivery; don't know whether to file a complaint (which may encourage retribution) or to just keep bringing mail into the office and mailing it from here.
The weekend carrier is happy to just dump mail for both units into whichever mailbox he feels compelled to leave it in.
Our weekend carrier does the same, just dumps it through our front door "mail" slot, not into our individual boxes, I sometimes wonder if they're given the set of keys that the week person has, or are just generally uninformed.
At least he uses the mail slot. The regular carrier at my old place in Teele refused to use ours -- he just dumped the mail in between the screen door and the door, with varying rates of success. I loved coming home to find my credit card statements sitting on the porch floor.

I'm suspicious, since they'll have been in attractive looking envelopes and are the most likely to contain cash.
Haven't knowingly missed anything (or anything else) in the last year or so.

This. I got my PO Box over 8 yrs ago after years of mailing mishaps.

I mentioned it once when I brought the stuff to the post office (at Davis), and was told that they actually don't HAVE to pick it up. =(
