How early can we show up to deliver mishloach manot and not be rude?
We usually go to earliest minyan and megilla reading, so sometimes we're done very early. Later on streets get congested, so may not make it to everyone plus it's annoying to drive. Or, is it nice to leave a mishloach manot by the door if it's really early without ringing bell?

Interesting. We start deliveries at around 9 and are finished with the bulk of driving around by then.

10am earliest. Gives people a chance to hear megilla and get into costumes. I wouldn't want anyone showing up at my home before then.

I wouldn't ring on anyone's doorbell before 9:30
Another idea is to leave it at the door. Quick and painless

I think that by 9 is fine. I would knock on the door, if no one answered I'd just leave by the front door. I wouldn't knock or ring bell multiple times. If they weren't able to answer the door they can just ignore. Then again, I have little kids and everyone is up early anyway so maybe my perception is skewed.

Not before 11:00. Most people where I live don’t start to deliver before 11:00. If they do, they don’t ring the bell. They just leave it at the door.

My neighborhood is 10:30 - 11:00.
Earlier and people are dressing kids, feeding kids, hearing the Megillah and all around Purim mayhem.. I guess it's what your neighborhood does...

I'm the odd one out. We always get a few early and I love it. I dtop off by doors on way to megila. They can always return later in the day.

I must be the only one who works on Purim, and my kids aren't dragging things around all of creation without a car. We drop things on doorsteps before 8 am.

10:30-11 is the norm in my neighborhood. But the litvish shul at my corner daven very early so the litvish neighbors sometimes leave at the door early.

Every year I go to the earliest Megillah, dh goes to the next one, and do shalach manos rounds to driving-distance (more than a block or two) family and friends before traffic starts. We come home, wash for an early lunch, he drinks a tiny bit, he naps, and I take kids to give to the neighbors on the block. We come back in time to go to family seuda together.
I'd rather leave shalach manos on my brother's/grandparents/best friend's doorstep, than not bring him at all. I don't ring the bell, I text them instead.
This year is different. I'm only giving one shalach manos. I'm spending the day in the hospital with my daughter, god willing.

10:00 is the earliest. Keep in mind that there are people that have parties the night before that go into the wee hours of the morning. We usually daven vasikin and hear megilla early. My DH takes my sons to yeshiva Mordechai hatzadik to learn. They get home about 10:45 and by then most people are up and about.

I think there’s a different answer for chasidish vs. litvish. Chasidish is much later in the morning, I have a feeling those who said 10-11 are In that category. Litvish tends to be earlier , we always give starting after 9.

I have the opposite question. How late is too late to blast your music on purim?
I say after 1030. My neighbors party until 200 am with the music blasting and my house vibrating.

If you want to leave it on my doorstep then I don't care what time you leave it as long as you know that the stray dogs and cats may likely get to it before I do.
But if anyone would ring my doorbell before 9 am on Purim I wouldn't open the door.
