Default Re: New homeowners mail delivery

We were given the mailbox keys at the closing and told (shown by the sellers as well) which box is ours, and though we didn't stay in the house till a few weeks later, we had no problem receiving our mail. I don't even know who Jane's Outpost is. We never had to phone any post office and didn't learn which 'official' post office is ours until we had to sign for and pick up a certified letter; then we had to go to Lady Lake.

The only minor problem we have is that occasionally there must be a sub sorting the mail and we receive some mail for the previous owners, which we just drop into the 'misthrows' slot and which we presume is then correctly directed.

You can even knock on the door of the mail center in your village when the carrier is there sorting the mail to ask questions or whatever. Hope this helps.
