There is also a post office in Fruitland Park, on 466A. Go past Publix on 466A and the PO is on the left just before you get to the Redlight at CR 25. It is about 2 miles. Not golf cart accessibe, but friendly service. I use it all the time as it is smaller and not usually packed with people. It is as close to those of us in Duval and Hadley areas as the Oxford (if not closer) one and for me is right on the way to the Wal-Mart in Fruitland park/Leesburg which is closser thatn the others.

I tried to use the Villages pack and ship and htey seemed to be very expesive. Because they charge a surcharge, whichis how they make theri money, my package was going to be $12 at Pac and ship and I mailed it 2nd day priority at the post office for under 5. This has happened to me on 2 or 3 occasions before I just started using the PO all the time.
