We've had some mail issues and we're thinking maybe we should be using Lady Lake for the town rather than The Villages.
Everyone that lives in The Villages can use either The Villages or Lady Lake for their mail. The ZIP Codes 32162 and 32163 are strictly located in The Villages. The reason everyone including the 32159 ZIP Code in the villages can use Lady Lake is the fact that all of our mail comes out of the Lady Lake post office. Unfortunately some commercial entities do not recognize The Villages as a city since it is not so they use Lady Lake. Even the portions that are in Wildwood or Fruitland Park use The Villages or Lady Lake as the city! It's strictly has to do with where your mail is processed/sorted which in all of The Villages is Lady Lake. But I also agree that your ZIP Code is what controls the delivery more than anything else. So I think you must've had a mail person that messed up your delivery.
