The mailbox assigned to the house we bought is on the top row.
The post office & the District.gov ADA rep both say mail boxes are assigned by The Villages sales center. TV sales center, however says it’s the post office.
Has anyone else come across this problem or maybe you know someone who has.
Thank you so much for any help,
Sandi & Frank
Sure have, told you get what you get, period. So, guess I've just been lucky but, for over 16 years have not once had failed to have some kind person within "shouting" distance, either buying a newspaper from the dispenser, getting their own mail, or walking their dog in the grassy area by the boxes, have never had to go home without mail, or try another time when more people are around. Thought it was going to be a lot worse than it's turned out to be ! If late at night (like when we've been gone) hubby gets it. You've got a double problem with both of you on the short side. Good luck.
