I figure most people would do the same in similar situations. Sad to hear the few "mean" stories. I do not think most Villagers are like that. Good luck on finding a solution, let us know how it worked, and welcome to the Villages.

I do the same. I sometimes climb up a grocery shelf to get an item for myself or someone else. Of course everyone needs to know their limitations so they don't get hurt.

I think mailbox height could be a selling point if you are trying to sell your home, if you lucked out with a great one! It's an amenity most of us use many times weekly, and if I was on the lower or higher height spectrum and looking for a home, this would be a good question to ask.
