Now they say I must contact the Lady Lake post office to inquire. They don’t answer their phones, and it’s an hour and a half drive (round trip), and I don’t even know if they still have the item or have already returned it to the sender.

The Lady Lake post office may have been conveniently located 10 years ago. But with the expansion southward, it’s now a big chunk of the day to drive there for those of us in the south. Why is it so difficult to include a more convenient branch post office that serves the Villages somewhere amidst all the new development in the south?

We were surprised to find our post office was the one ten miles away rather than the one three miles away. I didn't realize Lady Lake was also being used for those south of 44.

A guess would be that Lady Lake was convenient at the time and was large enough to handle the volume. It would be nice if the Okahumpka office could be used for the southern areas but that building looks rather small and there is probably no money in the budget for expanding it.
