Included with the explosion of mail was a print out stating our requested mail hold (which had yet to expire). So, I take it putting a hold on your mail here in the Villages is just pointless?
I never do anything directly with the post office. All I do is give a note to the person who works at the mail facility in the villages and they hold my mail for me. It’s great. I’ve never had a problem.
