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?
We've put holds on our mail dozens of time with outstanding results over the past 7 years. Our mail carrier? even dropped off the bin with more than 3 weeks of mail to our home. My wife dropped off a thank you note with a small gift card for the outstanding service.
