You might find it more convenient to use the p.o. in Wildwood:

316 Shopping Center Dr [I think this is off hgwy 301]
Wildwood, FL 34785
Phone: (352) 748-2550
Hours of Operation:
Mon-Fri 9:00am-4:30pm Sat 10:00am-12:00pm Sun closed

There is also some sort of pack and ship business for mailing/shipping in the Colony shopping center - and maybe one will be coming to the Pinellas center.

The Wildwood post office is in the shopping center with Sav-A-Lot groceries and a Radio Shack.

The Fruitland Park P.O. is just a few miles past the Colony Plaza on 466a.

No. There is a post office on wildwood and there is one on 466A near the intersection with 25A. and of course the main post office in Lady Lake. The Villages is not a town, therefore no post office.

It should be a town.....:mmmm:

There IS a pack & ship in Pinellas but not USPS

Not likely to get a new post office with the postal service running in the red.

I don't think you have to be a town to have a post office. We moved here from Lutz, Florida, 33549 also not a town (just an area called Lutz). I suspect all you need is a zip code, which leads me to believe The Villages could have a post office if the USPS wanted to spend the money that they don't have!!

post offices are placed for distribution purposes. there is not a place called 'the villages', but we are almost all in the distribution area served by the lady lake post office. we have post ofices in wildwood, fruitland park, summerfield, lady lake, and a substation behind the original town square by the el ranchito restaurant on 441. there most likely will never be a post office in the villages. the USPS is not in the business to make money, or serve as a retail outlet. they are there to distribute mail.

Reachable by golf cart! Another benefit of living on the historic side! :)
