U.S. Post Office Box
 
Greetings-

Getting situated in our new home at Marsh Bend. Which U.S. Postal Office somewhat near the southern-end of The Villages would you suggest for me to have my mail forwarded ?
Thanks

The closest is in Coleman, after that you'll need to go to Wildwood.

Our PO Box in our neighborhood mail center was assigned at our closing and we received keys to this PO Box at the same time. Forwarding address is your street address and mail arrives at your assigned PO Box.

Wait a minute.

Are you saying that Da Family hasn't built a postal station for a Village...prior to the first house being sold & occupied?

From a common sense perspective...I'm finding that hard to believe.
:ohdear:

Your question is confusing. You are living in Marsh Bend. Are you there full time and you want mail addressed to your old address up north to be forwarded to Marsh Bend? Or something else?

If you have closed and are moving in, I'm going to guess you can receive mail in your own mailbox. The mail station should be done and operable, ask your agent. Welcome to The Villages.

Maybe OP is returning to the north for,the summer and wants mail temporary forwarded there.

It's built, located next to the pool at Cattail rec. area.

When we moved in even though the station was built we had to pick up our mail at the Fenney Rec. Center until there were enough residents to open the mail station. Might be the same thing at Marsh Landing.

Hello-

Thanks for the replies--

I apologize for the confusion, but for clarity, I am inquiring about renting a "public" Unites States Postal Mail Box near to the geographic center of The Villages and "separate" from the neighborhood mail center.
By utilizing a U.S. Post Office Box, I am attempting to separate my professional business mail from my social mail that would be mailed directly to the neighborhood mail center.

Thanks

Marsh Landing and Linden are not receiving mail until a certain percentage of homes are purchased according to the Post Office in Lady Lake. Which is where we go to pick up our mail. Not sure of the percentage needed. But once achieved we were told they need to hire a contractor to deliver. We were somewhat surprised this was the case.

Don't forget to put a sticker on your box, so you remember which one is yours! :icon_wink:

No USPS station was built close to the "center" of The Villages, except for Lady Lake, if you consider that the center. There are post offices in Wildwood, Fruitland Park, Leesburg, and, as Goldwing said, Coleman.

New Englander 06-22-2019 08:49 AM

I could be wrong, but I think the Post Office in Wildwood would be the best choice.

vintageogauge 06-22-2019 08:54 AM

Coleman would have a different zip code for you and is never crowded although they do close for lunch.
