Mail
 
Is anyone else not getting mail delivered to them? Missing bank statements, charge card statements, water bills from the Villages. Tired of this and the post office hasn't helped much. Lots of excuses.

I don't get any of those in the mail because I have them delivered to me electronically.

Any statement that can come online is worth it. You are correct mail service has declined in the last 6 years for us, not just mail but boxes from USPS, lost for months. Since going online statements, only get junk mail, comes to our box

We have been here almost 10 years and no problems, just south of 466A. You may want to mention your specific mail (village) location. There have been previous problems reported at specific locations due to a specific contractor not doing their work correctly. I recall seeing an effort to get a new US post office for the area south of 44 as it appears the Lady Lake post office may be overwhelmed. My stepson appears to be having some problems in Wildwood (city not the villages section)

We have never had a problem getting bills, they have a way of always finding ya. Our problem is the amount of junk mail we continuously get, most of it addressed to the first two owners of our home, who are both deceased.

When we go north for a couple of months in the summer we had a few problems with “forward mail”. Otherwise no problems in the Village of LaBelle south of 466A.

We live south of 44 and have so for over 5 years with no problems ever. Our contract person Megan is great and extremely helpful. I guess it all depends on who handles you mail.

There is a form on the PO site where you can report them as deceased

Have filled out that form over 10 times. Still get mail for 6 people 4 deceased, 2 in memory care. Now I just use big red markers and write, dead can no longer read this mail, return to sender:22yikes:

Mail forwaeding in a timely manner is a joke. I am getting nasty grams from companies I have been with for 20 yrs.

Sarah has been handling the mail at the Chatham station since 2007. We are so lucky - she's a gem. Reading of the problems others have had makes me appreciate her even more.

Nope, I'm getting all the mail I'm expecting every week, right around the time I expect it. Haven't had any problems with our postal service since we moved in, almost three years ago. We also had excellent service when I lived up north.

I know folks that believe in 'no paper'. Whenever they can't find documents from years ago, they have to pay the bank or outfit to do research for them. No thanks. I will file the paper so I have what I need when I need it in the future.

We can look up any of our accounts for 7 years, which is more than enough years for Government or any warranty work

I am not comfortable with the mail service. Too many times I’ve received a notice of a late fee due to my payment not received when in fact I mailed early enough. I now make payment on line. Mailed my son in laws birthday card in June, he has not received it yet!
