A Post Office Pretty Please
 
Does anyone know if the Villages will get a full service post office anytime soon? We span 3 counties and have over 140,000 residents. Just one would do. Heck, it could even be way up in Sumter Landing, or even down by Marsh bend. Something needs to be done.

Fruitland Park is pretty convenient.

I highly doubt anybody on TOTV, has inside information about a new postal station. Given the continuing loss of federal employees I highly doubt it. Close to the northern and you have Lady Lake anex and a full post office, mid southern end you have Wildwood PO. Both are very accommodating and only seem to be long lines during Christmas holidays

We live in Osceola Hills and we have 2 post offices near us in Fruitland Park or in Wildwood. We don't need any more.

I really like the post office in sumterville. Convenient location for me in the south, (4 miles from my house), never busy, does everything I need. The only thing you can’t do there is passports.

If anything post office is shrinking employment. Think what we have now works pretty well

Can one of those be accessed by golf cart? Is it by Walmart?

What is it that you need to do at a post office that you cannot do at a UPS store? It was explained to me extensively in another thread that the UPS store is more convenient than the USPS.

"The Villages" spans three counties. There can't be a Villages Post Office, because post offices are specific to the zip codes they're in, not the community. Next time, move closer to a post office, if that's a priority to you.

Meanwhile I can easily take my golf cart to the one in Lady Lake off Griffin Ave. Takes me 7 minutes by golf cart.

Just do not stop by from 12-1 as they close for lunch. That’s changing with the times for you, LOL. Given the recent posts on the post office I think your suggestion is reverse of the changing times.

OP do you need to be close to apply for a job? Other than the need to Work at a PO i can’t think of a reason to stop by more than 3 times a year, unless it’s to say “HI” good job. Hope you are still open next month.

No. We have plenty of them already.
