Pinellas is also 32163

yup, we've always put "The Villages" but we are actually Fruitland Park, I think. I'm not even sure. All I know is that I get my UPS and Fed Ex stuff delivered with no problems at all.

I doubt you are in Fruitland Park in Sanibel...My understanding is that Fruitland Park ends at the Lake County/Sumter County line, which is just east of the Shell Station and the Colony Health Care Center on 466A.

In theory and sometimes in reality just the zip code will do. If it includes the additional 4 digits, that should specify the exact house without a town or city name.
Theoretically, you only need the zip plus 4 and no name or address for it to get there. I've been meaning to try that experiment one day!

The Villages also has 32163 south of 466A.

Tonight it corrected the city to Wildwood. I know the Village of Gilchrist is physically located in Wildwood. But Is that the correct mailing address too, or is it: The Villages, Fl 34785 ??

Thanks for answering another newbie question!!

Try using this web page to look up your complete mailing address, including the zips plus 4: https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action

Thanks for the info.

I asked the sales rep for TV who lives across the street from me and he was perplexed as to why a sales rep would be quoting a different zip code from the zip code being assigned to most of the occupied villages south of 466A. He has sold property south of Gilchrist near Lake Deaton and the zip is 32163. He even had a contract on a home in Gilchrist for himself and the zip code was 32163. He suggested that one check their sales contract for the correct address. So I DID check on THAT!
