The lady at the sales center told me there is no phone at Mallory Square post office but that Lady Lake Post office handles all the mail. Then she said they have a phone number but they will not pick up, which it true as when I dialed I got a busy signal constantly. She suggested I go in person (from several thousand miles away). There must be another solution.
How does the postal service (which I assume is a government service) work in TV, or the county. How do I talk to someone?

Suggestions for others and perhaps old news but when we used to go on vacation we would go to the post office fill out the form on a face to face, to have our mail held several days before. It was perhaps more important than here at the Villages in that I was running a business. We had delivery to our door,
at no extra charge by the way, but, our mail box could not hold several days worth of mail. The batting average for the post office was close to zero over the many years we lived there.
We did it several days before so we would know if it was working. Generally, after asking for the post office manger by the second time it worked.

As I understand it you sold a place in the villages, bought another but are currently living out of state. Hopefully, things went well with your buyer. Perhaps, contact your real estate atty. If, necessary contact the buyer. You can surely send them a few bucks to forward your mail by priority mail. You can get a tracking number and track it on line. Someone suggested you send your broker to the post office. I doubt the would or even could do that. Surely the post office would insist on a picture ID that they are you.
