On Route 250, you may have overlooked it, if it hadn't been for the huge sign by the road! It's tucked aways back off the main road with a few parking spots, and a flagpole out front proudly waving the ol' red, white and blue. Inside is bright and clean, well stocked packaging center, post office boxes for rent. Anthony Trollope, prominent writer of the Victorian Era, mid-1800's, is given credit to the widespread of neighborhood mailboxes at the corners of the London streets. This creative idea then spread to America! In London, the boxes were originally green but they blended in with the scenery too well, so the "pillar boxes" were then painted bright red so they can be seen from afar. Here in the states, street boxes were also painted an olive drab green, but in 1955, the colors were changed to red, white & blue. Then, in 1971, the US Postal Service, decided to change them to the deep royal blue we see today! Anthony Trollope is a man of letter for sure!! Lobby hours are 9:30-4:30 M-F, and 9:00-12:00 Sat. Money orders, standard services, stamps, but no passport services. Local # (804)784-3624. They break for lunch, so call ahead. With the larger post offices overloaded due to the pandemic and the holiday season, this tiny mail center a great alternative if you want to avoid long lines! The residents in Goochland County know that the Oilville post office is one slick business!!

I've passed this post office plenty of times and never noticed it. It's very small and though…read morethere's a large sign up front, it's kind of easy to overlook while cruising down the road. This part of Oilville is not a very busy area. It's pretty must just through traffic and I think that helps keep customers at this post office to a minimal. There is only one register on the inside, so if someone has a lot of stuff to send out or if there's more than 3 people in line, it might take some time until you make your way to the desk. Staff here is always friendly. Super, southern friendly! Lol. For the most part, I've never seen more than two other customers here. But I've also never been here around rush hour.

Meh. Nobody loves going to the post office, do they? I never seem to have a great experience there,…read morebut it's a necessary evil. On my most recent visit, the self service kiosk wasn't working, so I had to stand in line to mail my letter. While I arrived prior to 5pm, I experienced the employees being very rude to folks who arrived just after 5. While I understand that the line has to be cut off, a little customer service and niceness goes a long way. Instead of yelling "WE'RE CLOSED" and making hand gestures, they could have put a sign on the door or nicely said that they are closed and to come back another time. Just my two cents!

I run a…read morebusiness from home, and I need to be able to rely on the services provided by the post office. I have put in two official inquiries and nobody could tell me why my packages were not getting picked up on fon du lac. I have even put notes in the mailbox for the carrier asking them to please pick the packages up. Smh. I called the local branch several times and nobody answers the phone. I went there in person on Tuesday 8/4/26 to drop off the packages that weren't picked up the day before. I spoke to a supervisor, but she didn't take down my information, so I wasn't very confident that she was even going to look into it. While I was waiting to speak with her, there was another lady speaking with her who put her small children on top of a very high round table in the lobby. It is about 4.5 to 5 feet tall with a concrete floor underneath, and she had placed her two young children up there unsupervised. I was concerned the kids would fall off the entire time, yet the supervisor allowed it. I was about to go over there and stand by them to make sure they didn't fall, when the mother finally came back to attend to them. The table is part of the self-service kiosk where customers prepare their parcels; it's not a place for children to play or sit upon. It was a hazardous situation for those babies. That being said, when I do have to go to the post office, the ladies at the front are mostly polite and professional.

I've been using this post office for many years. There is a convenient self serve kiosk in the…read morelobby that you can access after hours. The staff has been helpful on many occasions. A few years ago I had a package sent that the sender forgot to include my apt number on. My regular mailman had the day off and I just happened to be grabbing the mail and saw that the package was not delivered. We tracked it and saw it was being sent back the the sender, so we rushed to the post office. The person behind the counter got the tracking info from us and decided to check for it and found it right away. Another time recently my mailman saw me near the mailbox and gave me a shout because he had a package that was too big for my mailbox and would've had to be picked up from the post office otherwise. This location does get really busy, there are a lot of apartments nearby in walking distance. Sometimes they are understaffed, but that is the case almost everywhere. Everyone I have worked with here has been professional.

The older gentleman named Robert is VERY rude. I come by about twice a week to drop off packages and I've watched his interactions with others. He's fine with men, it's women, especially older women, that he's rude with. Robert will cut you off, huff and puff at you, snatch your packages, always makes some sort of comment and makes every interaction more difficult than it needs to be. Everyone else working here is friendly and helpful, this guy just seems to hate his job and helping others, especially women.
