Just look for the little brick building that's shaped like a monopoly house! The Oilville post…read moreoffice is small but mighty. 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.

I wish I could I give them 0 star they are mean and sucks…read more they make you wait for so long they are very slow

they will not answer the phone. And when they do they hang up immediately. So they suck.read more

This plain brick post office is in the cute unincorporated community which is home to much history!…read moreIt's close to Scotchtown, Patrick Henry's home, and a very cool train depot! With a population of of about 4,000, this historic town deserves a better looking post office. Inside is rather junky, with a bin of old free books and a free shabby office chair. The post master here needs to give this place a good fall cleaning! I did like the vintage brass post offices boxes though, and it looked well stocked. There is a sign saying they are hiring for a substitute rural carrier, and also warehouse workers. Hours M-F 8:00-12:00, 12:30-4:30 Saturday 8:00-12:00

Cutest little post office that's tucked off the main road on Rt. 250 in Gum Springs. I mean, look…read morehow small it is! I think the shed in my backyard is bigger than this diminutive government building. And I wouldn't change a thing! There's a drive by mailbox for posting letters or small packages outside, and inside it's neat as a pin and stocked! They are opened M-F from 9:30-1, 1:30-4:00, and Saturday 8:30-12. Limited services include money orders, no passport services. Tiny but mighty post office that you won't find long lines! Love the daffodils out front too!

You may have some long Lines at lunchtime, but I was in and out like first class delivery! It was rather spacious, clean, well-stocked. I love the postal system! It's history, the colorful post offices all over the country, and meeting the postmasters all intrigue me! Ruther Glen is an unincorporated community that's serves about 16,000 folks! This post office has odd hours: M-F 9-4:30 closes from 1:30-3 for lunch - haven't seen a post office that closes that long for lunch but good for them! Sat. 10-12.

Updating my rating to 5 star, 100% due to Tiffany being the consistently awesome postal employee…read morethat she is. Their hours are still clunky in my opinion (original complaint) but when they're open and Tiffany is there it's always a five-star visit. I've been feeling this way for a while now whenever I get to vibe w her, but especially today when she asked after my son. The last time we were in for stamps was weeks ago, my son was solving his Rubik's cube while in a splint following his hand surgery. Today her simple "I haven't seen you in a bit, how is your son doing?" meant a lot. ... and anyway I'm getting better at learning their hours, lol YES: kid friendly

For a smallish town like Ashland, this post office was super busy! The line was to the door!…read more Don't confuse this building with the one a few steps down the street. The "old" Ashland post office, built in 1940, is located on the next block, which still has the post office gold lettering on the brick facade. It now houses attorneys and other offices. The actual "newer"post office, built in 1992, is located at 301 England Street. Definitely a more modern building, but still possesses some small town charm. The interior is impressive with Tuscan columns, high ceilings, A-framed glass windows and Spanish tiled floors. The large, open floor plan creates a well-lit, airy space. For such spacious area, I was surprised that they don't provide passport services here. Their services are limited to the typical ones you'll find at most such post offices: P.O. boxes, money orders, stamps, shipping supplies, greeting cards, bulk mail and general delivery. I didn't even see a self-serve kiosk. I feel like they could expand their services to accommodate the Ashland community. After all, it is the "Center of the Universe"!

I have lived here for 25 years and they are consistently understaffed, with really only one staff…read moremember who knows what is going on and how to fix problems, but he is extremely overworked. The other people are not helpful, often making problems worse. I have had NUMEROUS terrible issues with mail holds, including them getting the dates wrong. The carriers are also less than stellar, often not delivering our mail and giving us the wrong mail. I witnessed a situation today where a patron came to pick up a packae that should have been delivered to him, the carrier did not take it to his house. So, he had requested for pick up at the post office and had appropriate notification for pick up, but the carrier picked it up and planned to deliver it after all. My most recent complaint is regarding a travel hold, which the carrier misread, and started holding mail ten days early. I had been notified that i receiving a new credit card, and when I didn't receive when I was told that I would, I went over to the Post Office and found that the hold was initiated early, I got all today's mail except the credit card. I am going to have to go over there at 8:30 a.m. to find out where it is.....this is ENORMOUSLY FRUSTRATING! THEY NEED TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE AND TRAIN THEM AND EDUCATE THE CARRIERS TO BE MORE ATTENTIVE TO THE MAIL THAT THEY DELIVER AND THE PEOPLE ON THE ROUTE!!! IT NEVER SEEMS TO GET ANY BETTER....
