You'll discover some cool history in Amelia! The architecture is beautiful throughout the town and…read moremany of the house are from the 1800's and early 1900's. But the lovely architect comes to a halt once you arrive at the Amelia Courthouse post office. This very generic, rectangular brick building really has little charm, which is a shame considering ma y of the other appealing buildings. If you look up at the door entrance, you'll find it rusted and grungy, in dire need of a paint job! This post office is quite drab inside, old and dreary interior with shabby linoleum flooring and unflattering fluorescent lighting. The antique brass post boxes are cool though! But, all in all, this place definitely needs an update and could use some TLC. As far as service, these small country post offices are friendly and accommodating! There are seldom long lines and the have Saturday hours from 10am-12pm. Sending packages, snagging a greeting card, purchasing stamps, getting money orders are pretty easy breezy! But no passport services or self serve kiosks. All in all, a pretty average postal service, although the building and cleanliness substandard. Amelia should deliver more.

By far the *most pleasant* USPS transaction I've ever had, like, what just happened? It's probably…read more because this post is located in a less-densely populated/more "country" area, but the agent that processed my packages and gave me a tour of their available stamp styles could not have been more accommodating or agreeable--we even shared a few laughs! Makes me want to find more reasons to visit Amelia Court House whenever I have a bunch of shipping to do. Cute town, surprisingly charming post office experience.

When I find a sweet, unique post office in a tiny unincorporated community/town like Bremo Bluff, I…read moreget a jolt of adrenaline! How cool is this boxy white post office with royal blue trim?! I love the vintage wood entrance and counter of the diminutive govt facility. You can cross the lobby in about four steps! The post master, a young lady, was super nice and friendly! I loved this one! It suited me to the letter! Bremo Bluff was established in1636 and Robert E. Lee's family considered this quiet area a haven during the Civil War. The actual bluff is quite a site! There's a stately plantation of the same name here, dubbed by the owners from the ancestral home Braemore in the UK. Now populated with about 700 people, it has a rich history. If you ever come to this are in Fluvanna County, be sure to see the bluff and go to the post office! It needs a lick of paint and some landscaping to make it 5 stars!! Hours M-F 12:00-4:00, Sat. 10-12, no passport services.

What a cute tiny post office! If you're headed down Route 6 (River Road West), you may just miss…read morethis diminutive brick building if you don't know it's there! The parking lot is small too, so take heed. It's a convenient mail center for local businesses and residents so they don't have to drive into Richmond. Community conscious, they have notices posted regarding COVID-19. What I love best about this Post Office?? No lines and pleasant service! They have my stamp of approval!

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!

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.

Plain, square brick post office... it didn't have much personality, but the employees were nice…read more I've got to give them props for having an eyeglass recycling donation box to help the community! They also have flyers for other community festivals and celebrations for the Buckingham area! That's pretty cool! There's a decent parking lot and handicap parking up front. Post offices used to be a hub for folks to gather and chat, and this small town post office seems to keep that tradition alive. It was well stocked, neat and tidy, but could use a little facelift as the floors were somewhat dated and dingy. But for the most part, this was your simple, everyday typical post office-nothing to "write home" about. Hours are M-F 8:00-4:30 Closed for lunch: 12:00-12:30 Saturday 8:00-10:30

This small post office in Fork Union has an eye catching exterior with its turquoise panels, but it…read morecould definitely use a facelift! Not that they aren't trying, it's really tidy, but the floors, walls and windows are dingy. I do like the brass post office boxes! Here in FU (oops!) proper, there are about 900 residents with the zip code 23055. The town is old fashioned, with a homey pharmacy up the street, a couple of local red, and a few businesses and home to the military school Fork Union Military Academy. One business was right on time! The $ General came in handy when my phone died and I had to buy a car charger! Thanks Fork Union! Back to the post office, there are some local newsstands outside, inside there's a greeting card kiosk and plenty of mailing and shipping supplies. A big messy bulletin board is covered with local news, business cards, and flyers. The people here are friendly and helpful. But, like I said, needs some tlc, just like the plant on the counter that seems to match the vibe as it needs attention. Hours M-F 8:30-12:30,1-4:30. Sat 9:30-11:30

Cute little post office in the small "disincorporated" town of Columbia. Don't sneeze or you'll…read moremiss this little, seemingly forgotten historic village, population as of 2023 56 people. The population has fluctuated sometimes as high as 100, but the number tends to dwindle. Yes, the history of this tiny unincorporated place on the map has some cool history: this was the location of the Rassawek, a Monacan Indian Nation settlement. English settlers occupied the area and it was used as an arsenal for awhile. In 1788 the town became incorporated, and was a shipping stop for the tobacco trade. Then by the 1950's due to the decline of the railroad and natural disasters many homes and buildings were either destroyed, flooded or abandoned. The mayor proposed to disincorporate the town in 2014 and eventually passed in 2016 as money couldn't be raised to save the historic town. Main Street now looks like a ghost town, with dilapidated buildings, the haunting remains of the railroad, and just a corner market and the post office hidden down a side street. The post office is charming and well cared for despite its rundown neighbors. Inside it's clean and bright. It's a shame this place couldn't make it because the St. Joseph's church is beautiful and has some remarkable statuary and a popular shrine, also many of the houses in the neighborhood are stately and elegant.
