“Just look for the little brick building that's shaped like a monopoly house! The Oilville post office 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!!”

“Out of all of the post offices I have used here in Virginia this one by far is at the top. The postal employee was kind,nice,and pleasant. The service I received was helpful and I was not pressured to spend any extra money for insurance or a book of stamps. I was treated like a human being not a number. I will start going to this particular post office for all my future postal needs. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you so much for helping me.”

“Cutest little post office that's tucked off the main road on Rt. 250 in Gum Springs. I mean, look how 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!”

“Good things come in small packages! This small post office packs a punch! Great selection of stamps, I got 6 different designs! They had a nice amount of shipping supplies and greeting cards. It was clean as a whistle and the clerk was so nice and helpful! When I complimented her on her sunny disposition, she said, "I try to be positive, I love my job!" Wow! If you live in Goochland, I hope you appreciate what a lovely little post office you have! I did!! My stamp of approval!!”
