“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!!”

“I drove a few miles down the road from another USPS location because the line was so long and not moving at all. I will be making this my go-to post office from now on! Y’all have a true treasure in Diane (sorry if I’m misspelling it), she was so helpful and personable. All the shipping boxes were well stocked and organized, there were pens and sharpies that actually worked, it was awesome.”

“After having 2 other passport appointments cancelled at the Ridge Branch due to "staffing issues", I decided to make the drive out to Rockville. Great decision! I was in and out in 20 minutes.”

“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!!”
