- RMRoberta McCartneyAug 28, 20251.0Just watched a video abut this poor excuse of a post office. They all need to be fired as educating them won't work. They are an embarrassment. Once on the Internet... Always on the Internet.
- JDJ DonAug 19, 20251.0I have lived in a lot of different towns in different states and the Sanford Maine mail delivery is the absolute worst mail service I have ever experienced. Mail is constantly late, if it ever gets there at all…
- STShannon ThompsonAug 2, 20255.0A beautiful place to be able to call a local post office. The lobby feels like walking into a different time and is well kept. Postal desk team very friendly and patient. The postal boxes are such a sight to see. Highly recommended to go just to walk in and view this historical site.
- ORO RobJul 26, 20251.0This place is such a ripoff. They charged me me $10 for a small mailer. Apparently you can go online and get the old fist class rate which would have been $4!!! The postal system is such a ripoff.
- PLPauline LeeJul 2, 20251.0Sanford post office is the worst!! They’re rude and don’t answer their phones. Informed delivery says package left in parcel locker but they don’t leave the key to locker in your mailbox. Idiots!! If I had the choice I’d never use them.
