Its hard to find because it doesnt even look like a post office. Extremely limited parking. Also hard to Enter & Exit area. Far less mail boxes than their old location. Tiny retail area that gets very cramped when crowded. Also they never seem to have more than 2 out of the 5 registers open even when they are crowded, so its not good for local business when people are in a hurry or during holidays. I can understand 2 clerks open if its a slow day but it often seems they are under staffed, though on rare occasions such as Christmas they probably do have more clerks at the registers. It looks more like a Postal Substation in a small town than a bigger city. It shares a parking lot with the near by County Jail as well as other services with only like 20+ parking spots. Pedestrians need to be very careful because of hurried turning traffic that pulls in quickly around a blind spot created by the corner of the building. I almost got hit by vehicles on several occasions when I chose to walk. Even though I dont drive Ive often had friends take me and weve had a hard time finding parking. One last thing is their Exit area which is a sharp weird turn down to Franklin St where there are blind spots from parked cars, also pedestrians need to cross at the mouth of the exit and are often cut off by exiting traffic in a rush to get out. Franklin St. is also a busy street. They used to have a loud alarm that would sound and a sign that warned people of exiting traffic but nearby businesses got annoyed by the high pitched tone sounding all day long (they seemed to have shut off the sign). But as you can see from my post and that of others this was a very unrealistic choice of both location and functionality.

Friendly staff but this facilitys location and parking and size is NOT adequate. Although I live in Bangor, I use the Hampden PO or the Brewer PO because it is so much easier to find parking and the size of the lobby is much better suited. Time to look for a new location for the Bangor PO!

Drove over for a passport, but their policy is to make an appointment. They should put this on their website so that people dont make unnecessary trips in. I had already checked their website for the hours that I could get a passport but theres no mention of needing an appointment.

No one ever answers the phone I try all day for a few days now and frankly Im getting annoyed with it. I havent been receiving my mail and I want to know why Im waiting for my Maine State I.D and its been a month someone needs to answer the phone

Checks are always delivered a day late. Management never helps with any of it. Seems to never be anyone there to answer the phone + they dont have a voicemail, even though they are REQUIRED to. Go with Fed-Ex.

Love how I can check my P.o Box whenever I want. Even if its a holiday! Although If I have any other postal needs, Ill go elsewhere because of the long lines u will find yourself waiting in here.

Cramped parking and cramped service lobby. No trash bins in lobby. No scrap paper to go with pens.

Answer the phone at all ever! Dont list a phone number if all youre going to do is let it ring.
