What is a mail distribution center?

A Mail Distribution Center is a facility where incoming and outgoing mail is sorted, processed, and routed to its appropriate destinations. These centers handle large volumes of letters and packages, using both manual and automated systems to ensure timely and accurate delivery. Staff at these facilities may operate sorting machines, scan barcodes, and organize mail by region or delivery route. Mail Distribution Centers are an essential part of the postal service, helping to streamline the flow of mail and improve delivery efficiency.
