Mail sorting

Mail sorting is the process of organizing incoming and outgoing mail to ensure it reaches its destination efficiently. When mail arrives at a postal facility, it is sorted based on factors like size, weight, and destination. This can be done manually by postal workers or automatically using machines that read addresses and barcodes. The sorted mail is then grouped and placed in designated bins or trays for delivery by mail carriers. Effective sorting reduces delivery times and errors, allowing the postal service to handle large volumes of mail efficiently.
