sorting office (postal)

A sorting office is a facility where mail and parcels are organized for delivery. When mail arrives, it is sorted by destination, which helps postal workers ensure it reaches the correct address efficiently. The process involves using machines and manual labor to categorize items based on size, weight, and delivery routes. Once sorted, items are placed in designated bags or containers for postal carriers, who then deliver them to homes or businesses. Sorting offices play a crucial role in the postal system, helping to streamline the movement of mail and improve overall delivery speed and accuracy.
