The USPS Distribution Center is a distribution facility operated by the United States Postal Service (USPS) for the purpose of distributing mail and package goods. USPS distribution centers are located throughout the United States and in several international hubs.
Distribution centers are divided into three main categories: central processing, regional processing, and storage and distribution.
Central processing centers are the largest and most advanced of the three types of USPS distribution centers. They process and distribute mail from the nation’s postal facilities.
Central processing centers are located in major metropolitan areas and employ a large workforce to handle the volume of mail.
Regional processing centers are second in size to central processing centers. They are located in smaller metropolitan areas and employ a smaller workforce to handle the volume of mail.
Regional processing centers are used to process and distribute mail from local post offices.
Storage and distribution centers are the smallest of the three types of USPS distribution centers. They are located in rural and suburban areas and are used to store mail and package goods.
Storage and distribution centers are also used to distribute mail and package goods to the nation’s post offices.
