Background:

The U.S. Postal Service has been hard at work preparing for the holiday season. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to see the action live.

The event will feature a brief overview of the Parallel Induction Linear Sorter, or PILS, one of 600+ machines installed nationwide under the Postal Service’s network transformation and modernization efforts. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask about key holiday information, from shipping how-to's to key mailing deadlines to ensure packages arrive on time for the holidays.

Thank you for your continued support of the Postal Service. The Duluth Postal Service team wishes you a wonderful holiday season.
