What:

The Detroit National Distribution Center (NDC) in Allen Park, MI will handle millions of packages this holiday season. We are opening up our parcel sorting operation to the media for one day only.

We will show customers what happens behind the scenes when their packages leave the post office. It’s industrial, but there are some really great visuals of high-tech package processing, large chutes of parcels, and employees sorting parcels manually.
