What:

The Minneapolis/St. Paul Network Distribution Center will handle millions of parcels 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 curtain when their mail and packages leave the Post Office. It’s industrial, but there are some really great visuals of high-tech, high-speed processing, large chutes of parcels, automated systems, and people sorting mail and parcels manually.

When & Where:

Thursday, December 19 from 2:00 PM to 3:00PM (tour starts promptly at 2:00)
Minneapolis/St. Paul Network Distribution Center
3165 Lexington Ave S, Eagan, MN
