What:

We are opening our sorting operation at the Charleston, SC Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC) for one evening only. Media representatives are invited for a behind-the-scenes look at processing during our most rewarding time of the year. This is a great opportunity for news outlets to capture some processing B-roll for your holiday news stories.

We will show high-speed sorting operations and large bins of letters being separated and sorted.

We will have a spokesperson on hand to talk about processing, mailing tips and deadlines.
