Mail is sorted at the sorting office by postcode. The postcodes are scanned by the staff working there and sorted by region, then sorted again in that region to postcode districts.

Is the Post Office in Louisiana open on Mardi Gras Day?

No, it is not. While there may a small skeleton crew in the back sorting, mail is unable to move from the branches to the main office by truck on that day... so no mail would move anyways. Any mail dropped into a New Orleans mail box does not get into the transit system until the following day.


What is the difference between The or the?

The has a capital 'T' but a small 'the' does not. The one with a capital T begins a sentence. The one with a small 't' can be used anywhere in a sentence, except as the first word of the sentence. Examples: The postman arrived at the post office for the workday. He sorted the mail at the post office. After sorting the mail at the post office, the worker packed it into trays for delivery and loaded the trays into his truck. The post office calls sorting mail by hand "casing the mail". The postman usually cases the mail between 4a.m. and 5a.m. The post man then enters his truck and starts to make the deliveries. Postal workers may need to walk the route they are assigned, or some workers drive the route and never get out of the truck.

How does mail travel?

Mail travels several different ways. In the United Kingdom I understand that mail travels via many different types of transportation. This includes Lorries, Vans and your postman! For international postage, the item is normally picked up in the Post Office and taken in a van to the sorting center. From the center it goes onto an airplane to then reach the country destination. From the country destination it would most probably go via a van or a lorry to a sorting office which can then be either forwarded onto even more vans and lorries or, straight to your mail man!
