A sorter is a person or machine that is used to sort objects. A good example is found in post offices where mail must be sorted so it can be routed to the correct destination.
You can't. The post offices are closed.
The purpose of mail bags surprisingly varies, from transporting mail to and from different post offices to delivering mail on foot to local residents.
i was thinking the same thing but i just got the mail ;-)
Depending on the location, the mail is sorted electronically or by hand. The mail sorter reads the address. If the handwriting is eligible, it is manually sorted. Then a postal worker might notice the mistake and correct it.
Post offices are important because they provide a physical location for sending and receiving mail and packages. They play a critical role in facilitating communication, commerce, and connecting people across distances. Additionally, post offices often offer services like money orders, passport applications, and other important documents.
Mail delivery involves collecting, sorting, and transporting mail from a sender to a recipient. Mail is typically collected from mailboxes or dropped off at post offices and then sorted by address. It is then transported via various methods (such as trucks, planes, or trains) to reach its destination for delivery by postal workers. Once delivered, the recipient can collect the mail from their mailbox or have it dropped off at their doorstep.
Post Offices
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.
Many times Post Offices have lobby drops for local, metered and stamped. Some have drops for Express Mail.

There were not formal post offices yet, however mail did come to civic gathering points, such as taverns and churches. Benjamin Franklin became Postmaster General in 1775 establishing the USPS.
