Postal Service Launches Seven New Sorting and Delivery Centers

The Postal Service™ will launch seven new sorting and delivery centers (S&DC) around the nation in September 2023. These S&DCs are an integral part of the Postal Service’s Delivering for America plan to create a best-in-class processing and delivery network.

The S&DCs will revitalize our network of nearly 19,000 delivery units — the last stop for mail and packages before they are delivered by our carriers. The Postal Service has targeted key markets where it is beneficial to aggregate delivery units into fewer, larger, centrally located S&DCs — leveraging both repurposed and new facilities — to simplify the entire network and create a more reliable and efficient infrastructure.

The schedules for the new S&DCs launches are listed below with the ZIP Codes™ they will serve:
