delivery hub
Package sorting facility
A delivery hub is a central facility where packages and shipments are sorted and redistributed to their final destinations or to smaller local facilities.
Logistics companies use regional hubs to consolidate freight from multiple origins before dispatching it onward: The package sat at the Memphis hub for two days.
Hub-and-spoke distribution systems route everything through these central points rather than shipping directly between locations.
