mail center

Letter sorting facility

A mail center is a facility where postal items are received, sorted, and distributed.

In large organizations, the mail center handles incoming and outgoing correspondence for the entire building or campus.

The term also applies to retail establishments offering mailing services, package shipping, and mailbox rentals: I stopped by the mail center to send the documents overnight.
