mail room

Corporate letter hub

A mail room is the department or physical space in an organization where incoming and outgoing mail is processed, sorted, and distributed.

In large companies, the mail room handles packages, interoffice correspondence, and shipping logistics.

Working in the mail room is stereotypically an entry-level position: He started in the mail room and worked his way up to CEO.
