mail rooms

Corporate delivery centers

A mail room is the department or space in an office, institution, or large building where incoming and outgoing mail is sorted, processed, and distributed.

In corporate settings, the mail room often 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.
