USPS to shift some volume as it installs new sortation equipment

The U.S. Postal Service will temporarily send some volume to alternate processing locations as it installs new package sortation equipment in multiple facilities this month, according to an April 1 agency announcement.

As a result of the volume shifts, Postal Service customers may see processing scans reflect packages being sent to alternate locations during installation. For example, originating package volume normally handled by the agency’s Lexington, Kentucky, processing and distribution center will use a location in Louisville as an alternate site.

Some facilities aren’t expected to see any impacts from their installations, such as the Postal Service’s regional processing and distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee. The agency also said there are no impacts to customer drop locations or appointment scheduling in its Facility Access and Shipment Tracking (FAST) system at this time.
