I watched part of the "Mega Factories" program on Channel 73 yesterday (Sunday). It was about the USPS. I didn't catch where the factory was, but it was just ONE of their sorting depots anyway - they'd all be the same probably.
The level of automation was incredible to watch, and the speed with which parcels were processed was staggering. I'm not surprised it out-performs our operation.

The other was handed over to Aus Post in the US on Tuesday last week, tracking updates consist of "dispatched" and I have no clue where it is.
