Behind the Scenes at the Dublin Mail Centre

Have you ever wondered what happens to your letter after you drop it in the post box? Your mail goes through quite a journey from the moment it slips into that post box.

This video takes you behind the scenes into the Dublin Mail Centre where the mail gets sorted before it continues on its journey to the intended recipient. Everything from letters to packages gets processed by a range of sorting machinery and incredible speed throughout the night. It really is quite impressive!

The Dublin Mail Centre is one of four mail centres; the others are based in Athlone, Cork and Portlaoise.

What a great video. I especially like the clips of the conveyors.... the software to control them looks really good, it must have been a good engineer who wrote it  :)

You need a narrator to tell us exactly HOW it is sorted. For example, are all parcels barcoded and sorted by barcode readers ? Are business and personal letters sorted by handwriting image readers ? Why not offer a premium service to people who are willing to put a barcode address on their mail ? Can we get any quicker delivery by sorting barcoded items locally rather than sending them to the giant national mail centres ?

The cost of postage in this country is scandalous and "An Post" is an unfunny joke!
