Long Island is now home to one of the fastest postal systems in the United States: Postal Service

Special delivery!

Officials say Long Island now has one of the fastest mail services, the most efficient and reliable in the country thanks to the upgrade of a high -tech postcard covering all of its boycott.

A screening and delivery center was opened in an American postage service at the Huntington Station in Suffolk County last week as part of a $ 40 billion update voltage aimed at withdrawing the country’s aging postal system to the twenty -first century.

The move comes after the October opening of the Nassau County Center that was renewed in Hicksville – which makes the Long Island one of the only regions in the country where both provinces are fully updated.

“With these promotions, she now has one of the country’s most efficient mail systems,” a USPS spokeswoman Amy Gibs told The Post.

The officials said the results were already being delivered to residents throughout the two provinces.

“It is certain that customers get their packages faster,” said Robert Kastin, who oversees vehicle operations in the Atlantic 4 area, which includes Long Island.

Inside the Huntington Station facility, the elegant new machines can sort 6000 beams in less than two hours – a five -hour job. Transport companies can now form up to 500 stops a day thanks to the newly improved roads, previous transmission times and modern EV connectivity trucks.

Usps has already deployed 16 new RAM PROMSTER trucks via Sofolk, with plans to replace the 1400 -year -old boycott fleet.

EV can work for several days without the need for fees and are designed with a better vision, the easiest to break down and improve the work environment to help transport companies move faster and safer.

“These facilities and modern vehicles that make the postal service are more efficient, capable and more competitive in the future,” said Doug Tolino, director of the Doug Tolino.

Anthony Baron, who is responsible for the new Sofolk Center, revealed that, along with high -tech promotions, employees also started their working days half an hour ago to roam faster.

“We are used to start around 8 in the morning,” Baron told Newsdays. “They are now starting at 7:30. With this efficiency in improvement – the mail was processed soon – we can start transport companies soon, and our customers get their mail early.”

At the Hicksville facility, which was opened in 2024, the promotions included adding 57 EV post vehicles and charging stations, renovations to the employee breaking room and bathrooms and updating the sorting system with new machines.

Hicksville’s sorting and delivery center said he was using six airlines for a full day – nearly 50 hours combined – to sort today’s packages. Now, the same task takes two or three carriers about 90 minutes.

Long Island centers are just two of about 111 newly updated sorting and delivery centers throughout the United States as postal service tries to reversed contracts for postponed maintenance and submit its old network to speed, according to the agency.

Promotion thanks to the postal service that invests 40 billion dollars over 10 years is preferred to renew the processing, mail and packages systems, after they have already poured more than $ 18.9 billion in renovations at the country level, according to Jeebes.

In addition to faster delivery times, Braidon officials said that the new center improves conditions for workers – with more space, better lighting and simplified workflow to replace narrow infrastructure and aging that many centers are still working with.

“In a very instant society … you really want a reliable service you can get the next day,” said Michael Hotz, Usps office update manager.

“This is the type of consistency that we are trying to restore.”
