Title: Looking for Documentary/video of post sorting
Post by: Hearts on July 04, 2013, 02:03 pm
I'm looking for a Documentary or a video, preferably on youtube about an insider on how mail is sorted, as well as for international mail and what not.
I'd like to see the machines and better yet, a step by step video of how things work..

At the moment I am only a buyer and not planning on becoming a vendor anytime soon, but i'm just curious as to how it all works. Anyone got a link of some sort? Bored out of my mind waiting for my delivery which should arrive next week (earlier hopefully) and i'm out of stuff that I previously ordered...

I have searched youtube but I might not be phrasing it correctly, again, preferably a video!

For example this part of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hIXWRiBbrb0#t=1704s

I've posted five or six of these videos on here before.  It might prove difficult to find them in my post history though...

Seriously am curious at what kind of camera they used, pretty good quality and for it's battery to last that long!
