Welcome to the United States Postal Service's Bulk Mail Center (BMC) Information pages.
Bulk Mail Centers are highly mechanized mail processing plants that are part of the National Bulk Mail System. These facilities distribute Parcel Post®, Media Mail®, Standard Mail® and Periodicals in bulk form.
Each BMC or ASF serves as the trafficking hub for all ground shipments either originating or destinating at one of the hundreds of Post Office™ locations within its service area, and each facility is linked via ground transportation to its key service area facilities as well as the other BMC plants.
