Worked for the Post Office years ago
In Response To: U.S. Mail Question ? ()

(Christmas Assistant). Their method then was to send mail to a SCF (Sectional Facilities Center) to be further sorted and routed. The main post office for Los Angeles for this is (was) the World Way Post Office at L A International Airport. Our more local SCF is the Van Nuys Post Office on Sherman Way.

In recent times I have noticed mail sent via some strange places, such as Bakersfield for mail from Hanford to Los Angeles, etc. For Arizona I would think Phoenix would be the central hub. Having said all this, I have no idea what the USPS does nowadays to route the mails. Much mail travels by aircraft so maybe it has to bo to Los Angeles to catch one of the fewer and fewer outgoing planes? Not sure why it can't go to Colorado via 18-wheeler and I guess trains are a fanciful look back at history. (Think of the bandits holding up the engineer on the ol' narrow-gauge steam engine - oooohh, that's Knott's Berry Farm.)

Try writing a letter to Louie DeJoy . . . and see where that ends up!
