printers, get collated, sealed, loaded into containers, boxed in bigger containers and get fork-lift loaded into the trucks. The Treasury is apparently loading some algorithm into their computers to regionalize, I bet by zip code, what is printed each day and shipped to the P.O. each day.

I used to work at UPS long ago and we did handle overflow P.O. bound letters, usually at Christmas, where pickups came from big offices (think: banks, lawyers, financial firms, etc.) who were sending out thank you cards.

Btw, I haven't seen yet any data of who is getting their checks first. What I mean is: I have zero doubt that Trump and his evil cabal demanded that the printed checks were to be sent our to red state zip codes first, California, NY and IL be damned with far, far larger populations. I suspected this some weeks ago as my gal's winger parents, who live in North Dakota, got a check VERY early on. Hence my suspicions.

We'll find out later if this true but I wouldn't bet the farm against my theory if I were you!
