Hey there! Today, we wanna tell you Boxy's story. Ever since Boxy was a young, flat sheet of cardboard, he's dreamed of being filled with something important — like a birthday present! — and then going to the ultimate Package Party in Memphis on his way to deliver it! And today, it's happening! Noah’s grandfather in Scotland just ordered a stuffed Panda from Li. Li’s workshop is in Beijing. That means Boxy will be at Noah’s house in Indiana tomorrow — for his birthday! Li's assistant, Zhang, stuffs him with tissue paper and prints a shipping label on the store computer.

– Noah’s grandfather in Scotland just ordered a stuffed Panda from Li (this is her workshop). – How will I get to Noah’s in time for his birthday? Lots of businesses, like Li’s, have a scheduled pick up every day, when a truck stops by to collect packages.
– Li’s workshop is in Beijing, where the buses are pretty reliable. Li tells Zhang to leave work early — just be sure to drop me at the nearest Shipping Storefront within the next hour and we’ll make the deadline! – At the Shipping Storefront, Li’s assistant hands me over the counter to a clerk who scans my label with a hand-held device. – I’m at the airport and being—yep, scanned again and—loaded into a huge metal container called a Unit Load Device.
– Each of us boxes is a “unit.” Together we make a “load” and this device – sometimes called a “can” or a “pod”–resembles a giant version of me, a box, only full of shelves and usually made of metal.
– ULD’s come in all sizes too, but a typical one is about 88 x 125 x 96 inches.
– Looking at a map, and seeing all that ice and tundra, a box might think Alaska is in the middle of nowhere.
– And, while Alaska has a relatively small population—about 740,000—the hub there is huge! – Alaska’s Cargo Hub is the fifth largest cargo airport in the world and the second largest in the United States.
– Countless packages get sorted in Alaska, but our plane is just stopping for gas.
– Referred to as “The Big Sort,” the Package Party is a lot like a birthday party. – The light scanners can read us and tell the mechanical arms and sorters which group we belong in. – Our labels have more information than just our address, they also have our weight and dimensions. – I’m not sure if I believe the rumor Elvis Presley worked there, but it’s easy to believe that the Memphis Distribution Center is the largest package sorting facility in the world. It’s over 880 acres. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
