What does Facebook have a mailing facility for? I wasn't aware that they sent or received a large volume of packages.

  For employees to send and receive packages. Most large companies (at least in the Bay Area?) have mail facilities.

    Oh, that's cool. I've never worked in a building big enough to need more than a couple people in a mailroom to handle that. Also, I guess I've never had my mail screened for sarin.

      "Mailing facility" doesn't have to mean "warehouse", it can also be "we want to use more fancy words so we'll call the (large) mail room a mailing facility".

        At the larger bay area companies, it's usually an entire office building dedicated to nothing but processing mail. Similar to college campuses. I think "warehouse" is an appropriate term in these cases. :)

  They have enough employees that they need a central place to receive mail and make sure that it goes to the right place. Also, they scan packages for sarin apparently...

  A lot of people have all their Amazon Prime stuff (and other online orders) shipped to work. It's better than having it stolen off the front porch while you're not at home. Not sure if Facebook allows this, but most companies I've worked for have been OK with it as long as you don't go overboard.
