Is it still open?

I've not seen anything from there for quite a while now.

Was it not set up for Christmas and then switched to chinese packets / 2c overflow from MC's.

I also believe it was manned primarily by Angard/casuals and was seen as the model for future Mail Centres.

I'm at HWDC. My understanding is that they're still open and taking the overflow of import parcels.

We're having two new PSMs up and running after Christmas, so that's supposed to end after that.
