The system100receives mail in a transfer basket120hung at an outer circumferential edge of a mail sorting and distributing turn table110and transfers the mail through a transfer port122to a conveyor basket130, which circulates on a mail sorting line O. The conveyor basket130includes an inner circumferential side carriage131and an outer circumferential side carriage132, which respectively travel on an inner circumferential side rail142and an outer circumferential side rail143of the mail sorting line O while hanging a basket body133by both sides in a carried state.
