In one embodiment, a package sorting system has a sorting module that has a sorting station, an infeed conveyor, and first and second pairs of outfeed conveyors. The sorting station has a front end, a rear end, and first and second sides. The infeed conveyor conveys packages from an infeed end to the front end along a rearward direction. The first pair has first and second outfeed conveyors that adjoin the first side and that convey packages away from one another along the rearward and frontward directions, respectively. The second pair has third and fourth outfeed conveyors that adjoin the second side and that convey packages away from one another along the rearward and frontward directions, respectively. In operation, a person or machine at the sorting station receives incoming packages from the infeed conveyor and selectively places each package on one of the first, second, third, and fourth outfeed conveyors.
