Omashu delivery system


 * This article is about the mail system of Omashu. For other uses, see Omashu (disambiguation).



The Omashu delivery system is a mail and package delivery system used in the Earth Kingdom city of Omashu. The system consists of a series of slides and chutes though which various parcels go in order to arrive at a certain destination. It is powered by earthbending and gravity; earthbending sends the packages up the slides, whilst gravity moves them down.

As seen during Team Avatar's visits to the city, the slides are rigged with a wide variety of loading docks, again powered by earthbenders. It is unclear whether or not certain chutes slide into particular individual structures, though this is unlikely, considering the quantity of residents in Omashu.

History
A younger Bumi and Aang used this system as what Bumi referred to as "the world's greatest super slide", by placing themselves in a cart to be sent down a steep inclination. This provided the cart with a large amount of momentum, giving a sensation of adrenaline to the riders. In 99 ASC, Aang took Katara and Sokka to Omashu, where he urged them to ride the chutes. After almost being impaled on a rack of spears, Aang managed to get out off the chute with them still in their cart, sliding down rooftops and destroying them along the way. Their cart went too fast and ended up crashing into the Cabbage Merchant's cabbage stand, which got them arrested. After completing all the challenges that Bumi assigned to Aang, they slid down the delivery system, to remind them of the good old times. Later, Princess Azula used the carts in an attempt to pursue the Avatar, though she ultimately failed.

Trivia

 * The goods transported via the system are varied, and not packaged in any way, as seen when Tom-Tom and Momo land in an unconcealed cart full of berries.
