This cultural significance makes it a key hub for various tribal communities, which can influence delivery times during major cultural events or gatherings.

The city experiences seasonal weather changes, with winter snowstorms potentially affecting delivery schedules, while the summer monsoon season can bring heavy rainfall.

The infrastructure in Gallup is well-developed, with a combination of highways (such as Interstate 40) that facilitate the movement of goods. The USPS operates multiple post office locations in the area, enhancing local accessibility for shipments.
