[origin: WO2011076987A1] The invention relates to a sorting chute (2, 3) for conveying one or more mail items from previous stage such as from a sorting machine (4, 5) to a next stage such as to a next sorting chute (2, 3) or to a sorting destination such that the sorting chute (2, 3) comprises at least one deflecting surface (8, 9, 10, 11) which slows down the velocity of a mail item sliding along the sorting chute (2, 3). The invention relates also to a method for processing one or more mail items, such as packages, letters and bundles of newspapers or magazines, from a supply source and to a multi-storey system (1) for sorting one or more mail items. The method comprises arranging one or more deflecting surfaces (8, 9, 10, 11) to the sorting chute (2, 3) and the system comprises a fist and a second sorting chute (2, 3) comprising one or more deflecting surfaces (8, 9, 10, 11).
