<font face="Verdana">My analysis:</font>
<p><font face="Verdana">If we refer to wikipedia (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office</a>)
the term post office, postal service refers "</font> to
government postal facilities providing customer service." in
most parts of the world. And luckily wikipedia refers to the
German situation: "Private <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier" title="Courier"
moz-do-not-send="true">courier</a> and <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_delivery"
title="Package delivery" moz-do-not-send="true">delivery
services</a> often have offices as well, although these are
not usually called "post offices," except in the case of <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany" title="Germany"
moz-do-not-send="true">Germany</a>, which has <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Post"
title="Deutsche Post" moz-do-not-send="true">fully privatized
its national postal system</a>."</p>

<p>Thats actually only discribe the position of "Deutsche Post"
(refered throw the link) but not the other private postal service
providers. (And it need to citation btw). <br>

<p>I'd like to propose the following to get this discussion going
again and proceed with the proposal since it looks fine and
clearly defines a need in the community:</p>
<p>Do not introduce a new key but use the existing office=courier
or office=logistics (I know, not widely used but .. better then
to introduce a new one which is not used so far). Attribute
those with keys to describe the services offered, which might
use post or postal terms in the values but do not define them as
a post or postal office, much as is somehow clearly described on
the English Wikipedia for the German situation.</p>

<p>In that opinion I should map the supermarket where I can buy
stamps, send mail and send parcels for "biber post" on the normal
cashier-desk with amenity=post_office, office=courier and
shop=supermarket? Wich brand I should note and so on...? Or should
I know create 3 Notes? <br>
How I should go at the kiosk where I can buy stamps for "biber
post", send mail with "Deutsche Post" and parcels with "Deutsche
Post/DHL"? <br>
I've look at the naming of the postal service providers - they
often name them "service points".... <br>
