How do you recommend tagging that in the courier=* system I suggested? 

I tried to define the building function type (shop/delivery_centre/hub/warehouse) 

And to define the service operators offer: 
Courier:_brand_:ships=yes 

Perhaps the type of courier needs to be tagged. 

Courier:type=messenger (guy on a bike) 
Courier:type=letter
Courier:type=parcel (letter and parcel)
Courier:type=freight/logistics 
(is there fright/logistics tags? I dunno if people want to include it, but FedEx usually has a separate freight service (50kg or more) - but people are _not_ bringing 50kg pallets to a box shop. But defining a guy's shipping for logistics company is good 

Perhaps 

Courier:handles:letters=yes
Courier:handles:parcels=yes
Courier:handles:freight=yes
Courier:handles:automobiles=yes
Courier:handles:bio_samples=yes
(Medical samples are often done by special courier) 
Courier:handles:livestock=yes 
Etc 

Either of these allows for further courier definitions (vehicle distribution for sale or cross-country transportation courier:type=vehicle_transport) not imagined here. 

Maybe we don't need to tag this detailed for large national services (unless all this is set in a preset) - people know what they can do at their post office and what they can buy - but it lets people define it for lesser known courier.
