May I suggest to focus the proposal on the frontend for now? Let's find 
a proper tagging for the place a customer goes to drop of his parcel, 
mail his letter, buy his stamp, collect his poste restante, do his 
banking staff or whatever. Let's worry about the backend (warehouses, 
hubs, sorting offices, ...) at a later time. It's complicated enough and 
the backend is suitably different from amenity/shop/office that worries 
us now.
