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).
I refer again to the previously quoted Wikipedia entry "mail":Â "The
mail or post is a system for physically transporting postcards, letters,
and parcels." - Just because there are many private providers and no
state postal service in Germany, these are still postal services. And
wikipedia clearly includes parcels here.

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?
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"?
I've look at the naming of the postal service providers - they often
name them "service points"....
