Royal Mail, Post Office and Parcel Force are three separate companies,
and have been for a number of years now, so care should be taken when
using the word 'or' in that way;  Royal Mail Sorting Offices have the
facility for customers to collect post, but can't be described as Post
Offices, since you can't, for example, tax your car there.

I will freely admit that, in some cases, the lines between the
companies and services they offer can be blurred.
