A location of one or more PO boxes.
In countries where the postal service is privatized, it is not immediately obvious where the PO boxes are located, as not all places that offer postal services will also have PO boxes. As well, there are locations that no longer have any kind of shop, but still have PO boxes accessible.
How to tag
Use the tag amenity=po_box. Set postal_code=* to the postal code area in which the PO box is located (not the postal code of the PO box itself, in countries where PO boxes are assigned different postal codes). Optionally use ref=* for the reference codes of the PO boxes, as well as opening_hours=* to the times when the PO boxes are accessible.
