A courier delivery service, which is not a post office or national post.

This tag is proposed to be used to tag an office of a courier service which may offer various services like booking,drop off and pickup etc. A courier is a person or a company which delivers messages, packages, and mail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier

Courier services differs from post offices as, a post office is usually a customer service facility forming part of a national postal system, while courier services are mainly privately operated.Also many post offices offer additional services: providing and accepting government forms (such as passport applications), processing government services and fees (such as road tax), and banking services (such as savings accounts and money orders) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office

For vending machines like parcel pickup/dropoff stations see amenity=parcel_locker.
This shouldn't be used for post offices.Use amenity=post_office for them.
