Mark,
No, I was not planning on converting post boxes to the 'correct' operator
value regularly, but that sounds like a good idea.
Martijn,
I have very little opinion in which value of operator should be used, as
long as they are consistent. I think that basing the 'preferred' values on

I’d be weary of using what’s on the box as the operator. There are multiple
types of drop boxes provided by USPS (also UPS and FedEx have multiple types).
These have different restrictions on the type of mail/packages that should go
in those boxes. Putting in the wrong box can likely cause a

Hi everyone,
The opinions expressed on the USPS/United States Postal Service tagging
have been very mixed, with seemingly equivalent numbers of people
supporting both options. Based on the following facts, I have decided to
convert the tag "operator"="USPS" on post boxes to "operator"="United
It would be good to standardize on operator tags for the 4 major carriers
as you mentioned. The logos for DHL, FedEx, and UPS have those exact
letters in them, so if people map what they see, then they will end up with
those exact values. However, as mentioned, the USPS logo actually contains

Can we please leave it as USPS? Other shippers UPS, FedEx, and DHL are also
abbreviated.
The “expand abbreviations” rule is really for street addresses, not everything
in OSM.
Taginfo can show you what values are currently stored in the `operator` tag:
Hi Peter,
I would like to do the operator value conversion this weekend, but would

Leif,
What's the next step in your process on this?
I prefer the "operator"="United States Postal Service". Not only does it
match the sticker on the side of many blue mail boxes (

), it follows the general OSM guideline
Because they are labeled "United States Postal Service" with big stickers,
that's how I've been tagging them.

Hi everyone,
A couple of days ago, I noticed that different post boxes in the United

system. Roughly 60% had "operator"="USPS", 40% "operator"="United States
Postal Service", and about 15 similar to "operator"="United States
