This combination will vary, but:
"Tag" level - a business that does something else ( a convenience store, a
strawberry farm, a department store) that offers courier service in some manner. Be it
local delivery or international shipping.
"Retail" level: a shop that is just for people to come in and mail stuff or
pick up something. You see this a lot in the US (the UPS Store) they might serve several
different courtiers as one (a Box shop).
Commercial Level: a local or regional distribution hub with a retail service
window/office. Tons of delivery trucks and a big warehouse that manages the
local package flow.
Commercial warehouse level - regional sort facilities and staging offices.
These massive shipping distribution warehouses are private and gigantic.
May I suggest to focus the proposal on the frontend for now? Let's find
a proper tagging for the place a customer goes to drop of his parcel,
mail his letter, buy his stamp, collect his poste restante, do his
banking staff or whatever. Let's worry about the backend (warehouses,
hubs, sorting offices, ...) at a later time. It's complicated enough and
the backend is suitably different from amenity/shop/office that worries
us now.
