Proposal talk:Office=courier

Handling collision when used with other pois

Hi can you guys help detailing naming tag like courier:<company>=yes or courier:[brand]=yes/office/subsidiary @Dieterdreist: @Rtfm:

Why not post_office

For most countries, where there is a national mail service, the phrase "Post Office" has a specific meaning to be one of the outlets for that service. People don't expect see a courier service when they look for post_office. And I believe one of the reasons for mosth of them not being added to the map already.

There are state owned and public private post offices at many places, they should be mapped as post_offices only.
But still that doesn't mean courier services to called and identified as post_offices.Their is a distinction between. I think using post_office tag for everything will cause much confusion. And this is the main reason why people use other tags and why this proposal was made. Please go through the mailing list of this tag and amenity=courier proposal and respective discussion page to get more idea --Muzirian (talk) 12:35, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Another difference is, post_office is where i go and drop it so it will sent out somewhen. The courier i need it for right now, you can't walk in, you call them and someone is cycling to your place, pick up a parcel and deliver it to the destination. Usally in the city and with bicycle for faster moving. And the controller/scheduler is working from the office of the company. So i will use this because it makes the most sense. --Negreheb (talk) 09:31, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
