I've used amenity=post_depot quite a few times in the UK to mean precisely that. (In particular, I needed something to re-tag Royal Mail buildings to show that they weren't an amenity=post_office.) I chose post_depot as a more general term, that would be applicable to things that might be called a "Delivery Office", a "Sorting Office" or maybe even something like "Parcel Hub" or "Distribution Centre". The initial "post_" part mirrored existing "post_office" tag.
