As I wrote before, it is not because something does not exists in one
country, that one has to vote against a proposal. One has to try to
understand that different countries with different traditions and
tagging needs.

In Belgium you can e.g buy tax stamps in a post office, and not in a
courier office.
I doubt people will go to DHL/UPS/... to send their Christmas cards.
We also know that you  can do certain money transactions in a post
office, etc.

So in case there would be a office of one of those couriers where one
can only bring parcels, it would be nice to have a different key.

I also do not understand why people do not want that there are 2
different "top" level tags for those two concepts. If you need to use
the data, you can still merge the 2 features. That is much easier than
trying to split them, especially since the proposed tagging is
amenity=post_office and amenity=post_office + courier=yes. Which means
that the current data consumers will make no difference between the
two.

We have different words for the two concepts in many languages, so why
can't we use those two words in mapping/tagging ?
