If it's not unambiguous by context that one is expecting a US Post Office
specifically, I might point you in the direction of a Postal Annex, UPS
Store, FedEx Office or Lone Star Express, since they all offer
approximately the same services (passport photos, shipping and packaging
being the common elements) and are probably closer than a US Post Office.
Now, if someone were to ask me "Where's the post office for 74137", then
I'd give 'em directions to the US Post Office in downtown Jenks, Oklahoma,
which serves that town and adjacent neighborhoods in Tulsa.

I don't believe DHL has customer-facing locations in the US at this point,
though; I seem to recall since they're Germany's national courrier that
they had a bit of a terf spat with the USPS, our national courier.
