Unstaffed Postal Facilities
Mail boxes and post office boxes are already in widespread use for dropoff and pickup (respectively) of mail and small packages outside of post offices or when offices are closed. Deutsche Post introduced the Packstation for package delivery (both dropoff and pickup) in 2001. In the 2000s the United States Postal Service has been installing Automated Postal Centers in many locations both in post offices (for when they are closed or busy) and in retail locations. APCs can print postage and accept mail and small packages.
