I’d be weary of using what’s on the box as the operator.  There are multiple 
types of drop boxes provided by USPS (also UPS and FedEx have multiple types).  
These have different restrictions on the type of mail/packages that should go 
in those boxes.  Putting in the wrong box can likely cause a delay in the 
transit time, and even could cause a return to sender.

Personally, I’d rather go by what the operator uses with legal terms.  
Examples: Copyright © 2018 USPS, Copyright ©1994- 2018 United Parcel Service of 
America, Inc., © FedEx 1995-2018, 2018 © DHL International GmbH.  This shows 
3/4 of the major operations near here use abbreviations.  Therefore, I would 
suggest abbreviations for all.

Sorry for joining this discussion late.

> 11 * united states postal service (used to be popular before Leif's mass
