In Japan, the post is like this.
I think most of the post in Japan is like this red colored box.
When I went to Germany, the post was yellow colored box.
Frequency of collection an delivery depends on the location of post.
Usually, they collect 4 times a day,. maybe.
This post system in Japan started in 1871. We imported the system
from Britain.
Well, when you see post or post office, you would see the symbol,
「〒」
Can you see it on the photo?
This is the symbol of post in Japan.
I did not know that this symbol is individual in Japan.
I heard that people started to use this symbol when Japan imported the
post system. I thought this symbol is common all over the world.
But it was not true.
Thanks

Hm, I don't think those symbols are international - at least I haven't seen them anywhere else.
Here in Denmark we also have red post boxes for sending out letters - they are collected twice a day, but not on Sunday.
Hm, I can't upload pictures here to show you - sorry.
In Denmark there is a relatively new thing that they made for collecting packages - since many people are not home at the day hours when packages are delived on the address. Now there are so called post-stations - its like many post boxes that are available 24/7 - packages are delivered there, and you just go there and collect your package when you have time. Cool and convenient :)
Post station sounds convenient.
Thanks for telling about that.
Is post red colour in Denmark?
It is interesting.^^
