Definition: The term "aeropostale" refers to a small post office located near or on an airport, especially one with limited facilities and limited services. The term was coined in the 1960s by American Postmaster General William A. Foster. The idea is that such a facility would provide customers with a more efficient service, rather than relying solely on mail delivery, which often involves long lines and slow response times. The airport has to be close enough for customers to get their packages or letters delivered in time for work or school. In terms of its definition, an "aeropostale" is defined as any post office located near an airport that offers limited services such as delivery of mail and other services not typically provided by larger post offices. The term is often used to describe small facilities with low-quality service compared to larger facilities located near airports. For example, in the United States, some airports have only one or two smaller post offices where customers can receive their letters or packages. These facilities are often run by a private company and do not offer traditional mail delivery services. In Canada, airports also have limited-post office locations that serve customers with limited service options such as deliveries. Overall, "aeropostale" has been used to describe small post offices located near airports that provide low-quality service compared to larger facilities, but are still relevant for some customers who may need them.
