Postal Branch
A postal branch is a building where people go to send and receive letters and packages. It's kind of like a special store all about mail!
When you send a letter or a package, you need to put it in an envelope or a box and write the address of the person you want it to go to. Then, you take it to the postal branch where a nice person behind a counter will weigh it and ask you how fast you want it to get there. If you want it to get there really fast, you pay more money, but if you don't mind it taking a little longer, you pay less money.
Once you've paid for it, the nice postal worker will put a special sticker on it with a barcode and a tracking number. That's so they can make sure it gets where it's supposed to go and they can tell you where it is if you want to know. Then they put it with all the other letters and packages going to that same place and it gets put on a truck or a plane or a train to go to its destination.
When someone sends YOU a letter or a package, it goes to the postal branch closest to your house. Then a nice postal worker puts it in a special mailbox with your name on it. Then they put a key in your mailbox and that tells you there's something waiting for you to come pick up!
Postal branches are very important because they help people stay in touch even if they live far away. And they help us get things we need, like birthday presents or medicine, even if they come from far away.
