Posstelsel: Verskil tussen weergawes

Die '''posstelsel''' is ontwikkel vir die fisiese vervoer van poskaarte, briewe en pakkies. <ref>In Australia, Canada, and the U.S., the term "mail" is commonly used for the postal system and for the letters, postcards, and parcels it carries; in New Zealand, "post" is more common for the postal system and "mail" for the material delivered; in the UK, "post" prevails in both senses. However, the British, American, Australian, and Canadian national postal services are called, respectively, the "[[Royal Mail]]", the "[[United States Postal Service]]", "[[Australia Post]]", and "[[Canada Post]]"; in addition, such fixed phrases as "[[post office]]" or "[[Advertising mail|junk mail]]" are found throughout the English-speaking world.</ref> 'n Posdiens kan privaat of openbaar wees, hoewel baie regerings beperkings op private stelsels plaas. Sedert die middel van die 19de eeu is nasionale posstelsels meestal as 'n monopolie van die regering gevestig, met 'n vooruitbetaalde fooi vir elke artikel. Bewys van betaling is gewoonlik in die vorm van 'n geplakte [[posseël]]..
