Le terme «casier postal» pourrait être utilisé pour désigner un ensemble de boîtes aux lettres, mais les termes utilisés à Postes Canada pour désigner cette notion sont «batterie de boîtes aux lettres» (dans un immeuble) et «boîte postale communautaire» (à l’extérieur). 8, record 1, French, - case%20postale
