SCP-130 is an abandoned South African post office that still delivers mail. Open the wrong parcel and it might deliver you instead. An investigating agent vanished after opening one. Six days later, the agent arrived in a package, comatose, with postage markings tattooed on their back. Returning the enclosed envelope through the outgoing slot woke them up. The building repairs itself. Mail appears at sunrise and sunset on working weekdays, subject to postal holidays. Uniformed staff sort it into bags and transfer it to a marked vehicle so it can safely leave. Untouched bundles disappear into the world's postal systems. The initial white-only staffing restriction is explicitly removed in the post-apartheid addendum. The mail includes unsent letters and items displaced in time. Outgoing parcels can turn up before they're posted. Using information to change events requires a two-thirds Overseer vote. Counterfeit postage payments provoke a lethal response. One recipient was drawn to the building without having planned to visit. The bizarre part is how much of the ordinary postal system survives all of this. A parcel can arrive before anyone sends it, but someone still owes postage. A human being can become a delivery, complete with administrative markings. Containment depends on following the service's procedures closely enough to inspect the mail without becoming part of it. Leaving the building alone doesn't stop the deliveries. It just means the Foundation loses its chance to intercept them. Based on SCP-130 by MisterFlames, SCP Wiki.
