Product placement
The Tiny Post (a) ACTS: it is the product being assembled, packaged, and shipped by the creator in the video. Removing it would change the entire premise of the video as it is the subject of the 'side quest'. United States Postal Service (b) APPEARS: it is the location where the creator drops off the mail. Removing it would not change the core activity of the video.
