During the period of British rule over the Land of Israel, post offices were established in more than one hundred and thirty settlements all over the country. Some of the post offices were opened in old and established settlements, and others were established in new and sparsely populated settlements that came up on the ground a short time before. One of those settlements was Kibbutz "Afikim", where a local post office was opened in 1945.

On November 27, 1912, the United States Post Office issued special postage stamps to collect fines in the parcel mail service.
