I don't see a need to translate the word "حركة" here. In my opinion "surface mail centre" is enough, but you could add the word "traffic" as suggested by AMT.
(By the way, you still haven't responded to my query on this and the previous question - it would be really helpful for answerers......)

Nesrin
: The word "postage" refers to the fees (as in your reference). I wouldn't use it here.

Agree with you too :) but as the asker provided no more info, I'd keep traffic and replace postage with mail :)
