The intention here was not to give you a flat advantage but rather to make the progression feel more rewarding as you progress from generating local mail to regional and overseas. This mod aims to resolve the bottleneck issues that occur when you're generating more mail than the storage you have available but still have mail being deleted on delivery.
The values are based on using existing game mechanics such as Post Office, Post Box, and Airmail Sorting Office to increase your total island mail capacity, if you feel they are too high but that the existing values are too low; then you can simply adjust the values in the file yourself.

The reason for the decrease in radius in the Arctic Post Office is that the Arctic Lodge has a reduced radius in comparison to Town Halls in the other regions. This discrepancy makes for incredibly awkward Post Office placements. In a late game, you'll want your housing covered by an Arctic Lodge but you don't want the Post Office to have a radius that's significantly larger because it prevents you from building out another residential grid nearby. I feel that this was an oversight by the developers as a result of GU 15 and so I reduced the radius to bring it more in line with how Post Offices function in relation to Town Halls. E.g. 24 Post Office with 20 Town Hall and 19 Post Office with 15 Arctic Lodge.
