The difference between 'bring' and 'take' has to do with the location of the speaker. If he is at the post office, he should say "bring it [to me] at the post office." If he is not at the post office, he should say, "take it to the post office."

There are two ways to say this idiom: " [subject]X rather than Y" and "rather than Y, [subject] X"
That is, "Christopher sailed rather than accept" is the same as "Rather than accept, Christopher sailed."

We only use 'an' when the next sound is a vowel sound. 'Honest' begins with an 'ah' sound, so takes 'an' before it. 'Only' begins with an 'oh' sound, so also takes 'an.'
'Once,' on the other hand begins, with a 'wuh' sound, and so doesn't need 'an.'
