How would you rephrase it?
He let me out at the post office.

You could say "by the end of the week" or "within the week" and you'd have the same meaning.
To rephrase the sentence "He dropped me off at the post office," you have a couple of options. You could say, "He let me get (out of the car) at the post office," which implies that the person driving allowed you to exit the vehicle at that location. Another option is, "He made me get off the bus at the post office," which suggests that the person's actions forced or compelled you to exit the bus at that specific place.
Regarding your statement about time, you are correct that "within the end of the week" and "by/before the end of the week" have different meanings. "Within the end of the week" means something will happen before the week ends, but there is no exact time specified. On the other hand, "by/before the end of the week" indicates that the action will be completed prior to the week coming to a close. The time frame is more specified with "by/before."
