<p>[QUOTE="harrync, post: 2635560, member: 58588"]Can anyone beat this: A few years ago I bought a souvenir card on eBay - just $5, no big deal, but it didn't show up after a month [I have had several items arrive a month after mailing.]. I had done a lot of business with the seller, knew he was a good guy, and wouldn't stiff me for $5, so just wrote it off as lost in the mails. THREE months later, it arrives - no postmarks [but pen cancelled - wouldn't want me to reuse the stamps, of course], and rubber stamped "Sent to Taiwan in error". Oh, it was mailed just a couple hundred miles from where I live. But actually, overall, I think the Post Office does a pretty good job. They once delivered a registered package to me with the state and street name wrong - but ZIP code right, so that probably made delivery possible. And my father once got a letter just addressed "[His Name], Los Angeles, USA". OK, it was back about 1940, but LA population was still about 1.5 million even then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
