Package returned after 6 and a half years

That is amazing!  Too bad the package can't tell you what happened to it lol

Oh my goodness!

I once had a parcel that took 8 months from Canada [airmail!!!] but 6 years that is epic. I have hope for the Quackers that never reached me and the couple of ponies I have sent out who never made it to their destination...maybe one day *dreams*

woah!!! thats amazing!!!

[Rachel-Eyes]

Whoa. That's the most insane story I ever heard.

That's quite impressive.
I have had TWO that I sent to Italy returned back to me after about 2 years. God only knows what happened to them but 1/2 the padded envelops was missing, it was all taped up and the ponies were basically destoryed and there was all sorts foreign stuff written on it.

That's pretty crazy, but I may actually have that beat! 

I saw an add for an item in a magazine that I got in 1989, and I scraped together the money and sent them my order and payment in mid to late 1989.  I never got my item, and eventually gave up on ever getting it.  I was home from college the summer of 2001, and I was picking up the mail one day.  It's just junk mail for my parents, a few random stray bills, and this one yellowed letter with a bunch of postal stamps on it including several "Return to Sender" marks.  The address was in my childhood handwriting.  It was the missing order, and it only took 12 years to make it back to me!

Does this restore everyone's hope in the postal system ?
