    Somehow, I think I'd actually be happier if it was in Houston!

    The benefits of scanning tracking - not only do they stuff up but they give you documentary evidence that they did.

    I wish I could say that Ihad never heard of anything like that happening before but...

    I hope the package was well packaged and you don’t get charged by the km travelled.
    Regards,

    The package will have quite a story to tell when it eventually arrives at your place!.

    Your only hope is that someone in Greece can read English and drops the package in the bin destined for Australia.

    It actually warms the cockles of my heart to know that the USPS isn't the only one. . . . .

    A co-worker once received a letter, about 10 years past its postmark, with an imprint stating, "Found in equipment thought to be empty." Apparently, this happens often enough to justify making a rubber stamp.

    Cheers,
    Joe

    My girlfriend's mother posted a letter to her when we were living in Darwin a few years ago. It took nine months for the letter to go from country Victoria to Darwin. There was no rubber stamp on it but it looked like it had been a coaster under someone's coffee mug for quite a while from all the rings on it.

    Sent a Christmas Card to my wife (then girlfriend) from London to Israel as a surprise.

    18 months later, it arrived in Melbourne!

    Maybe the package will arrive smelling of Karelia’s and Ouzo having enjoyed a few days on the beach ...

    What's the chances that the Greek Postal Service will not be able to find the address locally and send it back to the good ole USA?
