Amazing isn’t it? How nice it would have been to suddenly receive mails which dates back to 1999 - yep a good seven or so years. This amazing stories come from Russia and affects not just one russian but a whole country of them and 4.5tonnes of letters and parcel. I hope no one send any dead fish in that container.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Post has started delivering 4.5 tonnes of letters and parcels that were sent from the United States in 1999.
The state-owned postal service said the delay was not its fault — a shipping container with the mail inside had languished at a port in Finland for years. The container finally reached Russia on December 8.
“The loss of mail usually happens because of force majeure circumstances, such as natural disasters, traffic and other accidents,” Russian Post told Reuters via e-mail.
“All of the mail has been very well preserved because the container was hermetically sealed.”
