Now I often complain about Canada post, and I just spent a month waiting for a package that was sent airmail from Texas. But 90 years???!!!!!!
What are some of your snail mail horror stories????

Guess it's no tall tale that the post office is slow! LOL
I've things take weeks to get 8 hours away. Makes you wonder for sure!

Wow!!!! 90 years is something! Wonder whether that postcard will be kept or sent to a museum or something! What a long time to be delivered!

The article doesn't say what the senders family will do with the postcard, but I think it would make for a great addition to a museum of WWI memorabilia. Yeah 90 years!!!

I have heard of that before. Not 90 years but about 15 or 20. It makes me laugh and wonder where the heck it was all this time. If they ran it through their machines wouldn't it pick it up that the postage was obviously wrong. I actually was mailing some letters yesterday and one was to Scotland. Now normally when I mail to them it takes 10-14 days which really I don't think is bad. I know stuff mailed to me locally is only a day or two. I think they do a pretty good job for the most part.
