Next millennium delivery for Russian mail shipment

1 hour, 18 minutes ago

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."

Kinda makes you wonder about all the folk that claimed the cheque was in the mail. And what about the interest on all those invoices?

You know, maybe that's why my letters to Yelena Kirpichinikova were never answered. She was my guide in St. Petersburg and Moscow when I went to Russia.

Wonder if I still had her address......

I think there might be a few other reasons to not mail a puppy.
