Mail re-route.

[stampie78]

I live in NS Canada. I just today received my lottery winnings from the Jan lottery.

I wonder if this is the reason for the delay.

My address on the envelope was in very large letters and quite clearly printed.

Wonder what this postal clerk was smoking.

Chris - thanks for the extra US defs. Now to go looking for the different types. Weekend work.

It's because he didn't use any Liberty Bell stamps. Any mail going in/out of Metairie requires Liberty Bell stamps. Otherwise it gets delayed in the Bermuda Triangle. Remember that next time you want to mail anything to Kris.

This is all part of postal regulations -- note they even have a handstamp prepared for just this occasion!!!

stampie78, and kacyds, Yes my lottery winnings were missent as well - but I thought it was because I was in Australia - mail is sometimes slow. I posted because it seemed such a wacky place ie the British Virgin Islands - to have something missent to.

With that mail being sent so far off course, The least they could have done is throw some stamps on the envelope for you.
