5 months it took to get back here
Poor Kittys didn't get there treats and now I'd be afraid there old and a couple of things were broken. Looks like the box has been through a world war
I think by looking at the paper it said there was 6-11 Taxes de renvol, whatever that means I have no idea. I was shocked to see it I'll say that ..
I told Ann maybe I will get doubles and try again, I can't be that unlucky two times I hope

OMG - That's unreal!

I'm glad it found its way back to you, though, rather than being lost forever!

I said it must have gone By way of Chicago, Anne said it appears to have gone through Canada Customs or France so they need to brush up on there reading skills
5 months the box looks like it has been shot in a war
I'm still not to Happy with the Postal service, I could have had DH take it there

That's crazy!
I remember once, years ago, someone sent me a letter. At the time I lived in a small town called Belgium...you can imagine where it ended up...I got that letter about a year later, after it took a tour of Europe!

I had that happen to I sent My Step daughter a Birthday Card with a Gift card in it, and she lives in Brazil Indiana, Well it went to Brazil

How can they read that and assume its Brazil without looking at the rest of the address

LOL that is so weird!

Twice in one night, we received mail sent to the wrong country - one was meant to go to Switzerland, from Australia. The other was from the UK, meant to go to Australia. Hmmmm. I will never know how that happens!

First I was going to blame the obvious -

I got a letter I sent to my mum back last week too, I had sent a copy of our company newsletter to her and my sister, but my sister was moving so at the last minute she said send it to my mum's. My sister got hers and it said my mum's was undeliverable (a regular size envelope that could easily fit through her letterbox)
Something wrong with Canada Post and Royal Mail

I have had mail problems too - I ordered some haynets online from a firm in the UK and the first package never turned up anywhere. Then they sent them again and it got returned to sender. Finally on the third go I received them. And that was only UK to France! But I am glad at least you got it back - your visions of someone else's kitties enjoying the treats can be put to rest.
