The Russian Postal Service and the Meteorite
One of the most popular jokes was that the meteorite was supposed to fall on
Dec. 21 last year -- when many believed the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world -- but was delivered late by Russia's notoriously inefficient postal service.

This is the only CD out of about 40 mailed out worldwide that did not get through. Apparently this is not an isolated problem with Russian mailings as the member asked us to send the CD to a friend in the US who would be able to get it to him. Bill |

Bill The solution to send something safely and fast to Russia, that I tested and that perfectly worked, was by FedEx. It was expensive though. BTW, it was the same carrier that I used to send important documents from NYC to Chicago. The common denominator is not difficult to find (no, it was neither the meteorite nor the end of the world . -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

IF you live in the rural, clean, friendly US, then they dump it off to some slob who may, or may not, bring it down a week later in the back of his pickup. |
