In a post above I mentioned a package from France that was lost in the mail. Yesterday, it arrived back in France, returned after 3 months and 4 days. It was a book my friend had authored and dedicated to me. It had to be handled manually for the USPS to return it and one can imagine the real cost to both country's mail systems to return it. So why wouldn't the postal employee simply look up my address and forward it? It's not like I'm a John Smith, my name is unique in the world.
