When was the last time a shipment arrived late?
We have benefited from the comforts of contemporary logistics since the birth of mass transportation.

We can mail letters or place orders for packages from another state or nation and expect them to arrive at our door.

Unfortunately, the system is not without flaws.
There may be mishaps along the road, causing packages to be delayed for days or weeks.

One family, though, received a box from more than half a century ago. Stephani Russo was taken aback when she discovered an unusual surprise on her doorstep.

Stephanie Russo told a news station, ‘We noticed two parcels on the outside of our door.’ ‘At first, I didn’t pay much notice because we’d received a lot of parcels in the previous month.’

We can quickly forget that we bought something a month ago if we are frequent online consumers. The package was taken by the family.

They weren’t prepared for what they found inside.
Inside the parcel, they discovered two trippy posters. They were vibrant and symbolic of a bygone period.

It was a banner for some sort of beverage that the family couldn’t figure out. Who among them placed the order for the posters?

They tried to find any hints because no one from the Russo family had ordered the shipment. One was found taped to the package. It was a package from the 1970s.

‘The first thing I noticed when I checked the items was the postmark, which was March of 1971,’ Stephanie Russo told the news source.

Two posters were meant to arrive at their home, but they arrived 50 years late. Can you picture receiving your order after more than a half-century?

To put it in context, the package was still making its way from Nixon to Biden at the time. The Russos opted to search down the recipient rather than dispose of the packages.

They began looking for the former residents of their current address. They discovered a name belonging to a John Feigert after doing some research.

He is now living just outside of Atlanta. Feigert revealed that he resided at the Russos’ current address when he was 13 years old.

Feigert place the responsibility on his father.
According to WPTV, he remarked, ‘Audubon calendars with commercial stuff and so on and so forth, so very cool.’

His father was rumored to have a habit of randomly writing corporations and requesting items. The posters were misplaced, according to Feigert, and instead of disposing of them, the post office delivered them anyway.

‘I believe it was recently discovered, and I believe they were aware of it,’ Feigert stated. ‘I assume they noticed the date and thought, ‘I’ve got to send this on.’’

One poster was saved by the Russos.
The other one was sent by Feigert. It’s fairly uncommon for packages or mails to arrive after a significant delay. In Lithuania, a letter from Poland arrived.

When Genovefa Klonovska got the letters, she assumed she was being pranked. The letter had apparently fallen into a ventilation hole, and when it was discovered, the post office opted to send it on.

‘It’s so good that the letter didn’t matter.’ Klonovska told The Guardian, “The loss was hardly life-changing.’ ‘What if they handed a misplaced suitor’s letter to his love, and their wedding never took place?’
