Your phrase "covered with stamps" raises suspicions... anything out of the ordinary regarding postage tends to ring alarm bells and get a package lots of extra scrutiny; e.g. too much postage, or postage applied by a large quantity of low-face-value stamps. Even disregarding the possibility of extra attention from postal inspectors, it's possible the "Air Mail" marking was lost among the clutter of excess stamps. Also, if the postage applied was enough for surface mail but insufficient for air mail, it may have been sent that way rather than being delivered postage due or returned to the sender. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
