If the kid on the moped has too much to carry, it doesn't all get delivered. And what doesn't get delivered one day doesn't get added to the next day's either. And if it rains hard, don't bother walking to the mail box. USPS warns that they have no control once they hand over the sack at the airport.

Several weeks later, he finally got someone to actually look for it, and the package had been sitting in a warehouse a couple of kilometers from his apartment. No second or third delivery attempts. None of those attempted delivery postcards either. I also spoke to a woman who had been on an archaeological dig in Italy.
