on a letter with the wrong address? How quickly does it get returned to sender? I just received a mis-labeled invoice I sent to a client in APRIL. Shocked 5 months ago. Is this average? Any postal workers da house tonight?

I was going to guess 16 years, 4 months, and 8 days, but since the po-po seems to know what he's talking about let's go with that.

Basically, you should expect your letter to arrive in N + 1 days from the date of affixing your stamp, where N stands for the incorrect zip code divided by Pi. It's standard postal service operating procedure. This technique was borrowed from the ancient Mongolian pygmy tribes and implemented right after Walt Disney's head was incorrectly routed to Dodger's Stadium instead of the Cryogenics Lab.

I once got a birthday card postmarked in July in February. I got a letter that the machine had eaten partially too about 3 months after it was postmarked. Not the same thing as you, but goes to show how ridiculous the postal system can be IMO.
