I'll add this: For years, my mom has been sending her indigent, 
alcoholic brother $400 cash every month (he doesn't have a bank account 
and the payday lender/check-cashing outfits take a HUGE cut). I've been 
keeping up the 'tradition' for her, but in all the confusion of a move, 
remodel, etc. I lost his address and sent this month's help to a 
non-existent address. It took 3 weeks, but a day ago I got the letter 
and money back.

Thank you USPS.
