Last October I bought some organ rolls from a source that I have had
several successful transactions with in the past.  I waited for the
rolls to arrive, but after a couple of months I convinced myself that
I had already received them and lost track of what/when I bought things,
etc.  It never entered my mind that the rolls weren't shipped to me --
so I forgot about it.

Well, five months later I finally received the rolls.  The box was
postmarked shortly after I paid for the rolls, did not show signs of
having been opened nor of any damage whatsoever.  It is my opinion that
they put the box on a raft and waited for it to drift to Israel.

Just curious -- what is the longest time that it took for others for
a package to arrive (one that actually arrived, in the end)?
