No fine for 16-years-late postcard
LJUSDAL , Sweden, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- The Swedish postal service said it will not force a man whose postcard arrived 16 years late to pay a $2.50 fee. Posten recently sent Einar Persson in Ljusdal a copy of the postcard, which was postmarked Nov. 25, 1994, with a notice informing him a $2.50 payment would be required to claim the original item, but officials said the fee was levied in error, Swedish news agency TT reported Thursday. Persson, who said the sender died in 1995, challenged the fee and officials said the worker who assigned the fine likely did not notice the date of the original sending. Posten officials said fines are commonly assigned when there is not enough postage on the card , but there should not have been a fee in this case. "We always request additional fees when there is not enough on the card. We shouldn't have done that. We don't read the letters. The man did not see that the card was posted 16 years ago. The man who received the postcard should not have had to pay ," Posten press officer Per Ljungberg said. "I don't know why he had to wait 16 years for a postcard. Probably someone found the card and put it in the mailbox. We get questions about these stories sometimes every year. Someone got a card 30 to 40 years ago a couple of months ago, but I don't have any figures, I'm afraid," he said.Related Topics Articles:
