Many years ago, we had some serious snow here in England, I ordered some CD's from CDNow in America, after a couple of months they hadn't arrived, I contacted them and they were about to ship replacements, I ventured into my back garden and there they were, the postman had thrown them over the gate into deep snow, the snow had melted and there they were!!!! Fortunately they had been packaged well and survived the weather!!
