Brian,
I have had a similar experience - but not as a result from any postal
worker strike here (I live in Holland).
Last week I received a small piece of Olympus equipment, mailed two
months ago from New Zealand. Although postage paid was for airmail, it
arrived here by boat! Some jerk in a NZ Post Office or mail
distribution center had made a mistake....
All my other mail from around the globe has arrived in normal times
recently (indeed 4-5 days for Oz and NZ).
Maybe this is what your letter has suffered from too.... but no
strikes here in the last few months (or years..?)
