Snail mail is what we called the normal postal mail and it is as slow as the snail in Poland. An IT worker, after receiving a letter on January 3 that was sent on December 20 as priority mail, calculated that a snail would have made it even faster to his home than the letter. Daily Gazeta Wyborcza said Michal Szybalski calculated that it took 294 hours for the letter to arrive at his home. He also said the distance between his home and the sender was 11.1 kilometers. What can you say about that and they do not call it snail mail for nothing... LOL! More: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080124/od_nm/mail_dc;_ylt=AvX3CqJIkhlNDauWCrCFgQISH9EA

Sending international snail mails take a long time, too! I remember waiting a month for a certain mail, and my friend waited another month to receive my response. Talk about a slow paced mode of communication! Could they be that they're waiting some more mails before the postal office send it?
