The end result: The blue colored envelope I had seen 2 weeks back is staring right back at my face... why?? The to address got smudged because of a wet mishap... most likely at Mumbai because this thing reached Indian shores. The from address got smudged as well... but they managed to locate it from some sort of database... if they could get that, couldn't they have gotten their database designers to include the to address field as well? Guess its time USPS handed over its database operations to Bangalore!!!!
So, for $25, my letter had a roundtrip from Arlington Texas to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai.... I don't need to be Einstein to fathom that next time I want to take a vacation and go home, I won't call my travel agent, I'll call USPS and get them to pick up MY PACKAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha thats damn funny man! So did it reach India in the end or no?
Just for the sake of argument: What if the software was designed by a firm based in Bangalore?
valid enough a point from an argument point of view.. seriously but.. any database developer should have had this degree of sophistication to include the destination address for $25 postage.. I bet FedEX and UPS do have them... all said and done, the local post office gave me $25 cash as refund.. so all square now..
hmm...thats good..congrats...one more thing regarding destination address: Dont you think the address in India are little complex and take lot of space with too much redundancy? May be they have system to include destination address in US not in India.
