I once lived in Ankara, Turkey and had my family send me a cassette with the latest album of my favorite band from Gdańsk, Poland. Never got it and moved on (and moved out).

I got a message from my former neighbors 9 years after the tape was sent, informing me, it has arrived. (It was around early 2000s)

AliExpress has been really good with refunding late broken or missing things for me.

A few years back I got something from Etsy after like 4 months because it had to clear Russian customs. It was a handknit Doom monster plush.
