Post office to redeliver New Year's postcards that arrived too early

Japanese News. hehe.

UTSUNOMIYA -- A post office here is planning to collect New Year's postcards that were delivered too early and redeliver them on New Year's Day.
The Utsunomiya Higashi Post office reportedly failed to separate the New Year's postcards from regular mail and delivered several of them on Dec. 23, the day after they were posted. The error was uncovered after a customer contacted a car sales firm, telling the company that the postcard they had sent had arrived too early.
"We're very sorry," a post office official said. "We want to collect as many of the New Year's cards that were delivered as we can, and deliver them anew on New Year's Day."
After noticing the error, post office officials managed to halt deliveries of 13 postcards that would have arrived too early. The cards will be delivered on New Year's Day as originally planned. Post office officials said they would try to collect as many of the remaining postcards as possible, but the post office is reportedly unable to trace the deliveries. (Mainichi)
