...the address? So I was trying to send a letter to my boyfriend in Brazil (as a surprise) I was very careful with the address because I sent a post card to his friend and it never arrived. But this time I forgot to put 'rua' in the street name field. I was told it would take 10 days to get there and it still hasn't arrived. Would omiting the word 'rua' be enough to stop a letter from arriving?
