I don't necessarily think USPS is on top of their game given some of the employees they have working for them, but I don't think there's just packages laying around for years. From the article... make of it what you will:

"The U.S. Postal Service says deliveries that take decades to complete are rare.
In many cases, old letters, postcards and other items delivered years ago are dropped into the mail stream by customers who discover or purchase them in hopes that the Postal Service can reconnect the items with their original senders, recipients or family members, said Michael Hotovy, a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service."
