Believe me. They will definitely deliver your mail, whatever condition the mail is, dry or wet. They will NOT throw it away, if the mailing address is still attached and identifiable. They are not allowed to throw smelly mail away either, I believe.
Over the years, I have received envelopes immersed with lotion and ointment samples in more than one occasion. I've also received my tax document (1099-INT) in pieces, which was resealed in the USPS "We-are-sorry" official filmzy/paper envelope. So far, I've received those USPS-we-are-sorry packaging for about 6 times in the last couple of years. It doesn't happen very often but it does happen. I mean the savaged mail and the delivery of it.
Well, fish oil does have a strong scent and will take a while to fade away. I agree, lemon may be your best saver.
