Hi Timetogo,

In my conversation there was no mention of any "stoppage" nation wide as of yet.Nor was there menton of hubs closing or jobs being cut. This al may be true, but it was not discussed with me.
I also do not think it actually has anything to do with COD issues and I am not sure why that seems to be a concern but if someone knows something I don't I would greatly appreciate an update.
By "no tolerance" I was primarily reffering to multiple shippments for the same addy, Joe picking up meds for John, James, Sally and Mary, etc.

just a portion....

FedEx refusing to deliver drugs to eastern Kentucky

PIKEVILLE, Ky. - FedEx has stopped delivering packages from online pharmacies to portions of eastern Kentucky where prescription drug abuse has become widespread.

"We don't tolerate the use of our system for illegal purposes," said Ryan Furby, a spokesman for the global shipping giant based in Memphis, Tenn.

It is much easier to afford a blanketed assumption that all online ordering is shady. Sad that this is where it's gone. Fedex does have an obligation to it's drivers however and it seems as though the appeal to drive for Fedex in KY is right up there with working QC in a nukes plant. People ARE getting held up, stopped in the streets, etc., for the medications on the trucks.
This is all I have got at the moment and as usual my members here are way ahead of me with info, though I certainly try to keep up. I will post more as I find out and hopefully we can get all of our info congruent.
