subject: Re: WARNING RE PURITAN`S PRIDE SHIPPMENTS

If you do a google search you will find FED_EX has a much better reputation 
than UPS for most users. I would contact the company as you obviously have a 
moron driver delivering to you. I would guess that it was an ex UPS driver, 
but I don't think FED_EX would hire anyone who worked at UPS, :-)
