This is the VERY first time this has ever happened to me. I had my medicine sent to my local fed ex facility as I like it better to have it held for pick up. While I was waiting to get my package and after I gave the guy my tracking number he outright asked me, "you're picking up medicine???" now, let that sink in for just a second. Everyone waiting in line heard it and it goes to prove that the fed ex people know exactly what's going on. That really scares me. I didn't know how to answer him. I just said, "yes, thank you" like it was not a big deal but on the inside I was shaking like a leaf. Has anyone had this happen to them???

Sounds like you handled the situation exacly as you should though. But I know it is humiliating to feel like your being labeled a "druggie" or something.
I attempted to pick up an order from my fedex hub once and was told by the desk clerk that I would need to bring an email from the pharmacy with the tracking number to show her before I would be permitted to pick up my order.
Since all of that, I've just had them sent to my house.
What a convienience huh!

how do they know that it's medication inside if the name on the return label doesn't lead them to believe that it is from a pharmacy in the first place though? It makes me wonder if they are keeping track of names of people for some reason. I am very suspicious.

I'm w\ you doesn't sound good. Maybe Fed-X circulates a copy of all the on-line pharmacies to personnel and drivers. Hope Fed-X is not going to get in the business of pilfering pkg�s like UPS or they are keeping records for someone!!!

At the start of "in transit", a big FedEx/UPS truck has to pull up to a warehouse someplace (lately seems it's in Tarrant county), & load hundreds, probably thousands, of those totally obviously express paks, each with one small, rattley cylinder in it, & a high-dollar Money Order slip attached, & adult-signature required. So at the start of the tracking process, there can't be any question what the product is. The courier service knows what they're delivering. Stand to reason the employees all the way along the line do, too.

Should we be worried? I'm not sure. But seems like so far, the only people who have actually been arrested regarding NROPs have been extremely rich & obvious owners, plus a few people who were being totally outragous...& from what I've read, those arrests were never for receiving a single package, addressed to the real legitimate recipient.
These other unpleasant experiences seem to be a few specific mean-spirited (or maybe just curious) clerks on a little power trip.

I'm more curious about Daisy Duke's experience: has anybody ever heard of that? Surely that couldn't be legimate, unless the shipper requested it, & then there would be a notice on the package? A picture ID, or two IDs if they really want to push it, should be ALL they need.

I had them at my fed ex hub take down my drivers lic. are they suposed to do that or was that wrong?

Because you were @ the HUB they wanted to make sure you were the person on the pkg BUT I would never let them write my licence info down.

I don't think having meds delivered is a big deal...I actually get legit ones thru my Dr. that way...it is cheaper thru my ins co when I do..also my sister says most of her husband's meds come fed ex or mail..he is a veteran...

" actually get legit ones thru my Dr. that way"

not to nit pick, but i don't think there's any Non "Legit" drugs being sent to people here.
Its all legit unless you break the law. Simply ordering hydro or benzos or whatever is not non-legit if there's a legit need.

I think the poster was referring the ROP's which hasn't been determined yet.

It is really none of their business what is in the packages they deliver that is what they get paid to do. I just wish they would do their job and keep their comments to themselves.
Who do they think they are anyway They have a job to do why don't they just do it.
Many packages are sent with drugs in them I recieve meds from AARP and my husband recieves his meds from the VA
it all comes from fedex I also recieve meds from two op's
for two different meds. they all rattle I don't know what my fedex guy thinks he has always been very nice says hi I sign and he always says have a good day there are some good drivers to bad they are not all that way.

I was talking about ROP's. Not the non-record OP's. Also, the only place that has written down my driver license number is UPS. I can't stand them anyway. Makes me feel a little guilty that they know what's going on though. I always thought that as long as the package didn't rattle, they couldn't really tell for sure. I went to see my actual doctor today and by the time I was done, I left with a prescription for 90 2 mg. xanax, 40 vicoprofin and 60 soma's with 2 refills on the soma. Total cost: (since I have no insurance) about $350.00 for the visit and the medication. I still think that ROP's are better especially in cost and time even if you pay $120 for a consult fee, but I'm beginning to worry about if fed ex is starting to watch us.

"Makes me feel a little guilty that they know what's going on though."

What's going on is that you're legaly getting medication you need (assumably)
You're not buying cocaine or herion...you're utilizing your legal right to obtain proper medications.
Its sad that so many of us are in a state of mind where we actually think we're doing something wrong.
We're not! (unless we're double dipping or doctor shopping)
