I called yet again last Friday, 6/26 and was told oh, you didn't receive 
them?  (WTF have I been telling you folks for the last week?!)  We'll 
send them out again, no charge.  It will take 5 business days.  No 
problem, I don't wait until I'm *out* of medication to request refills. 
Well, I didn't bother to check my mailbox on Saturday, 6/28.  I looked 
in it when I took the trash can out to the end of the driveway 
yesterday, 6/29.  What's in my mailbox?  The original order.  So I 
called again and said my original order was *finally* delivered so 
please cancel that re-order request.  This guy spoke English with a 
decidedly Southern accent named Clint (yay! someone inside the US 
answered the phone).  He said sure, I can cancel that; to confirm, you 
finally got the original order and don't need us to re-send them? 
Correct.  And from now on, let's revert back to me picking them up at my 
original in-network pharmacy (Publix).
