FedEx Won't Deliver Packages From Online Pharmacies to Kentucky

FedEx Corp. 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. Deliveries in some communities stopped two weeks ago, he said, and people who order drugs online must go to a FedEx station in London, Ky., to pick them up.
