>>What I don't understand, though, is what the problems could be for the shipping of acute medicines as referred to<<
Shipping general kind of drug's I do not see as a problem. Now controlled drugs ie Valium, narcotics, pain killer's. I do.
Do you realize how much these drugs sell for in the black market.
You'd have every pimp and drug addict stealing everyone's mail.
>> Elderly people I know use the 800# call-in pharmacy at AARP and get whatever medicine they need overnight on the next day.<,

At this point they don't care about. If you have a pc? You probably have a credit card. Even with books Bezos doesn't go after the financially struggling. There's usedbooks.com for that.
Good luck to you too.
