**Ducking the Issue -- NOT**

Apparently, I failed to mention in my initial post that I called Dartagnan
as *soon* as I looked more closely at the packing slip and saw that it was
meant for someone else (the Fedex label on the outside of the box was indeed
addressed to us). Since my husband had placed some orders with Dartagnan, I
just thought someone on their end had been a bit overzealous!

Dartagnan *suggested* that I keep the mushrooms, since they would have been
worthless by the time they were picked up and redelivered (also, they are
not packaged but loose in crates). When I asked how to store the duck
prosciutto until it could be picked up next week, we mutually agreed that it
was not cost-effective for Dartagnan to have that picked up (also the issue
of being responsible for perishable food that out of their control). Since
this all transpired about 4:45 on a Friday afternoon, the stuff would
definitely have to sit *somewhere* until Monday.

Just defending my honor and integrity,

Thanks. I feel a little cleaner now.
