Hmm, why doesn't she order them herself, and pick some bogus address that her
staff is well aware means "deliver to us." Hmm, like the actual street address
of the Post Office??? :-) (that would then be a funny way to initiate a new
driver, sub him in on the route which includes the Post Office, and watch as he
manhandles the boxes into his truck, and sets off to deliver, only to
realize... yup, they go right back where they came from... :-)
