Dear Diary
April 19  
  My matzo from Netgrocer arrived in time for the Passover Seder.  I placed the order on Sunday and I was not expecting delivery until later in the week.  Netgrocer used FedEx Home Delivery service and Chip (I believe that is what the writing says) of FedEx left his card with name, address and toll free telephone number along with a magnet for the refrigerator.  The order was shipped out of New Jersey and I am impressed that it arrived here in three days (two business days).  Most impressive, perhaps, is that not a single piece of matzo was broken; each piece was fully intact (I can see myself using this experience in a hypothesis test question for a quiz next week in my probability and statistics class).  My hat's off to both Netgrocer and Manischewitz

I did not, however, use this matzo for Wednesday evening's Passover Seder as it was not kosher for a Passover -- I did not discover this until I looked on the box (this information was available online through Netgrocer's product "info" link and I admit that I did not check the matzo "info" prior to ordering it -- now I know for future reference to check carefully for this type of information).  I never envisioned myself mentioning religion as part of my research, however, in general, depending on one's religious beliefs and observations, one might want to investigate carefully certain information about items that are sold online (and in bricks-and-mortar as well) before acquiring them.
