Unless you've ordered something and are expecting delivery then it's almost definitely a phishing scam.

Lot's of similar mails and attempts in Google. This one is almost identical.

Mark it as SPAM and DO NOT open the attachment.

An what d'ya know, I've just received the exact same email ! I definitely didn't order anything. Spam without doubt.

The attachment contains PWS:Win32/Fareit.gen!H.

The link above is to a website describing the threat. It's a key logger Trojan. When you extract the file it's icon appears to be an Acrobat .pdf document.

The dodgy English in these things should be the first clue, things like "for it`s keeping in the amount of $7.77 for each day of keeping of it."

We see a lot of the UPS ones and also BBB (Better business bureau) What's more surprising is how many people ask our IT guys to release them.
