As a follow up, I just see it as the right thing to do. For me it’s a positive distraction from a job that can sometimes be a real PIA. I was allowing myself to get stressed out yesterday, we had way more volume than expected. The kid’s packages and another stop whipped me back into shape. The other stop was a NDA letter containing a check so the consignee could buy a plane ticket, her Mom had passed away.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow UPS’ers!

Punching out at 7:45 on Christmas Eve creates the scrooge attitude.

Maybe you should stop delivering your stops dressed as your avatar. I mean, I know you stay warm and cozy in that suit, but I can see you taking on the very character. Besides, where's the UPS logo? LOL

Merry Christmas, BM and all my fellow BC'ers.

I had a woman call in a complaint because I ruined her sons christmas. I was delivering a shelf system stereo and had a roughly 20 yo sign for it. I guess he still believes!!!!!!!!!

It's not a suit, I'm just a hairy individual.

Whoops, my bad, hope those Christmas clippers come in handy.

No wonder the wife got me a gas powered weed wacker.

i must say that i am proud to be in such good company as all those who still know what it is that we deliver......service.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all the good life.

I do my best to conceal the packages from the kids, but at some point I have to get the thing delivered, especially if it is big and taking up space. The parents have the option of shipping the package to their work instead of home.

 

[No such person]

I'll usually knock on the door and explain to the Mom or Dad. Most of the time they'll ask me to leave it at a neighbors or meet me up the road in their car. If no one is home, oh well.

If people are home I will go out of my way for them to get it inside without the kids seeing. If they are not home, then too bad/so sad. I've even gone to the door with thepackages all stacked up behind me to hide from the view of curios eyes. Then I get hte fun mission of explaining to the customer what is behind me. Luckily I am a pretty big guy and can easily shield a couple generations of Ethipionas, so a cuople of packages are no problem.

Christmas is about the kids so I have no problem going out of my way for people. And it's a pretty small town so we all have to stick together.
