[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 361070, member: 12570"] D, common sense has to prevail and, in the situation you described above, even though the customer requested (ok, demanded) front door delivery, if conditions did not warrant such delivery, common sense would tell you to find an alternate delivery location and then, when the inevitable phone call to your center manager is made, you have the basis of knowing that conditions did not allow you to make the delivery to the desired location but you did make delivery to a safe yet alternate delivery location. I would hope that your center manager would back you up in this case but, if not, I would rather have a Code 14 in my file than an torn up knee for the rest of my life. As far as the causes of action, I do not see the merit in either case. First of all, how would he have action against UPS? Was he told specifically by his mgt team that he had to make delivery to the front door irregardless of conditions which would make such delivery unsafe? Second of all, he may have action against the homeowner as he was directed by him to deliver to the front door but a good lawyer would simply ask if there were an alternate delivery location available that would have been a safer option on that particular day. Much of what I am trying to say goes back to your personal responsibility post, which made a great deal of sense. I would only add common sense to the equation. [/QUOTE]
