Packages that make customers sad

[govols019]

There's a dentist in my town that has all his pets cremated when they die and wants them put in the casket with him when he passes on.

She wasn't upset; seemed glad to have him home.

If I told you the full story of this particular delivery, you would not believe it.

You ended up banging her right

What are packages customers DON'T want to get? I noticed whenever i deliver those Chase bank saver envelopes either the persons house has all the blinds shut or if they see me they give me a depressed look. Like this one guy was all happy to see me then i handed him the chase envelope and his smile flipped to a sad face.

Another one i haven't got much reaction too but i think are bad is those envelopes shipped from health centers that always need a sig and are usually next day. Are those things something that basically tells a person if they got cancer or something? Because that is what it seems it would be. Anyways, any others you can think of?

Every once in a while, we get a straight shot of 5,000+ prescription drug/medical product recalls shipped UPS ground.

I've also seen (once) an account we have for a company that produces caskets for infants. Really got me down that night once I realized what we were sorting.

We had a State prison not to far from us so every once in awhile I would deliver a box of personal items that was being sent home when their man got locked up. Being it was a State prison I'm sure it was safe to say they would be going away for awhile. The women were always uglier than a mud fence.

When I was a preloader, I loaded a really light, poorly taped box. It opened as it was hitting the shelf. It was an infant burial gown. I taped it back up with tears in my eyes.

Well I can beat that story. I delivered a man's ashes to his widow; and they were sent COD.

Talk about disrespecting the poor guy; should have sent him prepaid.

How much was he worth?

I like getting signitures from girlfriends or second (third) wives from DSS for the unpayed child support. just wish i could be there when the deadbeat comes home and realizes she signed

 

[brownmonster]

I've had those. Even had their pets name on the package. Rough.

Why?

Must have been a good horse.

I dislike getting signatures for the pet ashes...

At least you don't have to worry about them opening the door and letting sparky out to naw on your ass....cause sparky is in the box.

The worst delivery I ever had to make was several large boxes containing all the personal belongings of a serviceman that had committed suicide.

The address was a nice house out in the country on a large piece of land. The long driveway curved through tall pines going back to the house. As I got closer to the house, I could see his mother standing in the carport; just waiting.

She knew,.....and I knew.

Worst delivery I had was for an apartment of a middle aged lady that had just died that day unexpectedly. As I pulled up, the police were outside, the building manager told me what happened. I explained I had a package for the lady and asked if she would accept it for her. She refused and walked me over to the deceased lady's father who was sitting outside who was obviously distraught and asked him to sign for the package. I apologized and handed him the DIAD...he signed and as I was leaving I said what I always say..."Have a great day!"...Not one of my proudest moments to say the least and to this day I wish I hadn't delivered that package.

There's a nondelivery option in the DIAD for "deceased". I've had to use it once.

Used to be,not an option anymore. At least in my DIAD.

Gets all his pets? How many does he have that die? You make it seem like he gets ashes all the time. I'm suspect ing foul play

 

[govols019]

Him and his wife run a dog rescue....he seems to think his animals will go to heaven with him.

His love of animals is his only redeeming quality...he is a miserable human being.

Wow man. Thats the worst thing you could have done. I really hope this story is BS

Deliver a lot of school hearing letters.....sure the parents r not happy or proud

 

[Box Ox]

Restoration Hardware catalogs. You'd think you'd dropped a turd on the front doorstep hearing some of the reactions on the way back to the PC.

 

[BSWALKS]

Why?

Guess I wear my heart on my sleeve. At the time, one of my dogs was very sick, and I had a good friend, who's dog was getting close to the end.
