I've left some stuff in interesting places but never in an area you're describing.


I mean 9 pm in the country down a long lane I've never been down. Yeah if I have a bag it's getting tied to a tree somewhere down the lane.

DR gate.

The UPS guy always brings them up to the front door.

I used to live in an apartment with a patio which had a 6 1/4 foot wooden fence...which also happened to be the only way in/out. The FedEx guys never knocked, and almost always threw the packages over the fence as indicated by placement and condition (and I saw them once). The UPS guy would bring it right up to the door, knock, and either hide it under the swing or if the package was small enough, stick it between the screen door and the regular door.

Working at UPS has certainly changed my opinion of the company, and not necessarily for the better, but I still prefer UPS over FedEx as a customer.

I love the ones that say palletized load only. They are usually beat all to hell.


Uh duh.

I had a 150 lb pkg from Amazon the other day a long one that said mechanical lift only....I struggled with it but put down 1 in the Diad under over 70 and that made it all better

 

[cheryl]

And leaves them in the rain?

Not that I remember. We have a roof over the porch where the front door is. Fedex ground leaves our packages on top of the community mail box or next to a wall by a community driveway. UPS brings them to the front door.

6 and a 1/4 foot fence...thanks for the exact clarification... Lol

I order online all the time. Not all deliveries are UPS. Tony filed 2 complaints with Fedex ground this week. The first for leaving 2 packages shipped by google that contained 2k worth of phones on top of the community mail box. The second complaint was for leaving an envelope shipped by google containing sim cards in the rain next to a wall down by the street.

I would bring them to the front door also.

If for no other reason, just to keep you from trashing me on one of those online forum thingies.

The devil is in the details; I'm 5 feet 10 and a half inches, and one of those little marks.

If anything, I wasn't exact enough. It was a boarded wooden fence, so it's not like any packages could be slipped through the side. And being taller than most adult males, it's not like they could reach over and gently drop it either. That's the point I was hoping to illustrate, but I was also in a hurry when typing that.

 

[HEFFERNAN]

Hate those 9 foot rugs because you know that I'm a week you'll get a call tag to pick that bitch up

Had some woman order 2 of those this summer !!!
145 lbs each !! yeah OK

A week later, 2 call tags !!!
Loved seeing that split go to the rookie that day, hahahaha.

 

[Scottyhawk]

People that order online keep you employed. Wouldn't hate on them too much.

You are correct, but it is the people that keep ordering oversize packages and then returning them that I do hate

 

[Wally]

what do you all think of these little lovelies?

DR and book out of there because they are damaged.

I plead guilty to many stealth deliveries.

 

[HEFFERNAN]

I bought a patio heater this summer from Amazon.
FedEx Ground delivered the box hidden behind my house.
Damaged box with a trail of washers and screws in the driveway.
Ended up going to Home Depot to get replacement hardware for the missing ones, LOL.

 

[BUCN85]

I remember maybe last year restoration hardware magazines must have came it by the 1000s. Must have had 30 stops of just those. Strange they didn't just get sent to the mail

 

[sailfish]

...those poor turds dont know that asking the customer for help is an approved method...

A couple weeks ago I had a guy on a second floor outside apartment get some big thing that weighed 110 lbs. I brought it to the steps on a cart then went up to knock on the door. I told him what I had for him and asked if he wanted me to help him bring it up; a nice, indirect way of saying I'd be leaving it at the bottom of the steps if he didn't.

 

[Lead Belly]

We didn't just increase the BS fee. We supposedly doubled it.


That should be nice for the bottom
Line.

I was told the upped the price partly to loses some of that volume for peak season.

I'm sure that was the plan. Doubt it works.

They will get rich or while we die trying.
