i'm in awe that any of you have gone into any customer's house, apt, etc.. i wont even carry a 150 pound pkg into grandma and grandpa's house. UPS's liability ends at the door, anything in that door is YOUR liability. I politely inform them that liability dictates i can not enter and then i will set the pkg in the door if they want, and say have a wonderful day
Let's turn this around. Suppose it is your Grandma and Grandpa Dupa's house and the 150 lb Power Chair from the Scooter Store is sitting by their front door because "UPS's liability ends at the door..." While you may be technically correct, are you really doing the right thing? Would it kill you to take the extra minute or so to bring it in to the living room?
I try to base my decision upon the situation, both at the delivery location and how the rest of my day looks. A little good will goes a long way, as does a little indifference.
What's terrible is to see dogs (any animal) that obviously not being feed. Came across 2 dogs on route I ran you could see every rib they had and were just very sick acting malnutrition. .
My Grandma or Grandpa can call me and I will go over to move their package wherever they want it. I don't expect, nor do I want a stranger(UPS driver) in my grandparents' home. Put package down in doorway, slide it in far enough to close the door, say thanks and good-bye. Going into customers' homes is an unnecessary risk with little or no benefit.Let's turn this around.

Comet, I would be concerned over this. Horders are worse than the average neglectful person, and will use every excuse in the book to justify their need to keep their animals. I think I would report this as a concern to the county health dep't and animal control. Most people would understand the concern and if are operating above reproach would have no problem with an inspection.There is also a house I know where the customer has to have any where around 50 or more cats in a house. She said its her cats house she doesn't live there when her mother passed she brought her cats over there to live. She takes in cats from everywhere her poor mother has probably turned over in her grave over all those cats in her house.

I have reported neglect and would again if the need arose. Any person that would abuse or neglect an animal is the lowest form of life and does not deserve the space they occupy.
I have worked grave-yard before and stopped a Circle K to get a beer. You funny looks at 6am standing in line with a beer and everyone else has coffee.
