1totally agree or how the people that wnt you to put it upstairs in their bedroom even had i women ask if i was going to put it togetherYour right!! What are we a furniture delivery company? The sheer size of them makes you have to deliver that stop right after all your air stops because you'll have liitle or no room to work otherwise. What gets me also is when these "LADIES" return half the stuff the next day, because we either damaged the oversized crap or its the wrong item or whatever I hope UPS makes a profit on this stuff because it sure uses up a lot of company resources to make one bulk delivery.
I agree with your vaild points. In general our system of buildings, trucks, conveyer belts, irreg carts, platform for loading etc.. has not been kept updated enough to handle this account and others like it. I mean the irregs in the morning alone are a complete mess in my building not to mention the pass system and the dispatch by computer joke that has become of most centers. We choke on COSTCO tires and FRONTGATE is another account that slows up our preload. Our trucks are about 2 inches apart, I have to climb through two other cabs just two get in my package car or walk about 40 yards around and up on the belt climbing over the preloaders work to go in the back. Why because they stack package cars tight just to put all these irregs close to the belts. I'm not bitchin about the work! Just give us the right tools for the job and half a chance to get out of the building on time. Hell, our hand trucks/dollys are cheaper and smaller than they used to be. We all go above and beyond what is needed to overcome these oversized obstacles because that is what we are faced with but I wonder how much better we could do with newer buildings and equipment.
