Brand new house. Went to deliver all the appliances. Karen at the door said that if we got so much as a spec of dust or dirt inside the house she would sue. Called the manager and he said "Bring it all back". We did. Life is too short to take it seriously or to deal with Karens.

@@anthonybarefoot6744 my cousin worked at Lowes and I would hear so many horror stories.. she has autism (high functioning so if you weren’t told you wouldn’t know) and she was on lunch talking to her friend / coworker and it came up and her manager overheard and unprovoked started treating her like shit and saying, “I heard you have autism, I hope you understand I’m not going to be any easier on you because of that because no one in the real world cares about your autism…” and her manager would just be mean and cruel to her based on something she overheard two people talking about. And she would say it every week at least once just to be cruel, she would ask my cousin to do something and follow it with, “and you better have it done right and on time and I don’t wanna hear excuses or about your autism” all un promoted as my cousin never complained or brought up her autism or try to use it as an excuse or crutch… she literally just mentioned it one time in casual conversation to a coworker/friend. Finally I told her that she doesn’t have to put up with that kind of abuse and what is essentially being treated poorly due to a disability so I had my lawer contact the store and say that he had heard from a “customer” me.. that overheard this manager verbally abusing a worker about her autism and that is a clear OSHA violation that also violates the Americans With Disabilities Act so you might want to stop doing that as you are literally breaking a law. My cousin never heard that bitch say anything about it again and the horrible woman apologized and luckily my cousin got the hell out of there the second she graduated college and now has a great job in entertainment and got the job based on her senior thesis on the portrayal of autistic people in media as well as their mistreatment in the workplace.

A few years ago, I ordered a large amount of lumber to build a deck in my backyard. I paid for curbside delivery, which I knew meant at the curb. However, after chatting up the driver for a short while, I asked if he could help me get the load into the garage, which would save me a lot of work. At first, he hesitated, saying that technically he wasn't supposed to do that. However, he agreed to meet me more than halfway. He offered to back into the driveway and get it as close to the garage as he could. I was grateful and thanked him for his extra effort. After he left, I carried the boards one at a time into the garage, which was a lot easier given that it was close to the garage. The experience illustrates one of the most important lessons my parents taught me: treat people with courtesy and respect, especially if you want something from them that you haven't paid for. This lesson about respect applies to everyone: teachers, delivery workers, store clerks, police officers, and anyone who has to deal with the public. It boggles my mind that so many people think that piss and vinegar will get them what they want in life.

The shipper would normally provide their customer with an itemized bill of sale that the driver would give to the customer to verify that he got what he paid for but can do this on his own time, at his own pace and not make a driver wait for it. If there's a discrepancy, the customer can take it up with the shipper later. In this instance, the carrier should charge the shipper for a refused delivery (usually 1/2 hour) and return the goods at the same rate that they were going to deliver it for. The extra cost would have to be born by the shipper and not the carrier who in this instance is faultless. The shipper can recover from their customer if they think he's being unreasonable or trying to get something for nothing. The trucker can't because, as a third party, he has no contract with the customer.

If the order ain't right, don't take it out on the driver. It probably passed through no less than 3-5 other people's hands before it hit his. All he does is throw some straps on it, fight traffic, and take the abuse when it ain't right.

[@jeffb957]

Drives me crazy when this happens to us. I love it when builders act surprised that you can't drive thru piles of dirt, rocks, trash or over trenches with sewer lines. I also have to deal with no steps getting up into new homes and sometimes houses on stilts. All we ask is to be able to get close to house. I deliver cabinets and it's not easy hand trucking those things through mine fields of a yard.

All he was asking is for you to go up and look to see if you could make it through his gate but you wouldn't even do that. You could have looked at the bill of lading and told him over the phone what the shipment contained but you were unwilling. You provide service to customers thats your job, not just a delivery driver.

[@robertfredrick2937]

Wrong !! The "Bill of Laden" will state if it's an inside delivery or not, usually at the bottom of the bill. An "inside" delivery will be an additional charge and depending on the weight, on the "drive way"(asphalt) most times a "NO GO". The homeowner was looking for an easier way for the delivery. I'm almost positive he didn't pay for an inside delivery, he should have bid the guy "Good Day" and moved on...Delivered for over 35 years, if it can't be done, move on...

[@Hugolegobyggare]

" get paid to drop it at the curb" even tho you got a lift at the back of the truck crazy times we live in, i don't blame the customer a bit delivery guy acted lazy n selfish

[@wheelie642]

I agree. The driver should have walked to check out what the customer was asking. Forget about anything else. He needed to stop being lazy and go look. Maybe he wouldn’t be able to get it into the back yard but maybe they would come to an agreement where to leave it if he just took the walk. The driver is passive aggressive at being lazy. If I was the driver I would have done a much better job offering customer service. I would have walked away with a big tip and a big thank-you even if I could only leave the delivery by the road. He was a lazy disrespectful driver that could have shown the contract to the owner then say, “ Letme take a look, if I can help you out I will” Easy. Very very easy. Cooperate If it was not possible to do as the customer asked the customer would have let the driver make the delivery because the driver at least made an honest effort. I got a $50 tip today as a wheel chair van transportation driver. I made the passenger extra comfortable and played Irish music on the radio for him because he was Irish …I didn’t have to do all that I did but I just treated the passenger as I would want to be treated. It took very little effort to give extra good service. I was rewarded for my troubles.

[@frankwurth5375]

I feel your pain! I do deliveries for a large Greenhouse operation in the Midwest. We send large quantities of live plants all over. I've run into these A Holes all the time. Best thing to do is say good bye and go home, the guy is just being a D##k to exert his power over the lowly driver. He'll call the boss with a sob story and try to blame everything on the driver and insist they redeliver. If the vendor company has any sense of ethics, they will charge him for the restock fee and tell him to go somewhere else. It's also very possible he had a sub contractor lined up and P O ed them and they walked, so he's looking to find excuse to send it back at the companies expense.

Looks like he didn’t want to have to haul it by hand to the backyard. He should have talked a section of fencing down.

[@hymatwat9412]

Exactly

[@adamfirst9321]

If he was in the middle of a build, and really wanted the wood, he would have tried to work something out.. He didn’t seem interested in the wood at all, and was looking for any excuse to refuse delivery…. and kept getting more anxious as the driver was unstrapping the wood.

[@Theyralltakenfu]

Ran out of money

[@trvrsln]

“Let me take a look at it before you unstrap it… that’ll work.” But then refuses delivery and says it’s the wrong stuff when you won’t guarantee where you’ll leave it? Makes sense.

[@lulu-iz7bv]

I don't think he looked at it closely at first. If it was the wrong stuff, the old guy would get stuck hauling stuff up to the house and back down for the pick up. And up again with the right stuff. He was rude to the driver. It was not the driver's fault; but I can't blame the guy for not taking that delivery. There was no way he would have known that they would send it on that huge vehicle--that wouldn't go up the drive. Also, it was the wrong stuff! I would have been a lot nicer to the driver, buy I would not have accepted the delivery. When I order lumber, etc... I expect it not to be delivered to the side of the road, where I have to haul it up to my property. Even the driver made mention of the traffic.

[@pootthatbak2578]

Customers and consignees: here is how to take a delivery. If a trucker calls you for directions ANSWER YOUR PHONE!! we dont need to be stressed out looking for your unmarked shed, hidden field, we need landmarks! No matter how grouchy you feel, BETTER START BEING ALL CHARMING AND HAPPY when your 2000 pounds of crap arrive. Say hello, offer a drink, pretend the driver is your mother. Settle for what the driver can do for you..we do this every day, we know how far we can go without getting stuck. Many drivers DO NOT drive up over sidewalks and driveways, our gear cracks concrete and blacktop..and we dont want to fix the ruts in your grass either. Sometimes we are in a big hurry ,bosses dump as many deliverys as possible on us. Check for damage, you can verify the freight against the packing list/ invoice. If you need special delivery..thru the woods, past the curb, up the steps, at a certain time YOU HAVE TO PAY ALOT EXTRA. just cause your a cheapskate dont go begging an innocent driver to do extra work for you..we are busy too
