Delivery Drivers

[Kentuckyfarmer]

About everyone now days orders parts and other things online and we rely on mainly the two big delivery services to bring our goodies. I just wish one time in my life the little I have left one would come and go and the only reason I knew they were there was my order would be by the back door. I have never had one come and go that there weren't signs they were there. This isn't the worst but it's aggravating.

Time for a box at the road. Delivery to a specific door at the house? - consider yourself lucky.....not with the chewed up lawn but with a driver that will bring it to your door

Maybe you need a bit more crusher run on that edge.

Oh it's nice having delivered to the door but having to fix what is messed up after it gets dropped at the door I would rather pick it up at the end of the drive. I don't think they would drop it in a drop box at the end of the drive here. Never heard of it being done around here.

I had wooden box lights along my driveway - about a foot from the edge and about a foot tall. They got run over so I changed to a concrete pole 8' tall and mounted the lights at the top of the pole. Have to take offensive measures to "control the traffic".

I had to push the Purolator Driver out last winter. I knew they would get stuck, and vowed that I wouldn't help them (him) because they really screwed something up and I wanted them to have similar inconvenience to what they caused me. Heck, I'm just too nice!

You can see by the mud trail going back out it is plenty wide enough. But I also thought about buying some of those cheap reflectors and stick them in the ground along the side. I got a couple a few years back and shoved them in the ground along the lady friends yard along side of the road she lives on and I don't think anyone since then has drove in her yard.

My worse delivery experience was bought a stove from Sears and had it delivered. A big single axle truck with a 28 ft enclosed box brought it out. Three yahoo's in the cab. Ground was frozen about two weeks prior but thawed and on and off rain for almost two weeks. They pulled in the drive and drive around back of the house - thats where the drive went into the garage. Drive was about 800 ft long and none could back up using mirrors. Thought they would just turn around in the back yard. Barried the truck up to the front and back axles. Took my tractor and one ton 4 wheel drive truck to pull them out and then I had to back the truck out the drive. I had Sears pay for fixing that mess up.

We have UPS, USPS and occasionally FedEx deliver here. They all place the packages either right outside the garage entry door or right inside (or in really bad weather almost to the door into the house). My wife gives them all gift cards at Christmas (as she does for the garbage guy) and it seems to matter! UPS and USPS have even stopped to ask how we want stuff delivered.
