Angry Customer says "I'm refusing the delivery unless you can get it to the backyard" reup
Ойын-сауық
Good morning everyone so today we had a delivery going to this customer in which we gave them an hour call ahead and he had a whole attitude on the phone before we even got there which is the story you were hearing when the video first turned on. pulled up to the customer's house and he doesn't understand what a curbside delivery means and then begins to tell us that he doesn't want the material unless we can fit it through a gate by wiggling the machine through and we had not even seen what the site looks like so we offer to just take the material off and see what we can do when we got up there but that wasn't good enough for him. Customer refused to order We ended up bringing the order back to the shipper.

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. So there is some justice and a happy ending

No It's not prick, It's the highway, and I would teach you a lesson you wouldn't forget. I always use a payment method I can cancel if I need to. I have proven this on many occasions, I pay for a product to be delivered properly, an appliance into the house, building materials where they need to be, and I always check with the company before payment. My contract is with the supplier, not the driver. If he tells me his not going to do as I paid for, he can piss off with the delivery.

After about an hour, the HD guys comes and says, “They said I have to take it, but I don’t have a place to put it.” I called dispatch and relayed their message. Dispatch said “Leave it!” How can I leave it if they won’t unload it? He called whoever he had to, and I guess they still said take it. Frustrated, he unloaded the Sheetrock, and stacked it all around the Pro entrance. 😅. He probably got fired, but we felt better!

Chris, I agree! The trucker offered to get the material as close as possible which is already above and beyond what the customer paid for. Good thing the trucker filmed this with his phone. Many times these customers will lie about the delivery person and say that they were insulting, threatening and/or used bad language. I have over 30 yrs of managment experience in delivery companies and I've seen this. However, there are folks out there who are friendly to drivers, offer them water and may even tip the driver.

20yrs big truck driver 8yrs flatbed. Retired and I don't miss it. Press on brother.
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.

Cool, I'll take it back and have a great day man, lol. If the customer still wanted the product it would be charged for re-delivery a second time with the same restriction after the office explained to the customer what their obligation was and what they were paying for. Its a waste of time to do the job twice but if the customer wants to pay for that then its their money.

Don't undo your loaded truck until and when you visually look at the gate and final placement of the product ( in the backyard ). After the inspection, inform the customer that you can't get through the gate ( if that is the case ) and call the store to tell the Manager on duty that the customer has refused this delivery and then go back to the store.

I always HATED those deliveries that the customer expected FAR more than what my job description was! Delivering corrugated cartons, I had one customer that expected me to put his items up on his shelves in his storeroom! Called the boss, he said just drop the pallet at the front door and leave. This customer tried with all the drivers to do the same thing. I was the first that stood up to them.
A buddy ran a delivery service for a few years. I would help him sometimes. One time he had this wooden box 5' X 5' X 10' on the back of a short flat bed truck. He had no fork lift to move it. We put our backs to the box and pushed with our legs against the back of the truck cab. It took about 6 cycles of pushing and rocking that big box before it toppled over, doing 270 degrees rotation flat on the curb behind the truck. The owner was ok with it.
This is one of those "meh, not my problem" moments. We don't get paid to stress out about stuff like this, dude refused delivery, call the boss and dump it in his lap and do whatever the boss says. Take it back, leave it in the ditch, light it on fire. 's all the same to me.

It was a mud construction sight.. with stacks of junk everywhere.. they wanted me to go off-roading way into the back corner of their mess.. turn around in the mud and back up right to the front of their mini 20 ft storage container to off load some of their order.. 🤣(probably never even seen a semi much less understand how it maneuvers or how much room it takes to turn one around).. then they had to wait for union laborer to gather together to think about how to hand off load what they wanted.. then after cigarette breaks and i guess wasting as much time as they legally could and certainly when they wanted to.. very rude, not courteous, offensive and ridiculously unnecessary.. they picked up one piece at a time walk it into their trailer move junk to place their piece.. then take another cigarette break.. we could of offloaded up front.. on parking lot.. they could of been paid for six months to carry it back to their foot locker/tackle box on their atv.. but the foreman called the company and said to their door meant that trailer since their was no door yet.. it was mean and stupid.. i was hoping the truck would get stuck and maybe the tow truck would get stuck too.. but eight hours later.. i got out. happy days educating Puyallup ahead I pray! yup customer’s spending state or county money are worse than anal procrastinators who have no room for the project of their dreams.. after they sobered up and realized they messed up while they were drunk 🥃.

The customer on this delivery expected way too much from this driver. He's an idiot.
I've had large things delivered to my house throughout the years. On the order form I signed each time, it specifically stated, in very bold letters, curbside delivery (Obviously for things not like appliances that normally would be delivered in house). Now, was anything I had delivered as cumbersome as this? No, but I have had very heave things delivered such as weight lifting equipment and all the times the driver was as cool and accommodating as he could be. I was fully aware it was a curbside delivery and was prepared to take it from the curb, but the drivers were always cool and backed it in as far as they could.

The driver is required to have a bill of lading in order to legally have temporary possession of the goods on board although it needn't be a detailed list of materials, only the weight. This the customer signs and both get a copy. The purpose of the B/L is to acknowledge receipt of a shipment. 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.

I used to do HVAC. Customers in rural areas during the winter when there was heavy snow were a trip. These folks usually had horrendously long driveways. Our dispatcher would ask the customer if their road and driveway were cleared. If they weren’t, we wouldn’t go there. We’d had too many instances of our trucks getting stuck. The customers would go ballistic. Farmers would say they’d meet us at the road with their tractor and ride us to the house. That’s not real feasible. We have tools to carry and have to get to the truck for parts after we diagnose the problem. Moreover, we couldn’t just leave our truck on a two lane country road. People need to realize that there is only so much service and delivery people can do to accommodate them.
I was once hired by a paper company to deliver a load of hard wood pulpwood from one of their staging yard to the paper mill. When I got to the mill the man at the scale house found 2 cypress logs on the bottom of the load and wanted me to pull them out of the load. I tried to explain to him that the wood belonged to the company and they loaded it from their staging yard. Long story short I took the load to a chip mill and sold it, and claimed it for payment for the freight.

Used to do construction and I feel your pain my friend. Know it all homeowners can be a pain!!!
He's the kind of ass that would have found ANYTHING he could to bitch about. I applaud you for keeping your cool. I deal with the public every day, and it's always a challenge dealing with "entitled" ones. The next delivery person might not have your demeanor. Karma is a bitch! God bless you for what you do!
I feel the pain of this. I used to work at a Lowe's and I would have to deal with customers like this all day. I really don't understand why so many people can't act like reasonable mature adults.

If you need the load placed somewhere specific, you better work that out ahead of time. ALWAYS assume that it's only getting dropped curbside and ask what you need to do to get it hauled to your backyard or wherever. What's wrong with people? After refusing delivery, this egghead was probably down at the store hollering at people. He seems like a guy that needs to be arrested and do a weekend in jail to get his head right.

It's like when you go to a stone and soil and have stuff delivered, they will always dump it in front or curbside
I did this job with cardinal delivery in a box truk for three years. I still have stress and anger issues . Worst job I ever had. Home depot lies, the customers lie. Same shit every day.I hope you were able to get out of there and find a better job.
“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.

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.

I’ve dealt with this a few times. It’s very aggravating.
Usually these issues are caused by salesmen and dispatchers, and that is where 3/4 of lies and misinformation are started, the other is customer and or delivery problems.
Respectfully we don't know who is in the right if customer pays to have full delivery insulate propert or curbside. In the end if customer doesn't get what he was expecting he can refuse delivery.

At the very least, it isn't smart to air your dirty laundry online for your potential customers to see. This basically says that if we deliver to you and there is any problem whatsoever, you better be nice to us or we will put you online for the world to see without any context in your defense.
I love the way u dealt with this clown mate. Keep up the good work.
Before you even arrived with the load, it was obvious that this guy had already decided he didn't want to buy the lumber. From there it was just him coming up with excuses to refuse, like "if you can't get it into the backyard I refuse the shipment," to "it's the wrong size lumber, take it back."
all my deliveries The drivers were very accommodating 😊Kindness and respect really works 😮 At 61 I try not to let my bad days become somebody else's bad days🎉
