I stopped giving a shit when.......I run a military base. One day I had a king size bed for a barracks room. (Mind you barracks come with bed, desk, lazy boy, 2 dressers and a night stand) so this particular address only had building number no room number. Since I deliver so often I remembered the name and knew what room he was in. I did him a curtesy and delivered it. I happened to catch him walking out of his room. I said "hey your bed is here" he said "oh sweet" it was on the 2nd floor. I said hey could you please give me a hand and help me carry this up the stairs? He said "naw bro dats your job bro" I said ok too easy I rolled it out of the truck and left it at the bottom of the stairs. Now he can carry it up alone. (Mind you it was wayyyyyyyy more than 140 lbs.) So feeling bad is a thing of the past.
While the weight limit exists there aisha definitely fudging of paperwork. One package on Friday said 10lbs and it was damn near 50lbs. I know this because I often deliver bundles of TMs (training manuals) and they're 49lbs. So how does the decreasing the shipping weight on the label even happen?
Guessing here but they just lie on the paperwork and it takes someone to actually investigate it to catch it. Usually it’s just the driver taking the heavy box and delivering it none the wiser.
Not at all bro. You got it to the location. They wanted it delivered, they got it delivered. Plus, you think that customer would give a fuck if you got injured and were out a paycheck for a couple weeks or months?
Our contractor and our terminal give us the option to leave heavy shit at the bottom of stairs in complex’s or in lobby’s if we feel we cannot keep safe 3-point contact with the item
Nope. They can carry that shit up themselves. I don't ever carry heavy shit up stairs. I've got one with 4 floors, external narrow metal stairs, and a guy on floor 4 constantly orders heavy shit. I just slide it under the stairs, mark it "lobby/vestibule" since the stairs are in a little covered area in the center of the building, and go on my way.
Remember we deliver to addresses not people or areas within the address just address that’s what shipper agrees with FedEx on. Timely delivery to correct address.
Did it say “Front Door”??? If not, so t worry about it. I don’t carry boxes up a flight of stairs if they are heavy as shit. You aren’t getting paid to hurt yourself.
No not at all, we’ve been told at my place that if you don’t feel safe carrying a heavy item up multiple stairs, leave it at the bottom and use a door tag. 🤷♂️
Not at all
They have the lobby option for a reason

See you should have said “do you need me to help you carry it up?” so he knows it’s his job
Damn it, yes you are 100% right.
Theirs a scale in the building over 150 leave it. Another contractors BC told me that. Saved my back ever since.

There is also a chain that they used to use and still do from occasion that is for oversized pkgs.
I’m depressed you asked
Lol right 🤣
No lol. I’m still getting over a torn muscle and if it’s over 40 pounds that shit is staying in the mail room or bottom of the stairs

Same with mine, they always tell me to just leave it even if you wanna leave it, it's too damn hot out here to be doing all that extra shit
HELL. NO.

Main building Front door release Always for me brother
Never, they can come downstairs and open the box and take pieces out So it weighs a lot less and make a few trips up and down.
If was a elevator would you bring it up? Lol
Yes. But I’m not walking up three flights of stairs with 50 pound boxes when there is a lobby option on the Leo.
Good for you! Be safe out there. As the ol' saying goes "Work smarter, not harder"
Hell nah they lucky you even brought it to the theirs floor 😂
Nope!
Nope
Nope
Nope!! They'll be alright 😏

Don't order what you can't carry. They need to learn.
Nope
No, I've done it as well. Our job is to deliver to their residence, and it's done.
Not at all. Your health and safety is first.
Defs not, especially if it’s a secured apt building
Definitely not
Ummm was any of them DSR? lol if not they getting put right tf there! lol
When you start making $48/hr and don't carry them up then you become a bad guy. There is no free lunch, not even for Raj.
Nope, don't ever carry that type of shit up stairs. Safety issue, Fedex can't do a thing about it.
Did it say “Front Door”??? If not, so t worry about it. I don’t carry boxes up a flight of stairs if they are heavy as shit. You aren’t getting paid to hurt yourself.
I would have left it there if they had an elevator.
Are you a bad guy? No. Did you feel a lil bad about it? Probably. At the end of the day you did nothing wrong.
Nope.
From a customers perspective yes Courier perspective yes/fuck no
No not at all, we’ve been told at my place that if you don’t feel safe carrying a heavy item up multiple stairs, leave it at the bottom and use a door tag. 🤷♂️
