Believe me I know. I just got rid of my 30 year old sub zero because it broke again. Those s**ts are heavy. It doesn't help that i had stairs and tight hallways to deal with. More of a general question.

...Especially if it's something not only heavy but also architecturally and/or aesthetically specific such as a crate of tile.
It would be a mess to do this only to have them say "that's the wrong color. Take it back".

Accommodating the consignee's wants and wishes, is fine as long as it doesn't involve 1) violating company policy, 2) increasing the possibility of getting hurt doing it, 3) increase the possibility of freight damage. Remember, the consignee is not really our customer. They are our customer's customer. And quite often, they will make all kinds of pie in the sky promises that we have no way, nor any intention of, trying to fulfill. THAT is between the consignee and the shipper.
OTOH, If she's a really fine chick.......un never mind. I'm both old and married.
This is, of course assuming you even have a lift gate. I've had to manhandle a few good size pieces of freight out of the trailer, onto the consignee's property. It is absolutely imperative that you get that paperwork signed, BEFORE unloading, as trying to load it back into your truck is going to be "interesting," to say the least.
I never ran into that one. We used to haul these mega heavy cases of decorative stone to landscape outfits. But never had to try to deliver one to a place that didn't have a dock.Mike2633 Thanks this. -
