    If it was me...

    “Ok, you’ll find it over in the corner when you get home. Have a good day”.

    To self....

    “Yeah yeah yeah... You’re an idiot and I don’t have time for idiots”.

    Unload that junk and scribble the idiot’s name on the paper.

    No, because he would have gotten his freight and wouldn't have learned anything. It's one 75# box, I can work around it, let him wait to get his shipment until he learns to follow directions.

    Do you know what your customer service reps actually said to the guy? In my experience cs reps tend to beat around the bush with what they mean, and may have simply told the guy that you would be there at such and such a time. I don't have to be there for the mail, for ups, for fedex, I'm not going to assume I need to be there other deliveries that can be left on the porch unless it's specifically stated as such.

    Sure, until you’re 40 miles away headed back to the barn and you get a phone call from somebody saying “he’s home now and he has to have it”. :rolleyes:

    Yes I do, because our on site supervisor was the one that called. Small yards like ours don't go through huge call centers.

    Are there any customers of ours aside from key accounts that don't deal with the local center performing the delivery?
