Seems silly they offer a product they can't deliver. No way of getting it on a tail lift? But Kerbside is one rule that most delivery couriers have to abide by. The insurance companies will not insure them to enter a customers property without them paying a rather extortionate premium. That's not to say you won't get the occasional sympathetic driver that will do anything for a bacon butty or a couple of pints worth of tip :)


Oh, and Morning by the way.

Cheers Lee, they’ve agreed to deliver on the sat morning around 9. :D
We’ve informed client that if they’re not offloaded by 10, they’ll receive an invoice and no fitters.
They’re happy with that, and I’m praying ...........


They’re late! :p

Think it’s more about a new product to them and nervous drivers.
The warehouse is less than 2 miles away from the job, they could easily take someone with them to deliver.

Time's Ran Out

Good afternoon !
Picked up materials for job and arrived at 9.00 to find 2 bathroom windows in the process of being removed. So 2 hours I had for breakfast and now they’ve put scaffolding on the staircase and I’am meant to be up and down cutting travertine. One of those jobs that stop you from smiling!

Is it not one of those jobs that can be held off until the customer sorts their life out? Could have had a day off and gone on a sweet mince pie tour around town :)
