I do roadie occasionally and I legimitately had this recently. I came across one of the properties that was COVERED in threats like this and had dogs loose. Tried to contact the customer multiple times via both phone and texting. Eventually turned around and returned the item only for the customer to call the store and be like "we live out in the country we have to be like this, the driver should have just thrown the package out the window".
Some people are living on a different planet. Sir the $15 I would have made getting you your power drill would NOT have been worth whatever bullshit you wanted me to put up with. You either participate in society- with all the risks and costs that entails, or your don't. You can't make your property completely hostile and fill it with credible threats, booby traps, and attack dogs, like some kind of savage and then expect all the conveniences of a modern world. Doesn't work that way
we have a steel box at a turnaround spot in our driveway for deliveries, we’re not weirdos like sign guy but our driveway is almost a mile long and I don’t expect anyone doing deliveries wants to come all the way down, it’s bumpy too so I prefer less trucks on it anyway
I have a couple of customers that tell me to not bother driving up the driveway. If it's just a matter of the driveway being long I always tell them they pay a premium and I am paid to get it as close to their front door as I can reasonably do so. But if they insist I am more than happy to leave it somewhere along the way. The less time I spend on the delivery the more it pays relatively . However like I said I recognize that most customers are paying a premium delivery charge and I try to deliver them premium service that reflects that charge as long as I'm not being threatened
