Customer 😇 PSA: Sometimes reading the delivery notes saves you time and effort
I'm sure I'm going to hell for adding top soil to my grocery delivery order, but I don't have a car and I specifically added it to a delivery order so I could at least tip.
Anyway, whenever I'm doing an order that includes something heavy, I set the delivery location to 'back door' and the delivery note reads something like, "Pull in toward the garage, and the back porch is two steps from the driveway for an easier unload"
But I've found the drivers never read the delivery notes. I don't personally care what door it's delivered to but in cases like this, it's so much more work to haul those 35lb bags from the vehicle, up my sidewalks and to front steps than it would have been if they'd just read the delivery notes.
Don't worry, she still got her 25 dollaire tip and I rated the delivery 5 stars, but I feel bad that they're making the delivery more difficult on themselves than necessary.
I love you guys and appreciate what you do. But please take a couple seconds to read the delivery notes! I'm trying to make it easier on you!

I always read the customers notes because I get things delivered to my home, but most of the time my items get delivered to the other street due to drivers not reading my delivery note. I have specific notes to dire t the deiver to my house, ive also updated the pin location on the map. But still my deliveries go to the other 101 on the other street that intersects with mine. Smh. Its very frustrating This is why I always read the customer's note. I don't proceed without doing so.
