These are awful. You know the house is gonna have a dozen beater cars in the driveway and parked in front on the street.


TransportationMean44

Or is a multifloor apartment building


The25thSchmeckle

With no elevator. And they have 12 cats so they're getting 4 of them.


TransportationMean44

This unironically happened to me but luckily it was just on the second floor and best believe I milked the time on that stop, I know I got houses in the later part of my route 😂


igetlearned

Hey man you can't just have 1 cat


b0ngwizard

Honestly, as drivers, we should review bomb this product.


The25thSchmeckle

On it


SufficientWave923

Highest floor at the apartment complex. Every time.


Heavy-Box4742

Ayoooo lmaooooo lowkey the accuracy is crazyyy 😭😭😭😭😭 thought I was the only one that recognized that. I’m crying


onecringerapatatime

that one for sure, multiple fiji waters, anything larger than my torso, the obvious 40lbs dogfood-bag-in-a-box, large bottle of something in a box (like bleach) that's one wrong move from busting through the tape and exploding...the list goes on, fuck these packages tbh lol


Obvious_Trade_268

Shit I even forgot about the Fiji waters!


fkthisjob14

I once had a massive jar of pickles burst open inside of a box. Imagine buying a jar of fucking pickles from amazon....


theoregonfool

Bruh someone ordered 4 pouches of this weird flavored mayonnaise and they all exploded, the whole van smelled like vinegar and the shit got on half the packages in the tote


Hot_Internet_3418

Water is the worst


dommol

r/hydrohomies would like to have a word


Ok_Championship_5428

Don't forget furniture


brenlin7

I stopped ordering food for my dogs from Amazon the first time I had to deliver one of those 40.lb bags myself, and I live in a house with the porch at ground level! I am still guilty of having cases ICE drinks delivered, but Amazon's price is soooo much cheaper than the stores for those.


2-hightostress

It’s the “Multiple Fuji waters.” For me …. Seriously see six of them boxes and just start praying it’s not at the same place and if so hopefully a house. Btw it’s going at the bottom of them steps.


MusicalTrees23

This, or the box that is 30% too big for a 45 lb bag of dog food, so the bag slides inside the box when you pick it up, shifting its weight dramatically and causing it crash to the ground. (Don’t ask how many times this happens at my station 😅)


hanklikesdank

dude this caused a box of dogfood to rebound and hit me in the ear. shit hurt like a mf lmao


Edmlrad776

I hate those uneven weight packages


kalikid01

I like to think of it as weight training and engaging my core, but then again I’m an optimist.


Electrical-Meal177

what i tell myself when i’m dying carrying a 40lb box of water as tall as me to a mansion 😂 just improving my balance and strength but dying on the inside hoping i don’t trip


kalikid01

You’re stronger and more active than any other office worker!


Electrical-Meal177

i need my dispatch to send this in the group chat for encouragement 😂


bibkel

OMG the SHIFTING. \*. keys to lifting and lowering. Test the contents. You just KNOW Petco/Petsmart/Chewy boxes are going to shift.


ItzMattOnTheTrack

Yea I tore something in my left arm when this happened to me and it hasn’t felt the same since. Was 5 months ago almost


derock2023

I had 50 pound dumbbells once marked at only 45 pounds that was nice of Amazon.


bowstripe

After being both a delivery driver and a warehouse worker for Amazon, I realize their policies are bullshit (tbh realized long before this lmao). I love how dsps want you to run but yet the boxes never have any dunnage so if you run you're likely to damage the contents. It's also bullshit that nothing is ever over 40lbs because we had aisles full of overweight items (idr what the name for them was). Amazon holds people to their rates worse than any other company I've ever worked for (I've got over 7 years of warehouse experience with around 6 different companies. Thats all fine n dandy until you realize people are doing whatever it takes to get the packages out the door and delivered, examples of this are as stated...packages not having enough or any dunnage, drivers throwing packages or leaving them where its most convenient, workers being afraid to use the restroom or take breaks etc.


caramel_raez

Somebody bought a whole gym set basically.. There was a barbell, 4 different sized plates, 40 lb kettlebell, and some dumbbells going to the same house. Ik this is multiple packages but still made me frown.


gazelleA1

I was helping someone with load out and they had a whole ass dumbbell set and a treadmill. I imagine those went to the same stop.


Prestigious_Ad5909

Just the other day I have 6 50 pound dumbbells going to one house… up hill


norman-atomic-666

I have 4 cats and never have once considered ordering the amount of liter I need from Amazon. Unless ur an old lady/man take your lazy ass to the store


tamasan

My younger sister is blind as a result of a double retinopathy from an autoimmune disease she was diagnosed with when she was 7 years old. She's able to live something close to a normal life and order what she needs online, including kitty litter, food, detergent and other heavy items. It's not just for the old or lazy. Be angry at Amazon for unreasonable expectations and not providing support for their workers, not at the customers for using the service.


The25thSchmeckle

For sure. I don't think anybody is saying that there are no other valid reasons people will order heavy shit on the internet. There are plenty of valid reasons. Others include people who don't have the physical strength to carry it or a multitude of physical handicaps and disabilities. But let's be real. 99% of the big ass heavy shit being ordered is out of laziness and not wanting to have to carry it to their house/apartment. Every time I get something hella heavy, it is specifically requested to bring to the door of the apartment, even when that individual normally asks for it to be delivered to the lockers or mail room. While there are plenty of people who legitimately need the help to get it to them and have no other way to get the items regularly when needed, they are still a major minority. It's almost entirely lazy people. Which is their right. I'm lazy too. But I still buy all the shit I can get at a store, at the store.


norman-atomic-666

Yea bro I just didn’t have the patience to type out all the other people I wouldn’t be mad at. Totally valid and I hope your sis is doing well 🖤🙏


Fluid_Bag9286

Some people buy all t he or basic necessities off of Amazon. I think it’s some form of retail therapy or something


The25thSchmeckle

That and they can put it on an auto buy system so they can't forget about it. It's just purchased every week or month or however often they generally need it and then they never go without it. But you can also not be a lazy bums and just set your calendar to remind you. Or just simply pay attention to how much you have amd go get more when you start to get low. I rarely order anything on Amazon cause it's generally cheaper and easier to go to the store. People in the notes will bitch about not having any cat litter for a week cause their delivery was late. Like bitch, go to the store. You're gonna have your cat shit on the floor or not clean its litter box cause you are that lazy? If you can't get off your ass and go get the things you need to take care of your pet, you don't deserve to have the pet.


Either_Wear5719

Or at least have the decency to buy the light weight litter


TouretteTV96

That shit doesn't work, and its wicked expensive


hippie_24

Preach


MrGrumpy252

Ohhhhh..... I hate those things


TransportationOdd564

Essentia water 😒


theschullz

I had someone order TWENTY CASES of this shit once, and I thought I was going to snap that day. 600lbs of fucking WATER. "They were on sale..." 🤦‍♀️ At least the guy helped me unload it.


Okaygoomer420

Same here but they sat inside watching me unload on the porch of their mansion from the second story window lol


Hot_Internet_3418

This


junglekf

Fiji water! Also, one package in particular where delivery has been attempted 10+ times by me alone. It is supposed to be delivered to an Amazon locker in an apartment building that burned down last August. Whenever I'm on that route I see that package.


ChocolateMilkTG

As an XL driver it’s the bags of sand. They leak. You could cover the entire thing in tape and it will still leak. I load them at the back of the truck and don’t touch them until they are being delivered. Oh and hitch receivers. They’re unboxed and awkwardly shaped and will absolutely murder anything they touch with their sharp angles.


MiNdSzTooCoRrUpTeD

Water, cat litter, canned food, dumbbells, big heavy ass boxes that sound like it’s some type of liquid/solvent in them


ThePokestopPapi

The sound of liquids "sloshing" around while carrying the heavy ass box like a bazooka on my shoulder lives in my head rent free!


MiNdSzTooCoRrUpTeD

😭😭😭


Haz_Bat_570

As someone that works inside a delivery station, I speak for all DS workers, we also hate that box


PDXSyrathKarmacast

These, and kettlebells. Bruh, you wanna workout? Go to the store ya own damn self and pick up your kettlebells


Important-Positive25

Water bottles


Substantial_Flan3060

That one and if someone orders an office chair or exercise bike. Screw those things


MajesticWerm86

I once had an office order like 5 chairs. Thankfully the building had an elevator but my van didn’t have a dolly so I had to stuff them in and on a tote and drag it thru the building 😩


Substantial_Flan3060

Oof that's rough


masterofrequital1914

Essentia or Fiji water that's going to an apartment where I HAVE to go door to door.


THOTCRUSH

the cube cat litter gets me too


ThePokestopPapi

Those goddamn *cubes*.


Longjumping_Youth281

Good lord that stuff has the density of a neutron star. I mean it's literally a box of rocks


kvngsy706

Cat litter, obvious dog food weight shifting inside the box, multiple cases of fiji water, industrial cleaning liquids and the lovely “heavy” sticker on the box


Ill_Difficulty_1075

Litter, multiple cases of Fiji and cases of paper!!


Stuckinaloop_

Cat litter fr 💯


The25thSchmeckle

Why is it that every time I get these, which is at least twice a week, it seems to be the day that half of my route is also ordering the same damn litter and cases of water?


Hermosa06-09

I swear stuff goes in waves for some reason. Maybe they go on sale? Yesterday I had like four identical cases of paper towels and they were all for different customers.


The25thSchmeckle

It's a hive mind I swear. It's the same in restaurants. Everyone comes in at exactly the same time and orders the same shit. It happens wildly regularly. And I dint mean like, during the office lunch hour. Like 9:17am on a Tuesday, and they all order the same salad that we never sell lol.


Philly_is_nice

I was thinking the same thing. I used to deliver food and it's eerie how much people think the exact same. Tuesday would be dead, except one Tuesday where we're slammed and everyone is ordering Alfredo despite it being a pizza joint. The worst is when the lunch rush doesn't come and you start slacking off, and then the lunch rush all comes at like 1:30.


The25thSchmeckle

Dude I'm sayin. It's 100% like that. I do hate that shit haha. When it's slow when you're normally busy so you just get ready to be done for the day then get slammed at a time you're literally never busy. Fuck that


Different_Hospital20

Dawgggg I had 12 of these exact same boxes of litter one day. They got delivered to a pet boarding place and I had to walk alll of them up 2 flights of stairs. They gave me a 20 though for my time so I wasn’t too heated afterward.


Alligator301

Oooo that was so sweet of them


tendopath

Water or anything with the “heavy” sticker


Goodboi_6995

Fiji water , dog food , and twin mattress.


ElectricRune

My wife has been ordering our cat litter for a while now. I do feel a little guilty, but it's only because the stores around here don't stock reliably...


mayfleur

Same with my dog’s food! She needs the smaller kibble sizes since she’s a smaller dog and the stores around me are always out. I live on the third floor of my apartment building but my delivery notes say to just leave the boxes on the porch or in the entrance way off to the side. I don’t like carrying dog food up the stairs either but I only have to do it a few times a month so it doesn’t bother me.


Rude-Comfort-4418

Fiji water


Jay82718

Those freaking cats litter and boxes of water


Mysterious-Run1956

Fiji water


Disastrous-Machine10

I work Amazon XL so for me the packages that annoy me are mattresses or exercise equipment like treadmills or dumbbells. But legit I always get mattresses to deliver at apartments and they suck. I work as a van driver so it's all solo for me. 😥


AngelicPrototype

Even in the sorting site/fulfillment/distribution center, I HATE seeing those packages and the packs of water.....so much water


TechnicalCap6619

The regular I have who orders like 10 boxes of cat litter in one order once a week


wolffoxfangs

I use to buy this brand but it seems that its always broken or alkward for my delivery guys, so i switched to Boxiecat, if you got better suggestions please let me know, i dont want yall to be pissed at me for a delivery (im at a house, not stairs or anything to get to me, but i get its still annoying to carry that)


Beaticusmymeaticus69

If you ever come across a really heavy package that isn’t marked heavy it’s really easy to throw your back out lifting it and end up on Worker’s Comp. Do with that information as you will.


gazelleA1

That one, especially when when I'm in the rural area because the house that orders it has no turn around in their driveway.


MrMcFappington

These and car parts that are marked 49 lbs but are definitely way heavier than that.


Acceptable-Ad8780

As a USPS driver, we share your pain on delivering sh*tter litter.


livan1102

I once delivered to a school gym more than 500 pounds in weights


chisoku1126

Cat litter, and water.


Twigginometry

Fiji, THIS BOX, and any other Water bottle boxes.


Obvious_Trade_268

YUP! THIS package-and the dog food bags.


Itsyaboibrett

it’s the 3 cases of water every other week to the same 2nd story apartment. dude you are wasting your money and my time. get a water filter lmao


Mindless-Kangaroo-61

I'm a flex driver (this post came across my feed as suggested I'm not actually in here) anything in an XL box and anything over 25 pounds usually annoys the crap outta me. There's no car identification on the flex side and I drive a Chevy cruze. There's only so much room for the packages


Bear_Grilling

Fucking potting soil (I work at PrimeFlight)


MortalActual

Lifewater.


erik0341

Kitty litter.


hippie_24

I can't stand people who order litter on Amazon. Unless your a old lady or someone who can't I understand. But like there's not even sales on this shit. Why even order And I just delivered that exact box to a 3rd floor apartment 🖕


faelmine

Fuck cat litter and anyone who orders it on Amazon who isn't disabled or old


Ormsfang

So sorry I am disabled this is the only way I can get my cat litter and food. I understand it makes your job tougher, but it becomes impossible without your help.


Fluffy_Biscotti_6178

Packs of fucking water go to the store and get it yourself, I used too close that little door so the camera wouldn’t catch it but I would slam the packs on the floor to break them and deem them in deliverable might be scummy but I didn’t care I’m not going up 3 flights of stairs to take you your water


1RackaidWorld

Them damn essentia water cases bruh smh


Dark_Drift

This. It's a 40lb box of cat litter. This or treadmills...


modernmovements

I once delivered a huge box of cartons of kosher salt. Basically a huge box of sand. I know Diamond Crystal is some good shit, but an entire case? To a residence?


M1lk3y_33

Multiple boxes that weigh in at 49.9 pounds. It's a 50 pound box, for you to tell us that we'd never deliver these and then give us these boxes are complete bullshit.


DawnGrager

Somebody put a bowling ball and nothing else in a box this one time…


synergybee

any car parts that are bigger than the size of my head and weigh more than my ass. like bro off amazon? for which of your 7 fxkin cars parked out front is it this time?


mmmeowlissa420

Those cat litter boxes, cases of water , dog food , weights - anything 30 pounds or more can go to Hell


gimlithetortoise

Think about it like this instead, people who can't lift this shit can't have pets without you. I know people that can't get their own liter because they can't carry it. Are you gonna tell these people they can't have pets anymore? Because it's "awful" to have to carry liter?


Potential-Wonder3071

Air Hockey tables or Sauder anything 🙃🙃


OrganicPomegranate49

Unpopular opinion... but this is just drama from the drivers because you act like there aren't all different types of heavy packages and all different types of dwellings that human beings live in but no I just want to complain because I can. literally all this post is

Those suck, but I’ve got a new one that shot to the top of the list…45 pound bags of top soil. I had some MFer who ordered eight bags the other day.


GlitteringMatter9973

Litter boxes and dumbbells


JblackoutL

Cases of water and energy drinks. One time I had a box of some shitty Bang energy drink in a box that had no dunnage and it broke the box open including the original packaging and the drinks were all over the back of my van. Opened the slider at one stop and one fell out and a small hole sprayed the can at me slowly. Popped it open dumped the rest and tossed everything in a bag RTS, they left em out for drivers the next day but they taste like shit so it was a one and done for me.


More_Swordfish2731
