Delivery woes

[ChrisN]

Hi,
Today was the day my grill was to be delivered. i told SEFL to give a 1 hour call ahead. My Wife stayed home so she could ask the driver to put it in the garage.
Instead, she never heard from them and happened to see this when she walked outside.
She's 5' tall and I'm out of town.
Grrr...

Tell me where it's at and I'll go get it

Sorry to hear, that's no fun.

Freight companies can be sooo bad at residential deliveries.

I suppose covering it with a tarp or some such will keep crooks from stealing it till she can get some help.

On the optimistic side, the box is in surprisingly good condition, at least compared to when I got mine.

They left mine in the middle of the driveway. No surprise here.

Tell her to get the neighbors involved in moving it to a safe place, and promise to have them over for a BBQ.

My neighbors would take the damn thing, never to be seen again.

Same here. Mine looked like the forklift had missed its target a few times.

My neighbor helped her get it into the extra garage. They were rewarded with ribs yesterday.

Good to have nice neighbors. My neighbor helped me get my grill from the garage to the back patio then came back when I was ready to stand it up. He got ribs as well. He told me he’d come help with anything anytime.
