Helper said we're not supposed to deliver to houses for sale per orientation training

[JL 0513]

I never heard of this, is it true? Helper said that in orientation it was one of the most stressed items they talked about. I've never seen any trading on this for drivers.

DR front door, onto the next stop.

 

[By The Book]

Your the driver, if you know the consignee lives there and will get the packages your good.

 

[Wally]

Runner-Gunners never worry about things like that.

Had a delivery today for a house that was for sale and had an open house showing. Left it on the back porch and left. Guy comes out grabs the parcel and says thanks. Don't know if he was the realtor or not. Don't care since it was a shipper release barcode.

 

[By The Book]

Good ol shipper release, kind of like a get out of jail free card.

 

[JL 0513]

I've really never even thought about it before. I figured if a pkg was ordered and shipped to an address, someone likely still lives there. I suppose if a house is clearly vacated, I'd say sheeting it "moved" would be the right way to do it.

I'd just like to know why the helpers were told never, ever deliver to any house for sale. He said something about it being scammer related.

Back when I was a helper, HR told me that UPS delivers to addresses, not people.

In any case, you're the driver. If they didn't tell you, that's on them.

 

[JL 0513]

So no one else has ever heard this?

 

[jaker]

I

So no one else has ever heard this?

I remember it back when the market took a dive , but nothing since then

 

[Brownslave688]

So no one else has ever heard this?

No and until there's some official diad training I wouldn't worry about it.


Not that I'll know then either. Never read those things. Lol

 

[babboo25]

You're.



And you're again

Great job Brownslave! Can you post a link to of all your grammar corrections? So cool!


You're welcome

I'd like to know why they stress this sort of thing at helper orientation but don't teach helpers how to be helpers.

You really are naive.

Teaching helpers their job is your job. Every single helper, every single year.

Along with the rest of your responsibilities.

 

[ArcherUTR]

It's common sense and the way that many of us were trained.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

I think the point is for the helper to verify with the driver that it is okay to release, not that a helper should never leave a pkg there.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

It's common sense and the way that many of us were trained.

I would think their focus would be on homes that are in foreclosure.

The helper is right. The methods (2011 version ) actually say that.
