They were "15" pounds two weeks ago. Yesterday they were all labeled as "12" pounds

I just hope they don't get all loaded in one car. I remember the last near-disaster when one was brickloaded with paper.

so they had me unload a few pallets of these yesterday, all i can say its a back breaker. i feel sorry for the guy
that does these everyday. all the pallets are shrink wrapped and no more than 3 feet tall so most of the time you
are crouching down, i believe they went through 4 unloaders before they found someone that didnt complain about
his back hurting after 5 minutes. the worst part is they make the unloader look at the zipcode on every single one to
check if it can be unloaded that day or not. 1 trailer can have around 4500 of these.

They're plastic wrapped....which makes them slide...you can't or should brick them on the shelves...especially not the top shelves. A smart driver I know told me to just throw them in a tote...good idea

Shipper release. Stop, drop and roll.

I had 30-40 of them yesterday and I counted 47 today. When I tell my customers what they are, a large # of them carry them directly to the recycle bin.

Pull up and chuck them out at the bottom of the driveway like the phone book.

Given they are allegedly 12 pounds each, I hope all that was evenly distributed in the PC.

Yes, put 6 dehumidifiers on the other side of the truck.

I've gotten to the point with them that if the person is there I tell them restoration hardware sent you a catalog, do you want it? They all say no. REFUSED, DIDN'T WANT. I had one addressed to a boarded up house today. I tossed it onto the porch and the hoodrats sitting on the next porch down said "***** didn't even ring the ***** bell. I'm pretty sure if the doors and windows are boarded up the doorbell probably isn't going to be terribly helpful.

Here in the Last Frontier only saw one wave of these catalogs so far. As fate would have it I covered a resi route on the Southside (aka Moneyside) of town and had like 40 of these out of 180 stops.

Wasn't all that bad. Extra hour or so of OT. Company made money and I made money.

volume has been sky high in my center the past two weeks due to these

Too much work is better than not enough. Admittedly too little work is not usually the problem around here.

Sounds like the runner gunners at my center. This is there typical style delivery.

Looks like the folks from The New Yorker have been following these threads...

"The first stirrings of dissent came from the UPS drivers. In May, they began posting on Brown Café, an anonymous message board, about the thirty-three-hundred-page catalogue bundles sent out by the furniture company Restoration Hardware."

I was averaging 3O a day there for a while... "peak" day was 52 counted in EDD.

I'm actually surprised I haven't seen an uptick in their huge boxes.

The un-charming uppity suburban routes get nailed with these. I don't like them personally because the people with the imprint scanners always smudge the PAL labels and I'm D-CAPing them all morning.
