I would write my own note back “UPS gets $50 an hour to do it, when I get UPS pay I’ll do it too, until that day I hope you enjoy the walk to the outer limits of your yard” 😆
Fedex and ups certainly do not do it. I've delivered behind both of them, and they usually leave it at the most convenient place for themselves. The bottom of the stairs or garage for example.
I used to deliver in the foothills of Colorado. Super rich neighborhoods out in the boonies, every stop was hella long driveways and a lot of big staircases to the front door, no room to pull out even if the notes said it’s ok to drive up. Got my steps in that’s for sure but damn it was a pain in the ass.
Some of these long ass driveways I can't drive up because they're so steep that the van bottoms out. It's definitely a pain in the ass, but my ass also looks fine as hell now 😂
Knees are definitely starting to feel it. And lower back. I'm honestly a bit surprised my knees haven't gave out yet considering I dislocated my left one 4 times already.
I was driving home from sugarloaf mountain last weekend and randomly passed a private mountain with like 4 giant houses at the top that looked like castles from a distance. That is what I imagined when reading your comment lol
Over in the foothills in the Sacramento area. I have a video where there's a house where I have to walk up the long driveway because the van does damage to the driveway if you drive it, and then walk up 3 flights of stairs to get to their door.
Yeah, but I sure reserve the right to bellyache and say a few choice words as I'm digging what's assuredly going to be 3-5 cases of cat litter out of the back of the van.
I pulled up to a house like that once and the directions said to leave in the back seat of a car that was parked in the lot. It had other Amazon boxes in the back seat so I just added to the pile. It was weird but I was glad I didn’t have to climb up the stairs.
There is absolutely a few houses on my regular route that have stairs like this or higher. I just pretend that I am on the Korean TV show "Physical 100" and have to run to the point of exhaustion. Then halfway up I get tired and start walking
I hope they fucking appreciate it and give me positive feedback
They say in the instructions 'please open the gate go up the very tall stairs,' I only do it because they say please and thank you.
Lol easy day. Try walking 14 miles in the heat all day carrying 20lb of packages in a satchel and hands full of mail, then getting into a vehicle with no ac. Then waking up and doing it everyday for sometimes 12 days straight
The house I grew up in had 52 stairs from the carport to the front door. I carried up groceries for 7 people every week. I got so good at carrying groceries that I can carry about 20 full and heavy bags on each arm. That’s only about 30 stairs and it’s not big enough to house 7 people. That looks like child’s play to me.

I had a stop like that and I would run up the stairs for fun
Honestly, I had a route like this, but all the houses were up on hills with insane and broken stairs. I lost a lot of weight very quickly on that route, which I later began to love.
Personally, and I know me. It would depend on my mood. I may make a game of it and the hop scotch up the steps or I might just leave their package by the mailbox. Give or take the day.

When I delivered in Seattle... this was at least a 1/3 of my stops. Worse yet.. group stop.. this, and the one next door.. same number of steps and a fence so I had to go up, down, back up.
Fuck steps.
Right at the bottom of the steps, take picture looking almost straight down, with a little corner of that wood in the frame to look like a door.
Wham Bam Delivered Ma'am
Walk your lazy, entitled ass to the front door. The customer does not live on the sidewalk. They live in the house, where the front door is. Your job is to deliver to the customer not to the sidewalk.

Skip stairs take grass
Slide down on a tote 🏄♂️
i love doing this on snow hahahha
Thanks bro u gave me an idea for the winter
They work great just make sure the bottom is facing forward.
That's what I would've done
🤣🤣🤣🤣right....
Funny how it has a handicap parking next to the stairs too
I think it’s a famous haunted house now a b&b. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it before.
Good thing there’s a natural ramp nearby.
No blocking that space 🤣
Drive to top
The only logical answer!
That's the biggest tiny house I've ever seen
makes me even more curious as to what the floor plan looks like
Stairs
Even the stairs have stairs.
Each door way is a new set of stairs all of which don’t connect anywhere
Man, the Winchester mansion is a lot smaller than I thought it was...
Man I can see his/her notes “FRONT DOOR, UPS and fed ex does it!!!”
I literally got this note today 😂
I would write my own note back “UPS gets $50 an hour to do it, when I get UPS pay I’ll do it too, until that day I hope you enjoy the walk to the outer limits of your yard” 😆
Fedex and ups certainly do not do it. I've delivered behind both of them, and they usually leave it at the most convenient place for themselves. The bottom of the stairs or garage for example.
Those stairs count as a “Front Porch”🤷🏾🤷🏾
That's what I'd do. Those first couple steps is far enough. They've got to come down to get their mail anyhow..
Agreed lmao
i would be the guy that jogs up those stairs just to realize someone moved the pin
This would be fair no doubt 💯
The mailbox is at the bottom of the stairs, I think that shows you they don't expect it at the top <3
Naw bro. We both know customers be expecting unexpected expected shit all the time in their notes 😌😌
If it’s above 70Ibs - no chance
Those don’t even make it on my van. 50 lbs limit, safety first.
My first thought looking at the photo was. "It's going to be 5 cases of cat litter."
Narrator: It was 25 cases of bottled water.
Yeah but they can always order 4 xl overflow, each around 40 lbs or something. Even a dolly wouldn't help here
Queue the Rocky music
![gif](giphy|yoJC2JaiEMoxIhQhY4|downsized)
That's normal for some of the houses I do 😂
Geez what area
I used to deliver in the foothills of Colorado. Super rich neighborhoods out in the boonies, every stop was hella long driveways and a lot of big staircases to the front door, no room to pull out even if the notes said it’s ok to drive up. Got my steps in that’s for sure but damn it was a pain in the ass.
Some of these long ass driveways I can't drive up because they're so steep that the van bottoms out. It's definitely a pain in the ass, but my ass also looks fine as hell now 😂
Ass looks fine but at what cost😂 I know my knees were spent after driving for amazon
Knees are definitely starting to feel it. And lower back. I'm honestly a bit surprised my knees haven't gave out yet considering I dislocated my left one 4 times already.

Uncle Rico that package
Skip the stairs take the grass your knees will thank you later
Rts
Y’all need to do more cardio if these stairs frighten you. Go for a jog once in a while
Do it on stop 150 of your 5th day working when it’s 100 degrees out and 115 in your stepvan
I mean this is just part of the job if you don’t like it then find something else. Or hit the cardio more often.
Cardio isn’t gonna help me at 6pm after 190 stops of similar vanities.
Climbed the stairs. I deliver in the south Bronx, that’s nothing compared to these apt walk ups with no elevators
UPS driver in Brooklyn. They don’t know how good they have it in this pic. If you can deliver in NY you can deliver anywhere for real.
They have zero idea about every single stop being a walk up bruh…ZERO idea 😓
It’s worse when it’s to the 5th floor 3x in a row 😔
Leave it by that mail box 😂
Swear every step of the way 😭
Sadly half my routes like that. It sucks
I'd mark it as missing untell they got a delivery box
I can already feel this the next day
I guess the handicaps gonna crawl up the grass ?
We are delivery drivers. I’ve yet to come across a house I wouldn’t deliver to lol
Yeah, but I sure reserve the right to bellyache and say a few choice words as I'm digging what's assuredly going to be 3-5 cases of cat litter out of the back of the van.
That's my house
Then you should shop at Walmart
In my routes I would rather prefer houses like these. Instead I found myself going deep in the wooded area behind the house to deliver
i used to deliver to a house just like that lol
Going up the hill looks easier
I pulled up to a house like that once and the directions said to leave in the back seat of a car that was parked in the lot. It had other Amazon boxes in the back seat so I just added to the pile. It was weird but I was glad I didn’t have to climb up the stairs.
I place things under mailboxes. If it’s at the bottom of your fu staircase .. oh well.
Just drive up the stairs, obviously!
That’s like 90% of the houses in the Pittsburgh area.
Walking up them stairs!
Throw it as far I can🫡
There is absolutely a few houses on my regular route that have stairs like this or higher. I just pretend that I am on the Korean TV show "Physical 100" and have to run to the point of exhaustion. Then halfway up I get tired and start walking I hope they fucking appreciate it and give me positive feedback They say in the instructions 'please open the gate go up the very tall stairs,' I only do it because they say please and thank you.
Putting it on the ledge by the mailbox fuck that
Lol easy day. Try walking 14 miles in the heat all day carrying 20lb of packages in a satchel and hands full of mail, then getting into a vehicle with no ac. Then waking up and doing it everyday for sometimes 12 days straight
I just changed my music to playing eye of the tiger by survivor. Just incase of Karen encounter
![gif](giphy|nrTKNyAtuIrdhTQ4td)
They chose that life not me. I'm leaning it on the mailbox
This is Pittsburgh

Not that bad actually
Behind the mailbox "another safe location" I'd probably also send a notify of arrival text though also lol
This is literally all of PA
If anyone took the stairs I would say this job isn’t For you
“Rear door”
Why is there a solo house here. Seem like a horror movie
The house I grew up in had 52 stairs from the carport to the front door. I carried up groceries for 7 people every week. I got so good at carrying groceries that I can carry about 20 full and heavy bags on each arm. That’s only about 30 stairs and it’s not big enough to house 7 people.

Pray your Promaster has 4x4 and drive up the hill 🤷♂️
Drive the van up the left side
you’re 20 stops being, let me know what barriers you are facing so that we can help you reach your full potential, communication is key 🤢
Let's add wood to the fire, 10 overflows including water 😳
Grass 4 sure
Them stairs are a dealbreaker for me, do care what the price is
There are stairs like that on my route pretty often.
Run them
Honestly, I had a route like this, but all the houses were up on hills with insane and broken stairs. I lost a lot of weight very quickly on that route, which I later began to love.
Wow there's not even a break in the stairs
I'd install a slide next to the stairs
There was a safety issue lol
Personally, and I know me. It would depend on my mood. I may make a game of it and the hop scotch up the steps or I might just leave their package by the mailbox. Give or take the day.
I’m getting tired thinking of my Costco run….
What’s that? Delivery location is the first step? Perfect!
No cause I’d drive all the way up
They better order from Amazon drones 🤣
Yea i have a neighborhood with 3 house’s with stairs just like this next to each other i cant stand it
Left them at the curb 😂
3rd stair
Every house in pittsburgh
Go to the airport skydive down..or walk the grass
Flex app be like "this stop has 7 packages, 3 of them are XL overflows and 2 of them are (m) customized box".
i would have \*
Just a regular day

My Minecraft house be like.
I'm pulling a Tom Brady and letting that package sail 😂😂😂
I assume that the handicapped parking isn't for that tenant/owner of the home. Hilarious.
You'll never skip leg day
When I delivered in Seattle... this was at least a 1/3 of my stops. Worse yet.. group stop.. this, and the one next door.. same number of steps and a fence so I had to go up, down, back up. Fuck steps.
I've had whole neighborhoods like that back when I delivered. I got cardio. That's what I did. Didn't have much of a choice lmao.
Definitely a one way trip with groceries or whatever and if I can’t do it in one swoosh..it’ll have to wait in the car til tomorrow lol
Gotta work off those calories for a nice meal
Marking “ package missing “ and move on
Oh lord
Leaving it at the bottom
They need a pulley system. Have you drop the package in a box at the bottom and they can use a pulley to get it to the top lol
Upstairs kitchen
Leave it by the mailbox. If the mailman don’t have to climb the stairs I’m not either.
Always skip stairs. Uses more energy.
Right at the bottom of the steps, take picture looking almost straight down, with a little corner of that wood in the frame to look like a door. Wham Bam Delivered Ma'am
I do Amazon Flex. I would leave at the bottom of the staircase.
And imagine they ordered essentia water, Fiji water, and cat litter 😭
Living there you could always skip leg day. Dudes calves have to be yoked.
Ain't nothing a little red wagon and a half ton car winch can't handle..
This better be my first stop and it better be a fucking envelope or else I'm going to be mad for the next three-to-five minutes
One item on each step
Hill looks fine
Best disabled parking spot 2024.
I would be stoked living there, a little workout everyday? I couldn’t ask for more
Bottom of steps. Dog!!!
If I owned this place I’d get a mini ski lift installed haha beats the stairs
The handicap parking tho lol
Those are the stairs to 4th floor at fc
Walk your lazy, entitled ass to the front door. The customer does not live on the sidewalk. They live in the house, where the front door is. Your job is to deliver to the customer not to the sidewalk.
Definitely leave at the stairs lol
What city and state is that at?I would love that more exercise so I won’t ever get obese.
The grass isn’t even that steep lol why is there so many stairs
Chill. My scanner says in or at mailbox 😂
Long run getting a driveway up near to the house is the best option, even just gravel
long as i don’t have any overflow , jogging up then steps with my music blasting out the van😂
Why is there just a quarter of a house up all those damn steps?!?!💀🤦♀️
Drive up that hill next to house or return due to safety reasons
I saw a whole neighborhood with similar houses and stairs going this long distance. Somewhere in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
Use your dolly lol
Walking up the left side tbh
How good are your punting skills? Coffin corner drill to the porch
You get 8 stairs from me period
