To think is a ridiculous request (work)?

Ive been working at a company in the next city for three years. I use two modes of transport to get there.

When I started they delivered all of my equipment like monitor etc direct to my flat recognizing it was too much to pick up.

Now I am leaving they initially offered to pick it up. But now my manager has now given his 2 cents and said he wants me to bring it myself because he doesn't fancy paying for the courier.

AIBU to simply refuse? It's going to be heavy and not easy for me to do this.

If you don’t want to lug it there sounds like your option is to arrange and pay for courier yourself but I can understand why you don’t want to.

What does your contract say?

But @bluecomputerscreen the reason they delivered it in the first place was in recognition of the issue. So I'm not sure I agree.

They also have just changed their tune this morning from offering to pick it up because my boss said no. They should never have offered then.

If they delivered it, they can collect it.

it's your resonsibility to hand over work equipment when you leave.
