to expect my delivery to be bought up two flights of stairs

I have twins and I am unable to bring my shopping and my babies up the stairs hence the reason for online shopping!!

The delivery driver, told me he was only going to bring up half my shopping because there wasn?t a lift available in the block of flats where I live and he doesn?t have to bring it up, apparently he told me this last time. I then asked where he was going to put it and he said he was leaving it on the first floor, to which I said every other driver from (supermarkets) have all bought my shopping up with no complaints.

I said I was going to call the customer help line because this was unacceptable, and asked him where he was going to leave the shopping to which he replied I?ll leave it in the van. When I spoke to customer service they put me on hold and rang the store. In that time he bought up the rest of my shopping. Not sure what promoted him to do so.

The man from customer service came back on the phone; he had spoken to the store and said in the terms and conditions, ?Blah blah blah' And said it was up to me to discuss future delivery options. I was crying down the phone as I was so upset at such a confrontation so early on in the morning whilst both my babies were crying and my husband was not at home. Not once did the customer service rep show any empathy towards me.

Looked on the company website and I cant find anything about using a lift.

Arggggghhhhhhhh - over it

I just think if you're not prepared to carry groceries up stairs or your back is fucked and you can't lift stuff then don't be a fucking delivery driver,

We live on the second floor and I had to walk a mile to the store, back again, then carry all the shopping up to the front door, then go back for one child and take in and dump in baby bouncer, then get the other child, then the pushchair. It was pure hell. Just going down to carry up the deliver would have been much easier as the kids would already be in safe places. But yes, I bet it was upsetting in that situation.

YANBU
yes, in the olden days people brought their own shopping up. but then they weren't paying good money for it to be delivered.

Ocado were more than happy to deliver into the kitchen of my first floor flat.
