To have expected logs to be stacked?

[Changerazelea]

Had a delivery of logs today, delivery driver tipped them in my driveway and then proceeded to tell me "We don't stack love"
Spent the next 2 hours moving and stacking them into my garage while DS screamed and I berated myself for not being assertive enough to have insisted driver helped me move into garage.
Does common courtesy no longer exist? Driver seeing me with baby in arms surely should have offered to help...
First world problems but AIBU?

The company we use offers stacked delivery if you pay extra

And the fact you had a small baby is totally irrelevant. You could have put the baby down, stacked the logs when it was asleep, or paid a local teenager to do it for you..

just because you have a baby you expect the logs stacked - thats your 'problem' he has to make money

Having seen women in Kenya working the fields with their babies strapped to them, I think you could have coped.

I don't know anywhere that does a stacking service around here.

I pay an extra £12 to get mine stacked. Worth every penny.

Our logs were delivered and stacked

Do you expect your postman to open your mail and file it for you? Or the Tesco delivery man to pop your shopping in your cupboards? Didn't think so.

Next time my food shopping gets delivered I'm going to borrow a baby and ask the delivery person to put it all away in the cupboards for me

I might have the plates and cutlery waiting for the dinner man next time we get a curry delivered so he can serve it up for me too.

I'll feed myself tho. I'm not a complete arsehole.

Does your supermarket delivery get put away for you by the deliverer?

Thought not. YABU.

limited you seem weirdly determined to fight the OP's corner here.

He did say it wasn't part of the service.

Plenty of people here are quite capable of moving logs (humping them is another matter entirely and not one I want to discuss) and it's a bit bizarre that you think otherwise.

The guy who delivers our logs charges extra for stacking but we've never felt the need to ask him to do it. He does help by us by unloading the logs into our garden wheelie bins and we use them as wheelbarrows to take them to the wood store down the bottom of the garden.

We've yet to buy any logs for our wood burner. Only had it a few years and we get all wood free. DH usually stacks the logs, cos he leaves me holding the baby.
Our stove complies with the clean air act, although it's not mandatory in our area.
The chimney sweep was impressed with the state of our chimney and said what lovely good quality wood we've been burning.

Yabu OP.

Yabu!! Having your logs stacked is an extra charge - and having a baby is not an entitlement to have it done for free. I say this as someone who’s had logs delivered while heavily pregnant, a baby in arms and now heavily pregnant with a toddler in tow!

I always ask when I place the order if I can have them stacked, and how much it will cost!

I don't think I'm weird MadMags but you are correct in identifying me as determined. You are entitled to think what you want.

Mmm definitely not the normal around here (London borders) and I would never expect any service company to provide free labour just because I had a baby. That would be my problem to sort out ...

Plus log stacking is lovely. Good exercise and such a satisfying sight when they are all looking nice and tidy looking. Right up there with a full fridge and food cupboards, it must be the hunter-gatherer in me.

Put the baby down love - then stack them!

You can pay some companies for the logs to be delivered either in pallets or nets. They cost a lot more though. So you decide - pay less - you stack, pay more they come in blocks.

Wow log stacking seems to have touched a nerve. What a babe in arms I am

Appreciate from the balance of responses I may have been being unreasonable however. Still don't think it is beyond the realms of possibility that the delivery driver could have offered helped me stack the logs.

On another note my grocery delivery guy always helps me bring in groceries to kitchen and has on occasion offered to help me put away didn't realise this shouldn't be part of the service....

It’s a baby, not a disability and it’s frankly bizarre that you expect a different level of service because you have one.

Do you expect Sainsbury’s to pop your food in the fridge because you have a child in the house?

Oh just seen your post before mine. You DO expect them to unpack your shopping!!!

What’s the weather like on planet entitled?

OMG, this happened to me last year! It started raining...

So, I put the baby down, found a large sheet of plastic (cursing that I didn't have a tarp to hand) and covered the logs, then when the husband got home we stacked them together, alternating log/baby in arms.

This year I'm heavily pregnant so will make sure I have a tarp to hand.

👍

I am very excited to discover that it is possible to have logs stacked, as per previous posters.
It is a big job that I hate.
I am going to ask next time.
I have log deliveries from various companies and have always had the wood dumped for me to arrange.

Still don't think it is beyond the realms of possibility that the delivery driver could have offered helped me stack the logs.

Really? For two hours? You still think that?

That's the point of providing a service. He explained that it wasn't part of the service.

So he should just say 'I'm sorry Madam, but I have no time to do that.' He did, basically, he just said it in different words.

In what way was this man a cunt?

If you've never come across a cunty workman you're exceptionally lucky.

You're answering a question that wasn't asked.

This thread is bloody weird.
