YRC called me to say that the bathroom vanity I had ordered from Overstock would be delivered late on a Thursday. It wasn't. Then they called to say that the vanity would be delivered the following Saturday. It wasn't. Next I was told to expect it the following Monday. Alas, it didn't come. So I got in touch with Overstock and said that if the vanity wasn't delivered within "two days" I was returning it.
The day after I got in touch with Overstock, the vanity was delivered, but no one from YRC bothered to call me ahead of time to make sure I would be home. It's a good thing I happened to be home. The vanity was supposed to be delivered to the nearest "covered area"--either a porch or garage. After I heard the rumble of a truck in my drive, I went outside and discovered that the boxed vanity had been left in my driveway, right next to my garage door. The two guys in the truck were preparing to leave. I ran after the truck and yelled, "Wait! You guys were supposed to deliver the vanity into either my garage or on to a covered porch." The driver rolled down his window and said, "No, ma'am, according to our instructions this was supposed to be delivered to the front of your garage door."
But I had spoken to not one, but TWO, representatives from YRC Freight and both of these women had assured me that the vanity would be delivered to the "nearest covered area," either to a porch or inside a garage (someone at Overstock had also verified that the vanity would be delivered to the inside of my garage). I had explained to each of these individuals that I would not be able to get the boxed vanity into my garage without some help. "Don't worry," I was told repeatedly. "YRC Freight will deliver your vanity to the inside of your garage."
Well, the two YRC delivery men were NOT going to do that and a storm was on the way. I knew that the vanity would be exposed to elements that might ruin it before any hired help could come to move it for me. "You guys are screwing me up the ass!" I yelled, in complete frustration as they prepared to leave. One of the men smiled, as if he was amused by my comment and that's when (I'm ashamed to admit) I began to cry like a blubbering fool. In that moment, I felt completely defeated by the whole affair. The other man said, "Wait. Don't cry. We'll get this pushed into your garage for you." And they did.
Fortunately, the vanity looks okay. Things could have been worse. At least they didn't damage the vanity in transit; but I will never purchase an online product that ships via YRC Freight. read more
