When delivery drivers foul up

[LVSteve]

Could you have phoned the nearest Walmart to try to find out who it should have went to?

At 2200 (10 pm) when the stuff had sat out there for an unknown time? Which Walmart would I call? There are a bunch just on our side of Vegas. Oh, one thing on the label was a 5 pm delivery. Nope, it wasn't there at that time because my wife didn't get home until 1710.

What's the rationale behind that?

When it's hot and you're trying to cool your house, the last thing you want to do is stick a 4000 lb heated flat iron with wheels inside the structure. Most of the homes here have integral garages. Then there is the small matter of letting a wedge of 100°F or more air into the garage when you open the door. It does help leaving the car outside until after dark.

That makes a lot of sense

Escort wife to go outdoors? I'd be moving.

Welcome to life in the big city. I'd have done exactly the same in London in the 1970s.

Like I said, I wouldn't live there.

Possibly not the driver, the person taking the call could have mis-understood the sddress, or wrote it down wrong. Wasn't there any addressee information on or in the delivered bags?

Orders are not taken by phone. You have to sign into your account and order everything online. It was the driver that messed up. I haven't meant a driver that speaks English. But they have an app they follow but how they got this wrong I don't know,
