The Dumbest Delivery Company on Planet Earth

Walmart drop-shipped my smoker via Pit Boss, who handed it to Averitt, who handed it to a company that won't drive in my neighborhood. Four companies, two shippers, zero deliveries. Lesson learned: there is no such thing as free shipping.

The Dumbest Delivery Company on Planet Earth

No Smoker

Getting a smoker just isn't that easy! What a disaster. Walmart didn't actually ship the order; they partner with Pit Boss, which ships direct. They shipped via Averitt. But Averitt apparently doesn't actually do "last mile" delivery, so it was handed over to Davis Shipping or David Deliveries or something.

Davis wouldn't deliver on Friday because they decided they couldn't fit their 26-foot truck into the neighborhood, which is silly; Home Depot had no problem doing exactly that. Instead, Davis requires me to meet up with the driver outside the neighborhood, but "not today". And they won't do it on Saturday either. So that takes us to Monday. What if I ordered something that didn't fit in my car? This is the dumbest delivery company on the planet.

Them (SMS): I apologize. Due to unforeseen circumstance we are not able to get your order out today. We can get this delivered for you any other day this week between 8-10 with a 30 minute call ahead.
