Dear supplier,

I don't usually blog about work, but this time around, you maxed it.

When I specifically ask you to not ship goods, I have good reasons for that. Specifically:

  • I'm not at my office all the time. Yes, I'm often there, but I'm also often at a customer's place (you know, so I can actually make money). When I'm not at a customer, I tend to be at the office in a noon-through-evening schedule, rather than a morning-through-late-afternoon one (I hate getting out of bed if I don't have to). Since we don't have any employees, this likely means your logistics partner will find a closed door with nobody answering the bell.
  • The result of that is that we'll often find that your shipments end up at your logistics partner's warehouse. Since I have to drive to a warehouse anyway, I might as well choose to drive to the warehouse that is closest—yours.
  • For this "service" of shipping goods away from interesting locations, you charge €20+.
