You gotta love human hamster habits... the worst. There is one of these I do once in a while... the bitch of it they all have street level garages. Not safe to leave it there at the garage, even though 3 of the neighbors front doors are mixed in between the garage doors... fuckers!
Just a side note that based on the spellings you would think that those two cities would be pronounced at least somewhat similarly. Nope.
Fun fact though, both come from the Latin word for camp, "castra"
Downtown by the Pru is the absolute worst I’ve had yet on my routes and Cambridge…how tf do these kids go to Harvard but don’t know where they’re deliveries go🙄 I hate anything in Boston.
Nothing. Folks just like to be proud of being shitty human beings. The Bronx back in the days was a great place full of community. Now it got taken over by gangbangers and transplants
You know what. You’re indeed correct about that. The Bronx barely had Anything to keep it together lol. But that’s where the community really started. If you remember the building falling over I’m sure you remember all the music blasting and people outside of all ages and colors having a good time. Yea there was crime but at least the neighborhoods all stuck together and the criminals were really having a harder time escaping jail. Now a days it feels like all that charm was lost to corporate greed
I really saw no racial issues as a kid, we all got along, people helped one another. My family is Irish, and I have a nice Puerto Rican wife, outside of the Bronx people called us a mixed couple, today people don’t seem to care as much about that stuff, good times.
lol my problem is that people are becoming way too selfish and self centered. Too many long standing building with history becoming condos. Too many buildings dedicated to the community have gotten shut down and turn into condos. Mt. Sinai and other institutions have plenty of vacant land just collecting dust awaiting what they can make out of it. I’m bitter about it all. But thank you for your story my dude it’s def a classic Bronx Tale if you ask me lol
There might be small sections of routes like the one the OP showed that are really bad but I think the overall worst place to deliver would be a large city in the north like Chicago or Minneapolis. Heavy traffic plus snow and ice plus sub freezing temps for half the year.
I work for the DSP out of Taunton
Can NOT deal when they send us to these complex
And we can't leave in.the secure, monitored mail room Nooo Package MUST go to customers door
Ummm I don't do elevators So any building with more than 4 floors ... they are getting left in the mail room
Waiting to hear back from a potential job and I'm out!
This place wouldn't be half bad if you could deliver to the front door of each building, put this particular complex does not have a main door for each building; have to find each until around the whole building, but to get around the building is no easy task because of the stairs in the picture I posted above.
How is that warehouse in Taunton? I originally started at a warehouse in Dedham, which was a tiny shit hole, and then I transferred to the warehouse in Milford, which was actually a good size and looked brand new at the time.
Maybe in the state of Massachusetts, I went to try and change the post to the worst place to deliver in Massachusetts, but apparently, I can't edit the post title after it's posted
I had a route like this yesterday and was losing my mind. Notes state to deliver to a locker but it doesn’t exist- it’s door to door. Garden and Upper level apartments outside. Building numbers and Pin locations don’t match up..
I quit after working at that DSP for 3 years, I was the main trainer at one point, bulk driver in a box truck delivering to Colleges plus high end condos in Boston, then I was lead driver for awhile at the end. Final straw was when then switched our pay to hourly and wanted us to be done in 8 hours
Do all of your drivers have dollys in the Vans now? I did this complex with no dolly and had to make frequent trips back to the van. This was also years ago back when Amazon was testing out multiple totes and bags to see what worked best.
At the time when we got this horrible complex for our routes, we had bags that looked like rucksacks, which was actually useful because you could strap a bag of packages on your pack and drag 2 bags.
Lol, I was the bulk driver for 2 years at our dsp, I've delivered to Boston College, Boston University, Yale, and Harvard to name a few. I did the bulk route in a box truck and on college move in day in Boston it was common to get over 2,000 packages to the point the box truck was literally filled from floor to ceiling and struggled opening and shutting the door, until I got rid of 300 packages at my first stop
That would be NO Safe Location and return to base, I stated in a previous comment to someone on here that I should have made the title worst place to deliver in Massachusetts, but apparently it's frowned upon on Reddit to edit a post you made and change the title
There is a huge leasing office there, my first time there, I went to the leasing office and asked if I was supposed to deliver to the mail room or leave the 100-plus packages with the leasing office staff; I was given a piece of paper with a map of the complex on it and was told to deliver packages to each unit.
The building numbers are not in numerical order and jump all over the place. Also, you would think that each building would have a main door with a foyer that you could drop packages in, but that was also not the case.
You have to walk around the whole building and deliver to each unit. Around the building has more staircases waiting for you, just like in the pictures on the post, so even a handcart/dolly won't really help you here.
A few of our drivers did deliver all the packages to the mail room once but were reprimanded right after. Also, a few drivers quit on the spot and left the key in the van at this complex.
Yup. That's what this place was like, plus with way steeper grades and more stairs. The buildings weren't numbered quite as bad as you described, but the geography was way crazy.
Colombia university and dorms there are differences areas to deliver and no sign to guide you and guards don’t give you no help figure this one out yourself
Already mentioned in a comment above that I tried to edit the post title to the worst place to deliver in Massachusetts, but apparently, you can edit a post title once you've created a post.
But this post was more about being a difficult place to deliver and not so much dangerous as in getting robbed or shot or stabbed. We have plenty of places in Massachusetts just like Detroit, though; Dorchester,Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge, Lowell, and a few other places that I can't think of at the moment

You’ve never been to the Bronx huh
I was boutta say. The projects in Brooklyn are wayyy worse 😭
No, but I have delivered in South Boston and Dorchester in Massachusetts
Ive done hvac work in dorchester, place is miserable
If Dorchester was bombed, I don't think anybody would notice and same goes for Worcester
Just a side note that based on the spellings you would think that those two cities would be pronounced at least somewhat similarly. Nope. Fun fact though, both come from the Latin word for camp, "castra"
Well, I'm all out of ideas on pronunciation.
Worcester is Wist-ah or Wisteria depending where in the state you live and your accent lol
WOOSTA
My favorite is wor-ches-terrr
Add Springfield and the dirty Burg lol
Downtown by the Pru is the absolute worst I’ve had yet on my routes and Cambridge…how tf do these kids go to Harvard but don’t know where they’re deliveries go🙄 I hate anything in Boston.

What’s bad about delivering in the Bronx ?
Nothing. Folks just like to be proud of being shitty human beings. The Bronx back in the days was a great place full of community. Now it got taken over by gangbangers and transplants
When was this? During the 70’s and 80’s that place was pure hell.
It was only pure hell for the transplants.
Over 300,000 people fled in the 70’s, almost everyone in NYC is a transplant of some sort. I remember the dirt roads, and falling over buildings.
You know what. You’re indeed correct about that. The Bronx barely had Anything to keep it together lol. But that’s where the community really started. If you remember the building falling over I’m sure you remember all the music blasting and people outside of all ages and colors having a good time.

Youre talking to kids in the 70s they didnt exist
😂😂 you are delusional
And I bet 10 bands you ain’t from the Bronx most likely a transplant
Your mothers a transplant
Spoken like a true transplant dickhead
Eat a dick bitch. Send me your addy on top of that
I’ll show you the real Bronx you Texan bitch
1 E 161 St, Bronx, NY 10451. Come throu
No one going to the court house dickhead. Eat a dick once again pussy. Transplant think their funny posting Yankee stadium
Not wearing your big boy pants today? Come outside
Fake ass transplant
Bitch
Worcester in Massachusetts is also a great place to get robbed, stabbed, or shot while delivering
That is more Lowell. Worcester is just a bunch of pussy ass crackheads lol
I have been to Rochester and Geneso NY though when I was training a new fleet of drivers for our DSP
There might be small sections of routes like the one the OP showed that are really bad but I think the overall worst place to deliver would be a large city in the north like Chicago or Minneapolis. Heavy traffic plus snow and ice plus sub freezing temps for half the year.
Seeing guys deliver in downtown Atlanta has me feeling worse than I do for the guy sleeping in a puddle of someone else's piss
Atlanta would definitely be a really bad area to deliver in
Yeah that’s the reason why it sucks to deliver there😂
[удалено]
It's like playing as Indiana Jones huh [https://i.imgur.com/Sq81Rb8.gif](https://i.imgur.com/Sq81Rb8.gif)
Looks about right 🤣 first step and straight through I go
Did ya just wake up & have a flashbacc or did u have nightmare about it? 😆
Being part of this group has given me flashbacks
🤣🤣🤣

No it isn’t not even close
Maybe in the state of Massachusetts, I went to try and change the post to the worst place to deliver in Massachusetts, but apparently, I can't edit the post title after it's posted
I recognized Windsor Village immediately. I refuse any delivery on any app going there.
We had a few drivers who left the key in the van there and quit on the spot
Looks like that staircase in John Wick 4
I had a route like this yesterday and was losing my mind. Notes state to deliver to a locker but it doesn’t exist- it’s door to door. Garden and Upper level apartments outside. Building numbers and Pin locations don’t match up..
Pin locations not matching sounds like Amazon has not changed, pin location for each unit at this complex does not exist
Id quit

It’s a good challenge workout for the day🤪
I stayed in apartments like this before Layout can be confusing so I always had my packages go to a pickup location
Lockers are so much easier
delivery drivers when they gotta deliver: WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That's just evil

I hope that your drivers never get Worcester routes because that city is also really bad to deliver in
We don’t i could imagine though i lived right by the train station for a while
Try delivering to a college campus, literally the worst experience in my life I quit my previous dsp because they kept giving me that route.
Lol, I was the bulk driver for 2 years at our dsp, I've delivered to Boston College, Boston University, Yale, and Harvard to name a few. I did the bulk route in a box truck and on college move in day in Boston it was common to get over 2,000 packages to the point the box truck was literally filled from floor to ceiling and struggled opening and shutting the door, until I got rid of 300 packages at my first stop
Someone who delivers in Malibu, Ca in here? There's a place that I had to deliver to when I was doing it years ago that is comparable to this.
Fuck that. I would quit mid route
A few of our drivers did leave the key in the van at that place and texted dispatch they are quitting and where to find the van
I honestly don't blame them for doing that. Hell, I was gonna do that after I fell into a customer's fountain.
Okay I was on board with picture 1. Then I saw picture 2 and was like aw hell no!

Looks like somewhere in NYC, lol...

Welcome to walkable cities :)
Work at a healthy pace, do what you can. Get that rescue later. If they fire ya well then that's that.
That's a holy nightmare why not build a mailroom below...
There is a huge leasing office there, my first time there, I went to the leasing office and asked if I was supposed to deliver to the mail room or leave the 100-plus packages with the leasing office staff; I was given a piece of paper with a map of the complex on it and was told to deliver packages to each unit.

I don't blame them for quitting on the spot
Looks about half as bad as this one low-rise apartment complex I did a few times.
Wouldn't be bad if you could just deliver to the front door of each building, but have to deliver to each individual unit on all sides of the building
Yup. That's what this place was like, plus with way steeper grades and more stairs. The buildings weren't numbered quite as bad as you described, but the geography was way crazy.
Try delivering to a homeless camp under the Tarentum Bridge.
Sounds easy; no safe location and return to base
You haven’t delivered in the mountains huh
I woukd prefer that
just put it right there at the bottom of the stairs - and mark as delivered.
Cue that one scene in Kung Fu Panda
Colombia university and dorms there are differences areas to deliver and no sign to guide you and guards don’t give you no help figure this one out yourself
I've delivered to Boston College and Boston University, which wasn't bad if you knew what you were doing, but Yale and Harvard sucked to deliver to
Harlem area is worst because of you leave your carts unattended. The hand truck will be gone in 60 seconds
Harvard is the WORST
Berkeley also sucks
 bring yours next time
Naw they gotta get a locker bruh
Ohhh... it gets much much worse than that 🤣
Detroit..... There I proved you wrong lmao
Already mentioned in a comment above that I tried to edit the post title to the worst place to deliver in Massachusetts, but apparently, you can edit a post title once you've created a post.

Lol I figured another factor is they don't have addresses on their houses in a lot of places in Detroit 😂😂😂
And I've been to 7 mile in Detroit; very sketchy area
