A package annoyed a DHL courier so much that he vented his frustration on the pickup note. The weight made him speculate about the contents.
Berlin – Heavy packages are probably not a joy for any delivery person. Because then you have to laboriously get the shipment to the recipient's doorstep. Many customers expect to have their deliveries delivered directly to their apartment door - even if it is on the sixth floor. A DHL courier found this anything but funny considering the contents of the package - according to him it could only be stones - and made this very clear to the customer. He left a passive-aggressive message on a pickup slip.
DHL parcel carrier leaves angry message – “Hope they stumble”
“What kind of person orders stones,” is clearly written on the DHL collection slip. The delivery driver emphasized his dismay with a swear word and added: “I hope they trip over their fucking stones.”
It is questionable whether they were really stones. However, there are some possible explanations for such an order, which at first seems strange - for example to equip a new aquarium or to design the home garden. The Stein comment may just be understood as a deliberate exaggeration. At least if you believe what an Instagram user says.
The recipient of the stone package speaks up – “I didn’t order any stones”
Because that's exactly where a picture of the DHL note ended up. More specifically, the account “notesofberlin”, which collects funny notices from the capital. A user spoke up in the comments who said she was the recipient of the package in question. “The note is still hanging on my fridge,” she writes. Of course, this cannot be verified beyond doubt.
According to her, she even wanted to save the messenger from lugging things around: “I didn’t order any stones, I live on the ground floor and even created a storage permit. And yet the courier ran with it to the fourth floor.” She was probably not at home at the time of the delivery, whereupon the DHL delivery person left the shipment with a neighbor.

Complaint from DHL messenger sparks discussion about drop-off location – what is allowed here?
But why didn't he use the specified parking location? That's what another commenter wants to know. “DHL messengers are not allowed to comply with parking permits for public spaces. It will also be there when you give it up,” she replies to the package recipient’s comment. DHL writes about the storage location on its website that it must be “on your property” and “not visible to third parties”. A public place would actually not meet these criteria.
The lady did not reveal what was included in the package, despite repeated inquiries. The storage location also caused problems for a Hermes customer - she didn't understand where it should be. But the DHL couriers don't always know how to interpret the customer's information about the storage location.
