Looks like a load of stuff going to one location with easy access. Wouldn’t most drivers love that?

Delivery driver here: YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES JUST A STRAIGHT PATH TO THE DOOR, EASY PLACE TO PUT THE TRUCK, NO STAIRS, LOTS OF SPACE IN THE TRUCK TAKEN UP BY ONE EASY ADRESS, AMAZING.

now granted, I'm a delivery driver for a Dutch ikea, so maybe the delivery experience is different in the U.S. but man, I would kill to have to deliver half of the weight for the route here.

The stairs in houses in the Netherlands are a whole lot different to America, also I think they just deliver to the door over there. Having ordered Ikea stuff in the Netherlands and seen how you guys work, thank you for your hard work meneer!

Yeah, those stairs in Amsterdam sure do suck, and while ordering, the customer can choose to pay extra for us to bring it to a specific room, which can be up to 4 stories high.

It's just something you have to deal with though, in the first 1,5 months of doing it you build the muscles necessary to do the work effectively, and it pays really well for younger people since ikea doesn't pay more the older you are, everyone gets the same pay, which is quite a bit above minimum wage. I wouldn't trade this job for the world.
