Thankfully I'm strong

I received my latest Chewy order today. It weighed 62 pounds of just food. Thank God I'm pretty strong and was able to carry it to my apartment, but man... I feel bad for the delivery people. No package thieves for that one, I'm sure.

Haha! I always have to open the box and take the food in case by case. I suppose that wouldn't work in an apartment though.

I do feel bad for the delivery employees but UPS and FedEx have hand trucks at least .

In the Philippines I order by just a dozen every time, but not all are cat food as I have dogs. So it is not that heavy, and easy for my kids to bring them into the house. Usually I purchase online 5 cans for my Pepsi and 7 cans for my 3 dogs, so in a week the familiar delivery guys would be at our front door at least twice a week, depending on their appetite. . Delivery would include Pepsi's litter.

Here in Doha I have to buy all cat food and litter from the grocery store. But I am lucky that my husband carries them all to the flat everytime

That's the main reason I switched cat litters. The fine-grained clumping clay I'd been buying in 15 kg. packages for years suddenly was only available in 2-bag shipments weighing 30 kgs (66 lbs.). That's way too heavy. Many of the delivery people are women, too, who have a really hard time lifting such heavy boxes off the truck.

Mowgli's canned cat food is bad enough, but manageable, and I do the same thing W Willowy does.

I was stuck with a 40 pound box of litter for 3 days that I couldn't open. i had asked helper to only buy what she can easily carry.
When she got back she said she wouldn't help me lift it and I asked how she got from the car to the deck steps, up the steps and into the apt. Finally I cut off the top using a huge sharp knife, ha!!

So the litter climbed out of the car and walked into the apartment? That's amazing. I need to get that brand.

Is Hannah coming back (I Hope)?

I order either 105 or 120 pounds of cat Litter at a time when I place a chewy order. My fed ex driver hates me

My 55lb Chewy order is supposed to arrive today. Thankfully my husband works from home now. I usually have to open the box and take things out first.

I have a little collapsible cart with specially designed wheels to go up and down stairs. I use it to move bags of salt to the basement water softener and to move other heavy things in and out of the house.

I read this after I place my Chewy order with 70lbs total of litter...

We get our litter from Chewy too and I always feel guilty when we get a delivery. Not guilty enough to buy it and lug it home myself though.

I’m married to a delivery driver so I can tell you how much they just LOVE those shipments. Especially when a box of litter busts. I hear stories about how bad some companies package things. Chewy just tends to be heavy.

I usually only order 2 trays of wet food at a time so it won’t get too heavy. Sometimes I get three if I’m out of that much. And then I make sure not to order treats with it so they won’t get squashed. I get my litter with my grocery pickup from Walmart so they load it in my car for me. I always thank them for that!
