I thought everyone would like to hear about this experience at Lowes in N. Windham Maine. I am a 51 year old man. I am also 100% disabled. On April 19th I went to Lowes In Windham Maine and I purchased building supplies. I purchased 8- 7/16" 4x8 OSB Panels, 16- 2x6s 8'long, 9-packs of 3 tier shingles, and about 6- 1 Lb boxes of assorted nails. I paid a 59.00 delivery fee so that they would deliver the items as I cannot lift them without suffering. I asked the sales lady to please have them stack the items near my storage shed and she assured me this would not be a problem, and why should it be as Home Depot always stacks it there for me. On April 20th the delivery driver arrived with the material and my wife and I met him out front. He was about to offload my material in the driveway. I explained to him that he was supposed to stack the material by the storage shed. (The storage shed is approximately 15-20 yards across the grass from the driveway. He informed me that they never offload anything further away than they can back up to. I explained that I was 100% disabled and I needed him to get it back there for me. He said if I helped he would move it back there. Again I explained that I was 100% disabled and that that would be very bad for me, thats why I had it delivered. He wanted my wife to help him. I said no I will help then, because I was not going to have my wife helping this man carry building supplies. She is much too small and it would hurt her too. So I started helping him. He picked up sheets of OSB and moved them by himself. He picked up shingles and moved them by himself. He picked up 2x6s and moved them by himself. But he insisted that I move my share to help him. Today I am still suffering from having done this. Apparently he just didn't care one hoot. I could have saved myself a 59.00 delivery fee and saved the money for pain pills.
