I wanted to say how wonderful the PD supply delivery guys have been for nearly a year now. They have been on-time, friendly and hard-working. I told our guy in NC that we were moving and he offered to help us load the UHaul. I had no intention of asking him since we were getting the truck during the week and thought he'd be totally exhausted after a full day of work. Well, it turned out that we desperately needed help and called him. He came and worked for hours for a fast food dinner and a little cash. Amazing guy!

I couldn't do what those guys do and do with smiles on their faces. Thank you!!

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!  That was one thing I missed most about PD, the delivery guys.  We had two different ones to delivery, and they were both so sweet & accommodating!  I felt very comfortable with them always.  When they delivered, they would personally call my work 15-20min ahead, so I could leave and meet them at the house,  Thanks for the reminder Drglfd!  I had forgotten about them!

With NxStage, they use Corriers, so you never know who you will get.  But the supplies are alot less than PD, so I just have them leave on cart provided, on my front porch.

Yes, Shout out to Delivery Guys!!!!!!

I really like my PD delivery guy.  He's cool.  He's helpful, and he cares.  Baxter has a good guy delivering in the Inland Empire.  They're lucky to have him.

When Laurie was on PD our delivery guy from Fresenius was magnificent . His name is Ron and nothing was too much trouble for him . I love Ron - he even offered to take empty boxes away .

My Baxter deliver guy is great! He hauls the boxes up stairs and stacks them neatly in our closet. Never have a problem with him. If all delivery guys were that good...

Joe, ours does the same. At one time I could help out with carrying a box but can not do it now. These guys are wonderful we have not had a bad delivery man in 4 years so          LETS GIVE IT UP FOR THE BAXTERS GUYS.               They work so hard.  :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;

That would irritate me too JM. Not sure if it's the transfer center or the driver not able to complete the route the way they are giving it to him.
