Storing Marketing Materials for Work
Discussion
Just a quick check of how reasonable I'm being more than anything...
I work in field sales (groan) and as such require to take around with me company literature in the form of brochures.
This August it has dawned on my company that they've slightly over-ordered on how many we'll need to get us through the year. Result? They've delivered a pallet-load of brochures to a nearby customer for me to collect with the assumption I'll keep them at my home.
By pallet-load, I mean just under 3,000 brochures. All in boxes about 11 x 8 x 10". Very heavy (obviously).
Historically I've gotten by simply by collecting 15 boxes (apprx 600 brochures) from the office every 4 weeks. Any additional requirements are delivered directly to the customer.
Am I being unreasonable kicking up a bit of a fuss about where to store 76 boxes at my own premises?
I mean we are paid a decent salary, but where the f**k am I supposed to keep these things? I live in rented accommodation, with two children and no garage. I've not got the physical space to store these things! I've done one collection from my customer already and filled the car as much as I was happy with taking (suspension drooping low with the weight).
The customer wasn't expecting quite so many. They're in the way.
What would you do?!
