Narrative:

I was working east arrival and I noticed the handoff I just took was super high compared to what they should be at. The window of the opd is from flight level 230 to 13000 ft and he crossed at FL230. Now this may seem like it's not bad but we have to get these guys down within 22 miles to 6000 ft. The next arrival window is 10 miles and crosses at 9000 ft and the pilot advised almost immediately that he couldn't make any of the other restrictions and was requesting vectors. We at clt are constantly being fed high and fast from the center and this causes a lot of unnecessary work for us and our attention is taken off of our other duties. I hope that we can make either hard altitudes to cross our boundary at; or; best case scenario; we make a fix 10 miles outside of our airspace with a hard altitude that they can't under any circumstance minus emergencies vector inside. This fix will have a hard altitude and force them to make restrictions in their own airspace and vector outside of ours. It is too hard to watch them work planes up until our boundary and still get them delivered high and fast and close together.
