    I appreciate how the owner MR. ** went out of his way to help me get the package deliver to me in Houston. My package was deliver to wrong address, the person who got the package delivered went to multiple UPS locations but was not successful getting any help. Syed understand the situation, call me and give me correct information and I ended up getting pkg shipped to my location. This is great customer service and shows how dedicated he is to help customer.

    I am writing to share my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by one of your drivers, Steven **, in Blountville, TN. My package (Tracking #**) had been delayed, and I needed the contents urgently. Steven went completely out of his way to ensure the package reached me as quickly as possible once it was in his hands. His professionalism and willingness to help turned a stressful situation into a great experience. I hope he can be recognized for his hard work and dedication to customer service. Thank you, Jennifer **.

      Shout out to the UPS driver who delivered a package in Marine, MN on Friday! I was waiting on an overnight UPS delivery containing a federal apostille and FBI background check needed for a correction with the Spanish consulate on a very tight timeline. I had to leave early for a performance gig and couldn’t receive the package myself, but my parents were there to pick it up.

      They told me the UPS driver ran into construction blocking our road, but he parked and actually walked through the mud to make sure the package still made it to our doorstep. That kind of effort truly goes above and beyond. I’m incredibly grateful — thank you for making sure such important documents were delivered safely.

      DO NOT USE UPS WHEN A SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED!! The receiver is expected to be at home to sign for the package, and the delivery window can be 12 hours. They cannot leave home, take a meeting, take a shower, or even go to the bathroom, or risk missing the delivery. They cannot leave a note to leave the package with their signature in the event they need to step away for even a few minutes. And if they miss the package on a Friday, they must go to a pickup location, but they cannot do that until the following Tuesday...which is a longer stretch than the actual shipment of the package. They claim they only deliver on "business days"...then they define their business day as going until 9pm...but only for delivering their packages...Their pickup locations don't operate until 9pm. Their definition of "business day" is adjusted when it is for their convenience, not the customer's. Horrible business operation!

      UPS is the worst ever. Even if they deliver to a home address it’s usually to the wrong one. And when they ask for feedback they don’t respond. If you want to contact them? Forget it. They make it impossible. 100% of the time they deliver to the wrong address in my community.

      Their drivers will waste hours of your time to save 1 minute of their own. I recently sent a wedding ring to my parents' house to ensure someone was around to sign for it. Did UPS actually attempt to deliver it? No. The tracking looked suspicious so I asked my mom if she got a notice or anything. Nope. They did not even attempt delivery. Instead, they chose to immediately take it to an access point. That's a problem because their access point has terrible hours and I have to work.

      If I wanted to take time off of work to go to a location of THEIR choosing, I would have sent it to my apartment (where I know they won't come up to do signatures) and gotten a location closer to me. I used to be more sympathetic to drivers, but quite frankly they are part of the reason their goals are so unrealistic. They complain about how they have no choice because their goals are unrealistic, but "meeting" unrealistic goals only makes the company think its possible.

      I don't care to hear sob stories about how they needed that 1 minute so they don't miss dinner with their families again, because they do not care about the situations of the people they shaft. I worked as a preloaded their for a while too. More than once I got to work an entire shift in a truck that smelled like pee because the driver left a pee bottle in it. For people who have little courtesy, they have a lot of gall to act like they are owed courtesy when they do not give any.

      I'm lucky that I can take time off of work to pick it up on an accelerated schedule, because otherwise they'd send it back. Costing me more money, time, and a huge headache. All of the disabled people who actually need their deliveries to be delivered or take longer to get to the door due to disability, have little recourse. My grandma has problems with that very issue. Lazy drivers agreeing to do a job that's impossible then acting like they are justified in making it the receiver's problem when they inevitably can't measure up. Instead of having some integrity and using their union to actually do something, they stick it to vulnerable people. What if this was a medication? If they are going to choose not to actually deliver packages, they need to not be charging as if they do and falsely advertising that they will. I ordered it to be shipped to a specific location. They did not fulfill their end of the deal.

      I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the level of service I have received. The customer service experience has been one of the worst I have ever encountered. The information provided on the website does not match what customer service representatives tell customers over the phone, and even when calling multiple times, I received different answers from different representatives. No one seemed to know what was actually going on with my shipment.

      What makes this even more frustrating is the lack of accountability and consistency. Customers should not have to spend their time making repeated calls just to get basic information about a package. Every interaction left me with more confusion rather than answers. The delivery delays have been unacceptable, and the communication throughout the process has been poor. When customers pay for shipping services, they expect reliability, transparency, and accurate information. Unfortunately, my experience has been the exact opposite.

      Based on this experience, I would never voluntarily choose this company for shipping if other options were available. The combination of poor customer service, conflicting information, lack of communication, and delivery issues has completely destroyed my confidence in the company. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience has been so frustrating that I felt compelled to share it. The company needs to take a serious look at its customer service training, communication processes, and delivery operations. Customers deserve better than being given conflicting answers and left wondering when—or if—their packages will arrive. This has been an incredibly disappointing experience from start to finish.

      Was at my apartment all day only to be emailed saying they “missed me” and are rerouting the packing to a UPS center that DOESN'T EXIST. I spend money to drive over to the access point to be told they haven't existed for a while. And now my package is floating around somewhere where I cannot track it or go to get it. I paid extra for this delivery only to be doing most of the work myself. UPS is lazy and the first package I had received went straight into my mailbox, all of a sudden the second delivery they couldn’t even bother knocking on the door or calling to be buzzed in? Doesn't make any sense and is highly unprofessional. Don't pay UPS anything unless you want to wait longer and do most of the work.

      My package was on track to show up on Saturday 5/30/2026 between the times of 2-6 PM EST. At 1030AM I received a notice that the package was out for delivery and at 1120AM it said Delayed. No reason just that it would be shipped at another date and time whenever they got to it ASAP. Nothing changed until Monday morning when it said out for delivery again arrival time 2-6PM EST.

      At 130PM I got another notice that the package was rescheduled until the next day 6/2/2026, once again no rhyme or reason why. So today 6/2/2026 it said estimated delivery 2-6PM and it requires a signature, of course it was attempted delivery at 1045AM no where near the estimated time. When I called them after every change of their tracking system they assured me it would be there in the time frame they said it would be. I am the receiver of a package that was ordered on Ebay so I had no choice in the matter but I will never use UPS ever again - anything else but UPS.

      This is another UPS delivery problem. I ordered a new bed for my apartment which was supposed to be delivered yesterday on Thursday. I planned accordingly and need arrangements for my friend to help me move it into the apartment. I get notification at 8:45 15 minutes before they stop delivering stating that it was being delayed another day, but it didn’t give a reason so it’s now Friday 930 actually and they stopped delivering 30 minutes ago. They’re supposed to be delivered tonight and I made arrangements again. Now they say that they sorted it, which I think means put it on the wrong truck to be delivered so it’s not gonna be delivered tonight and it’s Friday which means now I have to wait until Monday for it to be Delivered.

      This happens every time I get deliveries from UPS. Every single time I know exactly what it is. It’s the driver’s going to get home on a Friday night so they don’t have to do any more work and they probably get in the truck or something. I don’t know exactly what they do with it but that’s where it goes actually. Talk to the UPS drivers and they told me that actually what happens so they inconvenience me twice and now I have to wait until Monday to get my new bed like the other person said I would give him less than one if I could, but that’s the lowest you can give them. I heard that Carol Tome a former Home Depot executive is the new CEO of UPS so maybe she will be able to turn him around.

      I paid more than $100 to UPS to deliver an envelope containing documents related to a transaction worth over $40,000. I specifically chose UPS and paid a premium price because these documents were time-sensitive and important. The original package was sent from Lawrenceville, Georgia to Lakeland, Florida. Inside that package was a prepaid return envelope that was shipped on May 22, 2026.

      As of May 29, 2026, the return envelope still has not been delivered. What makes this situation even more frustrating is that I could have sent these documents through USPS for less than $100 and purchased insurance coverage for the contents. Instead, I paid a premium to UPS, expecting faster, more reliable service and received the exact opposite.

      The tracking information simply states: "Due to operating conditions, your package may be delayed. Your delivery will be rescheduled." That is not an explanation. It does not tell me where my package is, why it is delayed, or when it will arrive. When I called customer service, I spent my time navigating automated systems only to reach a representative who could do nothing more than repeat the exact same message I could already see online. No one could provide any meaningful information about the location of the package, the cause of the delay, or an expected delivery date.

      I even asked if I could pick up the envelope myself because of the importance of the documents involved. I was told that was not possible. Apparently, no one could tell me where the package was actually being held, and I was not allowed to retrieve it even if I wanted to. To make matters worse, the tracking history references a facility in Doraville, Georgia, yet UPS could not provide an address where I could go to speak with someone in person or recover my package.

      A one- or two-day delay would be frustrating. A week-long delay is unacceptable. A week-long delay accompanied by vague tracking updates, no accountability, no answers from customer service, and no ability to locate or retrieve the package is inexcusable. UPS charged premium prices for expedited service and then failed to provide the one thing customers are paying for: reliability.

      At this point, I am left wondering why anyone would pay extra for UPS when lower-cost alternatives offer insurance options, clearer communication, and, in my experience, more dependable service when something goes wrong. This shipment contained documents connected to a transaction worth more than $40,000. The complete lack of urgency, transparency, and customer support shown by UPS has permanently damaged my confidence in the company.

      BEWARE: Apparently Refrigeration Is a Secret VIP Benefit. Now I understand why this location has a low star rating. This review is for the UPS Store at 8226 Menaul Blvd NE in Albuquerque. For approximately nine months, I had refrigerated medication shipped to this location as a UPS Access Point. Every shipment was refrigerated, so I reasonably believed temperature-sensitive medications would be handled appropriately. Then one shipment was left unrefrigerated and ruined. An employee acknowledged the issue and documented it. Management had my contact information. No one called. No one apologized. No one followed up. When the replacement shipment arrived, I finally heard from management not to apologize, but to explain that refrigeration is merely a “courtesy” for non-mailbox customers and that I should not expect my medication to be refrigerated unless I pay for a mailbox.

      So apparently the policy is: refrigerate medication for nine months, never tell the customer it’s optional, leave a shipment out and ruin it, then explain afterward that the customer should have somehow known better. Even more impressive was being told that the store bears no responsibility because I didn’t pick up the package fast enough. Apparently accepting temperature-sensitive medication and then failing to store it properly is not the issue. The customer is. If refrigeration is not guaranteed, customers should be told before packages are accepted, not after a shipment is damaged. Based on my experience, if you have refrigerated medication, choose a different UPS Access Point.

I ordered a package and their system doesn’t recognize the address and I corrected. I went as far to ask to leave it in the manager's office of my apartment complex. I also talked to the local driver actually on the day he had my package on the truck. He said it will deliver tomorrow. He knew what package I was talking about as I gave him all the information because it’s small and came in on his route red flag for zip. Customer service is awful and out source. The only bright spot was a young man that help me at the store which has been chaos in Texas period because you can’t go or leave packages at warehouses now stores are chaotic.

      I apologize to him because I know the job and now the main store personnel have to deal with not only chaotic store but chaotic customers but anyways very disappointing, because it was at the top.

      I understand that lost packages can happen, but what I experienced with UPS was beyond frustrating. My package contained custom-made clothing and gifts sent from Nigeria for my brother’s wedding. I have video evidence showing the package being scanned and physically loaded onto a UPS truck… and then it somehow vanished into thin air with no further scans or accountability. Throughout the process, I received conflicting information and spent months trying to get answers. UPS continued stating there was no evidence the package entered the network beyond drop-off, despite the fact that I literally have proof of it being loaded onto their truck.

      To make matters worse, because my label was purchased through Shippo, communication and responsibility kept getting redirected elsewhere even though UPS was the company that physically lost the bag. The compensation offered was minimal and did not come close to reflecting the actual value or significance of what was lost.

      At some point, it felt less about genuinely helping locate the package and more about quickly closing out the claim and moving on. I understand situations like mine may fall into the “1%” of lost packages, but I truly hope UPS revisits how those rare situations are handled because customers deserve better communication, transparency, accountability, and actual support when something this important disappears after entering UPS custody. I honestly still hope the package somehow miraculously turns up one day.

      I’m extremely disappointed with the UPS customer service I received. I paid extra to have my package delivered to a UPS Access Point for secure pickup, yet somehow my package was sent to the local postal service instead. This completely defeats the purpose of paying for a designated pickup location. When I went to the UPS Store to get answers, no one could tell me where my package was or why it was redirected. I was passed around with zero accountability, and the staff acted like they had no idea what happened. Not one person attempted to look deeper into the issue or offer a real solution. I paid for a service I did not receive, and now my package is lost with no explanation. This is unacceptable. Customers deserve accurate delivery, clear communication, and staff who actually try to help instead of shrugging off responsibility.

      I would give this company zero stars, but they don’t allow that. Terrible customer service. Customer service individuals lie to you and just tell you what you want to hear to get off the phone. I placed several escalations and even spoke to management, and no one was helpful (if they even call you back). Was trying to get something for an urgent event and paid for expedited 2-day shipping well before we needed it. When it didn’t arrive at the place on time, after about 10 calls to Fedex and multiple cases opened, we redirected the shipping.

      They charged us for the redirect and then still delivered the package to the original (now wrong) address. It almost seems like every member in customer service has a script they are reading off of. Not even worth talking to a real person at this company. No one, not even management, is helpful.

It went from Maryland, to Virginia, to Illinois, to Wisconsin, to Escanaba, Michigan, to Ironwood, Michigan (which should have been the final destination) on May 20, 2026. Did I receive it…..NO. It was then sent from Ironwood, MI, to Maryland, to Pennsylvania, and it’s currently in Illinois again on May 26, 2026. WTH?? It was originally scheduled to be delivered to me on May 21st. Now I’m getting it on May 29th. I’m so confused. I called UPS and got some run around about ground delivery, blah, blah, blah. He couldn’t answer why this happened. He just kept saying that the package will be delivered on May 29th. Talk about waste of money. They do need restructuring.

      Without a doubt the worst service on Earth. I would have better luck if the package was shipped via pigeon. Constant delays, broken items, missed delivery dates. Package out for delivery... Never shows see you tomorrow. Or "sorry we missed you" even though I was home watching out the window. UPS is so trash. It's not even funny. I wish I could give them 0 stars.

      Terrible now that Amazon is using UPS for both delivery & returns. Ordered heavy canned goods from Amazon, received a destroyed open box with nothing inside. Should have been 30+ lbs., but it was empty. Several more purchases, delivered by UPS, the boxes have been opened & retaped back up. Like these thieving UPS employees are shopping thru your orders to see what they want to steal. Returns now are a PIA. I'm on Day #4, UPS has refused to retrieve my Amazon return. Not a heavy box or anything, just no UPS. I've had to use the Chat with Amazon on 4 days, they keep reordering UPS to pick up my box, but they're nowhere to be found.

      In the winter I bought a heavy snowblower from Amazon. Didn't work. Tried to return it for almost a week. Either UPS didn't show up or they showed up & thought the box was too heavy/large, plus snow on the ground. I finally had to do a return label with the shipping #, then did a UPS pick-up on their website, even that took 2 tries to get them to come out. I've had multiple of the no-label Amazon returns, where UPS is just supposed to show up. Then no one ever does.

      A few years ago, I had an engagement ring made by a jeweler in NYC. They shipped using UPS. With that, you have to insure it & say what's in the box. Sure enough! Driver marked it Delivered, but obviously no signature, stole my ring. UPS spent a month investigating ME, calling, asking the same questions. There was nothing to say, I was home, condos, saw a UPS truck, never saw a driver or had anything delivered. Obviously their employee stole this expensive ring. Luckily the jeweler also used their own insurance & was finally covered, remade, shipped FedEx w a signature. Right after this, UPS delivered my box of wedding magnets for Save the Date to a totally different random unit, different building. UPS is bleeding $$$. Laying off apparently thousands of workers. Good. They can't be trusted, seem to hire incompetent drivers, even at the top, lie about everything.

      I do not understand the point of a delivery estimate that is never accurate. I hate when sellers use UPS. They never show up when they say they will and then you get to wait until they try again. If the delivery window isn’t accurate don’t provide it. It is worse to give bad information than to give no information at all.
