Lucas W. is the most knowledgeable and well-mannered delivery person I have ever met. Lone Oak Pharmacy is so grateful to have a wonderful driver like him. Many of our customers have expressed how great of a person he is. Whether it's hot, cold, raining, or snow he always carries a smile. WE APPRECIATE YOU!!

My new Apple Watch 12 was supposed to be delivered Friday, September 18th. The driver attempted to deliver it, but no one was home, and it required a signature. The delivery was moved to the next day, but that was also a problem; we would only be home until 3 PM. I contacted customer service and told them about it, and within an hour the driver was at my door. I can't thank the CS person and the driver enough; great job.

Always delayed, especially on Fridays, payed for over night docs. They were lost then found took a week. Had a important package, to be delivered on a Friday, wad delayed. I called and asked why the said truck had a flat tire. Crazy right. Sell off the company or fix the problems. Start with management and work down.

If I could give no stars, I would. Extremely Frustrating UPS Delivery Experience — Unacceptable Customer Service! My package was scheduled to be delivered between 11:15 AM and 3:15 PM. I was tracking the UPS driver in real time, and at approximately 3:00 PM, he was literally right by my street — yet somehow, my package was never delivered! To make matters worse, this package requires a signature from someone 21 or older, which means I cannot leave my house until it arrives! I have been sitting at home waiting, unable to go anywhere, because UPS cannot seem to provide an accurate delivery time.
I called UPS THREE TIMES, asking them to have the driver turn around and deliver my package. First call: I was told the driver was only 3 stops away and would arrive within 20 minutes. Second call (45 minutes later): I was told AGAIN that he was only 3 stops away and would arrive within 25 minutes. Third call (another 45 minutes later): Now, somehow, he was 4 stops away, and I was told it would be another 30 minutes! HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? The driver was practically on my street at 3:00 PM, and an hour and a half later, he was somehow farther away than before!
What frustrates me most is that UPS clearly has no regard for its customers' time. I cannot simply leave the house and have the package dropped off. I am REQUIRED to be here to sign for it, yet UPS cannot give me a reliable estimate or explain why the driver passed right by my street without delivering it. What is the point of live tracking and a scheduled delivery window if neither is accurate? And what is the point of calling customer service three times if all they do is repeat the same empty promises? My entire afternoon has been wasted waiting for a delivery that should have arrived hours ago. Delays happen, and I understand that. But misleading customers repeatedly, providing contradictory information, and expecting people to sit at home indefinitely is simply unacceptable. UPS, your customers' time matters, too!

Let me tell you how badly UPS stinks when it comes to delivery and customer service. UPS has no business being in shipping business. I needed a boat part to be picked up in Soldotna Alaska and delivered to Wright Air Service in Fairbanks Alaska so it could be delivered in Kaltag Alaska. I paid for overnight service but got ground service because they didn't pick it up for 2 days then they sat on it in Anchorage for the weekend because they only move things by ground Friday to Monday.
My wife Erika had to pick the part up at the processing center in Fairbanks to get it to Wright Air or we have had to wait at least another couple days to get our part. UPS has no clue how to meet deadlines and get something delivered. This cost me a very expensive moose hunt and I wish I could have used Amazon or someone who knows how to get things done. I tried getting a refund but they won't respond to me. Their service agreement prevents any kind of action. UPS just plain stinks.

UPS claimed the address label was missing information on the packages being shipped to me. There are 2 items ordered the same day, from the same vendor, who shipped them out on the same day in 2 boxes using the same fully complete address on both labels. 1 package arrived today, 1 day late. The tracking on the 2nd package said it was being sent back to the shipper. I called UPS c/s who said the address was incomplete and the driver couldn't deliver it today so they're sending it back. I confirmed the full address is correct and told them to bring the package tomorrow. The c/s rep declined to do that claiming they had no way to redirect the package. I pointed out if they diverted once to go back to the shipper then can divert it a 2nd time back to me. Again they declined.
I asked to speak to a manager. At 1st the c/s refused to connect me to a manager, then said they would. I was put on hold for a little over 20 minutes and then my call was dumped. I called a 2nd time. The 2nd c/s rep declined to connect me to a manager but then said they would put in a ticket to a manager who would call me back at some undetermined time. I have not received a return call as of this writing. I have had many packages delivered here, all using the same address. Only UPS has failed to deliver the package.

I like UPS shipping and typically use them when I can instead of USPS or FedEx, but their customer service is horrible. I recently had an issue with a returned package I shipped because UPS said they couldn't find the person or address. I confirmed with the recipient that the name and address is correct. Calling customer service is worse than going to the dentist. Their AI automated call-in line is horrible. And when I finally got through all the gibberish, I had to call (3) times to get someone that I could understand that spoke English. After two hours of wasted time and effort, I still couldn't get my shipping issue resolved. Super poor customer service for a large shipping company.

I absolutely do NOT recommend UPS. My package required a signature, so I stayed home all day waiting for the delivery. The driver never came. Instead, I received a message saying that I needed to pick up my package at a UPS Access Point. I went to the location THREE times over the course of two days, and my package was not there. They couldn’t find it and it didn’t even appear in their system. I then called UPS Customer Service and explained that I needed my package that same day. The representative told me, “Yes, of course, you will receive it today.” However, instead of helping me, she apparently updated the system saying that I had REFUSED the delivery and that I did not want or need the package.
As a result, UPS returned my package to the sender without my permission. How is it acceptable for a company to treat a customer this way and enter false information into the system? I never refused the package. I spent two days trying to locate it and even called customer service specifically because I wanted the package delivered. This was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I trusted UPS to deliver my package, and instead I was left without it because of information that I never provided. I would not recommend UPS to anyone.

I have been dealing with a damaged package claim with UPS since June/July. It is now October 6th, 2026. I have submitted documents, supplied payment information, submitted information about how much my contents of my package was worth, emailed documents for payment, talked on the phone numerous times with customer service and it seems like NO ONE can solve this for me. I have a claim number, a tracking number, a Screenshot of the fact that the claim is "approved" but nothing beyond that.
I don't understand how paying for insurance and paying for a package to be delivered properly, UPS admitting they damaged the package, and then sending it back to me, unsolicited, and then 3 months later I still don't have the insurance I paid for, my shipping fees back, or any type of solution whatsoever is beyond me. I can provide emails, I can provide dates I called, I can provide receipts, but EVERYONE I talk to, no one has any idea what is going on, or can connect me to the proper department.

I paid twice), but UPS delivery department (281-261-1467) didn’t delivery my package, put a noted on my account (Oct 5th at 4:30pm), “not delivery packages, due to unable to receive the payment(?!), UPS my choice account still shows duty due(?) unpaid (?) even though the payment sent twice.

I am extremely disappointed with UPS and the way my package has been handled. My shipment has been delayed with little to no useful explanation, and the tracking information keeps showing vague updates without giving me any real idea of where my package is or when it will actually arrive. This level of service is unacceptable. Customers pay for reliable delivery and accurate tracking, not endless delays and generic status messages. If there is a problem with a shipment, UPS should communicate clearly instead of leaving customers wondering whether their package is lost. This experience has been frustrating, inconvenient, and completely below the level of service I expected from a company as large as UPS. UPS seriously needs to improve its package handling, tracking accuracy, and customer communication. I was waiting on a book for school and have gotten in trouble because of this delay also.

Worst delivery company ever! I was told I would receive a package that I supposedly missed on Friday, on a Saturday. I called and talked to a customer rep that moved not 1 but both packages that were supposed to be delivered on Friday to Saturday. Stayed home again, and no delivery? So, I called back on Saturday and was told by another UPS rep that they do not deliver on Saturdays. What??? Gemini, ChatGpt and every site I checked said they do deliver on Saturdays in my area. So I was lied to about the delivery on Saturday and again lied to about delivering on Saturdays. You can not trust UPS and I will never use them again.

I have had the worst experience with UPS. Currently trying to send a package second day air to Rockford, Illinois and it never got on a plane so the package is late. Package had to be picked up by Wednesday the 30th and UPS shows it not arriving until Thursday. That’s a day late and the l person receiving a package cannot be there on Thursday. UPS is not responding to request to have the package shipped to another destination where it can be picked up. I have also had packages shipped to UPS that were completely destroyed when they got to the destination and I have had packages stolen by UPS employees out of the warehouse. This is the worst service company in the shipping industry.

Spoke with an agent asking for delivery tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. I was still stop number 11. Too much for what we pay for UPS slow behind. They evidently didn't read my notes in large print on the door, "For redelivery tomorrow. Do not leave any package today." So if my package is gone tom when I go to that address ok well.

It doesn't matter what I order, but I can pay for overnight shipping and they send it when they want instead of when I requested. I'm tired of getting representatives that tell you they have reached out to the drivers dispatch unit and they have been informed of the urgency of your delivery, which is all lies, and then they place you on hold, just to tell you they can´t contact anyone from that department. UPS needs to hold their drivers and dispatch people accountable.

So, if you think the US Postal Service is screwed up, check this out from United Parcel Service: I ordered some car parts from Canada before the tariffs kicked in. The parts were shipped via UPS. The parts sat in Atlanta for two weeks. I filed a lost package report. UPS said they couldn't find the package and sent me a claims form. I filled out the form and sent it to UPS. Today, I received an invoice from UPS for customs duties for a package they lost that was shipped before the tariffs kicked in. I called UPS customer service, and they said they paid the claim! I asked whom they paid the claim to, and they said, "to the shipper"! I don't have the parts, I'm out the money I paid for them, and they expect me to pay customs duties on a package that shipped before the tariffs kicked in. They wonder why they have a one-star rating on Trustpilot.

If I could rate UPS with a negative zero, I definitely would. I am a college student being waiting for a book that was emailed to me since last week. I should have received it by Friday night (September 18) and turns out they could not deliver it based on a “mistake” on the address. There was never no mistake on the address just an apartment # missing. I went on the app, I was charge about $2 to fix the “mistake” of the address.
The next day they claimed they came to make a delivery attempt which I know is NOT true because I was constantly paying attention because I need the book for my class. I went back on the app and was charged $7.99 for the option to hold the package at my nearest UPS location. It is now September 23 and the package is now “running late” with no delivery drop off date. Meanwhile, this is academically affecting me because I need this book to complete class assignments.

Customer service is atrocious. The website is not user-friendly. The website lets you change delivery to an access point but does not tell you the package cannot be signed for.

I have had a number of experiences with UPS deliveries. First you get a delivery date and then they change it, slip it is more to the fact. This past experience is even worse. I dropped of a very time critical package at the UPS store. I was shipping the package Next Day Air and was assured that the package would be delivered the next morning. I mailed it on a Friday and was guaranteed that it would arrive on Saturday morning before 10:30 AM. Your guessed it, it will now arrive on Monday before 10:30 AM, maybe.
This package has some critical health information on a very thin timeline. But to UPS it is just another package that shipping was purchased at a premium cost, Next Day Air and shipped by UPS like a 2nd Day Air. I am sure UPS will refund the difference. (sarcasm). The real problem is not the money it is the fact that 1. I was guaranteed arrival the next morning and 2. the time critical health data is now two days late. This is not life or death data but it could prevent future life or death situations. When UPS went woke their service suddenly started going in the wrong direction. I think they have sunk below the USPS.

UPS has been one of the worst delivery experiences I’ve ever had. They came to my home THREE different times and each time simply left a tag on my door saying they couldn’t deliver because no one was home. I was home ALL DAY on all three days! No one rang the doorbell or made any real attempt to deliver the package.
To make matters worse, it’s nearly impossible to speak with a live person, and when I tried to change the delivery from my home to a UPS Store or pickup location, that option wasn’t available. Three failed “attempts” while I was sitting at home waiting for my package is absolutely ridiculous and extremely frustrating.
