Sent a package for my daughter's birthday which I sent late. Very concerned it would arrive in time. The young lady who helped me was very kind and helpful. Walked me through a few options. It got there in time and I was very pleased with the service and the kindness shown to me by Meek. Beautiful young lady. Thank You!!

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.

This company does NOT have the customer's satisfaction as a priority at all! I had a package scheduled for delivery on Aug. 17. I always check online to get delivery updates. There was no notice left on the door and the driver deemed the package return to sender.. there wasn't even a courtesy second attempt made! Why is that? I reordered the product and once again, delivery was attempted 8/27 @5:46pm. I came down to the lobby @ 6pm! This time a notice was left stating redelivery would be attempted the next day, 8/28 (today). At 6:28 this morning, I checked the website and once again, the delivered status said scheduling return to sender! What kind of customer service is that?! I'm DONE with UPS!

Deplorable service - I paid for a next day delivery service only to be told that it was delayed and it will take two days. No luck with getting help from a live agent. Unacceptable and deplorable. Will never use their service ever again.

UPS has one of the WORST customer support representatives on this planet. I am 99.9% sure every single person that works for UPS share 1 collective brain cell. But not ONE of them actually uses it. Untrained monkeys would be able to do a better job at customer service. I am going to send them a job application from my cat. He'll be a manager in 2 days.

I will not go to UPS anymore; they are liars. Their customer service is terrible, and they lost my package. I wanted and paid for next-day service, but it's still sitting there. I don't trust them. It even says on the internet about UPS that they are fraudulent. Whether they have a new billion-dollar deal with the government or not, I will not use their services. I just hope they find my package and send it back to me. The customer service gave me depression.

I am sick and tired of UPS drivers being lazy and refusing to follow orders for delivery. EVERYTIME, not once in awhile, but EVERYTIME I order something online and it's shipped by them, the delivery instructions are never followed. My orders are to be left at the BACK DOOR, not the front door, not the mailbox, not the sidewalk, the back door!! These instructions are on every order I make online and there is no excuse for them not to be followed. I don't want my stuff stolen, so out my stuff by the back door!!!!

I had to sign for my package. It was a box of cigars I had as a gift. It took two weeks to have it delivered and I was not there when they arrived. I took an hour to try and download the phone App. To change the delivery date. It was supposed to arrive today, but I called twice and checked my app. There is ZERO information on the App. Or customer service. This company does not give a care about you, the customer. Even USPS performed better the last time I ordered cigars.

I called customer service about a medical package that was supposed to be delivered either yesterday or today and it was delayed again. And I called 5 times and they kept telling me that someone would call me back in an hour and after 6 hours no one called. But they said that they called and left messages but wife or I never got message and they lied about it. And now my wife is out 300 dollars for medicine that she needed and now they say that it’s up to billing if we get 300 bucks back.

Tried to get a two day delivery that took seven days and then a next day delivery that took 4 days. Bot caused problems. Then got runaround when asking for refund. Make out like you can file refund claim in app but found out after getting runaround with agent that I had to call within a certain time. Got dropped off call to survey. Believe UPS was accepting quick delivery package mowing a high level in company that they could not delivery. Claimed it was emergency situation. Little internet search would say it was there own causing and checking weather maps confirmed no bad weather. Higher ups should be held accountable for such deceptive operations. Total bad experience this time were if I had known they could not make delivery, I would have used FedEx or postal service. It cost me another $500 dollars to replace what eventually came late.

1st let me say the UPS drivers are great and do an excellent job. The problems with UPS are in customer service, management and website design. When a package is addressed to a post office box, instead of the physical address, customers get a notice of delay and it says, "we are trying to obtain an alternate address to deliver your package to." But the UPS website does not have a phone number to call and give the physical address to, nor a link to fix it. They do have links to "deliver to a neighbor" or "deliver to another address" but they charge additional $ for the latter and the former they don't update the package info for days to a week or more later. Sometimes the packages are even sent back to the shipper, when it would be very simple to have a link saying, "provide correct physical address" and you just type it in and the driver gets the new info immediately!
Next, if you call customer support, they are terribly incapable and incompetent. I've talked to them multiple times over many different issues and they very seldom solve anything at all. Another problem with UPS shipping is that their website gives you a quote to print a label based on size and weight and destination, and often they charge an additional $$$ to your credit card after the fact, stating that the weight or dimensions were more than they were, thus overcharging you. This has happened quite a few times to me, so I don't trust their services. The delivery team seem to be great, including the hubs and the drivers. Management and website needs major improvement!!!

Do not use UPS to have something sent out by US mail. A few years ago they "lost" a phone I was trying to mail in as a trade in. Last week I was in a hurry and used them again. I made a sale of antique jewelry from my grandmother on Poshmark and the package has "disappeared". from the UPS store. They have not answered nor returned my calls. I am going down there this AM to try to talk to and find the lady that "mailed" it. I will NEVER step foot in a UPS store again. Horrible customer service and thieves.

Had a glimmer of hope when representative gave me the number to the UPS Care Team (866-706-6894 if you want to call them for fun). Joke's on me. They wouldn't even give me the address where my package was incorrectly shipped, even though it was shipped with my name on it. The "Care Team" representative was difficult to understand, but he could say the word "No" very well. Just more un-outstanding service from UPS.

Just wanted to share an experience with a company and implore everyone I know and another who can hear me to never use UPS! Sorry for the long read: On Wednesday of last week at about 11:00 am a customer of mine had a very large check for me that had to get paid out from me on Friday to vendors. They are in Tom’s River NJ. Fed Ex could not get it from them in time but UPS guaranteed they could pick it up by 1:00 that day and have it delivered to me by 8:00 the next morning. I was completely jammed Wednesday and Thursday, otherwise I’d have driven to NJ and picked it up. We printed a label at our office from the UPS website and sent it to my customer. My customer sent me a snapshot picture of the UPS driver picking the check up at 12:44 Wednesday, so I felt confident I’d have it the next morning.
8:00 am Thursday came and went, as did each hour of the day. When I checked the UPS tracking it said it was waiting to be picked up. Called UPS help, spoke to several people, none would divulge a real name or employee number, including supervisors who told me it wasn’t picked up, and there was a problem with the label we made, that it said it was to be picked up at our office in Huntington Station, NY and delivered to Huntington Station, NY. I had a copy of the printout showing Tom’s River NJ but they refused to believe me. They then said since I arranged the delivery via a 3rd party website they couldn’t guarantee anything was correct, but I had the paperwork showing I used UPS.com, the direct site. I confirmed again with my customer and they said it absolutely was picked up and sent me a picture again of the UPS driver with the envelope in hand (they have cameras all over their offices).
At 7:00 pm the UPS tracking said it was picked up at the Tom’s River office at 7:00 pm, (they close at 5), and was scanned in and arriving at their Philadelphia facility. It then said an hour later it was delayed due to aircraft trouble but should be by me by 8:00 am Friday. Friday morning came & went, the tracking website said my package was arriving in Kentucky. UPS supervisor and then his boss, a supposed area manager. Spoke to UPS manager again who absolutely promised it was not in Kentucky but was still in Philadelphia, claiming he checked with a supervisor there and they physically had it but aircraft delays were still happening.
All day yesterday it still said on their tracking that my package was in Kentucky and this morning it was scanned in at Jamaica and then 2 hours later at Farmingdale, 5 min from my office. Will I get it tomorrow? Will it be in San Diego instead? Who knows. What bothers me the most is the complete lies and incompetence. I wonder if there is still a check in my envelope since it was completely missing for 30 hours before UPS knew they had it! I was told however not to worry, they would refund my overnight fee, (not the base delivery fee). Please, use the USPS, Fed Ex or carrier pigeon, but never UPS!

UPS Shipping Experience — Extremely Disappointing. I paid 3,000 of declared-value coverage because I wanted to make sure the computer and its contents were protected. Unfortunately, my experience with UPS from beginning to end has been extremely frustrating. UPS was originally scheduled to pick up the package from my home. I made sure someone was home, and I even received an email stating that the package had been picked up. However, when I returned home, the package was still sitting by my door. My 18-year-old son, who was home, confirmed that no UPS driver ever came to pick it up. I contacted UPS, and they said they would send someone back out. No one came.
Two days later, I had to take the package myself to my local UPS Store. They accepted the package and shipped it. I sent my daughter the receipt and tracking information. The package was supposed to arrive within approximately a week, and because I had requested an adult signature, my daughter carefully monitored the tracking so she could be home to receive it. Then the problems continued.
When my daughter noticed that the tracking information had not updated, she contacted UPS. She was told that the package was considered lost because it had not been scanned for more than 24 hours. She was instructed to open a lost-package claim, which she did. From there, we repeatedly had to call UPS for updates. We were repeatedly told the package would arrive within another day or two. Those days would pass, and we would call again, only to receive the same answer. Then, unexpectedly, the package was delivered.
The box arrived badly damaged, with some of the blankets we had used for protection hanging out of the box. UPS had apparently placed another box over part of the damaged package and taped it together. Thankfully, my daughter took pictures of the package exactly as it arrived. I had also taken detailed pictures of the package before it was shipped. We submitted a damage claim and provided pictures showing the condition of the package before shipment, the condition when it arrived, and the damage to the contents. Then began another frustrating process.
After hearing nothing for several days, both my daughter and I contacted UPS multiple times. We were told that someone would contact me, as the sender. Weeks passed before I finally received an email stating that the damage claim had been approved and that they needed proof of purchase. I provided pictures of the purchase receipts for the items inside the package, which had been purchased through Amazon from a third-party retailer.
Another week passed. My daughter and I continued calling to make sure UPS had everything they needed. We were told the claim was approved and was simply waiting for the claims department to issue payment. Then I received two additional emails requesting invoices. The wording was unclear as to whether they wanted an invoice for the shipping transaction or invoices for the individual items inside the package. I asked someone to call me so I could clarify exactly what they needed. No one called or emailed me back.
So I sent them the shipping receipt along with the Amazon purchase receipts and asked them to reconsider requiring manufacturer receipts for every item. These items were purchased from a third-party retailer, and I had already provided documentation showing what was purchased and the value of the items. Still, no response. This entire situation began in June. The package was finally delivered on July 1. It is now August 13, and I have spent weeks repeatedly calling UPS trying to get answers. During one call, the claims representative actually asked me what I intended to get out of my phone call when I was trying to explain the situation. I asked to speak with a manager or supervisor and was told there was no one available.
On August 13, I called again. I was transferred to two different people who each told me they were not responsible for handling the claim. Eventually, I reached someone who once again told me that the claim had been approved and was simply waiting for the claims department to process the payment. After explaining that I had already been through this multiple times, I was placed on hold for more than an hour. I was then told that a manager could call me back at 5:00 p.m. I agreed. The manager finally called at 5:28 p.m.
During that conversation, I was told that the claim was now being denied because my daughter had signed to release the package to another adult because she had to work. This is extremely frustrating because UPS had already delayed the delivery for weeks, the package was ultimately delivered damaged, and we had photographic evidence of its condition when it arrived. I was also told during the conversation that the package had been damaged while in UPS's care. Yet the claim was still denied because my daughter authorized another adult to sign for it.
After more than an hour of a very frustrating conversation, I asked how I could appeal the decision. The manager gave me a phone number. After hanging up, I realized it was simply the regular UPS customer service number. I called it and was transferred to the wrong claims department again. Eventually, I was transferred back to the regular claims department. I explained everything that had happened, and the representative placed me on hold for two and a half hours and never came back to the phone. At that point, I finally hung up.
I paid 3,000 in coverage. I carefully packaged the computer to protect it. I documented the package before shipping. I documented the damage when it arrived. I provided purchase receipts and every piece of information requested. Despite all of that, I have spent weeks being transferred from department to department, placed on extremely long holds, given conflicting information, told the claim was approved, and ultimately told it was denied because another adult signed for the package.
This experience has completely destroyed my confidence in UPS when it comes to shipping valuable items. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering UPS for an expensive or valuable shipment to carefully consider their options and understand exactly what their declared-value coverage actually covers.
In my experience, paying for additional coverage did not provide the protection I believed I was paying for. The lack of communication, inconsistent information, delays, damaged delivery, and claims process have been incredibly disappointing. UPS needs to do better. Customers should not have to spend weeks chasing answers after paying for a service and additional protection. I would not recommend UPS for shipping expensive or valuable items based on what happened to my family.

Poor business practices, double-charging customers with BS brokerage fees. Paid $115 CAD for delivery, then got charged another $114 BS brokerage fee on a $900 CAD 12V DC motor. This was not tariffs or taxes, those were on top of this fee, called them on it, and they admitted “it was just their charge,” nothing they can do about it. That's a double charge: 20% extra in delivery fees for my part to be delivered to Canada from the U.S. This is called taking advantage of their customers and extortion!

Very frustrating delivery experience with UPS. I was home specifically waiting for a package that required my signature. The driver came to my door, knocked, and left within seconds. By the time I got to the door, the driver was already leaving. Then the delivery was marked as if no one was available to receive the package. If UPS requires customers to stay home and sign for a package, their drivers should at least wait a reasonable amount of time for someone to answer the door. People cannot be expected to stand directly behind their front door all day waiting for the driver. This defeats the whole purpose of a signature-required delivery. Very disappointing service.

ZERO STARS if I could. Absolutely pathetic service. I took TWO DAYS OFF WORK waiting for this package.

My package contains $120+ of temperature- and humidity-sensitive products that are now likely ruined because your driver couldn't be bothered to actually attempt a delivery. I was home. He was at my door. There is ZERO excuse. So UPS—when I open a ruined package, are you reimbursing me, or is screwing over the customer part of the service too?
