    I spoke to the driver in front of my neighbor's house and he assured me he was at the correct address. I received a message 2 minutes later saying my package was delivered. I looked in my box at my gate it was empty. My neighbor's box was not. It had my delivery in it. The package had the correct address and name on it and the driver still fouled it up. UPS and FedEx seem to have problems with my deliveries more often than any other companies.

    UPS, at least in my locale, is absolutely horrible. They have closed their local office. Their website often as not is non-functional and throws error messages. They deliver to wrong addresses. I am at this moment at home, waiting for a package worth $100+ that must be signed for. They notified me that it would be here between eight and twelve fifteen today. But their site indicates that they never sent it out for delivery. There is nobody at UPS to straighten this out. All the seller can tell me is that I should stay home today, it may come later. This is my day off, and a day of my life squandered on UPS dysfunction.

    I ordered an item from a retailer. Watched my tracking number and estimated delivery time, of course it says before 7 pm. So I’m stuck waiting at home because there’s no 1 hour window. The site said it was out for delivery, 10 minutes later I got an alert that read, sorry we couldn’t deliver your package but the business was closed, I live in a home, not an apartment build or commercial residence. So I called UPS, the representative said, “Oh, sorry about that, the driver didn’t even attempt a delivery because he only worked half day and didn’t get to yours”. The representative's name was “Zed”. He couldn’t help me get it redelivered, but he could send it tomorrow.. NO, I need my package today! He said, "Well we could redirect it to the UPS to the HUB, 15 mins away and we I could pay $5.95 to make that happen." What? I have to pay to get my package because you failed at your job, you only had one job… you failed famously. As you do on a regular basis.

    They gave me a link to sign up at, that doesn’t work, who’d have guessed, so I called back. Now they say the hub is closed and my package isn’t even there. Online it says the hub is open till 6, it’s now 3:00 PM. Do any of these people know what the other doing or what they’re doing for that matter?? This isn’t the first, nor will it be the last time they screw up delivery for me. Because I don’t have control over the shipper's preference. However, I will never use them for my shipping. Maybe I will do business with only companies that use Fedex or DHL or even any other couriers. Terrible service and even worse customer service. Dear retailers using UPS, please don’t pay half price for a bad meal. Make your customers happy.

    The day I am allowed to choose who delivers my packages when I buy online is the last day I’ll be using UPS, god-willing. I ordered a necklace to celebrate my grandmother’s 98th birthday. The sender informed me it was their policy to require a signature upon delivery, so I was surprised when I was in the middle of a shift (I work as a paramedic) and I saw an email saying my package had been delivered. I saw someone scribbled my last name (not my signature) on the proof of delivery. I raced home at the end of a 48hr shift and sure enough, my package was not there.

    I immediately called UPS and they said it was the responsibility of the contractor who actually delivered it. I called the contractor and they were rude and actually offered the explanation that one of my neighbors had probably signed for the package. After filing a claim, I waited almost a month and finally called them only to have them say it was my responsibility to contact the sender. I will be doing just that…after we finalize arrangements for my grandmother’s funeral. She passed away last week, and my last birthday gift to her was a candle I had to get on the way to her house because of this debacle.

    I bought an $800 4k DVD player from Amazon and that was shipped to me in perfect shape with no damage. I sold the player on EBay for about the same price and ship it with the same materials from Amazon. Of course UPS damages the back end of it during shipping and I have to return and refund buyer. I paid for insurance and filed a claim. UPS denies me for inadequate shipping materials. It was double boxed with thick foam padding on top, bottom, and sides. So of course UPS takes absolutely zero responsibility for their negligence and mishandling. It looks like it was dropped, but of course I get blamed for their mistake. I am out $800 plus about $120 in shipping costs.

    Plus on top of it all, they hardly ever follow delivery instructions, forge my signature, knock for 2 seconds before I can get to my door and leave, always refuse to deliver heavy items to my door. They steal money from their employees and treat them badly which partly explains why their service sucks so bad for the customer. It’s extremely hard to talk to a live customer service representative. I really really hate UPS. I hope they go out of business and burn in hell.

    UPS has really went downhill. I had a package scheduled to be picked up, and was told to leave it on the porch by the front door. Later in the day, I received a notification from my doorbell camera showing the UPS driver walking up to the porch, very briefly glancing at the package as he stuck the notification on my door saying I missed my pickup, didn’t even bother to knock just turned around and left. I then tried to contact UPS more times than I can count with no avail. Finally got an answer and the rep could care less about what the driver did and seemed bothered by my business. If I can help it I will NOT do business with UPS again.

    Paid for next day shipping, never received texts with updates, ETA of package arrival. Order was suppose to arrive Friday, waited all day at home with two kids, finally left home and UPS driver left "missed you note." Had to wait all weekend for "next business day" -- even though USPS ships and works on Saturdays --tracking info then said "delay, unknown delivery date". Called customer service, spoke to a bot who refused to allow me to speak to a human. Worst company ever. Apple store uses Fedex, will be shopping there from now on. Not planning on frequenting UPS any longer, will advise same to my friends and family. This is what happens when companies work with more robots than humans.

    I ordered a computer that required a signature. I was told it would arrive on Monday at Noon. I waited all day for it to arrive. The arrival day and time was not updated online, and I received no messages. I had places I needed to go but was instead held hostage in my home waiting for a package that never arrived. Finally, I received a message the next morning saying it would arrive that day at 10:30 am. I had a 9 am appointment that I could not reschedule that late (had they let me know the day before I would have rescheduled my appointment), so I went to the appointment and hurried home. I got home at 10am - 5 minutes after they arrived. There was no number to call on the paperwork, so I wasted time calling three different numbers before talking to the correct department. I am leaving to go out of town in a couple of days and need the computer set up before then.

    She said she would contact dispatch and see if the driver could come back. She asked if I wanted a phone call or an email. I said phone call. She said they would call within an hour. They never called. More than an hour later they sent me an email saying they cannot come back. I did not see that email for two hours. Again, they said they would call. So, again I was held hostage waiting for something that did not happen. Now I will be held hostage tomorrow waiting for them to arrive with my package. They are not the only ones who have a schedule to keep. Such business is unacceptable.

    My company regularly sends me an overnight envelope and I almost NEVER receive it on time according to the tracking that THEY provide me with. I was supposed to receive one today, and of course it didn't arrive. When I called, it took FOREVER to get the automated system to allow me to speak with a real person, and when I finally got someone on the line, they weren't helpful. They just kept saying that it was out for delivery and would be delivered before the end of the day. The package is urgent each time, however it's never treated as though it's urgent. If there was another company or service we could use, we DEFINITELY would be using another one!

    I guess my story is the same as all the other ones.. ordered something on a Friday, with overnight UPS. It's now Tuesday and I'm still waiting for it. We have held up an entire business waiting on ups. Our business is at a standstill until UPS can deliver the much needed part to run our machinery. Next time a company offers to send ups, I will immediately cease any activity with them. From now on, it's USPS or Fedex. This is not the first time. The only dependability about ups, is that your package will not arrive on time. That's a guarantee!

    I run a small business selling artwork, prints, and handmade frames. UPS destroyed my packages/product so badly it seemed intentional. My wooden frames were fully bent and snapped, glass SHATTERED, prints scratched and ripped. These were packaged up to framing industry shipping standards, and would’ve been able to survive a reasonable amount of being pushed around in transit- so the treatment of these packages was clearly horrible. The driver even stated that the UPS delivery team was fully at fault.

    My claim process has been ongoing for MONTHS trying to get back the $8000 that I lost through this. They charged me an extra $3000 for shipping. My claim was first denied entirely, after calling back every day for weeks to appeal they finally furthered the process. Another few months of calling and customer service sends out two checks… for a total of $343.21. Customer Service is awful to deal with, they promise that I’ll receive a callback which I never do. This is not customer service’s fault, the entire company profits off the losses of small businesses and does not take any accountability. Do not ship with UPS.

When calling for an update, provided confirmation that the package would be delivered the next day, however, called again and told it wouldn't be delivered for another 2 days even though it arrived in the local UPS warehouse at 4:00 am.

    UPS continues to be the worst! The latest? A package I've been waiting for all week was "delayed due to weather." The parcel now sits just 2 hours from my house, but they failed to put it on the delivery truck last night, so now it's delayed one business day. Today is Friday which means the package won't be here until Monday. Three more days. Do they deliver here on Saturdays? Of course they do, but they're going to wait on this one until Monday. The weather in Vernon California today? 69° partially cloudy 2% chance of rain wind at 3 to 5 mph. Sounds treacherous.

    They failed to put the package on the truck and will find any excuse they can. This happens year after year. And attempting to speak with somebody at the company is now near impossible. Just a loop of automated responses. And it's pointless because they never offer any helpful information even if you are able to talk to someone. I never choose UPS if given a choice of delivery options. I wish more businesses would pick up on this and start picking other companies for delivery service. That's the only way that UPS is going to get the picture and start to clean up their business.

    UPS offers insurance for packages sent. However they have a total different company called UPS Capital for insurance should your package become lost, stolen, or broken during shipping. UPS Capital has a claims website you now use to file a claim should your UPS package have one of the above stated issues. After you file your claim with UPS Capital they will never email or call you back. You will message them and check the status on their UPS Capital claims website and there is never a new status. This insurance they offer is totally a fraud. There is no one who will ever contact you no matter how many messages you leave either by phone or on the claims website.

    My customer received a damaged package. UPS rejected the claim based on the following reason: The item must be packaged in the 275# tested box, not the 200# corrugated box, which can handle up to 65lb items. Our package's net weight was 11lb, and gross was 14lb (proven by the UPS receipt when sending it to the customer; he also got the receipt with the exact details when he shipped it back). It doesn't matter, even if you have documented everything and followed the rules set by UPS. There is no way to appeal the claim since the UPS insurance department is as customer unfriendly as the rest of the customer service. Save your money. Please don't waste your money and time. The only way to get your money back from UPS is through a small claims court.

You have to respond to several limited problem inquiries, it provides absolutely no useful information and then hangs up on you.

    I bought suits and Clark's shoes in Kampala, Uganda and had a friend fly with them to Maryland. On May 8, I scheduled a pickup with UPS to pick the items and deliver them to me in Durham, North Carolina. I expected to use the items on my graduation on May 14. Delivery was expected to happen on May 10 but did not. I filed a claim on May 14. On May 30, I receive an email requesting me to upload the original receipt/invoice. On June 3, I upload the original receipt as requested. On June 8, I call UPS to find out what the status of my claim was and I am told it has been finalized and processed, and that I needed to send a letter confirming my address for the claim cheque. I upload the letter that same day and I'm told to give UPS 5 working days for the claim to be processed.

    On June 16, having not received the claim, I call UPS and the agent advises that the documents I provided were incomplete. I ask what information was missing from the documents I provided and I am told a person from claims support would call me in an hour to provide that update. I wait an hour but receive no such phone call. I call again and another agent claims a UPS agent tried to call me but was unsuccessful and left a message, but there is no missed call, nor a voicemail. I call again, and the agent insists I reupload the original receipt. I ask them what information they were missing from what I had already uploaded as it would make no sense to reupload the same documentation they already had, he says the UPS claim support agent would send an email with an update.

    A whole month and 2 weeks and I did not receive a package whose pick-ups and delivery I was charged for; a package whose contents I required for my graduation - a one-time experience that you can't get back.

    I have very negative experience with UPS, I am not sure if their drivers steal the things or not but whenever I order which is bit expensive, it never get delivered to my house and they lose the package every time. And then I need to do multiple follow up with UPS to get the investigation start and after the investigation result is always nothing. And then refund process. They need to understand that sometimes money doesn't matter much as we need those items on time and if we don't get items delivered on time then there is an impact and we lose. I will never suggest anyone use UPS to deliver any expensive items.

    In the recent incident Driver came to my house and then he said he has package for me and I was really waiting for that. But seems driver was holding someone's package and then he said that he need to get my package from the truck. He went to his delivery truck and after 5 min he says he don't see my package in the truck and left without delivery. But that item got delivered in the afternoon to Houston Post office on the said day, however I am in Fulshear. I am not sure how come drivers don't understand the difference in address of house and post office. However that package required signature while delivery. Still they delivered wrong place. And outcome is they lost it. :( Very bad delivery service. Will never use UPS.

    I always expect deliveries and have good experiences with USPS, Amazon & Fedex. Although I know that having a package container in our porch and a sign to “put package in the box”, deliverers are not obliged to do so, however all of the delivery companies I mentioned are conscientious and professional. They put them in my box.

    But UPS, they just throw the package on the porch and several times, we saw them stolen from our CCTV. There was even one instance they left a perishable product on the side of the porch where it’s not seen on camera. UPS needs to train their drivers. They are being paid to deliver packages in good condition and not just throw or leave them wherever they pleased.

    They leave packages out by garbage and cannot drive up my drive to put on my porch and I’ve complained many times and you do nothing. Last package was in the middle of my driveway in a mud puddle in the pouring down rain. They couldn’t even bring it up to my carport or put it on the porch like I’ve asked them that are in the order descriptions to do. They have left it out by my garbage cans out by the road. One time it was a cabinet that was 120 pounds. Now, how did they expect me to get that up to the house? Worst company ever. I didn’t have to deal with UPS I wouldn’t.

    Original Review: June 2, 2023

    My study abroad student left retainers at home. First, the UPS Store employees did not tell us about customs' duties and taxes and being tied to the value. I valued them at $300, and paid $200 to Ship them. When they arrived, there was a COD charge of $107. Basically, the retainers are either worth thousands (as the cost to keep thousands of dollars worth of orthodontic work intact,) hundreds (to replace the physical retainers,) or $0. (As my student's teeth move, and no one else could use them.) When we contacted UPS in both countries, I we were given the run around by a number of employees phone/email. (One, Actually, sending me back to the UPS store, as "They could revise the invoice.") No, they could not. I wasted countless hours and finally just paid it. I am extremely disappointed in UPS. I had always chosen them over FedEx. -If I could go back, it would be $0.

Instead of delivery to to the front desk of the stroke rehab, they gave the package to some passer-by. They got the guy's name, but staff said no one by that name worked there. I spent hours on the phone with staff and Amazon trying to get my money back or locate the flowers. UPS hung up on me, staff manning their Twitter account flat out refused to be helpful, and those manning the customer service email were flat out rude. My husband's bank, the biggest in the nation, just went with FedEx instead, because he told them how UPS staff behaved in this matter.

    Everything proceeded problematically from the initial signing. After signing up as a user, I booked a pickup and ship service. The driver did not show up. When the driver missed the deadline for the pickup, I phoned and was told that the driver would still come. The driver did not come, and I had to switch to FedEx to get things done. Tried to get my refund from UPS. The phone numbers direct and redirect, then you reach a person who redirects you to the same number with a bot that won't tell you anything without a tracking number or an account number. I had a pickup schedule number. I never made it to a tracking number because the package never shipped. Also, I do not have an account number, only a billing mode which they were very efficient in billing despite not having provided the service. Furthermore, they charged me more than quoted in the pickup schedule.

    The bot does not recognize pickup schedule numbers, only tracking numbers as if all their calls are about tracking. Two weeks later, I am still trying to get someone to refund my money. One time in the five different tries, I was promised that once the invoice was raised, the refund will post and that I would get an email from them to this effect. The pickup charge was posted on 24 May 2023, and today is 1 June 2023. I will now have to open a dispute through PayPal. I make my payments through PayPal to guard against commercial enterprises of the UPS kind with whom engagement is mission-impossible.

    It is tempting to choose the relatively lower cost of using UPS by comparison with FedEx, but I discovered to my dismay that the value/price ratio is a better deal with FedEx. I'm still astonished by how such an iconic establishment like UPS can be so dysfunctional with customer services like pickup, ship and resolve disputes - unbelievable degree of rigmarole.

    Don't use UPS to ship anything — if you care at all about the items you're shipping. They completely mutilated a package of mine carrying a number or items for my new apartment - it even had a huge hole ripped in it. They completely destroyed one larger item in there and dinged and dented multiple others. I sent photos of the destroyed box and damaged items to them and went through a ridiculously tedious and useless process to be told that since I didn't take photos of the inside of the box, while it was packed - "there was nothing they could do." I had to unpack everything to SEE the damage!!!! I spoke with multiple people, including management, and each time they said they would follow up after speaking to inspections and nothing. After weeks of this, nothing was ever done. They are a total joke and don't care at all about their customers.

I am now dealing with identity theft and fraud issues which has been extremely draining, frustrating and exhausting experience for me and my family.

    UPS employees at this warehouse should NOT be allowed to make copies of customers driver's license because personal information isn't stored properly at this warehouse/location and can fall into the wrong person’s hands. Next day I called ups 800 number and filed a complaint. Customer service said they will have the manager of this warehouse call me but I have never heard back.

    Horrible experience! I shipped a 401 k rollover check through UPS. I realized they lost my check 10 days later. Tried following up for another couple of weeks. They told me the check was lost and I needed to file a claim. Meanwhile I had to cancel the check and ask my old 401 k provider to issue a new one. UPS made me run in circles between the store and their customer service to resolve the claim I filed. I visited the store at least 4 times. And called and emailed their customer service a couple of times each.

    15 days after the check was reported as lost, UPS found and delivered the now cancelled check. Which created more issues for me with my new 401 k provider who deposited it and then had to revert the payment. I am still sorting out this issue. However, UPS at their end, very casually closed my claim with no resolution. They didn't even pay me back the shipping charges they charged me for a package they lost. Let alone reimbursing me for the trips to their store and the trouble they put me through cancelling and re-issuing checks.

Of course it is a crazy outrageous rate. I called them complaining.. they tried to bullshit me with excuses like "we need to use large boxes" for liability reasons.

    The ** on the phone said it cost $27 to package the item. $27???? for a resized box after I complained and a little bit of bubble wrap??? The box weighted 7 OUNCES!!! I was able to get this reduced to $39 which is still super ridiculous. The truth is I could ship this USPS priority anywhere in US for around $10. UPS I guess is ok for some bigger stuff, but on smaller items..THEY WILL SCREW YOU OVER...so BEWARE. It's so bad now that I have almost refused to buy anything that uses UPS.

UPS garners signatures less than 20% of the time and loses packages 15% of the time. Here is our most recent story of general UPS insanity: Beginning on 2/20/23, we contacted UPS about a package that had not been delivered to our client. UPS location slick number 0270, Dartmouth, Massachusetts was charged with delivery and failed. There has been no driver follow-up sheet issued. There was follow-up with driver verbally. Client's number was provided to UPS in writing.

    Client also contacted UPS on 2/21/23 and informed UPS that she did not receive package. At our insistence and after speaking to our client, UPS reopened case and told us to wait 8 days for a resolution. UPS claims to have contacted some unknown entity on a number that is not the number of our client. UPS claims 3 times to have delivered said package - it did not. UPS twice closed the case, claiming they spoke to our client who said she had the item.

    This is false. This is a lie. Our client did NOT have this item. UPS did NOT speak to our client, and, did not speak to their driver. We spoke endlessly to our completely useless account representative, 53 customer service representatives and 12 client services managers. All told, over 20 hours of phone time on one shipment - all to no avail. However, less than 6 hours after filing a Better Business Bureau complaint UPS miraculously found this package, now lost for months, and delivered it. As a reward, UPS refunded us 1/3 of the delivery charge.

    Do not use UPS International. I dropped off a package at a UPS Store and followed all of their instructions. I am not an experienced international shipper. After completing all required forms I was charge $190.00 to ship to Tel Aviv. Fair price all things considered. Sent on a Friday, was supposed to be delivered on Monday. I was delivering an emergency package to a family member who was in Tel Aviv from the US for one week only.

    Come Monday, no delivery. UPS was contacted and I was told that the wrong forms were filled out. Fair enough, complete new forms via email and Tuesday delivery confirmed. Well, on Tuesday I called to confirm and was told that although the correct forms were now in hand, they needed a local number to contact the recipient. I advised that as a US traveler, there was no local number. They said they needed one or no delivery. They needed to contact the person to confirm they are real. I ultimately got them to agree to call a local number where my family member would be present. This was done, the call took place, but the recipient was advised that the package would take six days to be delivered. It was already in Tel Aviv at customs. Six days would make the delivery AFTER the recipient leaves. Frustrated, I called UPS and requested that the package be returned.

    I was then told by UPS that because a UPS store shipped it, the store had to request the return and that the package had to be returned to the UPS store. The manager of the store did so and was told that there would be a shipping charge to return the package. The store agreed to absorb that cost. So, now I figure the package will be returned in a few days. No such luck.

    UPS kept trying to deliver the package to my house, despite being told that no one would be there and in disagreement with their own statement that it had to go to the store. This has been going on for a week. Moreover, they are attempting to charge a customs import fee to return my own package. They want $340.00. Overall, UPS wants over $500.00 to not deliver a package.

    I figured that I will go to small claims court to get any money back, but the fine print of their website says that consumers assume all risk and are presumed to know which paperwork to fill out when shipping a package internationally, despite the store being the knowledgeable person who instructed me on what forms to fill out. It has now been over 20 days and the package is still in limbo. I am now 43 minutes on hold with UPS trying to get this straightened out. UPS INTERNATIONAL - NEVER AGAIN!!!!

The website offers subscriptions over and over, but no actual way to resolve anything.

    Now, I am outside their warehouse in the middle of nowhere, and I have learned on the 4 days a week it is open, they close from 12-4:30pm. It's like they are holding my package hostage and they have deliberately removed any customer service options that would assist. Almost all of my shipping has been through FedEx, after using their easy and adaptive services, my guard was down and I did not think this scenario was even possible. I am furious and I can't even complain to the company.

    I am getting tired of the covid excuse. It is here to stay like the flu. Get on with life & business. UPS has got to be the worst shipping company out there. I used to think that of Fedex, but at least they actually deliver a package and on time. My last several packages from UPS have all been lost or seriously delayed. And by lost, I am sure someone just set the box aside because they wanted it (manufacturer box showing contents). I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but it is "lost".

    Why not change your shipping times if you can't make 3 or 4 days. If it will be 5 to 7, step up and say so. Seems the more reliable shipper these days is USPS. That is just a gut punch.

    I wish I could say this was a first-time event, but alas it is not, and because UPS has done this before I won't order from a company or person who uses them ever again. The issue is, I order a product online and put my home as the address to deliver to, and instead of delivering it to my requested address, they drop it off at one of their hubs instead and send me an address where I can go fetch it. The companies I order from never make you aware that this could happen, but when they check with UPS, their response is, it is up to the driver to make the decision of whether he can deliver - for instance, no access to a gated community, a vicious dog, roads blocked, etc. Laziness is not on the list but here we are.

    I do not live in the country or in a locked building, have any stairs or even a gate. I had surgery and can not drive for 4 weeks and on the same day UPS chose not to deliver, Walmart delivered groceries and Uber delivered a meal and I saw Fed Ex deliver to my next-door neighbor, These are companies that take their job and the benefit to the community seriously. As I said, this was the 3rd time this has happened with no explanation. What is the purpose of saying you are a shipping and delivery company if you only deliver halfway and make the customer drive the rest? If you can't deliver to the door that day, why not try the next?

    I used to work as a Package Handler and as a Delivery Driver for UPS back in 2020. I had ordered an iPhone 14 ProMax damn near $1399 plus 90 dollars of tax along with the shipping fee. UPS created the label at 4am on 02/27/2023. When it gets to Minneapolis, MN on 03/01/2023 it says that it's out for delivery and says that it was delivered at 9:16 a.m. I get home and see no package. It required my signature and says that it was signed by someone named "Serge" along the update stating it was delivered to Arden Hills. I don't know anyone by that name nor do I live anywhere near Arden Hills.

    I call UPS and they tell me that it was the correct address when clearly I know either they're lying or clearly can't pay attention to detail or more than likely both. They kept assuring me that it was correct but I refused to believe that due to the status on my tracker stating it was Delivered at 9:16am. About 7pm in the evening, UPS calls and tells me that it was left in their building, I knew then that they're lying because THE TRACKER STATED IT WAS DELIVERED IN ARDEN HILLS (which updates when the label is scanned by either the DIADs or the Scan Ring). UPS is a joke. They lost my package within their building as well and delivered it 3 days after it was supposed to be delivered a day prior. This is the 4th time through my history of orders thru UPS. Never using their services again

About an hour later I called in to check up on the pickup (because I seem to never have anything but bad experiences with UPS!). I was told that pickup would occur by 5 pm. I said that was not what I was told on the online form...the online form said by noon. I requested that it be modified to noon. I was assured by the person on the phone that it had been modified to noon. So, noon comes by and my package is still sitting outside of my house!!!

When I called the UPS Customer Service line to solve the issue, their only solutions were a) I pick up the package myself (in which case, why am I paying them to ship and deliver a package?), or b) the driver attempts delivery again. I opted for picking it up myself because, and I quote, "I do not trust your company to deliver this package."

    UPS is not good. On my first call, I was given incorrect information because his info that didn't match the agents on my other calls to UPS. Things continue to go downhill fast from there. So the first guy told me to go online to track this delivery and also to sign the release of signature. He failed to tell me the number on the notice is not the tracking number (and tracking is what I need). I had to keep working to figure this out because I can not be home to receive this. I will be working. I had to call again and get the number I needed.

    Anyway, I tried to go online to preferences. I want able to select what I think I needed to select. It wasn't an option so off I go, into another cluster-F. I eventually think I figured this out and I think I signed the authorization so packages can be left without my signature. But, to be certain, I called again, the next morning to confirm that I did it correctly. It was so confusing. The first number I called, you cannot reach a human being unless you give (the what they think is) a correct reason for you to speak to their cust service reps. I never was able to dish to a human at this location. Why can't we speak to human beings on a cust service line?? It's craziness. I sent thru so many prompts, answering so their questions but still, no human ever picked up that line. Do, another frustrating waste.

    I ended up finding the number I used the day before. I did reach a human (yay and only after a few prompts) do she could explain the unexplainable (IMO). But here I learned that the UPS site I was given yesterday is not where I can do what I needed to do (and I release this package without signature). Clearly I'm on my own and I figured out the correct website and man, that site confusing. Not a user-friendly website. But, more, problems reared its frustrating head. The number in the darn notice does not list the "tracking number". No, the number in these notices the delivery guy leaves is just a notice number and that ninety cannot be tracked. It's all I had and I believed that was the tracking number. Wrong again.

    So, I called again and I now, I have all I need and I was able to track the shipment. But, no, I learn I actually cannot. They couldn't do it last night because the tracking number was not visible because it's still sitting on a truck at 7 pm. I can't do a thing until it's removed from the truck. So, I asked and was told that I had up until 8 am the next morning (this morning) to call and release this signature nonsense. So I did that and called this morning at 545 or 6 am. But no, too late. The package was already buried on the truck for redelivery today. Any edits I made this morning (like the signature release) cannot even be seen right by these reps away. I have to wait a few hours.

    Now, the next problem is since my package info cannot be seen for several hours, I cannot confirm a darn thing about it. So after all this garbage and wasting of time and massive frustration, I just wanted confirmation I did this signature thing correctly. My guess is, my package will probably remain on the truck, undelivered because I can't be here... everything I was trying to avoid. Will see what happens. After this ** show, I'm not terribly hopeful I will get this new iPhone phone for my girl!!!!

This is a single-family home, on a street with only single-family homes, and the house number is posted in big numbers on the front door, so there is clearly no apartment number needed for delivery.

Instead, employees are instructed to point at the general promotional materials' pricing of mailbox service.

    Similarly, the receipt (for the pre-payment of the next term) issued by this store does not identify the type of service, box number, or the length of term - it just says "Miscellaneous Non-Taxable".

    I ordered a lot of nail products from Ukraine, to have something to work with. So this parcel was going to Canada by Meest corporation. But they can bring it only to Toronto and from there they just send this package by UPS. My package was sended on January 11. Estimated delivery date was January 17 (It looks like they go by bicycle). But ok, doesn't matter, of course my package wasn't delivered. By the way, I called them on January 16 just to check where it should be delivered, 'cause on their website wasn't any information, only "Calgary AB". They check an address and told me "no worries, it gonna be delivered in time". So I called them on January 17th at 6p.m. (they work to 7) and asked about my package, because I was fully booked for next day. They told me "your package is out for delivery today, so you should receive today or tomorrow".

    In next day there wasn't estimated delivery time on their website. So I called them again and get exactly the same answer "it's out for delivery today". So in third day I was already very angry and I started understand that they just lie to me to take some time. I called them a few times this day and finally some girl told me that I can make a claim and then they will find and bring my package urgently. I didn't want to do this, but I made this claim. Next day in the afternoon I called them again. And they told me "oh, it's not true, it was a mistake, your investigation will take 8 business days" tadadada... I asked to cancel this claim and just bring my package, but she told me that the best way for me is just wait. So then I directly asked if they lost this package, and only then they said "yes".

    Ok... After 5 days I got the e-mail that my investigation was closed. I finally feld myself a little better. I called to this familiar number and asked "does it mean that you found my package?" They said "yes, but we need around 3 days to make some paperwork and we need to contact a shipper for additional information." Next day I contacted Meest corporation by myself and asked if they already provided this information. Meest told me that they will contact UPS right now and then call me back.

    I got this call after 15-20 min and they told me that they gave all the information that they had, but if I know what exactly is in my package I can contact UPS and maybe it gonna help. I called UPS again to provide an information, but they just told me that somebody will contact me today to add this information to my claim. Of course nobody called me and estimated delivery day wasn't provided. So today I called them again. Aaand.... They told me "It was some mistake, this investigation wasn't closed, it still opened. So you have to wait 2 days more". Honestly, this is a most horrible delivery service I ever had. Please, save your mental health, time and money - DON'T USE UPS.

    They take zero responsibility. Packages often get delivered to the wrong door at apartments so in attempt to PREVENT THIS - when notified UPS was approaching, I went outside to make sure they came to the correct door ($200 Nike's). I never saw the UPS truck yet received a “delivered” update AS I STOOD OUTSIDE WAITING! I immediately contacted UPS and long story short - I had to take it up with NIKE.

    Again this week: tracking info says “out for delivery by 7pm”, never arrives, tracking info updates to “processing at facility” - every day it’s “Out for delivery” then doesn’t arrive. YET UPS will never label your package as LOST and will never contact you offering an explanation or solution. It’s up to ME to contact UPS and they have ZERO customer service. They always direct you to “take it up with the seller”. $90 personalized engraved item and now I have to reorder and wait AGAIN and seller ships UPS AGAIN. UPS doesn’t even refund the shipping fee when they don’t provide the shipping service! ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY.

Christmas arrives I find out the package was never delivered it was just, marked delivered by the driver Kids never got their gifts so I go to the location and open a case I am waiting patiently I call into the store to check the status on the 13 of January to find out UPS closed the case without telling the store or myself why. I reopen the case the same day.

    Only to call the store on the 25th of January to find out UPS stated they spoke to my son and he stated he received the package but when UPS called him. He was with his mother and her sister and they both heard him tell the associate no the package never arrived. I have called the store. I call UPS and get through to no one.

    UPS knows that when rain or snow is in the forecast, they bag your package. Amazon has yet to figure how train their drivers on common courtesies like this hence the many packages I have come home to that are wet. Unfortunately, unless the items inside are damaged by the rain and needs returned, there is no real way to bring this to their attention. UPS drivers smile and speak nicely. Amazon drivers seem to lack confidence in interacting with the customer or maybe are not trained to care about how their company is perceived.

    UPS unilaterally created a five hour delivery window for a parcel, clearly implying that I must be present tomorrow for those five hours for a delivery to take place. But wait. I can "change delivery" online or by telephone. Nope. Not a chance. The UPS automated systems:

    1) do not recognize my carefully written-down log-in data;
    2) will not let me change my log-in data because I already have an "account; and

    3) won't change the delivery on the telephone because the Automated Voice Response System erroneously hears or reads my spoken and typed input (I tried each way four times) of the Tracking Number as beginning with "1ZZ" instead of "1Z", thus cutting off the last character of the Tracking Number: "Sorry, I do not recognize that Tracking Number."

    And from the last four UPS deliveries, whether I am home from 2 - 7 PM tomorrow or not, they will leave a notice IN THE MAILBOX that I was not there and must drive to the local drugstore to pick up my package from the mound of packages they dump there every day per the clerk in the store and according to what I see each time - dozens of boxes NOT DELIVERED.

    I wish there was more transparency on which company is delivering our packages. If I know it's coming from DHL or UPS I'd just order from another source (whenever possible). The biggest lose was a few years a they lost a custom-made costume mask I ordered from Canada and they refused to acknowledge the driver delivered to the wrong address if it was delivered at all. It's happened again a couple times since them so now, for items not easy refunded (like Amazon purchases), I usually have sent to my work so I have cameras and mailroom workers to back the missing shipment claim. Another issue is the passing off of deliveries. UPS marks packages as delivered when all they did was pass it off to the USPS or other carriers which puts them in limbo with no expected delivery date.

    I have shipped through this UPS Store MANY times over the years and previously they did an exceptional job. However on 12/29 at 8:20am I shipped a package two-day and it arrived 1/3 at 2:17pm. My calculations say that's four and a half days. I shipped my package with Alan who was very attentive to the shipping process. He however did not inform me there would be no deliveries on both Sunday (1/1) and Monday (1/2). With all the holiday and weather concerns I am completely understanding for the shipment being delayed but I was not explained there would be a two and a half day delay with deliveries. I feel as though I could have used standard Ground shipping (saved quite a bit of money) and my package would have gotten there in the same time...or thereabouts.

    I spoke to Pauline who I was told was the store manager and she said there was nothing they can do for a credit because two day shipments were not guaranteed. I explained the entire story about how my package was delivered two times longer that expected, but received nothing other than an "I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do. You should have read the electronic screen more carefully." I called two days later and Pauline said she spoke to their district manager who said the same thing. I just wanted to write my experience for anyone who wishes to have their packages delivered. THE DELIVERY DATES ARE NOT ACCURATE.

    In Seattle, anyway, the package might take two to four days to get to Seattle, which is fine and is as-advertised, but then it takes an additional two to three days to travel around the Seattle area to get to your house. Now explain that disorganization. Lands in Redmond, goes to Tukwila, then transferred to the USPS. I mean, gee whiz.

    I don't think they actually have the best people designing transfers. This not only delays the package, but requires more of their people hours doing all this double and triple work. But this has been going on for decades. I would imagine whomever is sitting in the seat responsible for this would have a "great" explanation, but that's what's called the fixed mindset - an inability to see their way is inferior.

To top it off we still don't have an updated date of delivery. Their website tracking skews the tracking status to not show previous "out for delivery" dates.

UPS makes their own schedules as convenient for them and expect you to sit and wait all day for them to show up as it works for them.

    On upon checking their website and tracking the package, I discovered that the third delivery was scheduled for 12/20! And that is after two prior phone confirmations for 12/24. Once again, I was reassured that I will get my package on 12/24, delivered to my house. On the 24th I was under house arrest all day waiting for the delivery as schedule and confirmed by 3 call center reps. And it never happened!!!

Talking to that rep was like taking to a brick wall, which at the end wished me Happy Holidays.

    UPS was supposed to deliver a package to my apartment. Instead of bringing it to the door, they marked it as being delivered to a "locker," despite the fact there no locker to accept delivery of my packages. They clearly misrepresent the status of the delivery on the "delivery confirmation," probably so they can avoid responsibility for dealing with the terrible service. To add to the issues, you cannot speak with a customer service representative, and the automated system will literally hang up on you if you continue to request to speak with someone. So then you have to go online to submit a claim but their claim system doesn't even allow you to make a claim for all of the lost items. My package had six items in it, but I could only make a claim for three. I tried to resubmit a second claim with the additional items, but it said a claim was already pending.

I've complained to customer service and they pretty much didn't care and blocked me from sending more emails because I told them they have drivers that lie and too lazy to actually walk to your apartment. They even tried to say once that it was a signature required package and it was not. Then they said it was for security of package to not leave at my door. I live inside a locked building that they have the code for to get in. Never once has there been a problem with packages here. It always seems to happen to my packages that are scheduled on a Friday. Hmmm I can't even tell them to deliver it to a closer location either without paying to be able to.

    You'd think the fact that I paid them to ship my product would at least include that courtesy. I have a lot of things shipped and so far I've been able to change about half of my shipments I get from various companies to other shippers. Usually Fed ex so that's been a lot nicer and less stress. Some of my packages are needed within a certain time frame and I plan for it but still doesn't make it half the time. So now it's Friday and I have to wait till the end of the day Monday to drive way further than I need to as there is a ups store a block away from me. So this just gave me the incentive to start back up with changing the shipper with the remaining companies I order from.

They file a trace and never get back to you. When you call to follow up, they tell you to file a claim. Our packages are not replaceable and this is not a solution. I've spent hours looking up UPS warehouse numbers due to the fact that customer service won't provide them. On several occasions, I was able to obtain the phone numbers and call the warehouses direct and have an employee physically look for my package.

    A few times, they were able to find them sitting in an unattended area. I am basically doing the trace department's job. I am on the 9th lost package today and was able to get ahold of a random hub warehouse. They show my package sitting at another warehouse and it has not moved 2 days.

    Soo, I used UPS thinking they would offer a premium service, based on the +$50 I paid compared to other shipping companies. And turns out I just threw $50 in the garbage. There's no customer service, you'll be talking to a stupid auto-reply that will NEVER connect you to a real agent. She'll tell you "sorry, I didn't catch that" when you ask for a representative. I wasn't home when they tried the delivery, because they don't give you a time frame. All they say is this day by 9:00pm. Obviously I'm not going to wait at home all day long?? And when I ask to pick up instead of delivery, they asked for $12!! Like I didn't pay enough money for your bad service already???. I am never ever using UPS again, I don't even know how they are still in the business.

    A warning about using UPS, the worst shipping company on earth that is losing ground everyday. My package was supposed to be delivered on 11/29/22. The driver lied and said that I was not home which is not true. Well the driver chose to leave my package at a UPS pickup point instead of attempting delivery the next day without my consent. On 11/30/22 I went to the designated UPS pickup point and to my surprise the package was not there. I called the customer service who gave me no concrete answer and promised to call me back. Later I got a call from a rude UPS dispatcher called me from (**) saying that the package is on its way to the pickup point and I just have to wait. On 12/122, I went to pickup my package again but it was not there again. After spending 45min on the phone, I was told to file a claim and wait!!!!

    During peak delivery seasons, they continue to not deliver on time and will make up excuses such as “Sorry we missed you” when someone was home all the while. Appears that they’ve gotten so big customer satisfaction is not a priority.

    Their tracking is bad. You cannot see each place your item is scanned. Trying to log in is a nightmare. It never accepts my password. Each time I have to get a new one. Then when I do get in , it still does not show where my item has been scanned along the way. Waste of time and effort. I have a package that was to be delivered a month ago still shows running late. Do you think anyone would have let me know what happened with it. Never heard anything from them. Drivers are to deliver to my front porch. I leave my gate open so they can do that.

    Then I find my items leaning on my open gate right next to the street, where anybody can load them in their car and be gone. What is the use of setting up where to deliver if the driver pays no attention. The post office use to be the worst delivery service, but now UPS is trying to take that distinction from them. I have no idea why the number 1 delivery service is striving to go to the worst, but they are doing a good job of it.

    My package was stolen not from my residence but from the UPS hub in Commerce City Colorado. Make It make sense that my package has been back and forth to Texas four times in one week. Then to make it worse no one will help. Everyone you talk to act as though you are just overreacting. Every time a delivery is scheduled, on that day the package has been mysteriously resorted and rerouted to another state. After numerous attempts to talk to a person about this you are told nothing. Customer service is zero. Needless to say I still haven't received my package.

    After receiving an original delivery date and time 11/26 between 2p-6p they attempted to deliver at 11:43a which would have been fine had I been home! So naturally they scheduled a 2nd attempt for 11/28 before 9pm. I received an automated text stating on 11/27 that my package had been rescheduled for 11/29 between 2p-6p. I reached out to customer service only to be mocked and laughed at. I then asked to speak with a supervisor only to be put on hold and then hung up on! This is NOT customer service!!

    This morning the driver attempted to deliver my package that requires signature for delivery but he did not even knock my door, he just left a note. Only 16 minutes later after his attempt, I called UPS customer service and they said my package will be delivered in 2 hours. Every two hours or less, I called UPS customer service (I called 9 times in total). Every time they said it will be delivered in two hours or less. However, on my 9th call the customer service said the branch was closed and it will be delivered on Monday. The package was urgent. You screwed everything up.

    Your customer representatives are all liar. They all said we left a note to the driver, however the 9th representative said no one dropped a note before. Based on my experience today, Im sure that UPS hires representatives that do not even care the seriousness of their job and they are all careless. This is the last time of using UPS for me.

    Said my address was wrong; tldr it wasn’t and they cannot use their own software so get wrecked, pay is more to get your delivery. I went to their system to correct the “address issue,” it showed my address correctly. I didn’t save anything, got out and tried again, and guess what? Still correct, so I call them confused as to what the issue was. They lie to me and tell me the shipper didn’t print the address correctly. I say, "That’s strange, I checked my emails and they had it correct in the email they sent me about my purchase." (a Mac book pro… so not something to be sitting around). They said it didn’t have the apartment number on it. I countered, "That’s weird, it has it in your system," so why didn’t he just check the system if it wasn’t on our label and they told me something amazing:

    "If it doesn’t have an apartment number and it is going to a complex; they tell their driver (As a Policy) don’t deliver." I asked, "What if a complex doesn’t have apartment numbers; like my previous apartment," and she said, "Then we don’t deliver." I attempt to explain, "My apartment complex is a group of self-contained buildings with their own locks on each front door and their own mail spot inside of each apartment door. This is where the driver always leaves packages and there are only 11 apartments in each building, I authorize them to leave it there." "Nope, we won’t do that, the shipper has to correct it." "Why?" "Because we aren’t allowed to correct it…" "Then why did you send an address correction to me, if I can’t correct it and you can’t." "Policy…" "Okay, so are you contacting the shipper?" No, they will not, the customer has to do it.

    I realize the futileness of dealing with them further, so I request to pick it up from the warehouse they returned it to, since I specifically ordered the delivery for days I would be home from work, now they are saying my package will be delivered Monday at the earliest when I will be at work. A pickup will cost you $7. Are you crazy? You have it in your system the correct address, you said it was, and your driver didn’t look at the system, returned it, and now I have to pay you to save you money, not delivering it again. Policy is you owe us to pick up a package.

    I contacted shipper, they corrected, verified they had given correct address, verified UPS printed the label not shipper, and asked UPS for a waiver of pick up fee so I could just get it since they verified when talking to their business contact it was a UPS error that this wasn’t delivered… "No, policy is to charge, we will not waive even though shipper sends hundreds of thousands of parcels through them." "Okay, have driver complete delivery, no, policy is bring it back print new label then send out for shipment. Can you just have the driver deliver it?" No!

    I call back UPS. After 40 minutes of fighting with their computer system that just hangs up on you randomly when you just want to speak to someone, I use multiple tricks from the internet to get ahold of someone… Their it department is working overtime to ensure every trick is stamped out and it is impossible to talk to someone… and they are using a call center in India anyway.

    I finally get someone and I am just trying to get a good delivery time, so I can maybe go in late or come back early. "No, we have a window." "Could you make my package the first delivery, it was your fault this didn’t deliver." "No, it wasn’t our fault the address was not correct in our system, shipper messed up." "That’s a lie. the person I spoke with last time said it was in your system. I saw it in your system, shipper saw it in your system." "Nope that never happened."

    "We can call shipper right now. I have their customer service line and the shipping agent's name and extension." "No, won’t talk to them, they messed up." "Then make my package last in the day so I can come home and my laptop isn’t sitting around." "No, can’t do that." "We guarantee it will deliver Monday, sure it will." We shall see Monday, but I highly doubt it. DO NOT USE this company. If I could give less than 1 I would, they deserve less. My only solace is that Amazon and gen z will eventually destroy this monstrosity.

    UPS offers this overnight service. I had medication that has been sent through UPS several times. One time, they completely lost my medication. Until today, they still haven't found it. I have two critical medications I have to have so they're overnighted. This is the second time that I'm not getting my medication on time and nobody knows where it is. So UPS needs to quit offering this service because they're defrauding people. And when it comes to stuff like medication that people have to have, you put people in a bad spot.

    This company used to be my go-to for shipping needs but not anymore. 3 times in a row they have fallen down and showed absolutely no interest in my needs as a customer. It's now to the point where their call center, which is known for expansive phone trees, now refuses to let you reach an operator. The message actually tells you that! If you don't guess correctly at each step there is no option to reach a human. They will let you email them but no one responds. The only way I got a response in through the Better Business Bureau.

    My latest issue is they refused to deliver my package unless someone is there to sign for it. Sounds great until you realize they give no time when they will be there. They do seem to care that some people still work and cannot take the day off to sit around the house and wait for their delivery truck. There is absolutely no way to change the delivery or request a change. They say there is but that in only through a phone call (see above) or an online portal that doesn't work. The only way they will change is if we as customers push our purchases to be delivered by the competition. Fed Ex was more than happy to deliver my package.

    Terrible delivery service. I paid to request a delivery time change because I would not be available on the delivery date. That was ignored, the delivery came to my building, handed it off to someone in my apartment building I don't know, allowed them to sign off on it, and just left a note on my mailbox. That person never left a note for me so I don't know who has my package. Now I don't have my items, and I lost money for my ignored delivery time change request. This isn't the first time a seller used UPS to send my package, and I've had a horrible experience every time, so much so that I stopped ordering from those sellers once they switched to UPS. The first time, they just left a note at my previous residence, telling me to go pick up the package at a UPS center an hour away.

    Moved here from WA last year. The UPS service in Reno vs Vancouver are night and day. In Reno, every single pkg delivered has not followed the simple instructions on address label. "Put in lockbox: code ____". It would take 10 seconds! In Vancouver I received all packages without one single hiccup in 6 yrs. Here in Reno for less than one year and it has become almost like a tragic comedy. I installed a lockbox because when I first moved here, pkgs were getting stolen. I have taken all their steps and jumped through their hoops in trying to fix this.

    Now I'm working with the company that uses UPS to use someone else. It's medicine for my dog and so it's VERY important that I get these. I even spoke with a driver that was here delivering, and told him the code and he wrote it in a notepad... Before deliveries, I've talked to customer service reps via chat, email, (and tried calling the phone # which was hilariously inefficient!). They all promised this would not happen again.

    Hello -- I moved some items from NJ to GA. Plants were shipped (by a friend, with my monies) using UPS. One large plant was not packaged correctly and was destroyed as was the box. I paid extra to treat it as fragile. And I do have images to support this claim and reflect the extensive damage to the box and plant and also reflects the store did not package the plant correctly as this was not a prepackaged item.

    The requested resolution: I paid a total of $190 to ship the plant and I am requesting a full refund to MY CARD. The value of the plant and planter which you can see via images was also broken is $172. You may find a reference point for that cost and the retailer I use for plants via The Sill. I've tried contacting the store 6x by phone and 3x by email. The Store Manager (Jerry in NJ) informed my friend to have me send an email -- which I did - but I have not heard anything. I'm looking for an immediate resolution via refund totaling $190 (shipping) + $172 (the plant). I've been waiting for over 6 weeks for a resolution and definitely a call back from the store that was utilized in NJ.

I phoned back to them and get the correction service. UPS over charge $6 dollars on the service and I asked them the reason. This company did tons of charges on top of each of the packages. They told me that it is a phone payment service charge. I asked them why their co-worker did not mention the service charge on top. I asked them if this is the reason their online service wasn't working. They couldn't give me the right answer.

    The worker told me, "You can contact them for next time service and provide the reason to get the money back." Do you think I will trust them? I tried to make a complaint to their service manager, but the worker didn't want to provide the name of the manager for security reasons. The worker told me there is someone who will call me back within two hours. Of course, I don't think they will call back to solve the problem. I just share my bad experience with this company.

Yet, the UPS delivery people don't feel that they should follow a simple request such as taking a minute to ring a doorbell and so they just drop the boxes and leave. Half the time I think it's because the boxe(s) have been damaged and there's hole(s) in them and they don't want to be confronted.

    I have had various problems with UPS for years, but this last one is the straw. I ordered a part for my broken dishwasher from a great company that ships same day. I placed the order on Thursday (09/29/2022) and the company shipped it out that same day. Unfortunately, they used UPS instead of FedEx. On Friday (09/30) the package showed in transit to UPS facility in New Castle, DE. I live in Dover, DE. On Saturday (10/01/2022) the tracking info on UPS' site showed Received at 6:13am, Processing at 6:18am, and Out For Delivery at 9:18am, with a delivery time before 7pm.

    I took my dishwasher apart so that I could install the part as soon as it arrived. Unfortunately, the part did not arrive at all yesterday. As of 11pm, it was still showing as Out For Delivery by 7pm. This morning, I checked and no part. The tracking info on the UPS had been changed from Out For Delivery to On The Way with a new delivery date of tomorrow (Monday 10/03/2022) by 6pm.

    I called UPS and the rep was less than helpful, giving me all the information that I had already seen for myself on the site. I had to keep telling him that it was showing as Out For Delivery yesterday and the info had simply been changed by UPS. He said it was not possible to just change the information in the computer. I said that it obviously could be because it was. I received no message of delay or any update whatsoever, although I have a UPS account and all updates are supposed to be texted to me. He kept apologizing (which was useless) and said someone would call me tomorrow (which is even more useless), and now I have to put my dishwasher back together again until tomorrow. I have told the company I ordered the part from to always use FedEx and never UPS.

    In the past, UPS is notorious for leaving my packages at my neighbor's house when my house number is prominent on the front of my house. On one of these multiple occasions, we had to move multiple packages one day that contained patio furniture from next door to our own yard. The next time was to move a box with a birdbath inside. These boxes were very heavy. This last blunder is just the cherry on top of a dysfunctional sundae. If you are a business reading this, and you care about your customers, do not ship via UPS. Correct delivery is the exception to their rule of incompetence.

    Terrible service, first delivery was damaged. Second delivery, I watched the UPS driver go by my house and I called ups and demanded my package to be delivered because I knew it was on the truck. He dropped it off in my yard 830pm. 10 feet away from road, 30 feet away from my door. When I called ups he said he dropped it off at my door. My house did not move that close to road.

    Spent over an hour on the phone with at least 5 people, 3 of them transferred me right back to the same customer service line. Last person put me on hold and never returned. Customer service is basically non-existent, all the agents can do is look up tracking. You will receive no help whatsoever. UPS rounds up or down your payment on your shipping receipts. They put incorrect payment amounts on their own receipts. Worst customer service people and service I have ever experienced, a real shame.

    The worse! Driver lies! Both in Lanham and District Heights, MD. Consistently have problems with Saturday signature required deliveries that are with UPS. On more than one occasion, the driver has claimed he attempted delivery. He lies, I have a camera on my house. Have reported to management no one does anything about the problem. When something happens several times it is an issue and a pattern, not an exception. UPS doesn’t care about customers time. Management is pointless, they clearly encourage lying. Will never use a vendor that uses UPS.

    Ups delivery service is garbage. Driver knocked like 2 year old child. Claim delivery attempted. Camera shows entire incident on both days. Delivery said 12 noon delivery. Waited all morning. Nothing. then email with attempt made. Called and promised call back... nothing again. I'm sure they get it right sometimes but when they get it wrong it sucks.

    I scheduled a pickup, purchased a prepaid label, and airmail service for an important package. They charged me heavily for the service and then never picked up the package. I have spoken to customer support numerous times (after having to fight my way through their automated service), and they have been less than helpful. They would immediately try to push me to file a claim even though I told them the website would not allow me to file a claim. They all got testy with me and refused to help me.

    Previously, we have had good experiences with UPS. However, we're very frustrated with the current service: 1) They scheduled a Shipping date when we were not present (which is understandable). 2) Made no effort to leave the package at our next door neighbor's house (they were home) when we had given them and UPS authorization to do so (including signing authorization). 3) Rather than attempting another delivery, the slip on our door notified us that the package would be delivered to a UPS location far away from our house (more than a 20 minute drive, even though there's a UPS store three blocks from our house).

    4) On the website we selected an alternative to re-deliver to the original location (which we presumed was our house). We chose that option. Later we received a notice that the package was returned to the sender because we took too long to pick it up from the remote location. Summary: Extreme recent decline in UPS shipping experience.

    I'm an avid online shopper so I've dealt with UPS for years. I travel often so sometimes I deal with UPS overseas and it's just as bad as it is in the United States. For now let's focus on the USA. First off, don't waste your time calling the customer service hotline because you won't go anywhere. The automated system is so flawed that you'll go in circles just to get cut off at the end. Secondly, customer service representatives tell you they will communicate with individuals involved with your delivery but it NEVER works out. I literally have to deal with this EVERY time I get something shipped via UPS.

    They have my address listed as a business even though it's a home so I don't have the option to pick up packages from the distribution center. Which takes me to the next ridiculous issue. Get this, the center is only open from 8am-noon and from 7-8pm. Seems like they cater to people that either don't work or work a graveyard shift. If you have the option to choose a shipping company I would recommend you steer away from UPS. I always opt in for USPS or FedEx; maybe even DHL. I'll take anyone else over this company ANY day!

    After dropping a mini-split heat pump unit from at least 6 feet, UPS claims department denied the claim twice, because there was not "a box maker's seal" on the strapped, sturdy, foam-packed factory shipping container. I got the professional runaround treatment for at least three hours of phone calls, over 2 days. "We tried calling you yesterday.." "You didn't provide sufficient photos", "my manager is out. I'll have them call you later", etcetera. Only after finally getting a manager on the phone, and politely asking for the address of the legal affairs department for a subpoena, did I get the claim resolved. Every person I spoke to was clearly offshore. It was very clear to me that UPS is paying offshore call centers to give the runaround for long enough that their customers eventually give up on claims. I guess someone determined that was cheaper than taking responsibility for destroying packages.

    Made an international shipment from Pennsylvania to Paris France. Price was hefty - $301 for a 5 lb box. Took over a week to deliver then I got a message saying that they could not deliver because import fees of EUR 398(!!!) was due from the recipient! This was not indicated during shipment and furthermore the import duties would be about 90% the value of the goods! Of course I bounced around several 800 customer numbers before I found someone to just start the process to send the box back to me. DO NOT USE UPS FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS! It’s not value added in terms of cost, transparency and expedience. Never again!

Amazon will call you directly when they arrive if they need to access the property. Even the USPS never have a problem. Their live map is infuriating and only shows you they are within a block of you and still hours late, telling you it may be there by 9pm. Do not allow retailers to use UPS and complain if they try.

That delayed my appointment and cost me another long (125 mile) trip to that city. That was another $35 dollars out of my pocket all because a UPS driver was too lazy to deliver on time.

    I signed up with an account on UPS and made a shipping label to ship my TV on July 8th 2022. I shipped the $2,150 LG CX 55" OLED TV with UPS 350 km from Burns Lake BC to Terrace BC. I paid $192.71 for shipping. I asked for the item to be signed on pick up and delivery. I claimed item at $1,600. I claimed that amount because the TV was just over a year old and was sent away on a warranty panel replace. On July 12th I got a knock on the door. I yelled "I'll be right there". Before I could walk 10 feet to the door he was in his van driving away. No signature as I requested. The TV was on its side leaning against my house in the rain and not under cover.

    I looked at the box, it had a big hole in the front facing up and rain getting inside. If I wasn't home it would have been ruined. I took the TV inside and took it out of the box. The TV panel had a huge scratch right in the center of the TV. Was right down to the metal to the back of the TV. I went online and made a claim with UPS. They picked up the TV on July 19th to be inspected. They sent it 1,300km away to Richmond BC and billed me $742.64 to do it. 17 useless phone calls later I got nowhere with UPS billing to get my money back.

    My claim was approved. The UPS website says there is nothing more I need to do. I wait... Aug 5th no word from UPS. So I make a complaint with BBB. UPS corporate gets in touch with me. They ask me to fill in the "request for payment " form they sent in the mail. I fill it out and email it back. The next day I get an email from UPS corporate that my claim has been denied.

    Reason... I didn't read the policy that when you ship a TV through UPS and don't get a pre approval, they are not responsible for loss or damage. I had no idea. Nor do most of the public who ship with UPS. Nothing is covered unless you have it pre approved before shipping. There is no mention of this on the UPS website page on "how to ship a TV" Even a search for "how to get a pre-approval to ship a TV" in the search bar on the UPS site says "no results found". Now I am out a $2,150 TV and almost $700 in shipping costs. UPS is the worst company I have ever dealt with.

    UPS made also fraud and made tremendous disaster to me in 2016. When I cancelled delivery of item which I didn't order and for which my credit card was fraudulently charged $300, UPS ignored my cancelation and delivered it, left it to neighbors who signed. And the main trouble was that I received message about delivery just when was talking with USA Supreme Court about the main case of all my life, case about tremendous and unprecedented crime and tragedy and extremely severe injuries made to me by corrupted NYC officials. I lost this case and many millions dollars compensation, lost because of UPS.

    I have a successful eBay business and have always used USPS for shipping to my customers worldwide. I recently had to ship a large item that I have not sold before. I decided to give UPS a try and had them pack and ship my item within the US. This should have been very straightforward. The clerk at the UPS store packed the item well and wrote clearly on the box "DO NOT BEND". The package was bent in transit and delivered to my customer damaged. My customer had to refuse delivery 2 or 3 times before UPS returned the package to me.

    I then had to file a claim and UPS picked the package back up from me. It has now been with their warehouse for inspection for weeks. I refunded my customer over $100 in good faith and am still awaiting a refund and return of my damaged merchandise. I have followed up by phone 3 or 4 times and it is very difficult to work around the automated system to reach an actual person. I have been told repeatedly that someone will call me back but no one ever does. I am on hold with them again this morning. I would caution anyone in business to avoid UPS. I also posted a complaint via Twitter and they publicly assured me that they would help me if I sent them a private message. I did and have never had any follow up from UPS.

When the item arrived I was told that there was an additional $107 brokerage fee for them to give it to me. The fee breaks down to $27 HST (customs tax) and then the remaining free ($80) is pocketed by UPS, in addition to the shipping fee that they were originally paid. That an additional 32%. I have no idea how this is legal..

    I've been told that there is a way around this where you 'self clear' your package though CBSA, which I can now trying to do. However UPS needs to send you a commercial invoice to proceed. I've called and spoken on the phone with four different ups employees in the last day or so, the first two said that would be emailed to me in 2 hours, and the other two employees said it takes 24hrs.. to send an email...

    I had a very important package being delivered to me via UPS. The shipping was NOT my choice. UPS originally said they would ship on a Monday before 7pm. Very vague, and I had to work so I asked my mother to hang around my house. Never showed, then at 8pm was told it was rescheduled for Tuesday before 7pm. Vague once again, but I spent my entire day off at home in anticipation of this package. Couldn't do any errands or shopping for the house. Once again, at 8pm at night get told it's rescheduled. Mind you, they offered me to track the truck and it was within a mile of my home on SEVERAL occasions over the two days.

    The package I'm waiting for is fragile and temperature sensitive. The update I get Wednesday morning is that the package will ship between 5:30pm and 8PM. I figure, wow, finally a REAL update. I make sure I have my girlfriend coming over at 4:30pm to be home for the package. At 2PM I get notified that the package failed to ship because a signer was not present. I am absolutely livid and if there's any damage to my package I will follow up with legal action. The disregard for someone's time here is appalling. I will NEVER recommend UPS and I truly hope they go bankrupt treating people like this. Now, I have to go two miles from my house to pick up a package at a tire store and I have NO IDEA how it's being treated between 3 different trucks and tire technicians.
