    Unbeknownst to me, from the day of shipping 5/27 (Wichita, KS) to the day of delivery in Tuscon, AZ, on 6/1, the receiver had moved. The package got to Tuscon, AZ on the sixth day. From there on they tried to deliver it 3x to the same un-deliverable address! Are they stupid?! If UPS can see the business moved, why go back 2 more times? I'm sure the business owner left his new address on the door! UPS TRIES absolutely NOTHING to find the receiver, who moved inside the same zip-code! I contacted the UPS agent who packed and shipped my 3 pound item for $53.97. He says there is nothing he can do and "You are lucky they haven't sent it back yet".

    Then I talked to someone at UPS help line (finally got through on their tedious phone system) and gave them the old and new address and tracking#. It was decided to hold the package at the Main UPS site in Tuscon for the receiver to pick it up because for some weird reason UPS "can't" deliver the package to the new address....Seriously, the business owner/receiver didn't change their name, just the address.

    I have been in contact almost daily with the receiver to update them on this fiasco. Oh, and try, just try to get in contact with a real person who speaks understandable English. It will take hours of your life with many "dropped calls". Fifteen days later the package is now 4 days "on hold" until the business/receiver decides to pick it up, which I highly doubt they will. (A 21 mile round-trip for the receiver) After 4 days UPS supposedly will send it back to me. I could have driven it myself over there, three times over, all 1050 miles or 17 hours. What a waste of $ and time! If I could leave less than one star rating, I would.

    I've been tracking my package since Saturday 6/6 it is now the 11th and I work 7p-7a at a hospital so coming home and not sleeping trying to wait for it is very annoying. You can follow the truck that has your package on their website and watch it with the GPS. They are very unorganized and keep passing my house going back and forth as if they had no route to follow. They must be grabbing a package behind them on the truck then googling the address and then going to it. I've also found the truck sitting in 1 spot for 2.5 hours then moving again. Must be one hell of a lunch break. Unfortunately I have to give them 1 star even though they deserve a 0. I have to sign for it so I am forced to wait since their online sign for a package is not working.

    I paid $40 to have an emergency medical disc delivered to a hospital in the same state the next day. UPS lost it. The disc has still not been delivered and it is 6 days later! Now they say they are not responsible because their money back guarantee is not valid due to COVID. My sister was rushed to hospital because the hospital did not get that disc. UPS store did not care at all. **

    Horrendous service with horrible customer support. I dropped my package in a UPS dropbox in Austin, the package had very valuable, time-sensitive lab-test materials that took 2 days to prepare. I kept tracking it everyday, no updates on the system. I called UPS and after staying on hold forever, I was told that I should file a claim if the package is still not showing up after 10 days. 10 days later, I called and it was a freaking waste of around 2hrs over the phone. One person connected me to another 4 or 5 times, each separated by a lovely 20-25mins of hold time. At the end, I'm told that I cannot file an investigation or a claim because the "return label was created over 60 days ago" and they cannot confirm that I dropped the package. Total bull and circular arguments, of course they can't confirm that I dropped it.. That's why it's lost. And why does it matter when the return label was created.

    Not only can't they secure their drop boxes, they also can't provide basic customer support for lost packages. DO NOT EVER use their drop boxes, unless you want to donate your package. And it's not only me, read the google reviews for any UPS dropbox, so many clients lost their packages there. NEVER going to use UPS again after that disappointing experience.

    I ordered a dress from Macy's for my mom's funeral. I ordered it 4 weeks before her death. The first package was delivered to the wrong address. The second reordered dress was on the truck two days before the funeral and was on my street. But got a text they could not deliver due to severe weather on a dry day. I tracked it from my street to Kansas. Then the next day expected delivery we stopped the truck the driver said that he had it on the truck but couldn't get to it. But he had a delivery of 11 packages and would make sure he got it to me that day on Saturday. No delivery on Sunday. Mom's funeral was Monday at 1pm, the package was delivered at 5:21 pm. I will go out of my way to not use UPS again.!!!

    I am a UPS Choice customer; I put in a request for a delivery hold on my packages because I was going to be out of town for a week. I was charged a fee for holding a delivery yet my package was delivered to my front door anyway. I am still out of town so a package will be sitting on my front porch until I return. I called UPS to request a refund on the charge since they did not actually provide me with the service I had requested. I was routed through 3 different departments and spent over 40 minutes on the phone in order to get a $5 credit. I would like to say this is unusual but I have never had a good experience when I have had to call customer service, which is unfortunately a somewhat frequent occurrence. I will never use them to ship anything but cannot control what others use to ship items to me. A frustrating experience, as usual. If it was an option to give zero stars, I would.

    Most frustrating experience ever dealing with this company. I received 3 separate out for delivery notifications for my package over a week and a half only to never receive it. Called to figure out what’s going on and was fed a line about 1-4 day delays. Demanded to speak to management as it had already been 10 days. They couldn’t even locate my package. She says she will get back to me, she did... 6 days later only to tell me that it’s now in my city but won’t be processed for another week. My package will be a month late by this point... if it ever even gets here. They were sure to charge me duty on my package weeks ago yet can’t be bothered to actually deliver it. Their staff is so condescending to deal with as well. Every other delivery company is managing to get packages delivered in a timely fashion. A month late is not ok.

    In my neighborhood near Oakland, CA, UPS has developed a reputation for delivery hijinx. For a number of years, I have been receiving packages and delivery notifications via UPS and most times (90%) I receive an email notification that the package was delivered and signed for. While the package was simply left on the porch while I was at home (I work from home), there was no ringing of the doorbell, and certainly there was no signature. Where I come from, the email telling me that the package was signed for is considered a blatant lie.

    A few months ago, I was alerted to a delivery to my home address the next day. The package did not arrive. The following day, I received notice that my package could be picked up the next day at my local Walgreens on the next day, a strange and unexpected twist, to which I dutifully drove on the day following the stated delivery date (at that time it wasn't urgent and I wanted to be sure I did not check too early), only to learn that the package had never arrived at the prescribed (by UPS, not me) Walgreens delivery point despite the UPS email telling me the package had actually been delivered to there!

    The Walgreens delivery point clerk informed me that my experience was not uncommon at all, every day there were customer package pickups just like mine; apparently, sometimes the parcels got delivered to the other Walgreens in town and others simply were marked as delivered in the afternoon even though they weren't and then the driver would drop them off at 9 pm or first thing the next morning. Inexplicably, my package was to my residence (no doorbell or signature) the next day, which was 5 days after the original promised delivery date.

    This saga of broken promises continues. The last 5 or more UPS deliveries have all been promised "tomorrow between xx a.m. - yy p.m. (generally midmorning to early afternoon)" and this would pass, the delivery would get pushed out to sometime before 9 pm or to "tomorrow..." again, and sometimes it has only been a one day delay and other times it carries on for multiple days. The key thing is that in all these cases, the parcel has made it to the local UPS depot (5 minutes from my house), and it has been indicated as being "out for delivery."

    UPS is failing at its sole purpose, which is timely and trustworthy delivery. Given the "Fuel Surcharge" lie that they continue to perpetrate and charge us for, I do not believe anything. UPS says, and I have taken my business to the honest, trustworthy US Post Office or FedEx or the very good and cheaper regional delivery services.

    The delivery driver and I had a miscommunication regarding his delivery. He is a difficult person to speak with. He is rude and condescending. Today, I received a notice that my package was delivered; however, I have not received a package. I tried to call UPS but you can't speak with a person. Even the 'chat' is run by a computer with a bunch of generated answers. I may have to receive some packages via UPS, but if I am able to choose, it surely will NOT be UPS.

    It seems that 9 out of 10 packages that go through the UPS Las Vegas sorting center gets misrouted to my location. Not just packages to me or my business but to most of those in our area. Unable to get an answer as to why but it is really frustrating when you are expecting a package on Friday and it is misrouted on Thursday and you don't get it till Monday or Tuesday the following week. Where we live we depend on UPS for most of our shipping as we have a center locally and they are very good about handling our shipments. If UPS would look at the history of this issue they could see the issue we are struggling with. I don't normally complain but this really needs to be addressed. This has been going on for several years. This is not a shipper or end user problem. If someone could shed some light on this, that would be wonderful.

    If you are shipping something fragile, don't use UPS. My mother passed away recently and I needed to ship some very old glass items from pa to FL. There was a total of 4 boxes all the same size, approximately 10x10x18. The items were all individually wrapped in bubble wrap. They were also taped securely. I affixed bright orange stickers stating fragile, handle with care on all sides of the boxes. When the boxes arrived in Florida they looked like they had been thrown around without any concern for the contents. All four boxes were damaged. We lost 2/3 of the contents of the boxes due to breakage. We lost irreplaceable memories of my mother due to outright negligence. I can't even begin to tell you the sorrow this company has caused us. So if you plan on shipping something fragile stay far away from UPS.

    I paid about $100 to send documents from the US to France in express. Mailed on a Tuesday morning, delivery promised for Thursday by 9pm local time, 2 days later. The documents arrive in France on Thursday early morning. So all is good right? Nope. No delivery on Thursday. Still nothing on Friday. I call the triage center in France, wait 30mn until I can talk to a human being, and I'm told the delivery *may* happen on Tuesday next week. 5 days delay for an express delivery! Complete rip-off. I will never use UPS again. Completely unreliable.

    Been ordering 2 stuff from Apple website. One came on time with FedEx within 3 days, as planned on the tracking. The other one has been sent via UPS, and it’s now 10 days without a single hope of it moving from the warehouse. It keeps getting scanned every morning « parcel moving to destination » but I really feel like it means « parcel on a treadmill at the warehouse, currently moving but not moving in the same time » LOL. Customer service inexistent, no answers. Kinda frustrating since the parcel is something like 9 km from home.

    Amazon and FedEx seem to deliver in time, I received everything I ordered in the delays. I know that period is hard for everyone but we are all expecting staff to work from home, medical devices, AC systems, and other. What I disrespect is not the delays, it’s the lack of listening, willing to find solution and, above all, lying on tracking experience. The tracking system has become a total festival of random dates and scanned hours.

    I have tried getting through to an actual agent for over 40 minutes today after the automated service ended the call. When you are required to input the tracking number for everything customer service related and the system gives you an update it ends the call. The problem is the update, the package was due in a few days ago by their own tracking information. Getting an agent on the phone to explain why it shows a delivery date of days already passed is near impossible. The phone service they use is as terrible as their service. This is the 3rd delivery in a row with the same issues. They show tracking information for a Friday and then Tuesday say it's in transit....USPS is better organized and responsive than UPS. I dropped UPS from my delivery options at my store but unfortunately other businesses still use them. Terrible terrible service.

Called customer service and got an automated response that there was not an actual breathing person I can talk to. I could have walked it there by now!

    Made a purchase from Ebay. Cost of the item was over $450. Waited a long time, then finally got a notice that the package had been delivered. Only problem was, we didn't see a UPS truck on our street the day it supposedly got "delivered." We made a claim to UPS. They didn't do a thing and then closed the investigation. Even after we put in the claim that the driver put "met customer man" as his proof of delivery. C'mon, at least talk to the driver! We called customer service, which is in India. All we could get from them was "sorry, the investigation has been closed." We asked for an American contact and they hung up on us. This is not a missing package from our porch.

    I had a very important parcel needed for my schooling. My shipment was to arrive on May 15th, however, the delivery date got switched to May 19th. I did not mind the delay due to the pandemic we are facing. However, I waited all day on May 19th and there was still no delivery. My status now says "Please check back for scheduled delivery." I desperately need my parcel to continue with my online classes. Online classes are difficult as is, and UPS's lack of communication and delay really does not help.

    I ordered parcels shipped from DHL and Canada Post in the same time frame I ordered with UPS, and honestly, DHL was THE BEST at getting my delivery to the door at record time. Canada Post also provided well and were accurate with their time slots. However, UPS failed to give the service other companies gave. My package has been sitting at a nearby city for 6 days! I am currently on the phone with UPS and I've been on hold for 35 minutes.

I called to confirm the delivery for May 15th as that was what was indicated on the tracking tool. I was on hold for over an hour before someone answered. They said I would receive a call by noon to get an update which I never did but the status of my order was updated to "Delayed due to unforeseen circumstances" and a new deliver date was provided for May 19th. If I hadn't called they likely wouldn't have changed the delivery status and I really needed the books for a course I had already started that week.

Well, it is past 9:30pm and I still don't have my package and their website shows it is to be delivered today. I called earlier to check and was on hold for 1hr 22mins and was somehow disconnected.

    I usually don't do any review but UPS has been awful with the delivery/tracking system/communication (the ability to actual talk to someone) with not one but three of my recent purchases. Tracking shows into a town close by to my town back to the town close back to my town and then it just shows in transit for several days (Two of the three packages still have not been delivered). All three package deliveries were the same. Tried calling... They want you to use the virtual assistant... What a joke that is, never got to a real person. It always told me they were unavailable. This is an unacceptable way to do business even with everything going on (which is what they blame it on) it is called bad business. I have also used USPS for two deliveries and they were both on time. Oh and I shipped one of the packages next day.. Doesn't matter how bad they are at delivering your package, no refunds..

    Shipping packages is their ENTIRE business. Day in, day out. That being said, it boggles my mind that even with the REST OF THE ADDRESS CORRECT, UPS couldn't deliver my package to the correct address because of the fact that I typed "APR" instead of "APT". Literally every other part of the address was correct and they shipped it to the WRONG CITY!!! My package was a 2-day ship, and now I'm being told that because of ONE LETTER, my package will now take 9 DAYS. Completely incompetent. I understand that I typed ONE wrong letter, but that doesn't explain how my package was shipped to an entirely DIFFERENT CITY!! Makes no sense.

Wouldn't UPS want the biggest and best pictures? No, they want to make it as difficult and painstaking as possible. Fact - UPS Stores ARE NOT a part of UPS and are franchises like Subway or other companies that build layers of protection for themselves so if you ever have a REAL issue with them, they can put blame on the "UPS FRANCHISE STORE."

    UPS has been one of the worst shipping companies from my personal experience. I ship with FedEx, Greyhound GPX, Uship, etc. I've had problems in the 5+ years.

And next day show it delivery today by 9pm again! Even I call their customer service, they said guarantee deliver by end of day=completed **! Worse service, worse...

    UPS just delivered a package to my home...instead of bringing my package to my front porch the driver left my package at the bottom of my steps on the pavement. This was a very expensive purchase that was just dumped in front of my home like trash. If my neighbor hadn't been outside and knocked on my door the package would have been left outside or stolen, as it was almost 7:30 p.m. when delivery was made. UPS needs to train their delivery staff on common courtesy.

    I paid for 2 day shipping, my package has been at the hub 15 minutes from my house for 2+ days now. It was on a truck scheduled for delivery on the 2nd day of the 2 day shipping and it never arrived. On the 3rd day it said it was "in transit" at the same hub. I called UPS 2 times, both they said it was going to be delivered that day, the third day, and the second time I called they took my name and number and said the dispatch would call me within the hour. I never received a call from UPS and my package was not delivered and now my package has not date for delivery. If you can avoid UPS like you do COVID, go DHL, FEDEX or even USPS.

    Tracking says package was delivered and signed for however no one was home to receive package. Spoke to neighbors and they did not sign for my package. Signed up for updates prior to the package being delivered in order to have an idea when it would arrive. I received no updates. Tried customer service and I cannot speak to a human being. Also tried to email and received a message that I may not receive an email till Monday. Tried to file a claim but cannot for at least 24 hours.

    I have not had a good experience ever when using UPS. When receiving packages everyone of them has been several days to even weeks late. Also I've had problems with them losing my packages. If you have any problems good luck tracking down someone to speak to because that's doesn't happen. And the time it take to file a claim is really ridiculous. I will never personally use them except when I have no choice but to because I'm receiving something from another sender and that's who they use. I'm very disappointed to how this business is ran. It needs a lot of work done before it will ever get my respect.

    Worst experience. I would like to tell you my bad experience on 5/1/20. Physician order for a specimen for company that had to go out that day. I called on 5/1/20 at 3:20pm. Spoke with a gentlemen from UPS about pickup on this specimen. He knew right away that the lab and company that this specimen had to go out today. He gave me the times between 3:30pm-5:00pm. About 4:07 pm a young lady from UPS said there would be no way the driver would be there at 5pm. So she said the driver would come after 5pm and would I be around. I replied yes. So I waited with no call or driver coming. I called back being worried that this lab could not sit.

    So I spoke with a young female lady with a heavy accent at 6:44pm explaining there was no one to pick up my specimen. So she was all confused had the wrong name for my phone and specimen. She had my roommate name. I asked her, "How did you get that name?" And I told her that was my roommate name. So she said, "Let me check my records." She told me that the young man I spoke with at 3:20 pm just put my roommate on there because he did previous transactions so the UPS guy just put his name on it. So she put my correct name on it and put me on hold to speak with a dispatcher. When she came back to the phone she said the dispatcher would call me within hour. At that time it was 7:00pm. So I called her back because no dispatcher had called me.

    I called back at 7:16 pm. Spoke with the same lady with the heavy accent and she informed me this time a UPS driver came by my house and attempted pick up. So it would be picked up the next day Saturday. I told her she was not telling the truth because I was sitting on my balcony and no UPS driver came up. Plus she told me the dispatcher would call me within an hour so how could a driver try to attempt to leave it when I just spoke with her and she said the dispatcher would call me in hour. Also asked her since she said the next day on Saturday what time. She just kept saying the morning. So I asked her the 2nd time, "What time in the morning?" And she said with attitude, "Let me look." And she informed me about 9am-12pm on Saturday with bad attitude.

    This person does not need to work in customer service. The lady I spoke with at 6:44pm and 7:16pm she is very unprofessional, has a bad attitude, and does not tell the truth. I spoke with a lady at 7:21pm from UPS. I asked her the names of the agents I spoke with. She replied the agent is a colleague of hers and would not disclose her name or ID. Also I had my roommate call UPS back to see if I could speak to a manager. The Asian male who answered the phone put him on hold and put him back in the order to wait for a customer service rep. We never got to talk to a manager each time we called. So the dispatcher ** male calls me 8:41 pm on Friday. Now this is past UPS pick up. And tell me this lame story that the driver attempted to pick up my package at my address but there was no apartment number on the address.

    For one the way my address is set up you would come down my block which he didn't because I was also on the balcony. 2nd the tracking that I gave to every agent I spoke with several times repeated the apartment number. So that was a lie. Many dishonest people that I spoke with at UPS that won't even tell the truth.

    Also this ** male said he would make sure my package get picked up the next day Saturday from 9am-12pm. Which he never called me on Saturday to see if it was picked up. I called Saturday morning at 9:12 am. Spoke with a lady with accent and she confirmed the lab would be picked up. Never happened. No pick up, and no phone call follow up so I had to take it to the drop off station. What is the sense for a pick up? This is the worst experience I ever had with UPS and this was important because this was a Physician order that was going to a lab for testing and it had to go on that day. I wish I could give zero minus. Some of these people that I spoke with should not be working.

The worse thing is they closed their only pick up depot and wouldn’t drop the package off access point. After multiple requests and them confirming they will drop it off at the access point, 2 weeks later we find out the package is back in ON with the seller and we have to go through the whole process again!!!

    I would give them a lower rating but their drivers are the best of all of them! Just the same I have not met a Canadian that does not literally loathe them! Especially if they order a lot from the US like I do. I had a potential court case with them once after they changed the invoice for a tool I had bought on eBay for $30 to $500 then wanted a hundred and twenty or so in fees. The seller sent me the another copy of the original shipping receipt showing what he had written when he left the place. That was another long winded nightmare to get my package released and duties paid on the 30 dollars I had paid instead of the $500 they made up. Most though would just pay the fee because they are in a hurry and I am sure they know that. I was too but since it was criminal, just on principle I had to fight it. About a week if I remember to get that straightened out.

    One time they were charging me two hundred dollars for duties owing on my own stuff that I was getting shipped back to Canada from a show I had in New York. They insisted that I pay before they would deliver it and that they would send me the papers right away so I could apply to get the money back. I asked for her name or some kind of reference and she would not give me anything. The package came, papers never came but by the time I noticed it was too late. Neat trick I thought after all most people these days are as busy as I am.

    Another time the day after a shipper dropped off my package and I had paid him they called me demanding payment. I told them I paid the driver. That only took about a half hour online to find a real person. Then another half hour of explaining to her and getting her to find some evidence... which I believe she eventually found. Now of course I have to very clear and keep every record and receipt of theirs on hand in case they try to double dip me or pull some other suspicious activity.

    Just today they they sent me a recorded phone message saying they will no longer let the drivers take payment and I had to go to their site to make payment so they can deliver it. Then said to use the 80 digit tracking number and started to read it out. Course I was up a high ladder drinking a beer and hooking up some electrical wires. So had to scramble down hitting repeat on the message until I could find a pen and pile of paper to write it down. The site said I could pay the drivers or pay there online. I opted to pay online because the package has been taking forever and they said they were holding it until I paid.

    I paid then when I tried to print the receipt it printed just the page and none of the receipt numbers!!! Another half hour of fighting trying to figure out how to get that receipt printed off. Gave up and took pics with my camera. Of course the receipt pages was three sheets long.... Now I might add I am very versed at dealing online. I have built and operate a half dozen websites, I have over a hundred online accounts and buy most of what I need online at least to the tune of 2k a month anyway.

    I even went as far as no longer dealing with one of my favorite US companies because they only shipped UPS. I order thousands of dollars worth of stuff online each year and nothing makes my day more than finding out they don't use UPS!!! My advice is you have a choice make the right one.... but if you live in Canada you likely already know that.

    IMO, UPS is scamming their customers into paying for services they cannot provide. What I don't understand about UPS, is that while they claim they cannot offer and service guarantees (Suspension of Service Guarantee, per their website notice), they are still charging for a variety of services: Standard, Expedited, Express, etc. None of that matters, as they are unable to provide delivery times or tracking information.

    I have given them the benefit of the doubt for the last 2 shipments arranged between the US and Canada, but as of this morning, the tracking information claims, "Your package has been delayed due to events beyond our control. We're adjusting delivery plans as quickly as possible", without any new delivery information (was originally yesterday, then today, then tomorrow, now unknown). UPS - you should be charging flat rates and delivery service is luck of the draw. Then, your customers (tenuous at best), can manage expectations. Shameful performance UPS.

    With six people locked in a house, we watched the front door for a UPS delivery. One came. It was a cutting board recently ordered. A webcam was also ordered. Tracking said it was delivered at the same time as the Cutting Board. It was not. Ebay closed the case because "tracking" said it was delivered. UPS "Customer Service" resources both phone and web redirect you to the same ID Tracking number to tell you it was delivered. The recording also said because of the Pandemic - Lost Package support (telephone support) is not available right now. Too bad so sad.

    Ebay thinks I am stealing. UPS is in Hiding. I am out $50 and my wife who is trying to remote teach, and still does not have the webcam to do so. So now I will head to Walmart to buy what I can off the shelf. In my experience, UPS does not have sufficient customer support to responsibly rectify legitimate claims or issues for the services that are being purchased. They are hiding true support portals by limiting or eliminating Customer Interaction with their employees.

    The contact telephone number is buried, which doesn't offer any assistance but referral to the website which gives no recourse. The Facebook phone number gives a reference to the website number and option 1, which doesn't work. It ignores your input and times out with a hang up. I know times are tough. I know workload is high. But this is when phone support is needed most. We are people, not numbers. I don't want something for nothing.

I spoke with Edwin today on March 5th, 2020 and I asked him about the status of the disputed additional handling charges from October, November and December 2019 invoices. Edwin said he no longer had those invoices available and that he doesn't remember any disputed charges. Edwin called me in January asking me to pay $10,000 towards my invoice in which I immediately paid. He said that by the February invoice the 'disputed' additional handling charges will be removed from all 3 months of the invoices. Edwin forgot about our conversation. My regional account manager Carlos ** was aware that Edwin was handling this. Edwin completely forgot about these charges, and acted as if there was no issues at all, and just said my account was payable.

    2nd Complaint: Today I received my 26th of February invoice number: **. I was overcharged for tracking numbers: **. I was charged 40KG per item, yet each packaged weighed 5KG, and measured 110 x 79 x 4 cm. The charges for the 2 packages are over $1300AUD. This is a complete error. I told Edwin about this issue, and he simply said the charges were payable. I wasn't happy with his reply and he eventually said that he will open a dispute. According to his previous dispute nothing happened at all, and I wasn't helped, which now leaves us $2000+ at loss and the whole situation is in limbo. I have been a UPS customer for almost 10 years, and I'm completely saddened by this service. I am in the process of opening up a DHL account because of this low quality of service.

I informed them that the military base had been in the same location for 78 years and houses nearly 45,000 people so I didn't think that was accurate. I requested (actually demanded) a supervisor. After quite the wait, the supervisor informed me that they don't deliver to military bases. This I know is an outright lie.

    My only option was to have the envelope sent back to the store it originated from (not even to me directly) and that they were not able to overnight it back to me. Here we are 24 hours later, and it still is at the same place is was last night, just minutes away from my son, but unable to get to him. And they are not able to process a refund.

They notify you on the day the item shipped and you can follow its trip on their tracking platform.

    Everyone seems to love the fanaticism of Christmas time gifting! In so recognizing this fact in modern day America, the online shopping craze has almost fully automated our yesterdays of traipsing through traditional storefronts for unique finds, and last minute deals. So appropriately given the fact that we have to receive the goods we purchase via the internet, I introduce to you an old hat in the trenches, The United Parcel Service or also known as (aka: UPS). This oddly familiar brown chariots take the cake when it comes to a generations old trade. Their demonstrated leadership has been mirrored in other companies throughout the nation, and world over, but none are as far driven into the heart of the cities, and small towns citizenry as the gentle hand of consistency found within the United Parcel Services employees.

    To note a recent observance, I of course ordered a gift for my elderly parents for Christmas. With reaching sighs of hope that they would be able to both handle, and love their much needed gift box, with a weighted blanket inside. I worried that it would arrive in a timely manner, and that they wouldn't struggle too much with getting it into the house and properly setup. Okay so to the beauty of the story within the delivery. The doorbell ring just happened to catch my mom passing the door, as she came down the stairwell. To her surprise it was the local UPS truck, doing what they do best, Timely & Friendly deliveries. So the delivery agent greeted my Mom, and told her he had a fairly heavy box to deliver to our home that morning, and asked if she needed help getting it into the door. Can you say this with me, Over and beyond the call of duty?

    Over, and beyond the call of duty, an uncommon characteristic to capture, but surely it should be a common aspect in each of us to expect. Our delivery was a success, and the deliveryman gave a meager amount of his time, and energy to help get the box into the house. But the impact of his actions were viral, in that telling this story to my children, and friends inspired them to pass along an equally kind act, through demonstrated benefits of how wonderful it makes one feel to do good for others, as you would have them do to you. Well to say that characteristic was apparently natural in my parents' delivery that faithful day would be an understatement. Because each delivery was handled with care, awareness of those whom attempt to taint the good hearted delivery with thievery, by protecting its obviousness through placement in as best of an out of sight location as possible.

    Every time the oddly brown old school swat looking truck is around, I am sure to give a proper mental hug, as well as friendly wave of affection to the men, and women who dare to take on the challenges before them, and exceed expectations for a constantly growing delivery demand. So if in reading this you find pleasure, the next time you come across one of these loyal transporters, extend your hand, and let them know that their service doesn't go unnoticed, and they are definitely appreciated. Here's to your day, I hope you enjoyed the read...

    I have Always had the best delivery service with UPS!! They are prompt, delivery is quick, the drivers that I have had are the most courteous of any company that delivers to me in the remote rural area of Montana! And...they even recognize me after hours in the grocery store, or on the street! There's a lot to be said about drivers who are that kind...especially in this world we live in today!! When I purchase online, if the carrier is Not UPS, I won't purchase from that particular company.

Dealt with several employees during that time and they were always nice and helpful. Have lived at address I'm at now for about 27 yrs. and cannot remember having any problems with deliveries.

    I really do love UPS. Sometimes the packages are a bit dirty and sometimes they come a bit late at night but the customer service is usually wonderful. I get a lot of packages delivered lately as I have been on crutches for 6 months. My latest delivery (car parts) was very heavy. When the driver knocked on the door he was very pleasant and then insisted on getting them in the hall for me. That was a huge help as I didn’t want them on the porch until night when someone else could bring them in. He wouldn’t take no for an answer and was very nice.
