    Had item shipped to me. I use UPS a lot with packages, always do well. If problem receiving package they "UPS” take care of it. No questions asked. :) Drivers are always very nice. If package weight is large driver would offer to help with it bring in if I catch him when he is dropping off.

    UPS is one of the oldest shipping companies. I receive majority of my packages from UPS. They always ring the bell and if we are not at home, they have even left a package at a UPS agent in the area, which was so much better than having to wait for the package to be redelivered. We usually always have the same driver, which makes a difference as well.

    The deliverer is always so courteous. Our packages are handled with care. Although in a hurry, they take time to converse a little. Respect is key to success! I can trust that whether I am shipping or on the receiving end, my packages will be handled first class.

    We had a driver that physically put his hands on me, shove me and then take a package that he had just handed off to me, out of my hands and back to the facility. I had contacted UPS that I had been having trouble with this driver for a while and they did nothing. I had video of the incident and they wouldn't look at it. Because I am the only one at the store, the driver has been allowed to get away with questionable behavior because there is no one here to collaborate the incidents. I asked UPS to have a different driver to come to my place of business and I still get the same guy.

    I sent a large parcel with collectible figures in it 6 in total which they were to package in store from N.J. down to my home residence in Florida while visiting my father. I arrived home the parcel arrived a few days later and was smashed, and the figures boxes were crushed and damaged and one figure was not even in the box. These figures were all purchased new and were in mint condition and now they are not, since Dec 7th I am still waiting on them to process a damage claim. Over a month to process a claim for something they damaged, and an item they never packaged which in my eyes means they stole it, is absurd.

    I would like for your drivers to let me know when they drop something at my door. I live in a trailer if I didn't have to bring me dog out to use the bathroom I wouldn't know that I had something on me steps. Also need boxes left on the porch not down the steps. He vey boxes are too hard for just one to bring up the steps. If it raining or snowing and you don't have a need to go out your door you would never know you have something sitting out your door for you to bring in.

    Ring the bell if person inside needs help to bring in a box then help them.

    I trust UPS... I've used them many times in the past & have never had any problems. I like that I can track the delivery. I also like the fact that they have a local store to go to even on Saturdays to pick up or send out deliveries. You can also ask to have your deliveries sent to the store instead of left off at your door step... So no worry of someone stealing your packages. Easy in & out.

    UPS refused to deliver my packages to my front door (3rd floor apt. Bldg.) They attempted delivery to the mgrs. Office but when the office refused, the driver then took the packages to the UPS drop point, some 5-6 miles away. Unacceptable!! I had to return twice to the drop point to pick up a package that was supposed to be there the first time I received a notice. UPS really disappointed me.

    UPS is extremely efficient until my packages have to go through the North Houston facility. That's where my packages stall and sometimes get lost. I'm waiting on a package right now and as soon as I saw it had arrived at the North Houston facility, I knew it would not arrive as expected and I was right because it's delayed two days now. Over the holidays, I had a package lost. It's ineffective all year, not just the busy season.

    UPS used to be the gold standard for shipping, in my view. However, when there's a glitch, they seem to get caught up in their own internal processes instead of solving the problem as viewed by the customer. For example, I had a package that was being sent to be held for me at a regional UPS center because the shipper couldn't recognize my address. I also asked if it could be sent to a closer Walgreens for pickup rather than the UPS center. They said it could, and I said I'd let them know if I wanted to do that. A couple of days later, I saw via the tracking info that it was waiting for me at Walgreens. I never requested that, I simply asked if it was possible. If I hadn't proactively checked about it, it would have been returned after sitting there for a few days.

    My dilemma, and my frustration with UPS is beyond describable. Jan. 17th my package was meant for guaranteed delivery. I however received a notice slip saying my package would be available for pickup the next business day after 1 pm, at the UPS access point- Langley Stop N Shop. I went next business day, and the next following three days to confirm if my package arrived for me and was not. Finally Monday after work I came home to another notification slip saying my package had a final delivery attempt that was missed. I was confused and frustrated because my package was meant to be at the UPS access point for pickup.

    So I called UPS that night, told them of this whole dilemma, and the customer service rep after speaking to her supervisor, set a delivery for me the next day Tuesday Jan. 22, after 6 pm. Tuesday Jan. 22nd I came home around 5:45 pm, and waited all night for my package. No one showed. I once again called UPS, even more frustrated and told the customer service rep of both dilemmas. She confirmed there would be a guaranteed delivery the Thursday Jan. 24th after 4 pm.

    Today-Jan. 24th. it is past 7 pm, and my package has still not arrived. I once again called UPS, spoke to another agent who told me my package was on hold and will not be delivered today. She could not give me information on the next delivery date as well, and said someone will be in touch the next morning. Now I am outraged, from Jan. 17th-Jan. 24th I have still not received my package when the original guaranteed delivery date was Jan. 17th. UPS has not put me as priority despite my huge inconvenience.

    After numerous attempts to resolve continuous issues with United Parcel Service regarding reimbursement and compensation for stoppage of deliveries, held deliveries, and loss expenses for incidental damages, the company has refused to negotiate or take accountability for their lack of service. There has been several phone calls, Better Business Bureau filings, and in-store attempts to address issues related to this inconvenience. Delivery interruptions occurred between 11/2018-1/2019, but was assured future issues would cease.

    Mailing cookies to the west coast, we first went to US Post Office - even though it was three weeks before Christmas, even their fastest shipping would not arrive at the destination in time, although they were cheap. Next we went to FedEx and nearly fainted at the cost - over a hundred dollars to deliver the cookies. We went home and ate some cookies to comfort ourselves. Then we went to UPS. The price was reasonable, under $30, the delivery was slow but the cookies would arrive before Christmas. They did get to the destination on the day expected and they were in PERFECT condition, so except for the extremely (I thought) slow delivery time, I was quite satisfied with UPS.

    I am in the process of moving from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Portland Oregon. Since I am not immediately sending furniture, etc, I am shipping several boxes with household items. I researched other less expensive methods such as Busfreighter but due to online pictures and reviews, I decided to go with the more expensive route, UPS, thinking my shipments would be handled with greater care. Unfortunately, my perception of UPS was wrong. Most of my boxes arrived tattered and torn... No better than the pictures submitted by users of Busfreighter. My shipments arrived over a 3 day period.

    In one of the damaged boxes, I removed the bubble wrap from a pressure cooker to find it bashed in on one side. It was only $100 so I blew it off and discarded the box and contents. In another battered box, I found my stand up mixer ($200) snapped in half. The box had "packing peanuts on the bottom. The mixer wrapped in bubble wrap, other pots and pans (wrapped in bubble wrap), and air pillows at the top of the box.

    At this time, I decided to take pictures, as recommended on the UPS site. The damaged mixer was the only claim I attempted to file. The online claims form on the UPS site would not allow me to proceed. UPS Customer service advised me I had to go to the UPS Store (shipping point) to file the claim. I contacted the store to learn the pictures would not suffice. I had to keep the box, contents, and wrapping material available for a UPS agent to inspect. I spent $1,111.82 with UPS to ship 11 boxes. UPS makes it virtually impossible to file a claim for damages and recover costs. I have equally as much to ship again. I will take my chances on the lesser expensive transport services.

I was in disbelieve that because she ASSUMED I called her “ridiculous” she hung up on me and gave me such treatment all over her assumption. I explained to her that I was speaking to my significant other in the car in disbelief about the price and had told him the price is ridiculous but ** insisted and wanted to continue arguing with me in disagreement as if she was in the car with me and she knows for a fact I called her that name.

    If businesses act out on their feelings based on an assumption without probable cause, they lose customers and eventually lose their business. UPS has lost my business because I do not deserve to be treated by ** with such rude behavior based on her assumption. That was extremely poor customer service. There was another staff working there at the time, a male staff at the shipping area. He witnessed the whole incident.

    I have worked for FedEx Print Office for 6 years. I know and am familiar with the work that she does. I was a lead consultant and was in charge of production, customer services, inventory, and shipping and receiving. There’s is no excuses/reasons that’ll justify her rude behavior towards a customer who is wrongfully accused and therefore mistreated by **. Sadly, she is a manager at that center. It’s really disappointing to think that UPS employed someone like her. UPS needs to work on better training their employees on how to be better at problem solving when interacting with customers. It’s really a shame because this is my first horrible experience with UPS and it’ll be my last because I will do business with FedEx from now on. Please contact me if you have any questions and because I would really appreciate it if I can speak to someone above: **.

    As a small business, we ship items all over the USA, and UPS has destroyed so many items over the last 5 years. You know it's bad when every UPS driver you encounter tells you to NOT mark "fragile" on packages because that encourages the warehouse workers to manhandle the box. We've filed a police report for an item that was stolen by a UPS driver, after the insurance claim was closed 3 times from within to cover it up. Don't bother purchasing the insurance as they don't honorably inspect the item and will make-up reasons to decline the claim so they don't have to pay. Finally, and probably my biggest complaint is that now one must pay nearly $5 to get a signature upon delivery, which used to be included in shipping costs, and it still is with FedEx.

    I usually use UPS for convenience in shipping pkgs to my son in Colo. A few years back my son did not receive Christmas pkg from me. Broke my heart. Tracking pkg showed driver delivered pkg to another address (nowhere near my son) and signed it had been delivered. Gift box included personal items, pics, etc which were irreplaceable and the person who incorrectly rec'd the pkg refused to return it to correct address. I did receive insured amt from UPS and driver was either fired or suspended.

    This past Christmas I shipped a pkg to my son and at the retail dropoff the UPS driver had just arrived to pick up pkgs. The driver completed my paperwork for me which I appreciated. In quoting a shipping rate there was a $27 increase in the rate charged from the retail store as opposed to the rate from their shipping center. I always thought the retail out jacked up their prices, now I know for sure and will certainly take my pkgs to the shipping center. If I knew where the FedEx center was I would go there as UPS doesn't deliver on weekends or count the weekend days as ship days.

    They could not re-route it to my workplace. She said I could try to re-schedule or have it sent back to the company I bought it from and have them re-send it to my work address. What??? I finally just went online and asked for it to be re-delivered and a man called me back and I had to give him step-by-step directions to my house from the facility. Do the trucks not have GPS? Does the driver not have a phone with Google Maps? My address shows up on both of these handy items. Anyway, we will see if it gets there today.

    I've had horrible service from UPS. They can't even remember to ring the doorbell when they throw my package in the bushes. Don't bother calling to speak with a supervisor because they make promises of improved service but when it doesn't happen, there are no consequences. I've received dog beds in cardboard boxes (well-marked) left in the pouring rain so they were saturated when I opened them. I asked one guy to put a new carpet in my garage & as the door started to open he tossed the heavy carpet under the door, ran back to his truck and took off. Of course, this isn't EVERY driver...

    UPS sells most manufacturers and retailers contracts that exclude Hawaii and Alaska. Now online suppliers are drop shipping from manufacturers, so getting goods to Hawaii is harder and harder. Shippers with UPS contracts will not send items via USPS, which is the lowest cost shipper. If the UPS shipper will ship to Hawaii, the premium is most often more than double the cost of the product. UPS says they service the US, but not all states, and they compete with the USPS, which does service all states. New CA "expediter" businesses are springing up because of UPS discriminatory marketing. A greedy company.

    I had ordered a limited edition guitar which was supposed to arrive on 12/21 to me in Brooklyn, NY for someone as Christmas gift. Waited the whole day, and it did not arrive. I called customer service and they said they would do an investigation. I looked up the tracking number, and for some reason the package was once again leaving Kansas and was no longer in Brooklyn. Do they have incompetent people taking care of their data and tracking? Are they just giving people's packages a trip cross country?

    Finally, about 5 days later, the tracking updates to say it will deliver on 1/03. Waited the whole day, and nothing arrived again. I called customer service and they promised it will be delivered by 9 pm. I waited and nothing ever arrived and then UPS e-mailed me to notify it will arrive on 1/04. Once again, I waited and waited and nothing arrived. I called and now the package got shipped to a local facility across town. Why? I don't know and these people don't know anything apparently and when the local facility called me, they were rude and did not want to answer questions.

    I finally spoke to a supervisor who at least looked like he cared enough to try to help but the local facilities then claimed that they could not find the package in their facility and that it was lost!! A $1,400 limited edition guitar that was supposed to be a Christmas gift was lost! How the hell does a package arrive a facility and then disappears??!! Did someone steal it? A big 6x3 package cannot just disappear into thin air!!! I was only informed of this on 1/16. NEVER AGAIN! AVOID UPS AT ALL COSTS! They are irresponsible and their own team 95% of the time don't even know what the hell they're doing.

I called UPS and they told me that I would receive a callback within 1 hr, after an hour, I received my callback. They told me that the driver will return to my house and delivery the package, so do not leave.

    I waited, waited, yet nobody came, I called UPS again and they told me that a supervisor will call within an hour, no call. I called again and the same result, at 6:45, I received another email in my inbox, stating the package delivery was attempted at 6:39, but nobody was home again. After another call, UPS told me, that I can drive 25 miles and pick it up at the UPS center or they will redeliver the package any time I want the following week.

One of them (box) is 100 lbs and another (box) is 80 lbs. Each of the box contained valuable antique pieces made up of wood and metal worth in thousand dollars. Ground shipping from Texas to California. Shipment was not received after 2-3 weeks. We called UPS customer service with the tracking number and they said, they are not able to find the shipment and, asked us to give some more time. We followed up number of times and they said they are not able find and shipment is lost. Can you believe two big boxes are lost (somebody within UPS must have stolen our valuable shipment)!!!

    UPS opened an investigation. We had to call number of times and they could NOT find the shipment after many months (6-8 months) of investigation. Finally, they asked to submit a claim form. We followed up with UPS claim (1 800 430 2055). Claims Rep says they will be able to process claim and pay us only $100!! Can you believe it!!! Big boxes containing valuable antique pieces each of which weighing 100 lbs and 80 lbs worth thousands dollars. I asked for supervisor. Supervisor (Debra) came online, she gave the same answer and mentioned that one of the reason why they are paying $100 is because no "estimated value" was entered on the shipping label. UPS guy who came to pick up the boxes gave us the label and asked us to enter only from and to address with names, phone# which we did.

    UPS lost our precious shipments and offer only $100. They cheated us. I asked the supervisor if I can talk to high up in the management chain. She said we need to call customer service. We already spend months talking to them and no use. Every time you call UPS customer service, new person picks up the phone. Looks like UPS is running a scam, losing shipments, cheating customers.

    UPS has been great. When not at home they place in a secure place so waiting for me when home. Great service when any issues. They resolve quickly. Same driver for years so small towns have their benefits.

    Not much difference between FedEx and UPS... ground ship is long but the cheapest. Most of our purchases are through Amazon Prime and two day free shipping. Amazon determines the carrier... We've had service from UPS, FedEx and USPS. As long as we receive a tracking number it matters little who delivers.

    Always use UPS, always great service, weekends can be a bit slower in rural areas which has caused us frustration but checked and the timing was the same with Canada Post and FedEx. Why did UPS leave Brockville? I use the one in Ogdensburg a great deal with great success.

    First, they don't care about you or your shipment, or their reviews. $100 standard insurance? Sure, I'll take it. What, you want a claim? No can do amigo. 7 pictures of the package required before you sent it, inspection of the package at the receivers end, and even if they have that they'll still tell you that you didn't pack it correctly. What, you don't take 7 pictures of every package before you send them? That's not their problem. You didn't read the 20 page shipping terms of service before you dropped off your $100 package? Not their problem either. This should be a red flag that they spend so much effort in avoiding liability. They spend way more than $100 to deny a $100 claim.

    If you run a business that ships parcels use someone else. I sell and ship, package arrives crushed. So, of course, the customer sends it back for a refund. Refund given immediately. UPS then tries to contact the receiver to inspect the package, which is obviously not there anymore, and they either don't answer, or tell them they don't have it, or they're not going to be inconvenienced to wait for someone to inspect a box. I would too. Since they can't inspect the package, they deny the claim. Pictures of how it looked when it arrived are not enough. Not only did my customer not get their item, I've now lost $100 and my customer isn't happy.

    They treat a $100 claim like it's insurance fraud for a $500,000 house. And don't forget, it was their sloppiness or lack of care that broke it in the first place. Do they think people pack and ship packages that they don't care if they arrive in good condition or not? This is a company that doesn't stand behind their service or value the customer. It's obvious they don't trust anyone who uses their service, also known as THEIR CUSTOMERS. But they have so much business that they don't care about individuals. Costco, they are not. As a small business owner I'm too small for them to care. But it's my business at stake, so I have to choose someone I can rely on, and I would trust anyone first before UPS.

    I ordered international first class shipping (more money for no reason!!!) so I should have gotten it in max 5 business days. It’s now been 10. The site lied to me saying it attempted to deliver on the original date at 9:55 pm and I was awake and no one ever showed up knocking or ringing the doorbell and they said that since I missed it, it would come the next business day but here I am 5 days later with still nothing... AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY MORE NOW because it got imported into Canada... Lol. Why not explain that in your original shipping price? Sooo now IM STUCK PAYING $120 OVERALL IN DELIVERY FEES FOR A $60 HOODIE... I called 5-6 times and they told me the driver was gonna come that day. I called 3-4 different times on different days and they said that I could give the driver a check to pay for the rest (because obviously I’m just gonna freeze that check. ** you UPS). NEVER USE UPS!

    June 2018 driver ran over my Labrador in my driveway. Considerable ($2500) damage and vet bill, as well as ruining a trained hunting dog. Local UPS people outright lied to cya. Call to insurance company for claim resulted in being told I had no claim based on what UPS local office told them. Six months later, package came via UPS for me to pick up (they are not allowed on our property) on a Wednesday. “Not here”, they told me. Called sender who verified UPS had it. Got call Friday morning telling me a package was waiting for me.

    Apparently the package had been there since Wednesday per the UPS label. Since it included perishables, they are no longer usable. UPS response: “sorry”. This company makes billions of dollars every year and does so, in part, by cutting every corner, denying any responsibility for errors and hiring people in management who know that the bottom line is to make money despite poor service. It will continue until enough businesses and people stop using them. Don’t just vent on a website. Contact companies you do business with and tell them your experiences.

    I shipped a stove top which was properly packaged in a brand new rated box. It was delivered and then returned due to it appearing to be broke. UPS charged me another $80.00 to ship a broken product back to me. After refunding the purchaser $400,00 and then 130.00 for shipping I am out $500.00. Never again will I be using UPS. They are a disgrace. Their inspection said I did not use a proper box. Terrible service. Never Again!

    If there is a negative 1 in the rating, that is what I would give as a review for UPS. Shipment delayed for 4 times, called them to check why the delivery is delayed, they couldn’t give me an answer. Very frustrating.

    I live in Fremont, CA and they were suppose to deliver my package to Superior Court of California, Fremont in one day using UPS Ground - But they delivered it after two months and now I have double penalty from Superior Court of California - This is like I delivered a Package to China.

    Completely lost here. UPS originally had my package January 4th 2019. And for some bonehead reason they "claimed" they handed it over to USPS in Hazelwood, MO on Jan 4th 2019 @7pm... As of this post it's been 5 days and no tracking updates... USPS says they have no idea my package ever existed basically 'cause they don't have it and don't know where it is... Yet UPS website says it was due Tuesday Jan 8th delivery... IDK what the heck to believe.

    I stayed home in silence to receive a package I had to sign for yesterday, and the driver never knocked or rang my bell, simply stuck a “we will reattempt” info notice on my door at 10:50 am. This morning I again checked tracking to be available for the delivery time frame. My package had been returned to sender - according the tracking info logged, I had refused the package at 8:00 pm last night! This all took place the day of the first delivery attempt. When I called UPS to express my frustration, the service agent hung up on me. This is not my first experience with UPS drivers falsifying tracking information. I suspect that UPS ignoring driver fraud to force consumers into paying a premium for “confirmed delivery window”.

    I have 2 packages that say delivered since Monday the 7th. They said they were delivered to my apartment office. I went to office to get and they said UPS hasn't been there all day. So I'm like ok I will wait until tomorrow because I know they are notorious for lying and saying a package was delivered when it wasn't. They usually show up the next day.

    We back Tuesday and still no package. I finally called Wednesday and UPS was no help at all. They basically told me I needed to call my shippers. Why would I need to call them when it says UPS DELIVERED it? What has me so upset is that 2 of the items I ordered are now out of stock. Here it is THURSDAY and I still have no packages. Called my apartments yesterday and they still said UPS had not been in all week. So you mean to tell me out of hundreds of apartments they did not have a single delivery for any of us? In December Amazon had to give me like 6-7 refunds due to UPS's being incompetent. I really wish I had a choice not to use them but many sites do not give you a shipping choice. I can't imagine being ok with just lying daily and not doing my job correctly.

    Hi name is Brenda and the UPS is the worst delivery service and they don’t have any sympathy but I am sorry. I had paid for a package 35 dollars to get to my cousin in Houston from Dallas and it was suppose to arrive Thursday. The guy assured me that it would. I check my tracking and see Friday delivery and call immediately and go to where I purchased it which was Murphy Texas. I was furious because it did not only get there on to time but I also requested a refund which the guy in the store told me I would.

    Come to find out a week later he called telling me that the UPS customer service denied it. They said that they don’t cover weather issues. I was battling and asking them to refund me. I spoke to a supervisor name Mabahaw and he was rude to me and forwarded my call back to one of the people in UPS. I will Never again ship with this company. They not only don’t refund you but their mail doesn’t come Till late. Never mail or ship anything through UPS. They are garbage!!! If I can give the 0 stars I would.

    THE ADDRESS WAS ENTERED INCORRECTLY BY THE STORE CLERK. The address the clerk entered was nonexistent but the driver said he delivered the package. How could he have delivered to an address when there is no house and only an open field? After that they said they were going to investigate it. They refused to give me the details on their investigation and that they would only give us $50 for our trouble. The package sent had $350 of merchandise in it. Even though they knew it was their mistake, they refused to reconcile the situation!!

    Waited 12 hours and driver shows up across the street at 7:26 at night, heard him bs-ing with the neighbor as I was whistling and yelling out my door. All of a sudden he leaves and I get a note that I wasn't home. This idiot went to the wrong house and a week before dropped a box off at my house that was supposed to be delivered 6 blocks away!!! Don't ship UPS, go with FedEx or the black hole of the US postal service.

    Customer service was not provide at all. Spoke to few reps who did updated the apartment number but they did not even try to resolve an issue. Supervisor was not reachable at all. In the end local facility lied about delivery and time sensitive package was delivered a day later. Honestly never saw such low level services. Management should work to improve customer service.
