    The customer service for UPS is trash. Called them 3 times today with the promise of a "callback within an hour". What a joke. I never received a call back any of the time, hence why I called them multiple times in one day. Takes 2 business days to update shipment information?! I'm going to have to drive to pick up my package 40 minutes one way when there is a UPS store in the town I live in! Will never EVER use this "service" EVER again and will tell EVERYONE I possibly can that this company is absolute garbage.

    Hopefully one day UPS will be history, I've been without AC for a week because UPS failed to deliver my package that contains the part to fix my unit. So after countless phone calls of being put on hold and getting transferred here and there with no kind of real answer as to why my package isn't being delivered, I'm just beyond aggravated at this point. So much that I actually subdued to the fact that they aren't going to deliver my package and I will have to go pick it up myself which is about a 40 minute drive one way. I wish I could give a negative star rating. I could rant for another 2 pages but it isn't going to help. Please Amazon if you read this STOP USING UPS!!!

    My package has been "out for delivery" for over 48 hours. At the end of their delivery day they just update it saying the package is delayed, it's already 3 days late. There is no update, no ETA and not a care given. They can't tell me if my package is coming or if it ever will show up. I have to take off of work so that I can wait 14 hours a day for them to drop the ball again. When I talk to customer service they say it's my fault for not paying even more than the 25 dollars I paid for shipping. I can't believe how much of my time I have spent quietly watching TV just waiting to hear a knock or something. How long I've spent refreshing the tracking number to see if there are any updates but UPS does not care and I don't understand how they function as a business since my experience seems to be universal for every other person using UPS.

    I mailed a letter that contains a very large check using 3-day delivery, at the cost of $11. It was lost and I filed a claim. Six weeks later, the investigation determined that the claim deserved a refund of SIX DOLLARS!! So UPS shortchanged me of $5! No one worries about that $5. But, what's the reason for not refund me the FULL COST OF SHIPPING? UPS explained to me it's because they only charge the STORE $6. So they refund the store $6. But, HELLO. THE STORE CHARGED ME $11. So, ship with UPS AT YOUR OWN RISK. By comparison. US Postal Service lost a letter like this. It did not ONLY refund me the total cost of shipping, but also the cost to stop the check and mail the new check using overnight express.

    So every time I order something from Amazon and it ships with UPS they will not deliver on time and then I would have to wait another 3 to 4 days to get the notification that I have to go to the warehouse to pick it up...doing their job for them. If you can avoid them I would. Go with USPS or FedEx if you can. UPS is the worst delivery company ever.

    The last several orders I have placed that has been shipped UPS it’s never on time! The tracking is a joke because they don’t update anything regularly! I’m on my fourth day of “It’s out for delivery” then at 8pm they update it and says “in transit” again. At one time UPS was the best and fastest method of shipping, not so much anymore! In my opinion they are by far the worst for residential deliveries and feels to me they have made their focus on commercial deliveries and have made the small accounts not so important.

    I sent glass candle holders (value $25) to my daughter, carefully boxed and bubble wrapped. The items arrived shattered, lots of glass shards in the bubble wrap. My daughter threw them away, then let me know about the damage. After trying for two days to unsuccessfully use UPS 'easy' online claim service I called. I spoke with a very condescending agent who told me a UPS representative would have to go to my daughter's home to inspect the items and see the packaging. I explained to the agent the items and packaging had been discarded due to safety issues. He basically told me tough luck, so I asked to speak to a supervisor and was kept on hold for 10 minutes. I still have no idea if I am going to receive a refund or not. Since I sent the package through the local UPS Store, the refund, if I get one, will be sent to them. I am supposed to check with the store as to the status of my refund.

    I waited all day at home on three different dates to receive my delivery. I ordered a chair from Pier 1 Imports to be delivered to my address. Pier 1 sent the chair out on time with an tracking number. UPS Ground delivery driver came three different dates to deliver my chair (at least that is what the tracking number stated) but not to my address. On the third try the UPS Ground delivery driver dropped off my chair to another address I don't even know where. The tracking number stated it was delivered but I do not know where the chair was delivered to. Pier 1 Customer Service was great in helping me get a refund back plus shipping and surcharges charges.

This company is absolute garbage, and not like the useful garbage like recycling the worst kind you can think of.

    Contacting UPS is the most difficult part of the process. I ordered a package on Amazon and they used UPS to ship said package. It was supposed to arrive today but could not be delivered due to a lack of a signature from me. I received an email telling me I needed to sign off on the package and through the email I was given a choice to sign it online, but it would not allow me to sign it even after I attempted multiple times. I was then notified that I couldn’t receive my package and that I could pick it up from a local UPS store. So I called said store and was not able to reach anyone. I’ve called at least 10 times and not once did anyone answer. I then decided to call UPS customer service number, and could not get through to anyone other than an automated voice. I’ve had an extremely difficult time and I still haven’t gotten through to anyone whatsoever. Never use UPS!

    I was moving cross country and decided to ship my boxes via UPS. It was a total of six moving boxes. ($700) Pick up worked out fine, I was waiting for longer than my pick up window was but that's ok as they called and told me about it. My account got charged, ok all good. Then the payment was pack on my account - I thought ok, it's the weekend, it's going to be fixed... But instead of simply charging the cost I owed - they did charge me double = an extra $700 which not only leaves my account overdrawn, they can't even do anything about it until it actually can be charged from my card - then I am supposedly able to give them the tracking number for the second charge and then they would be able to fix it. I can't believe how unprofessional this all is and what stress this adds to my move.

    I ordered a $2,000.00 piece of equipment for my business from a company in Mid FL. Once the package was scanned in to UPS’s system I had a delivery date of Thurs. Which would of been a total shipping time of 4 days. (No problem). As a business owner I scheduled work around that delivery date of Thurs. And had a full day of work lined up for Friday. Well I tracked the package on Wed. and saw it was in Raleigh NC (hmmm so it skipped 2 whole states and passed 2 major hubs). So I called UPS and asked if I would still have my package. They said, “Absolutely. It will be delivered by the end of the day Thurs.” As a person with common sense and know how long it a takes to move freight down the road I called my customers and rescheduled for Monday. Well Thursday came and went with no package (what a surprise).

    I called again. Was told it will be here by end of the day Friday. Meantime while tracking it online I see it moved from Raleigh to Greensboro NC, then back to Raleigh NC. So my $2,000 piece of equipment is just joyriding around in a big brown truck for absolutely no reason at all getting the crap beat out of it. I’m losing money in my business because I’m relying on a so called logistics specialists.

    On the phone Friday when I again called to see if I could get a guarantee for a Friday delivery and again I was told it will be delivered on Friday for sure. I can count on it. Well Friday again came and went with no package. After a few emails with the big company I was told it will be here on this Monday. Well that is tomorrow and as far the tracking says it’s still in Raleigh NC. So I’m guessing UPS just doesn’t want to do the job they were already paid to do and deliver my package to me.

    I wish there was a group of business owners that had some money to spend to hire so really good attorneys and sue the crap of UPS for us little guys who can’t fight UPS. Someone needs to hold UPS accountable for screwing over smaller companies and just the regular guy/girl trying to get their package delivered on time. I know nobody would do it but it sure would be nice to see UPS suffer like they make us suffer by holding our packages hostage. They basically have stolen our property by not delivering it when promised.

    I know it gets one star reviews all the time. The people please please please never use UPS. That place is horrible! They deliver two packages to my house and then the UPS driver came back and said he delivered something to our house that was not ours and I said, "No you didn't." He then demanded to see the packages that he delivered! When I refused and told him that I had already open the packages he demanded to see the packing material. I said I already threw it away and unfortunately the trash at gone out. I believe he stole the package and then blamed us for it. Now because of this when we order something and it goes UPS our driver marks it as the receiver requested to pick it up at the UPS location, and doesn't bother to deliver it!

    UPS is probably the worst delivery service. (I don't count USPS. No one expects anything out of them anyway.) They do not keep/give accurate tracking. They lie about attempting deliveries. Their customer service is useless. I've had the misfortune of more than one unpleasant experience with them. I only use them when there is no other option, and usually it does not go well; especially, when it is something important/time sensitive.

    A financial institution send me an IRA rollover check via UPS overnight. The email notification I got said that a signature was required for delivery. 2 days later I get an email that says my delivery has been rescheduled to the next day. The problem now is that I’m leaving town for 3 days. There was a person staying at my home so I told them it was coming, just sign for it when it arrives. Got home, no package and now it’s late Christmas Eve. The UPS delivery notification says that the driver released the package at my home without a signature. I called UPS and they said no signature was required and that they left the package at my gate, 600 feet from my house.

    On Dec 26 I was finally able to get ahold of the financial institution and they said they had been notified by UPS that an investigation was underway. They canceled the original check on Wednesday and issued a new one to be delivered by UPS on Friday. On Friday I get an email saying I had been rescheduled to Monday (New Year's Eve). At 3 pm Monday I get an email saying I’d been rescheduled to Wednesday the 2nd. I got home at 8:45pm. I met the UPS truck on my road. The delivery notice said that it had been delivered at 8:42. The gate was open and the lights were on. Once again they left it at the gate without a signature. It only took 16 days to get an overnight package via UPS. I forwarded the check via FedEx. They received it in less than 20 hours. Use FedEx for overnight service!!

    Online tracking indicated delivery to my home that day. Late in the day tracking indicated ‘severe weather delay’. Local weather was fine. With much difficulty I was able to speak with a customer set representative and their supervisor to learn that UPS knew early in the day that my package was not put on a truck for delivery and did not update the tracking information. I wanted at home all day! Customer service supervisor did not do anything to help with rescheduling delivery so that I would not have to take another day off to wait for this package. Picking the package up at a UPS distribution centre was offered instead of delivery even after I advised the supervisor that, due to a physical handicap, this was not an option for me.

    So ordered a package through Amazon a few weeks ago. Package set to be delivered Jan 2nd. Checked the tracking number on the evening of the second and it was being returned to sender, the reason was "refused delivery/did not want". I called UPS and they told me that I had refused delivery, I explained that I had not and a delivery had not came to my house. She apologized and told me they would be calling me within an hour to resolve the issue. 2 hours later I call back and get the same spiel. I called Amazon thinking they could help and had a 3 way call with UPS and Amazon and was told that the offices were now closed so someone would call in the morning, but that basically nothing could be done. Went to write a review and they dont have a place on UPS's site or FB so I sent a FB message telling them I was unhappy and with I had the option to leave a review.

    I was answered with the typical "My team is more than happy to help" and started all over again being told a second time I would receive a call before 10am to resolve the issue. This was all on the 2nd. By 10 am on the 3rd I had not received a call so I messaged to inform them and was told that if I didnt receive a call in the next hour to let them know. I informed them I would be at work and it would be hard to take a call after 10. At 1230 I get another message saying they reviewed the case notes and the package was not delivered because it was damaged.

    I asked why I was told by 3 different people that I had refused it and now they were saying it was damaged. The answer was that they had no more info and that I would not be receiving a call as there was no need for one. I asked for a number that I could call as I was very unhappy and was once again answered with "there is nothing else to discuss and I should take it up with the sender to reorder". I asked again for a number and have been ignored so I will be calling cooperate on this. Still no idea what actually happened as I was told 2 different stories and dont have the part I need for a very expensive fishing trip this weekend. I will never use UPS if any other choices are available.

    "UPS Incompetence". We have another failed delivery. I was supposed to receive a delivery shipped on 12/24 but the government close the offices. For that reason the office was close and the driver put on hold my package from that day to January 2nd because he wants to do without any reason. My office was open on 12/26,12/27,12/28,12/29,12/31 include 1/2/19 but the driver or the warehouse didn't want to deliver yet my package just because they did not want to. In the system didn't say any news. Just on hold to future date and when I call just they said they didn't know where is it and put in investigation but I need to wait 5 or 8 days more to conclude.

    The investigations start date yesterday 1/2/2019 because before that they didn't do anything about it. That package is for my work. In this case I can not work so I didn't generate money so I didn't have food for my children's or how can paid my rent if I didn't have that? How can to work?

    We had three packages to be delivered on Friday 28th. On Dec 27 we had snow in the area. By Friday the roads were ok to clear, our mailman made it ok and we were out and about with no concerns. Friday we received notice that the packages were delayed due to bad weather(?). Expected to be delivered between 29th to 31st. Each day we checked tracking and they were working to get our packages back on track but had no dates. Monday when we still had no set delivery I called them. According to the tracking all packages were on the truck out for delivery on Fri. I was told that one hadn't been processed and the others were out for delivery but it wouldn't be Monday.

    I learned that the UPS in our area was off work Dec 29-Jan 2. WHAT!!! So our packages were just sitting at the distribution center and the updates they sent were bogus. They had no intentions of delivering them by the 1st. We had to leave town on Tuesday so had to make arrangement for our neighbors to get them and put them inside for us when they finally arrived on Wednesday. I am so down with this company. What sucks is that Amazon takes responsibility for UPS and their bad management and refunds money for late orders. So unfair that they pay for UPS's poor service.

    In another episode of "UPS Incompetence" we have another failed delivery. I was supposed to receive a delivery shipped next day air. It was shipped 12/31 so I did not expect it until Jan 2 which was fine. On Jan 2 I checked on the package. It was still in transit but expected to be delivered. Well, that didn't happen. I got an update saying the address was incorrect. After messing around with their automated system, I finally got to talk to someone - in the Philippines. Why can't I speak to someone in the United States? He said if I wanted to talk to someone in the US I would have to call again and maybe that would happen. So I did. I called again and got someone who spoke poor English. This person wouldn't even tell me where they were. I gave them the info. I had to verify the ship to address. She said that is what was on the shipping info. REALLY!! NO KIDDING!!!

    I get deliveries there on a regular basis. For some reason, the driver today either: 1. Can't read; or 2: Is just too damn lazy to do the job!! I'm guessing the second option is correct. I told the customer service person I wanted to speak to a supervisor. After a couple minutes, I ended up talking to another person who couldn't speak English very well. Actually, this person spoke worse than the first person!! I had to verify the address AGAIN!! Is this person too incompetent to see that was already done? I told this individual (SUPPOSEDLY a Supervisor) that I want the package delivered today.

    He said he would see what could be done. It might be today or tomorrow. Next Day Air service was paid for. I want the service paid for!!! I told him I want to speak to a local supervisor. He said he passed the info on and I should hear from them in an hour. I'm betting it won't happen. UPS is becoming one of the most incompetent service companies out there.

    We have a number of these occasions over the holidays, where UPS will say that they tried to deliver a package but that nobody was present - and so they will try again. The truth is, somebody was home all day, no signature is required for the packages, even after saying about one of the deliveries that nobody was available to receive the package - the next day the male driver called saying he "couldn't find the house." Yet he tried to deliver it the day before? These people are so dishonest. The most recent "attempt" at delivery was 12/31, tracking number **. My parents were eating dinner right by the door when the supposed UPS person attempted delivery.

    UPS drivers are not monitored like USPS or FedEx. They may have GPS tracking devices that show when they place something into delivery attempt but these things are rarely looked at. It is starting to become common for a UPS driver to be running late on deliveries and just drive by a facility and place a package as delivery attempt without even stopping. It is also common for them to not even be on the same street. You can usually not talk to anyone to help because most facilities close while the drivers are still in route.

    Therefore when the facility closes and you have not received your package yet, there is a good chance you will not get it that day. There is good reason that they have such a poor rating and its astonishing that they are still in business. It does not matter if you are sitting on your porch when they claim delivery attempt. It's such a common complain now that they just say sorry and that you will receive package the next day. They have a whole slew of other excuses they will pull out if you press the issue like, wrong address, or street blocked, or something of this nature. My advice for anyone reading this, do not use UPS. Enough people doing this will force better service.

    WOW what nightmare this week has been dealing with United Parcel Service, the service part is a joke. Package was scheduled to be delivered on Friday the 28th by end of day. According to UPS tracking website my package was picked up at 10:30 Friday morning, plenty of time to deliver right, wrong, never received it. I checked the website and it says an Emergency occurred or bad weather, well it’s less than 20 miles away and it’s clear and sunny so no weather issues, figured I would get an update on Saturday.

    By 2:00 no update, so I call to try and get an update, after speaking to two different people I finally got to speak to a supervisor who still could not give me an update but assured me somebody would call me back in the next hour, no call ever came. So I figured on Monday there would be an update but no still lame excuse. What does this company think everybody is dumb or something? Finally got through to an actual person online today Monday only to be informed they have no idea when my package will be delivered, so I asked multiple times how to lodge a complaint to corporate headquarters only to be told that I have to file my complaint with the office who messed up the delivery.

    Now why do I think corporate UPS will never hear my complaint, real stupid ineffective process. However person online assured me it will happen and corporate will hear my complaint. Just received a call from a person from UPS who said they will deliver my package today, didn’t even bother to let them know there are more than one and the reason I needed that package was for the company that already left, you can bet I will not use UPS to send them there gift in question.

    Anyway I asked the person that is delivering my package how do I file a complaint with corporate and was told that all complaint would just come back to her, corporate would never receive my complaint, imagine that, obviously corporate UPS has their head in the sand and thinks nobody ever has issues or they know they are messed up and is tired of receiving complaints. Only way to make myself be heard is to start asking companies I buy from if they use UPS for delivery, if they do and don’t have an alternative then take my business elsewhere. This is the fourth issue I’ve had with them and none have been resolved successfully.

    Ordered 3 things off Amazon, coming from same location, 1 through USPS and 2 through UPS. Received shipment through USPS 4 days after order. Still waiting on UPS...week and half later. So it is Monday, package arrived at distribution center (with in 1 mile of my house) on Saturday morning...they are closed Saturday, Sunday, and since Monday and Tuesday is new years eve and new years I have to wait till Wednesday before I can pick it up/have it delivered...so for 4 days it will sit there, less than a mile away from me and I can't do nothing. I see FedEx is delivering. The post office is delivering. How is UPS still in business considering it is the slowest shipping business out there. Never using them again.

    Don't ever order anything 3-Day Select from UPS. They don't even initiate the shipment until 3 days later so what's the point of paying extra for a guaranteed shipping date that they never meet? I ordered a NYE dress a week before the holiday, paid extra for 3-Day Select shipping as it was guaranteed to be here by Friday (the 28th). Shipped out on the day it was supposed to arrive and now it won't arrive until after the holiday. What a complete waste of money, time and empty promises. Thanks for nothing, UPS.

    Back in mid-November, I was surprised to see when I tracked my shipment of two bottles of engine cleaners that I was returning to the seller for refund was marked as damaged and discarded by UPS. I was later informed when I called their customer service number that the bottles were open and there was insufficient packaging so they had to throw it away. Therefore, since it was my fault I would not qualify for a claim.

    Well, first thing is the bottles were new and still sealed with a plastic cap that you have to pull to tear off the seal. Second, they were wrap with several layers of packing paper. This was not my first shipment, as I have sold several items on eBay before. The only way that the bottle(s) was/were leaking would be that package was damaged through their handling.

    To add insult to injury, contacting UPS customer service is a joke. I was transferred seven times with each representative stating that it was not their department that handle claims. Also, when they put me on hold during one of the call transfers, naturally the call ended for no reason and I had to start all over again. Be forewarned, Use FedEx, DHL, or USPS at least when considering shipping. Use UPS as a last alternative.

    Not that anyone at UPS cares or even gives a ** but one of the points in the tracking service is knowing when your item is going to arrive so that it doesn't sit on your porch all day just begging for someone to steal it! Checked on my tracking this morning and it said it arrived at the UPS in my area and was out for delivery. Come 8pm they changed it and now it says it arrived in the late pm. I put my affairs on hold all day as to not have my package sitting outside just to have them LIE and change the time! Such BS!!! At least be truthful and just state that it couldnt be delivered, that I can respect! But to LIE about it as if the other posting of it having arrived was never there is ridiculous and dishonest. I have no respect for a company that will LIE just to save face.

    UPS is the best shipping option in the industry. My recent experiences with FEDEX prove this. If you have a choice, you should choose UPS. Our company (LuLaRoe) used to use UPS and recently switched to FedEx. Oh how I wish they would switch back to UPS. Using UPS for over a year, they NEVER lost a package and they delivered EVERY package on time or early. In just a few months with FedEx, they have already lost several of our packages and have yet to deliver a single package on time, let alone early. If you have a choice, choose UPS.

    I haven't had much experience with UPS until recently. I have had 4 packages delivered by them, and had to fight with customer service to get each and every one. First, every single package arrived later than promised. Then, the driver kept wanting to take my packages to an "access point" several miles from my house instead of leaving it with the apartment complex office like every other carrier does if I am not home. I specified multiple times over the phone and online that I did not want my packages taken to this "access point" (which by the way is a gas station) but that didn't matter.

    Every customer service rep is rude and most barely speak English. I was even hung up on twice because I demanded my packages be redelivered instead of having to go to that stupid access point. If I wanted to go pick up my purchases, I would drive to the store, not pay someone to take them somewhere else for me to pick up. Ugh. So over UPS and I will never purchase from anyone who uses them to ship again.

    Ordered two different items, one from TX the other from CA. Both arrived to their local distribution warehouse in reasonable time. The one from TX has been sitting in Shrewsbury, MA on 12/24/18 at 7:30am. It's now 12/27/18 at 2pm and it's still in Shrewsbury, MA. When I call they said "that's the date we will deliver it" (12/28/18), 3 whole days after it arrived to ship.

    The second was a shipment from CA. It arrived in Chelmsford, MA on 12/27/18 at 11am. This warehouse is the warehouse that all packages in my area come from. According to the claim rep it will not be delivered until 1/2/19. Why is it going to sit in a warehouse for 6 days. They can deliver it for the next 3 days. The excuse I got was "it's in a truck with 5000 packages." Ok but if it shows it arrived in that location means it's been scanned in so it's out of the truck and it's ready to be shipped. I was told I could not even pick it up until 1/2/19. Chelmsford is 1/2 hr from me. Poorest and most unreasonable shipping company I have ever dealt with. Their customer service is horrible.

I tried to be understanding, but with a company that is so underhanded you CANNOT be understanding, you must watch them through every step otherwise you WILL not get what you want and when.

They then told me that my package had NEVER LEFT THE FACILITY despite my app tracking the package saying it was out for delivery and the vendor sending me frequent updates on the status of tracking saying it was due to be delivered as well.

    In addition, I received an update around 10 prompting me to call saying my package would be delivered the day after Christmas. I then question the new representative of how this could be as he was claiming there was no in the facility, and my package was never shipped. He was implying that the system changed the status of my package at 10pm at night even though he insisted the facility closed at 6pm. Then I must wonder, why did it ever say "out for delivery" if it never left the facility? I am completely disgusted to be paying for 3 day shipping and lied to.

    This is my 4th horrible experience with this company. First time, I was doing a remodel on my kitchen and ordered a custom made oven out of California. The delivery person dropped my oven in my driveway leaving a ton of broken glass in my driveway. He put the broken oven and box back in his truck and left stating it had been delivered. Luckily I have surveillance cameras and was able to capture the entire incident on camera. I contacted UPS and informed them of what happened, they tried to make excuses but couldn’t deny what was on camera.

    Long story short, the company resent another oven only to wait 5 more days tracking the package when a message appeared stating the package was damaged and couldn’t be delivered. At that point I went with another company with a different carrier. Next, I ordered a Apple Watch on Dec 2, 2017 from Costco with a delivery day of Dec 7, 2017. I kept checking the website which stated it was in transit. It's now Dec 12, 2017. I called UPS to see what the problem was and was placed on hold and transferred numerous times and no could explain where my package was. Was told to give it a few more days. Dec 19, 2017 still no package and no new updates.

    At this point I called Costco, cancelled the entire thing and went to Apple Store to purchase it as it was a Christmas present for my husband and couldn’t wait any longer on these idiots. Next, I ordered a package from Fingerhut as a Christmas present this year. Dec 12, 2018 was picked up on the 17th and a delivery date of Dec 22, 2018. I waited all day.

Ultimately, I had to call the company that did its job and shipped on time, find out what my options are, re-purchase the item this time with in-store pick-up, and will have to refuse UPS delivery whenever they finally get around to delivering the package.

Besides the horrible customer servicing taking 50 minutes to figure that out, besides the fact that they have ruined my chance at giving this present to the attended recipient before Christmas, I paid $40 to have it arrive today which is more than the entire present cost. I then sat for 15 minutes on hold with them waiting to talk to someone who I was transferred to about getting a refund for that wasted shipping fee.

    Finally when the lady came on the line she said they do not handle refunds and I would have to have the company I purchased it from submit a form to UPS to get me a refund. I then asked for a manager, only to be told it would be over an 1 hour wait time to talk to one.

    Ordered from Best Buy overnight shipping (UPS Next Day Air Saver) on DEC 19. Delivery was scheduled for the 20th. According to Best Buy UPS did not make their scheduled pick up on the 19th, but I can’t confirm that so I’ll leave it alone. Package ships in the AM on DEC 20. DEC 21 at 8 AM I show that the package has arrived in DFW heading to Houston. ETA DEC 21. Then at 1020 AM a delivery exception happens. Truck did not make it to DFW in time. At this point I still totally understand; it’s the Holidays. Delays happen. I start to call UPS support to ask if I can get the package delivered to the main office at my apartments so my wife and I can travel for Christmas. UPS CSR tells me that actually the package is already in Houston and is in the dispatch center closest to me! Says it will deliver today.

    So now the tracking is a literal mess. They end up readjusting the tracking because at one point today they had a package scan in DFW and Houston within minutes of each other. These cities are 4 hours away. So... I wait around. Tracking on the web shows just an arrival scan at the local dispatch office. But ETA still shows today by end of day. At this point I just want to know if the package is coming or not so we can travel. And by the way, the UPS app says Out For Delivery... So nothing matches at this point.

    I call UPS support once more to try and find out what is going on as it’s nearing 6 PM local time. UPS CSR tells me since their truck was late arriving in DFW, the package arrived too late at the dispatch center today to be put on a truck and it WILL NOT deliver today. Mind you, EVERYTHING else says ETA today by end of day and varies from saying arrived at local dispatch to out for delivery.

    At this point I ask the UPS CSR, "Can we just have the delivery routed to the main office of my apt because I really need to be going now and then now, the contents of the package are valuable. And I’ll be gone for several days." UPS tells me, "Nope! Must be done with the shipper." Best Buy! I ask, "Can I just come pick it up because my package is evidently 10 minutes away at a distribution center." But I am told no. Even though I paid for Next Day Air Shipping... I get to wait until the next business day... Monday! So I call Best Buy who tell me according to their records... The package is set to deliver TODAY.

    At this point to say I’m exhausted with UPS and their CSRs is a massive understatement. They only seem to have the same tracking info that’s on the website and can literally do NOTHING for you other than repeat what’s on the website. Moving forward, if UPS is who a shipper is using, I’ll ask for someone else. We already use FedEx at my job and know why? Because they rarely miss their promised delivery dates and when you call their CSRs, they can give you information. They can make things happen. UPS customer support really doesn’t do anything except place you on hold with music for a half hour and repeat over and over the same info on their website and do nothing to help you get the status of your package. If you really don’t care about it being on-time or having accurate tracking then maybe UPS is a good choice for you.

    As of last night my package was in state and in route to me to be delivered today. Now somehow my package is not coming for another week from another state! UPS Customer service can’t explain to me where my package went that was less than an hour from my house in NJ and is now coming from Ohio and taking another week. They said and I quote "they decided that it would be redelivered this way" what??? It was never delivered. Sooo sometime between the two towns they would have to drive to deliver my package which was on route as of 2 am for delivery today "it was decided" that it would go to Ohio and get redelivered after Christmas on the 26th... Yes mamma that's what happened omg!!! Do they even hear what they are saying. Try to get a straight answer. All they do is repeat the same illogical nonsense and put you on hold for 30 min at a pop.

    Just got a notice on our door that, even though there were 3 of us at home waiting on a package for Christmas and sitting where we could hear either a ring or a knock, somehow ups is “sorry they missed us”. I went outside 30 minutes after they supposedly tried it get us and saw the notice stuck to the door and then spent the next 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get in touch with an actual person at UPS and then the next 30 minutes trying to talk to them.

    Apparently the only options when the driver has decided that your bell isn’t worth ringing is to wait on the untrustworthy drivers for another business day (this doesn’t work when you have taken a day off of work specifically to get your package) or have it left at a depot in the middle of nowhere and go in the next business day to pick it up. But you can’t pick it up at a normal hour- only between 7 and 9am on a weekday, which is not easy with small children in tow. I have had such wonderful experiences with FedEx and Canada Post that this is horribly frustrating and unacceptable. I will never use UPS again and will be avoiding buying online from any company that ships with them in the future, and will be advising my company and all of my associates to do the same.

    I work for a book distributor. We rent textbooks to colleges and high schools so we depend on our products being picked up and delivered on time. Since we reuse rental merchandise it is very important that we be able to give accurate tracking information to our clients. Today alone UPS missed 3 pickups and cost us tens of thousands of dollars. We may have to wait nearly a month for our merchandise to be picked up as schools are closing for Christmas and New Year. Customer service and dispatchers really don't care and can't provide basic information as to why service contracts are not honored. The excuse I got today was "we don't go there every day." So what? We arranged a pickup and therefore you knew we wanted this done on a particular day at a particular time and even if you can't get there on the day, contact the people paying for the service so they know.

    I've been relying on U.P.S. for years. As a result they're sometimes being the only shipping option offered through various vendors and merchants and I can say with confidence that U.P.S. is extremely consistent in their delivery process. They suck 97% of the time. They hold packages until the last date shown on delivery time scale. Years ago without easy tracking methods at hand through the internet, we couldn't determine just were a package was sitting waiting to be brought to your home or office. Now one can see that the package can be sitting for days in your very city at their shipping station before they will deliver it. It may have only taken two or three days to get there from across county, but if there is still a week left on the shipping timeline you most often won't receive it until that last date.

    Their website is purposely vague and cryptic as to trying to enlist help, or even make complaints. Their consumer complaints phone line operators are mostly polite, but are extremely adept at transferring your call to the moon and back with little to none resolution. Oh, and they will hang up on you at the slightest provocation. WARNING: Show no signs of irritation at their tactics else you will be hung up on. Their delivery people are no better than 19th century dock loaders who will toss packages in the snow, leave them in questionably safe surroundings and seldom if ever actually bring the package up to the office or floor you are on. Oh, and forget about them knocking or ringing doorbells - you pay extra for that service.

    God forbid the congress is ever successful at breaking down the U.S. Postal Service. As U.P.S. is probably the next in line to win that government contract, and they won't saddle U.P.S. with the 75 year pension prepayment requirement (known as the poison pill technique in business circles). Yep, the Postal service was actually in the black until the end of 2006 when the outgoing congress saddled them with it and it was quickly ratified and signed by the president. After that when the post office was having an incredibly difficult time meeting this requirement, they had to increase rates, decrease services and close offices. All we were told is that the Postal Service was not able to run efficiently and tsk tsk, must be signs of their demise. And, we fell for it.

    I made a purchase to Giuseppe Zanotti on November 23rd. My package was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday, November 27 - a day that I was home to receive the package. I was informed that there was a delay and UPS attempted to deliver the next day. I made arrangements to have them return the package to the Bedford Park location. I was told to pick up after 7 pm. When I arrived, I was informed that it had not returned to location. I returned to pick up the following Monday, (the facility is closed on Weekends) only to be told that my package was lost and to file a lost claim with UPS. I sat in their parking lot on that Monday, December 3rd to file the claim. Once I returned home, I sent Giuseppe an email regarding the missing merchandise, as a representative was not available after business hours. I followed up with a call the following morning and they opened a missing claim as well.

    A message was left on my phone from someone named Brian at the Bedford Park location on Friday, December 7 regarding my package, however I did not hear the message until Saturday, when they were closed. I returned the call on Monday, and the lady mentioned that my package was returned to the Sender. I've been communicating with Giuseppe and have been told by several representatives that they are waiting for UPS to resolve the claim. I've also spoken with several representatives from UPS and I've been told that it takes 10 business days to complete an investigation. Ten days has passed and still no resolution. I spoke with someone today and was told that the investigation was opened on December 12. That is untrue, when I made the initial claim on December 3rd! It should not take a package a month to be delivered when it was scheduled for 2-day expedited shipping.

    I no longer want the shoes because I am beyond exasperated by this entire debacle of a process that neither can seem to resolve. I just want my money back.

    The organizational structure of UPS’s customer service apparatus is thoroughly ineffective because it repeatedly fails to address the incorrect sorting and delivering of packages at their source – that is, the UPS local service centers and their delivery drivers. In dealing with UPS over the last several years, it has become clear to me that even their own customer service supervisors are denied easy and/or reliable access to the managerial staff at the local sorting facilities when needed.

    I don’t blame the UPS customer service reps for this at all, but rather the company’s failed customer service model. If my package is being repeatedly mis-sorted, mis-delivered, or stuck interminably “in transit,” I don’t need to speak to someone in a remote call center who has no direct knowledge of, or control over, the issue at hand. Rather, I need to speak to an onsite service rep who knows what’s going on, and who is able to address the problem at its source. This is just common sense. I am an office manager for a small company based in Texas, and UPS has now lost my business – both personally and professionally. Wake up, UPS – your customer service is a joke. Stop wasting your money on useless surveys and overseas call centers, and instead invest in the adequate staffing and training of your personnel at the local level.

    My packaged was shipped from the company it came from on time and I was told I would have my package in 5 business days. My package did not arrive within those days but I was given a delivery date by UPS. I still have not received it almost 4 days later. I have called customer service 3 times now and they continue to give the same answer that it will be there shortly and that my package is in transit (it has been in transit for 4 days with no updates or whereabouts) but can't give me a date or time for when that will be or where my package is? They told me they forgot to ship half their packages last week so those will miss their delivery dates. This is ridiculous. It's been 2 and a half weeks longer than what it should have been and they still cannot tell me how much longer it will be until I receive it.

    They were carrying my delivery around, passing by my address and never try to knock on the door or ring the bell, or call me, but they were CHANGING THE STATUS that they've attempted delivery - every time! I can say it for sure - I was working from home last month and never left during the day because was expecting my delivery. They were lying constantly that they are sorry and they'll fix the problem and call you first time in the morning and it took them a few days. The promised 3-5 business days delivery turned into 2 weeks delivery, and nobody cares except me, because I paid my money and want my package. 1 star is too much because I've got an impression that the service is dying and there are no people who're interested in happy customers or good reputation.

    My delivery from Amazon was delivered on December 5, 2018. We have a dirt driveway that runs about 300 feet off the road through some trees. Until now, my deliveries were always brought to the garage because we have adequate space to turn around. This package, however, was driven halfway down my driveway and then thrown into the woods. I had to search to find it buried in some leaves. Luckily it wasn't glass and it was only paper products but wow... Either way it's inexcusable.

    How is this company even in business. It has receive such bad reviews from so many customers. I have not even one good experience with them. The carriers determine if safe to leave package in front of residence door when they have no clue of the neighborhood. I was told by their reps when I ask how was it possible a package is left at a door and no one is home. I am sure they have some decent driver who use good judgment but unresponsible one are the majority and they still get to keep their job. It was so easy to land a job with them. All you need to do is not care where you leave a package as long as you leave it anywhere and then lie. Good job UPS. You are the best.

    I ordered a Christmas tree that was $200.00 but was on sale for $50.00 for Black Friday! I never received the package so I called UPS and the company that I got the tree from and they both said it was delivered to my house! And I never got it! Come to find out the UPS guy delivered it to my horrible neighbors next door and they took it and kept it! When I found out I went to their door and there was the tree I ordered up in their living room! I called UPS and told them what happen and they said oh well there is nothing they can do! The UPS guy said that he tried to talk to me about it and I was never home and that was a lie! Then now after they closed the investigation cause they said there was nothing they can do about it the UPS guy has went to other UPS guys and told them, "Yeah I took that tree to the wrong house and it was their neighbors that took it"!!!

    There are so many witnesses and evidence that my neighbors have it but UPS won't do anything about it even tho it was their fault! The company sold out of the tree I ordered so after UPS didn't do anything they gave me my money back thank gosh! But it's not fair that my neighbors gets a $200.00 Christmas tree for free and I'm still without a tree thanks to UPS! So if you get a package that's not yours they have pretty much made it clear that you can keep it because they are not going to do anything about it! This has really changed my mind about ordering things online!

    This is the 2nd year I've had this problem but the customer service person I was on the phone with for 30 minutes tonight really seemed like he had no idea what he was doing and in no hurry to resolve my problem. My package was out, got delivery a week ago and then went back to the distribution center and has been there ever since. He talked to his supervisor which must have told him to call the manager at the distribution center and she told him it was on a trailer and scheduled to be unloaded and not guaranteed for delivery tomorrow either.

    The UPS guy has delivered other packages to my house since then and this package has been stuck on a trailer instead of being delivered. I asked him what it was doing on a trailer since it had already been out for delivery a week ago and he said that is where it is stored. I really don't understand why such a large shipping company wouldn't have better facilities and a better system especially during the holiday season. I am understanding that my packages may be delayed during this time of year but this is ridiculous.

    If the drivers don't like their jobs they should quit. We have the RING video doorbell and it records motion as well as rings and our driver doesn't even attempt to deliver the package. He comes to the door with the door tag without even attempting to ring the doorbell. Disappointing when you rearrange your schedule to be home to accept a delivery for a gift needed for the following day. Tried contacting their support and all they can tell you is where to go pick it up and not even address the issue at hand. I understand Xmas is busy for them, but perhaps UPS needs to implement a system where customers can rate the drivers and when you catch them red-handed not even attempting to deliver the small package, they should be made to come back and hand it to me personally.

    Hi, My name is Merlin ** and I own a company in Costa Rica. I normally use DHL and UPS not too often but I do. Lately we have been using more UPS than your competitors, however I am a disappointed with your overall service here. First you take the decision to remove my area for door to door delivery so I have to send someone to meet your driver. And last Thursday Nov 29th one of your CS reps from the imports package delivery calls my office and tell us that a driver has a package for us but asking me "how we can make the delivery..." (Your reps need to start proactively suggesting a solution like meeting the driver at a convenient point, instead of just saying flat out, "We don't go there," and staying silent like they don't care because it is our problem not yours... That's the first chance to improve for you).

    So, on that call we agreed to meet somewhere in the capital but the UPS driver will call us to set a specific place, but that call never happened, Friday either... Today is Monday and I had to call to ask what was happening, but when I explained the CS rep over the phone of the situation the guy sounded like he did not care, no attempt to show empathy at all due to my situation (second chance to improve). The delay was due to customs random check (understandable) but what is not ok is the bad communication you have with your customers, as I was expecting at least a phone call informing on the situation (third chance to improve). Apologizing, showing empathy, acknowledge the customer's situation, good communication: you failed on all of that! But it's up to you if you wanna keep your customers happy or not.

It has been sitting in Columbia terminal since 5 a.m. yesterday morning and it's just now leaving to come to the Florence terminal. This is an overnight package that will actually take 3 days to deliver. I asked her why do they let someone pay for overnight delivery when the service is not even available and she told me that they haven't been paid for the service yet I would have to contact the person that shipped my package.

    I'm not an expert in logistics, but I'm pretty sure that a "Next Day Air Service" from Washington DC to New York shouldn't end up somewhere in South New Jersey before moving onto a trailer to "somewhere". Actually had some important documents sent into DC from China and Boston days prior as part of this document package to New York using DHL and Fedex respectively. DHL got my documents delivered within 40 hours from CHINA, and Fedex got mine shipped overnight from Boston within 18 hours.

    Now I've actually paid more for this UPS Next Day Air service than both DHL and Fedex, and they can't even deliver on the promised DAY even though the distance is the shortest between two of the largest cities in the US. Unbelievable how they can screw this up. Complete disappointment. Will never use UPS ever again. The one time I absolutely needed the guaranteed time delivery. Now I'm just hoping the documents aren't lost, since they are irreplaceable and the deadline has already passed.

    Ordered a chair and an Xbox controller from Amazon. They were shipped together. Due to receive the items on 11/26. I check the tracking at 12:00 pm, controller delivered at 11:45 am, chair an attempt was made at 11:43 am but no answer. Well issue one right there. Call customer service, they said they would call the driver to tell him to pull the chair off the truck and I could pick it up at a store 30 mins away.

    So I get to the store at 630pm they close at 7, ask where's my package. Get told that the driver never pulled the package off the truck and he won't be back until late that night, I can pick it up first thing in the morning. I informed them that it's a 30 min drive, he was going to "attempt" to deliver it again 11/27. Just keep it as delivery and make sure he leaves it at the office like he did for my controller. I log in today and it says in transit, I checked again at 10 am and they are saying end of day 11/28. I call them and say, "Hey since it's there I will just drive out there myself and pick it up because this is ridiculous." I get told that it's impossible. They can't make that change, and I have to wait till 11/28 because I made the change yesterday. Beyond ridiculous.

    I ordered a package to be shipped to one address. My job made me move unexpectedly. I tried to get UPS to change the shipping with UPS MyChoice like they said. I tried logging in repeatedly. My old address was still linked to my profile so I updated my information. Unfortunately by changing my address like I was told I locked myself out of the old package. When I called UPS to try and get this fixed the first customer service agent refused to help and then put me on hold for 30 min before disconnecting. The next one said it was my fault and that there was nothing he could do to help as my account now had two address and would never be able to get access to the other package. It was my fault.

    UPS the shipping company has created an environment where they do not have to deal with their end customers. They dictate things arbitrarily to franchisees, are very difficult to reach, and have no way to register a complaint. They refer all complaints to franchisees, who must abide by UPS's byzantine and conflicting processes and arbitrary decision making. If something does go wrong with a shipment, as it did with mine, there are no recourses. UPS has literally accepted my claim and then 'unaccepted' it multiple times over nearly 3 months.

    They are intractable, take no responsibility for contradictory processes, poor communication, and failures on their part. They do not reward any effort on the part of franchisee, in my situation, to provide customer service, referring all concerns back to the franchisee even though the actual issue is not with the franchisee but with UPS. I'm sorry to say that I will endeavor not to use UPS again for anything remotely valuable, and I will avoid using UPS for anything period.

    I spent more than a year making a large coffee table for my god-daughter for her wedding present. I disassembled it, paid for the UPS Store to package it and then shipped it from my home in PA to her home in TX. The experience with the UPS Store was just fine. That's when the problems started (with UPS shipping). My god-daughter was so excited to receive the shipment, only to find that the table top had been broken in half during shipping. Bad quality control certainly, but hey these things happen. Strike 1.

    I contacted my local UPS Store, and we agreed that the easiest and cheapest solution was to get it repaired locally (in TX), since it had been shipped nearly 2,000 miles. I found a reputable furniture repairer, who I'm sure could have fixed it easily at a modest cost. But first, UPS had to document the damage (though we had already sent pictures). UPS came to my god-daughter's house and picked up the table.

    About a week later, I get a call from my local UPS Store saying that UPS had shipped the broken table back to them (2,000 miles); what did I want them to do with it? They were as surprised as I was that UPS had chosen to ship back the broken table (without discussing it either with me or the sending UPS store). Strike 2.

    I agreed with my local UPS store that I would fix the table (at my cost) and then would ship it back to my god-daughter. When I got the box home and opened it, I found that other than the broken table-top, seven of the eight other parts of the table (4 legs and 3 apron pieces) were missing, apparently lost in return shipment. Strike 3. Amidst these three pieces of horrible service, never a word from UPS. Wow... I had always respected UPS and trusted them to carry my important packages. Sorry to say I can't do that any longer.

    It's pretty sad when two packages are missed, dropped in less than a month because somebody doesn't know how to do their job of reading a box stating the correct address. Even in the computer it has the correct address but the driver seems to not realize what road they are on and deliver packages I guess wherever they feel like. Do not use UPS even if you have to drive 5000 miles just to pick up a package it's worth $0.02. Trust me. I will never use UPS for anything again.

    I had to spend 1 hour travel today to track down a small package that should have been delivered to my door. The manufacturer had to sent me a replacement part for a furniture I purchased. It was tiny little screw less than 3 cm. I waited and didn't receive the item. I used the tracking info and was horrified to see that the item was delivered to an access point and that I have until the 15th to pick it up or it'd be sent back to the manufacturer. When I went to the access point, the guy at the counter was condescending, saying I should have been checking my tracking information all the time, when clearly UPS had failed to give me a notice.

    I asked him why the parcel wasn't delivered to my address, wondering perhaps the sender didn't put down the right address. He said, "No, it was meant to be delivered to my address." And that the driver either think it was unsafe to leave the item or my landlord took down the notice because it was unsightly, or that the parcel requires a signature.

    These claims were completely BS. When I looked over the tracking details, it appeared that driver attempted delivery on Thursday afternoon around 2 pm. Our building has 24/7 concierge and the property management is also open during this time. How would this be considered "unsafe" to leave the parcel? He could have asked someone for direction to the mail room and the item could have easily fitted into the mailbox (which can only be accessed by me with a key). On top of that, my building is not a rental property, so there is no "landlord" who would try to take down my notice, and no this particular parcel did not require my signature.

    What's more interesting when I looked at tracking record closely, on the day of "attempted delivery", the location indicated it was at a city 1 hour drive away from my actual address. So it would appear the driver totally went to the wrong address to begin with, so probably the notice was left at a random address there? Really not impressed. Will not consider this service again.

Called another time and I was told they were holding it for pick up. It appears the feedback/requests from customer are queued in a sequential way. The messages are dispatched late in the process. So they started processing my comments 4 days after the package was returned by truck driver following three attempts to old address. It has been a nightmare.

    Last week me and my wife and son traveled from Philippines to Thailand. When we arrived at the Philippines airport we realized we left my wife's suitcase at the hotel. There was no time to get it before our flight so we decided to go ahead and we will have it couriered over the next day. I called a friend I know staying in Pampanga, Philippines. He retrieved our suitcase took it home then called UPS. He filled all forms online and was told (online) that the pickup schedule was 9:00 next morning so he waited all day. No pick up the next day he called them direct. They promise to pick it up next day. When the driver finally arrived he was told he had to print out his application from the online process so they promised they will be back next day 9:00. He printed all the forms the next day. No show so late in the afternoon he called them up. He was told their truck broke down they will get there 9:00 pm that eve. still no show.

    Finally on the next day they came picked it up. He had to pay some cash 700 (approx 15 USD) and was promised it will arrive at the address we were staying at in 2 days. This was a big relief because that suitcase had all my wife's clothes and personal things in it. He also gave me the tracking number and emailed me a copy of the receipt. I pre-paid for the shipment (Approx 150 USD.) then 2 days later we get a call here in Thailand from the UPS office in Bangkok. The guy at the other end of the phone spoke no English. Lucky for me I had a Thai friend who could talk with the UPS guy. We were told our suitcase had arrived but before they can finish delivering it I had to go to Bangkok (about 3 hours by private car) to show my passport for customs... I was never told this at all.

    I was promised it would be delivered direct to the hotel I was staying but I thought at least we have our suitcase so I hired a car 200 USD for the day asked my Thai friend if they can come with me for translation and off we went. Then when we finally found the UPS cargo office the guy says I have to pay another 3000 Thai Baht Approx 90 USD and they want my passport then they will deliver in 3 days. I was very upset at that point. I was actually willing to pay the 3000 baht but I did not want to trust them with my passport. I asked, “Can I go to customs with you so I can keep the passport on my person.” They said all impossible. The UPS guy called his boss then I was told I could keep my passport but now it was going to cost an extra 7000 Thai Baht (approx 200 USD).

    I tried to explain I had already paid in Philippines was supposed to be delivered to my hotel, the UPS guy just said, “I do not understand Thailand and that is how it works here.” I said I Know I do not understand. That is why I hired UPS to do all this logistics for me. And if this was the procedure why was none of this told to us in Philippines beforehand. It was really triggering red lights in my head. I surely was not going to leave my passport. I’m thinking when they do deliver they could ask some scary amount and not give me my passport until I paid. So we decided to cut our losses and we give up and still no suitcase. I guess we will have to go shopping buy my wife all new clothes tomorrow. Thank for nothing UPS!

The date changed to one day later (no big deal). It did not arrive on that date, so I checked tracking and they missorted my package and it ended up almost 17 hrs away from my home. Customer service was nice enough, but refused to fix the issue by upgrading the package and would not let me speak to the manager that made the decision. They are now stating that it will not be here until 4 days after his birthday. (We'll see if that happens). My kids are going to be heartbroken.

    I waited for a delivery that did make it on the promised date. I then paid $5 to change the delivery date. The date was established and missed again. When I called Customer Service I was given all sorts of promises which, once again, were not fulfilled. I then asked the disposition of my package and was, once again, asked for $5 to change the delivery. I did not pay for the scam the 2nd time around. Terrible service. If I could, I would tell every one of my vendors I would not do business with them if they didn't find a better way to ship than UPS. Terrible!

    UPS said that they deliver my package and also they attempted as well which never happened. I lost my package which cost $1600, when I called them they do not give me an answer. Indeed, this is my second time they lost my package, they lost before my new iPhone and they did not gave me refund because they claim that I did not insure the package.

    Guaranteed delivery for a Saturday was a fail. Tracking showed in transit with a delivery time that had come and gone. No accountability within UPS for the incompetence they have. Basically saying "whatever". Will never use UPS again for my business.

    Bunch of imbeciles. Drivers are incompetent and customer service are morons. None of these people know how to do their job. The tracking would say "attempted delivery" which was a lie. No one tried delivering anything, someone was home every time they "attempted delivery". Called customer service and they were utterly useless. This back and forth went on for 2 weeks until they finally "destroyed" my package when they failed to deliver it in the first place.

    I ordered shoes for my boys that they really needed because the old ones they were outgrowing and worn out. I was supposed to receive them Saturday which was great because school starts back on Monday so right on time right?! WRONG! Because they sent the package to the wrong post office I will not receive their shoes until Monday evening. Only reason I found this out is because late Saturday I noticed they had not been delivered so I tracked it and found out myself. Very inconvenient and when something like this happens they should contact you whether you are signed up for notifications electronically or not. I am so annoyed at this point and is not the first time I have had an issue with them. They are lucky the store picks the shipping company bc if it were up to me it would be FedEx!

    I'm writing this from my honest opinion. The UPS failed to deliver my parcel yesterday and left an info notice on my apartment front door which indicates that I can sign to allow the delivery person to leave my parcel in front of my apartment door on the next delivery day. In order to get my parcel today I stayed home all times and found that the tracking update says the receiver was not available at the time of the second delivery attempt. WHAT THE HELL? I stayed home this whole day and no one knocked on my door. I even signed on at the back of the info notice to allow the delivery person to just leave my package and go.

    Since I really need this parcel today so I contacted the UPS and one rude lady said they refused to listen to me, insisting that the delivery person did knock on my door because it's their protocol. When I mentioned the delivery guy can just leave my parcel and go, the lady immediately said it's a dangerous area so they couldn't do that. WHAT THE HELL? The box by the description of parcel left without receiver's presence was checked by the driver on the info notice! This lady refused to accept the reality and ignored the fact that they had done a really awful training their delivery people. While I was trying to argue what's really happening, the lady hung up on me. That's how one of the biggest delivery services in America treated their customers.

    UPS has got to have the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. The driver drove by my house which is clearly marked. Only to say the address doesn’t exist. But I find out it’s more of it an it’s 5 o’clock story and he wants to go home instead of finishing the deliveries. Called the customer care line only to be told they can’t do anything, added to talk to a supervisor only to be hung up on 3 times.

    I had a bed in the box delivered today. I saw the driver lay the box down horizontally in front of my garage. I asked him to stop leaving my packages on the driveway (facing the road) because people are stealing packages and I have hit a few coming out of my garage not seeing them... Before I could finish and state I can't get out of my garage if he leaves it there, he looked at me and said he normally leaves them on the porch, got in his truck and took off. If they can't handle properly delivering heavy packages, then they shouldn't deliver them. I had to call a friend to help me move the box.

    Verizon chose UPS to deliver a phone to my elderly mother. The first delivery attempt was made on 10/23/18, but my mother was unable to make it to the door before the driver had left. I called UPS and explained that she was home, but couldn't get to the door due to her age. UPS was very courteous and responded that they would deliver again the next day, but there was no delivery window and they couldn't even tell me if it would be before or after 12 noon. On 10/24/18, she stayed close to the door and even placed her dog in the porch, to warn her of any visitors. She is positive that no attempt to deliver was made, but according to UPS, there was no answer. Since Mom is still very sharp, I tend to believe what she says. At 5:30 on the 24th I contacted UPS and explained the situation again.

    They again were very courteous and promised that a representative would contact me within the hour and someone would dispatch the delivery to her that evening. Both statements were lies. At 9:00 am 10/24/18, I spoke with another UPS representative, who was also very courteous and promised another attempt, but could not give me anything other than 8 am-8 pm delivery window (Seriously)! After rehashing the situation, the representative agreed the driver would contact me an hour before delivery, which I responded with gratitude.

    Another representative contacted soon after to tell that the package was out for delivery, but no attempt to contact me would be made, since drivers don't do that. Bottom line: UPS EMPLOYS COURTEOUS REPRESENTATIVES THAT INTENTIONALLY DECEIVE ITS CUSTOMERS. I believe a majority of customers grow weary and give up. I WILL NOT! I have contacted Verizon and they have agreed to ship my order through FEDEX! Thank you Verizon for giving me a choice.

    I got up and sat in my front room all day waiting on my package. The home is a duplex that is not labeled. The time by and the packaged was tracked. The answering service said the package had been deliver at 10:40 am and no one was there. I was home all day. The driver went to one door and decided to leave a note there. I know this because I walked outside and saw the note on the next door. He should have had enough sense to knock on both doors. I called the center repeatedly and I was told the driver was gonna bring it back. I am very upset because the package was not delivered and the center lied to me. I will do my best to never use UPS again and I will tell all my friends and family not to use them either.

    I have never had such a horrible experience with receiving a package in my life. I ordered something online and their delivery carrier is through UPS. I requested it be left at my doorstep, but when I got home I found that it was not. I called the customer service number and was informed that the driver “decided” he didn't feel comfortable leaving it. That's already an issue, because I don't stay in a bad area and if I REQUEST that it be left at my door then that's what they should've done.

    Then I request for them to leave it at the facility for me to go pick it up as soon as the store opens the next day. (EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PAID FOR IT TO BE SHIPPED TO ME!!!) I call the facility to make sure my package is there and the guy tells me that my request hasn't been processed and to wait for the facility to call me back when it has. I wait, but no one calls me... So I call back & the gentleman tells me my package is no longer even at the facility!!! I speak to a supervisor... Who basically tells me that I have to wait another hour for someone to call me back... Which doesn't resolve anything. They are just horrible.

    I have used UPS many times over the years, I also have been using them less and less over the last few years! My worst experience was using them to overnight a food package around Christmas ($80 shipping) only to have it arrive a week later! Not even so much as we are sorry! Today I was expecting a much needed part for my vehicle that was another overnight package ($20+). I was told their label didn't have a unit number on it, so it couldn't be delivered. Why I don't know, my PayPal account that I use constantly does, it was used for this transaction. The seller sent me a confirmation of the order with the shipping address just as it should be! Again no apology, and a rather indignant "these are our policies for your safety" not even an offer of a partial refund or any type of compensation for any inconvenience.

    I contacted the seller asking who addresses the label because of UPS' claim of an incomplete address. They confirmed the complete address on their information, and proceeded to offer me a full refund of shipping for any inconvenience that it may have caused me! Funny how the seller apologizes and refunds my shipping costs yet the actual carrier doesn't do either!

I'll been waiting about a week to receive some very important business files, certificates and forms from the secretary of State. I believed UPS would fulfill the task of safely transporting them to me. In result, UPS driver provides me another's mail after I simply gave them my ID via stating that my tracking number said today but he refused to look.

    I then called UPS, some guy passed along the message. I then received a call about a hour later. That guy then call the UPS drivers who then said they have my package. Although he refused at first that it could had been a different UPS. He again TALKED to the drivers and that they will be coming back to deliver later on around 730. (It's only 4.00) Let's be serious, he knew this was a lie to begin with. They Never came and I they close at 8.00, Wow, really.

    I am giving two stars because they do deliver. But there are a lot things not right there. I ordered a thing from Costco fairly big and expensive. And it comes with 3 boxes. Box 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3. The schedule delivery date is on Friday. And they only tell you delivered by the End of the day. (So means I have to wait from 8 AM till 8 PM) So, I have to stayed home for the package because it is huge. I cannot pick it up. And UPS came drop the packages on my porch around noon. I was like, ok I may go to work. That is the nightmare began. Only 2 Boxes. And I saw labels on them are 1 and 3. Cannot find the number 2.

    Follow tracking, and the 2 is delivered to another town. How can that be possible. Called UPS around 4 PM and nice lady said the driver might have made mistake. And will call me back about an hour. No one calls me back. I went out for dinner. And the tracking was like first attempt failed (no one home), that was around 8PM. So UPS didn't call me back let me know they are coming back and who know when they are going to do what? So second delivery scheduled for Monday, again by the end of day. So I waited in home. Of course I am not going to sit next to the door and need to do work. I felt bad to work from home 2 days on the row...

    So Monday, I waited at home and post note that call me with number **. And wait for whole day check the tracking page around 5 PM. Another exception that they couldn't deliver because Business is closed (Simply means no one home in my case). I am in my house and I didn't hear anything. Or you want me to sit there whole day long for UPS?

    Call UPS, the CS won't care my complains. Just stated the options that they can offer me. Reschedule for next day or any other day (with by the end of day condition). Ask Me to pick it up (Huge item that my car won't fit). That is it. CS offers nothing else... Not even try to offer to deliver my complain to their complain department. So, I am stuck with no help... Amazon will tell estimate time and how many stops till to your place. UPS just whole day business for you because they don't know and there is no customer facing service to know where is the driver and how close they are and how long we have to wait.

    I sent a package overseas to Thailand for $160.00. I made sure that I had everything paid for, because I was sending old but nice clothing/purses. When it was arrived they didn't notify the receiving party, and she only knew because of the tracking which stated it was still in customs. She finally contacted them, and she was charged the holding cost of $170 from UPS. In addition there were fees from Thailand customs. They were expecting the receiver to pay almost $300. This was for used clothing I was hoping to give my family members to help them. In addition I send family photos. I was forced to abandon my belongings. If I wanted it returned it would've cost me $225. What a rip off!!!

I called the customer service who tried to tell me it was attempted lucky I have security cameras and reviewing the film. I have no UPS person on video, I do have FEDEX and USPS bringing packages. on hold over 50 mins I was then told the drivers had gone home and they could not give me any information. But after a long debate said it would be delivered Saturday.

    Today I stay home and wait after calling UPS customer service I find out the local office is not delivering Saturday, and the customer service person had lied to me and there is no Saturday delivery. Again I was misled and LIED to. UPS is a second rate carrier with nothing but LIES for its customers, not to be trusted. Please use USPS or FEDEX. They will let you know what the real issues are weather, time, or driver error. Never have I had them just upright lie and have a second supervisor explain I had been lied to.

    Amazon promised or guaranteed my delivery to be on the 19th. 2 day delivery from Amazon. Ordered the product early on the 17th 8 a.m. Product was not shipped till 8 p.m. that day. When I got the notice the product was shipped it said delivery day was Monday because I had asked for a delivery change which I never did. At least that's what UPS told the Amazon agent I spoke with. I called UPS and ask them about the situation and the best they could do is ask me if I had ever had my package delivered to an access point which I had. But this one I did not make that request. He seemed to imply because I had done it in the past it must be that way presently. Now either Amazon or UPS is in my mind buying time to deliver at a lesser expense! Not a good practice for either business.
