    My pharmacy arranged for UPS to deliver my chemo. I did not receive an email or text to track the package so I went to the front gate to see if they tagged my gate. No tag. a little later I received a call saying they were unable to reach me. Yeah, right. No one tried to deliver. I go back downstairs again and they did not tag. There is no evidence they even attempted. I am here all day. I never left my apartment. I go downstairs to check periodically. Nothing. I almost never have a good experience with UPS. I have asked Acredo to please never send me my chemo meds via UPS ever again.

    The bright side of your company is your response team which was really nice and did try to help but could not get my meds delivered to me the on the same day. I did not miss my delivery. I never left my apartment except to walk downstairs to see if the UPS was coming. No tag. No evidence they tried to deliver. I was here all day. No text with tracking number, no call, no email. Thanks to your response team I should be getting a call from UPS to let me know it is at their facility and allow me to pick it up even if it doesn't get back to that facility until 8 pm. I will be surprised if I get this phantom call and if someone is there for me to get it.

    I requested my investment company to send me a check via Next Day Air due to emergency situation/crisis. It was supposed to arrive here on Wednesday, it never came. An investigation is going on now and it will take up to 7 business days to come up with a result. I had to put a stop on that check and requested a new one which will take me another couple of days to receive it. They cannot use bad weather for an excuse because I live here in San Diego CA. The only acceptable alibi is their staff are highly incompetent and do not care much about customers. They charge high but their service is very low.

    Looks like most reviews of UPS are from individuals. I wanted to let people know UPS is no better for their corporate customers. They sent my company a six-figure invoice for one week's worth of shipping (should have been about 20K). They do this by scanning multiple boxes together to make it look like you shipped larger, heavier boxes, or by charging business-to-business shipments at residential rates. I hope other customers examine their bills as closely as we do.

    After selecting new glasses at a vision center 2 hours away by car, I was told the new glasses would be delivered in about a week. The order was processed ready for UPS in less than a week. UPS picked up the glasses 3 days later then held the glasses for 10 days at their site. The UPS excuse was the delivery address was a PO Box, though the UPS delivers M-F to that same post office which is where I get most of my packages. I was concerned when the new glasses failed to arrive and contacted the vision center. They provided a tracking number which showed the glasses never left the UPS pickup city.

    I called UPS and a customer service representative apologized and promised the glasses would arrive the next day. Remember, I was only 2 hours from the store. Instead, UPS sent the package on a tour of three states. Two days after the glasses were promised to be delivered, a UPS driver apparently tossed the package over the fence in my yard. I was close by in the house and never heard anyone attempt to contact me, not even a honking horn. And, the package was left outside with no covering when it was getting ready to rain. UPS used to tout itself as the "tightest ship in the shipping business" Well, that ship sank a long time ago! It took nearly 2 weeks to get a package from a site just two hours away. I could have done better walking!

    The worst service I have ever experienced with UPS!!! I received a text message that my package was delivered and come to find out that it was either NOT delivered or was left on my doorstep and stolen. I have someone sitting in my house ALL day waiting for this delivery and never got a knock at the door from the driver! I got absolutely no help from customer service and was told to contact Amazon regarding this! I will NEVER order anything from anyone ever again who uses UPS!!!

    My experience with UPS has been far from great. I have four claims in the system one dating back to July 27, 2018. I’ve been on the phone everyday with a representative to receive information about my claim. I’ve had lost items and damaged goods and the experience has not been amazing to even consider using the services again. One of my claims were denied because they stated I didn’t pack it correctly and it was bubbled wrapped, packed with newspaper and clothing. Boxes were labeled fragile as well. Some boxes came completely ripped up with my items in clear places bags that I never used. Whatever happened to common courtesy if the box ripped open to tape the box up again.

    My 55 inch television completely destroyed. The whole glass is completely shattered. Fragile was marked on all items that needed to be handled with care and it seems like the package handlers do not care about the items because it does not belong to them. Processes are in place for people to follow why promote a company and how things are handled properly when that is not true. My television was deliberately broken. There is no way the package handler was not aware. It was in the original box and they should have taken time to handle it properly.

    With all the items that are shipped consistently UPS should provide more training or proper training so packages arrive to people in its original state. I’m not pleased and have items missing and it’s disappointing when you contact the damage department and they just say you didn’t package it properly and don’t try to go above and beyond when you paid for a service that did not deliver properly. I’m not interested in giving business to UPS anymore. It’s sad that you as the customer sometimes who may also work in customer service don’t receive the proper treatment with some of these companies and UPS is one of them. They do not have a corporate phone number and it’s hard to get anyone to assist you if you have a urgent need and just want answers and proper communication. I expected better from a huge corporation like UPS and I’m not happy with any of the service that was provided.

    I sent my legal documents overnight via UPS, paid $97 to overnight the documents. They were not received overnight. 3 business days later I got notification that the document was signed for. Unfortunately that person, "Galliger" did not work for the company that was supposed to be the recipient. I requested a refund twice because I paid for overnight and it did not get there overnight. I spent more money to re-ship documents via FedEx. Eventually the person who signed for the UPS documents got it to the intended recipient, but that was several business days later.

    I paid for overnight. UPS refuses to refund me or give me the difference between overnight and 5 day delivery. Their reason is that once the package was found, I did not again request for a refund. I did not know that I had to, because they have a guarantee on their website and because I had already requested refunds on every conversation I had with them. They are saying that they did not become aware of the package actually being found until past the 15 days. Every time I call there is a different reason for me not to receive my refund, now it has been over a month.

    I ordered a part for my car two weeks ago and it took almost a week and a half to get from California to Louisiana. Fast forward to this week I ordered another part that was being sent from Canada and it only took 3 days with FedEx. Lesson learned and I will never have anything shipped with UPS again...it's sad when regular "snail mail" is faster than them.

    Driver dropped shipping label off (for an item I was returning) on the front door without ringing the door bell; my package was ready to go. When I contacted the main UPS office to schedule a pick up and explained to them that I was homebound following foot surgery, they were unsympathetic and accepted no blame. I scheduled another pickup (at an additional cost) and after reading the reviews on this page, have set the package on the front porch. Fingers crossed they can get it right this time.

    I used UPS Freight to ship two antique family dressers (about 130 and 170 years old, respectively) from upstate New York to Oregon. Both dressers were received damaged. For the first dresser, the wood fronts of two drawers were split. For the second dresser, a corner footing was broken off. I filed a claim for the damage and received a letter about two months later stating that the claim would be processed with 100 days. After nearly a year and several unreturned phone calls to the claims person, I still have not received any compensation for the damaged items. UPS Freight is unreliable and does not stand behind their product.

I called corporate for a refund on 8/3 and they gave me a case # and promised me a call back on 8/4. Never heard from them again.

    I was supposed to receive a package on Friday and it was postponed to Monday. When I called customer service they initially told me that was because of a flat tire on the trailer. I then asked them to deliver it to a different address as I work 7 days a week and they said they will charge me 5 dollars for that. I agreed but then they refused saying they couldn’t do it and I would have to pick up it up from the customer service point after agreeing and refusing once again to deliver it to a UPS store near me. I spoke to a manager named Mario, who was very very rude to me by saying things like “didn’t you hear it the first time” and “how would I know if we would have a flat tire”. Overall my experience have been very very bad and this was after nearly 2 hour of total talk time on the phone this morning itself. I would have given it zero stars but there wasn’t an option for that.

    My delivery was not made today even though you said it's out on the truck to be delivered. I've waited all day for this and made plans around this being delivered today as promised. This is NOT the first time this has happened. Very frustrating. So far all I've gotten from UPS is typical "lip service" as usual. Tracking Status. Out for Delivery Today. Scheduled Delivery. "My apologies I do not show that this package reflects out for delivery. Delivery has been updated to 8/6/18." ~ Rachel. That's probably because someone in YOUR COMPANY CHANGED THE DELIVERY DATE!!! This has happened before and it's a real crappy way to do business!! FEDEX is looking better All the time!!!!

    I scheduled my package to be picked up on Aug 3, 2018 from 7:30am to 12:00pm here in Legend Circle, Vallejo, CA 94591. I indicated on the UPS app that it will be on the front door so that’s where I placed it the day before pickup. Went home Aug 3, package was still there, checked my pickup status on their site and it said something like "item pickup unsuccessful, reschedule pickup". The package was big and you will see on the front door even if you just drive by the street! They did not even specify why it was unsuccessful! I checked online and there were a lot who had the same instance. What kind of irresponsible and lazy pickup/delivery employees does UPS hire? Based on the reviews, this has been going on for years! And even here in the US! Next time this happens, I’m going to gather evidence and then sue UPS!

    UPS service is terrible, employees are incompetent. I was expecting delivery of a package and waited at home for it, UPS stating it would be delivered between 8 am and 7 pm, but might be later. I received an email in the afternoon stating that a delivery was attempted but the recipient was not available. This is not true, I was home all day. I called customer service to complain and was told that the package would definitely be delivered later that day. It didn't happen. It was rescheduled for delivery the next day. The next day I received the same delivery attempted email and made the same complaint to customer service with the same response from them. This happened four days in a row.

    On the fourth day immediately after receiving the delivery attempted email, I saw the delivery truck on my street and approached the driver. He admitted that he had the package in his truck for four days but told me he does not attempt to deliver to brownstone houses because no one is ever home. The delivery person made no attempt to deliver until I personally asked him to deliver it. Someone was present to accept this delivery every day. This package would never have been delivered if I had not personally approached the delivery man and asked him to give it to me. I complained to UPS Customer Support and their only response (two days after I complained) was that my package had been delivered. This is not the first time I have had an experience like this with UPS, this is just the worst one. UPS is incompetent. Make every effort not to use them.

    Heard a bang on the front door this afternoon, so I go to the front door and found a very damaged package and saw a man on the sidewalk, in UPS uniform, yelling something at me, I couldn't understand him. He goes to his truck which was parked a couple houses down. The box was demolished, so he obviously threw it from the sidewalk to the door which was at least 15 feet from the sidewalk. I called UPS to complain and gave them the tracking number. They promised to call back within the hour. They never did. Judging by the other reviews, this is pretty par for the course concerning UPS. They are a horrible company and I would never recommend them to ship anything.

    UPS service is beyond horrible!!! They need to invest in customer service, upgrade their systems (which is probably outdated) and be a little realistic. On Thursday July 26 & Friday July 27 UPS came to drop a package at my home and obviously it was during regular 9-5 working hours therefore no one was at home. The package had a brokerage charge of $ 38.00 and for theft reasons I preferred not to leave money at my front door and requested my package to be dropped at my in-laws who live 10 mins away on Monday July 30 by leaving a note on my front door. UPS delivery guy/lady replied, "sorry out of route and ticked final try".

    On that said night (July 30) I went online and had the options of either paying $5 to re-route the package or pick up at location: UPS CUSTOMER CENTER - 65 Trillium Park PL ON, Kitchener Canada N2E1XI where my package will be held from Wednesday August 01 - Wednesday August 08. On Wednesday August 01 I went to pick my package up at 4 PM and the lady at the front desk said she sent my package to destruction, I requested her name over and over and she refused to provide me with her name (poor customer service). I asked her why my package was sent to destruction clearly I confirmed I was picking up my package today. She took the UPS note that was left on my door and destroyed it. Again I asked for her name and she refused to provide and kept saying the sender advised to send package to destruction. She provided me with customer service 1 800 number.

    When I called this number I spoke to Wendy at customer service who kept saying they were advised by sender to destroy and sorry but I have to contact the sender. I contacted the sender who in this case was Justice.com and spoke to a lady name Jennifer who advised that UPS claims customer abandon the package. Like really??? Why would I abandon my own package??? UPS clearly lied to both the customer and sender. After learning the sender did not advise UPS to no longer hold my package I called customer service again a second time. This time the lady said, "On July 30th you asked to pick your package up at 65 Trillium PL Kitchener and it will be held there until August 08." I reminded her I just went there and the lady who refused to give her name said I can't have my package because she sent it over to "good" or destruction whatever their term is.

    She then said I need to have the sender carry out an investigation. Why do I need to get the sender to carry out an investigation when clearly it's a screw up at UPS end. The lady sitting at the front desk knows exactly where she sent it. Why can't UPS customer service investigate??? I will not used or recommend UPS to any one. This was beyond the worst customer service I have received thus far. UPS please if you say to a customer that you will be holding a package for a particular time please, please, please, please do. If I walked into your UPS customer Center in Kitchener ON, Canada on August 09th for pick up and you said it was sent to destruction that 's fine but not on August 01. Clearly UPS service is not geared towards the 24th century E-commerce businesses.

    UPS made an attempt to deliver my package. I was unaware it would need a signature however that would not be a problem if the delivery could be made before 2 or after 6. I understand the drivers have routes but in my experience with other delivery companies if you call and leave a delivery instruction giving delivery hour options my experience is that the driver will take that into consideration. When I called UPS I was told they would not offer that option and that my only option was to wait until it was attempted as normal operations and then have it sent to a delivery drop location. The point of delivery is to not have to go pick it up otherwise I wouldn’t have had it shipped.

    UPS is a constant issue when they deliver in our area packages lost, rude customer service agents and just blatant disregard for their patron's needs. How can they expect working consumers to just sit at home and wait for them to decide to come and deliver the package or have someone waiting all day in their behalf. I do understand the concept of having routes but customer service should be considered and the route be modified if need be especially since I was told by the customer service agent delivery hours are from 7am to 7 pm and my request fell within that timeframe and was not unreasonable. After being persistent that the package be noted I was told it was noted but would be delivered following regular delivery operations. UPS is not a professional company and I will not do business with them if possible again.

    No one at UPS could tell me what an approx 1 ounce letter sent overnight might cost before we shipped. The letter was being shipped to me by a company using my shipper number. The SURPRISE was the bill of $50.18. Are they kidding me? A one page letter... $50.18??? After speaking to customer service, I was transferred to the rudest, most incompetent manager at UPS. He rather search (inaccurately) the rates of other shippers (all significantly less than UPS) than admit this is highway robbery.

    You can only get rate for 1 pound package on the website. This letter was ounces. He reiterated over and over that a single page letter was LIKELY less than a pound. LIKELY less than a pound? He even spelled the word “likely” out. Yes, dear, it is less than a pound. Like not even close. The first customer service agent did admit it was excessive and didn’t sound right. Uh, ya think? They did nothing for me. Customer service offered to refund $1.22. Gee, thanks. Apparently UPS needs it more than I do. So keep it. I will never use UPS ever again. Enjoy the, one time only, $50.18.

    I ordered diabetic testing supplies from Amazon and they shipped using UPS SurePost. Though Amazon and the label have my correct address, tracking shows Surepost delivered to the wrong address in the wrong city (the cities sound nothing alike and have totally different zip codes)! Though Amazon refunded my purchase price, the refund will not show up in my bank account for 3 to 5 business days, but I can't afford to reorder these supplies until it does. So, I can't manage a life threatening condition because SurePost is too careless to train employees to read addresses and notice where they're delivering things (or they hire thieves - I hope this one enjoyed the lancets). I'd review the lowlife who signed for the items, but SurePost didn't give the actual address they delivered to, just the city. Moral: Don't trust SurePost with anything above minor importance.

    Despite several requests, the UPS driver insists on speeding down our 'dead end' road. I emailed a complaint and now he's 'paying us back' by not delivering to our home. We paid for next day delivery from Spring. The first day it was stated online that delivery was not made because we were not home (and we were home ALL day). The next day (today) the supervisor guaranteed to us the package was back on the truck and would be delivered. Yet the driver reported online that the address was missing from the package so he could not deliver it. Then we were told that the package was not on the truck.

    And finally were told that our driveway was blocked. ALL LIES. For if the 'driveway' was blocked (NOT), he must have had the package on the truck so he knew where he needed to go. If the package was on the truck, why did he report that it was not on the truck. UPS is supposed to provide a delivery service. My home is totally accessible and always has been. I will never again select them as a delivery service and suggest nobody else does. They are dishonest and not a 'service' at all.

    My UPS tracking number said that my package was delivered at 7PM last night. Of course it was never delivered. Luckily I have cameras on my property so I played back the camera footage and I see the UPS truck pull up across the street that is on the side of my home. The UPS driver never get out of the truck. The driver sits there for about 4 minutes and then drives off. I assume he scanned my package but could not find my home and updated his system to show “delivered.” But again, the driver never gets out the truck to even try to look around to search for the right address.

    I saw no effort made to deliver my package except for the fact that he arrived on my street at the stated “delivery” time. I called UPS and was told that they can show “delivered” up to 36 hours before the package actually being delivered. Did not know this was a policy. I will be looking this up for myself. However, the following day the tracking number was later changed to show “out for delivery”. The verdict is still out on this but this review is just to share my experience and thank God I was smart enough to install exterior home cameras.

    UPS has completely disrespected potential safety issue it created! I sent keys and a security fob to a friend who planned to visit me this weekend in Boston. The package arrived 2 days LATE - basically destroyed and the keys and pass were not in it! Package had clearly been opened and retaped. Contact UPS and they will not do ANYTHING - even check to see if possibly keys had come out on conveyor belt and sent to "lost and found" some giant facility in the mid-west!!! Meanwhile someone (likely their employee) could have stolen keys and be breaking into my apartment as I write this message. Only option is to file a police complaint and have them investigate UPS staff for possible illegal activity. I expected so much more from this company and hope someone at UPS reads this and realizes how flawed their system is.

    UPS STORE IN CAMP VERDE, AZ - Any time I am not home when UPS arrives, they leave a receipt for me marked they will return with the package, or I can sign it and leave it on the door. This is not the first time, but the second+ time, I've waited for their return with the box. They don't ever have the box because the box is at the local UPS Store in Sedona. They just need to check the correct box, on the receipt. I have called them to discuss this and spoke with Beverly 928-567-4098, and she hangs up on me! Says something about the drivers and how they leave it, and they don't know where the box goes afterwards, on and on. Clearly, UPS needs to do some training or new training since the homeowner is waiting there to have the box delivered and don't want to leave the house in case!

    However, if they would just check the box indicating the item is waiting for them at the UPS Store, no worries! Also, the UPS delivery man didn't know what to do about checking the box as they are trained to check the box for redelivery only! Beverly talked in circles about the UPS guy not driving too much, and that the box would be waiting for me for x amount of days at the store. Well, all right then, just change the mark saying to go to the store and we'll be fine, but no they not allowed to check that box, the one that's correct! Strange goings on there, and an angry woman, Beverly, to boot is running the place. She doesn't have the patience, understanding, nor time set forth in her schedule to show which box to check... how 1st grade must we be. Beverly go to anger management or take a big vacation, soon!

On Wednesday at 11:00 am I called UPS because the check had still not arrived at our office... The representative, that was located in Guatemala by the way, told me it would arrive by 3:00 pm. At 3:10 pm I called UPS AGAIN and was then told that the package wasn't even in SC, that it was on a container in Kentucky and that it would not be delivered until THURSDAY!!!

    This was UNACCEPTABLE, but the representative was "uncaring" and said there was nothing he could do, which I guess not if the package is in KY and he's in Guatemala!!! I could have drove this check from VA to SC in a much shorter time, in one day, had I known what an ordeal this would have turned out to be!!! Now UPS is saying that it will FINALLY be delivered today (7/19/18) by 10:30 am, TWO DAYS LATE! Our Contractor took the $19+ out of the payment amount of the check to cover the OVERNIGHT delivery that NEVER happened! I am sorely disappointed in this company and will NEVER EVER USE THEM AGAIN!

    This was my second delivery with UPS. A few weeks ago a package was sent to me and the driver knocked and basically took off. I kept looking through the peephole and asking who was it. The driver came back a couple of hours later and did the same thing. I was ready to call the police when I noticed my neighbor across the hall come out of her apartment. That's when I opened the door and discovered that the package was left by the door. I guess if that is the procedure, even when there is someone home, so be it, but I do have a problem with the delivery person knocking and disappearing. I was not expecting a package, so opening my door to see who was knocking and disappearing was not safe. My second experience happened today July 18, 2018. My package was supposed to be delivered to my apartment and required a signature.

    I was stuck at home all day since they had until 8:00 pm to deliver the package. At 8:00 I checked the tracking to see why it was not delivered and saw that it had been delivered and signed for in the rent office at 3:00 pm. When I called to complain that I was home waiting all day and did not give instructions to deliver my package to the rent office, all I got was, "I'm sorry." The UPS representative asked me what was the address to the rent office. I told her it did not matter because it is not the same as my apartment address. This is terrible and the worst part is that they seem to get away with this bad customer service. I will avoid using them in the future.

    My business is a small business dependent on shipping accuracy and without damage to the goods. I have had multiple issues with UPS where shipments were severely damaged and not on time. Despite complaints and filing claims none have been resolved. The latest issue prompted me to file a complaint today. I had a time sensitive shipment that needed to arrive in Las Vegas by May 25th. We sent the package on the 21st. First the package ended up in Utah. When UPS was contacted they told me because of the holiday weekend it would not arrive until the 29th. On the 29th I was told the address was non-existent. Then I was told the suite number was wrong. Finally I told them to hold the package at the UPS facility in Las Vegas and I would arrange to have it picked up. When the courier arrived, they told them the package was lost.

    I immediately contacted my account rep who, to her credit, ran interference. Regardless, the merchandise had to be redone and sent overnight via FedEx. In the meantime I asked for a full reimbursement and return of the package when it was found and if it wasn't found I would file a claim for the full value of the contents. I was told UPS is not responsible for the value of the contents and would not pay a claim. I finally received a call 3.5 weeks after the package was originally shipped saying the package had been located and would be returned to me.

    The return address was confirmed with the UPS rep that called me. I received an email 2 days later stating the package had been successfully delivered... To the wrong address in Kansas City! I again contacted my account rep who located the package and had it returned, somewhat damaged, a week later. UPS had the audacity to charge me for delivery, a wrong address twice and return of the package. Needless to say I refused all payments. And, needless to say, I am not going to be using their services for quite some time.

The delivery date was set for the 17th of July, confirmed, and posted on the UPS website and UPS app. I took the day off work expecting delivery. I have pictures to confirm the delivery was for the 17th. My bike arrived at the Aurora, IL facility on the 17th at 7:27 AM. At 5 PM, UPS called me to tell me the delivery is going to happen on the 18th (I live one town over), and gave me a seven hour delivery window. After asking to speak with a supervisor, I was able to reduce the window to three hours so I don't have to take the ENTIRE day off. They could have called me at any point during the day to let me know the delivery was not happening. They are very unprofessional, I assume because they have no accountability.

After I didn't receive my package I checked tracking and it showed I would receive it 7/16/18. On 7/16/18 I checked and my package had been sent to Alabama and I started calling and at this time no one could tell me when I would receive my package. At this time I called the merchant and explained the situation to them and he tracked it and told me I should receive on 7/18/18. Reason being they paid for shipping. I asked was he going to be reimbursed something and he said once I receive the package to give him a call and I told him if I order anything else from them please do not use UPS.

    I'm irritated now because how did my package get from Bedford Park, which is less than 1/2 hour from my house to Alabama now Tennessee, so I want to report this to a higher authority. Every time I called and asked for an email address or phone number to corporate to complain about their poor service no one would give it to me. Someone from customer service would call me. Why is there no way complaints can be sent to corporate? I feel that is the reason they have so many negative reports because no one is being held accountable.

    I went to our local UPS store to return a package to the shipper. First, UPS was to pick this package up according to the shipper on 07/11/2018 at my location of which I waited all day for them to show up. They never did so. This return wouldn't have cost me anything if they had showed up on this date. Second - AT the UPS store I had this package shipped ground back to the shipper at a cost to me of $44.85 and on the printed receipt it was to be delivered on Monday 07/16/2018 by the end of the day. Third - The package NEVER ARRIVED AT THE SHIPPER on the date given for some unknown reason. Fourth - I called the UPS customer service helpline about this issue and I was advised to go back to the store that shipped it out for me for a REFUND.

    Fifth - So, I go back to the store where I shipped this from and I was informed that by ground delivery, they have five days to deliver the package of which isn't posted anywhere on their receipt nor anything said to me from any of the clerks working there. This is indeed very poor customer service on their part to say the least and because of their rotten service, I am out $44.85. Sixth - The UPS man finally showed up to pick up this return package on 07/13/2018 only TWO DAYS LATE. There is no logical excuse for this type of service at all from them. SHIPPERS BEWARE and warned before using this company.

    I received a message on my phone that UPS was unable to connect to deliver a package of auto parts from the US. It was supposed to be delivered to my friend's place as it is his car that is being restored. My phone number was on the billing form from the company ordered from. When I phoned I had the package redirected to my apartment on 10 July 2018 with the delivery time window as 1-5 PM. I had the customer service representative repeat my address back to me three times to make sure the address was correct as her line kept fading out. I received another message when the package was not delivered due to the driver not finding address which was inputted incorrectly at the dispatch center in Richmond BC. Apparently someone forgot to put the proper address of 1037 and instead put 037.

    The driver did not have the common sense to phone into the office to have them verify the address when he could not find 037 which does not exist. The other issue is that he or she tried to deliver in at 11:43 am instead of the time I was given. So the package was rescheduled for the 12 July 2018 from 2-5 pm as I was not available until then. Apparently these ill trained, uninformed drivers do not follow the delivery time schedules they are given - if they are given it at all. The driver tried to deliver it at 12:30 instead of the 2-5 pm window listed on their computer system and stuck a notice on the front apartment door which I did not see until five o'clock when I ventured out to check my mail.

    When I called to complain about this the CSR apologized for this and said the package would be sent to a nearby drop off point which I tried to find. I was given the wrong address as '55 Commercial Drive' which does not exist. The CSR confirmed the address twice when I asked her to repeat it. Not finding this, I called customer service and was told the address was "2055 Commercial Drive". Arriving there I was informed by the manager that he was not authorized to accept the "customs process fee" that this company charges and I phoned UPS again and paid via credit card.

    This is not the first time I have had to deal with this company and I would like to warn people to use another company if they want to send something. UPS is a poorly run company and its employees are poorly trained, they have no common sense and just seem to waste everyone's time. I prefer that companies I order from use FedEx or the national postal service such as Canada Post or USPS to send packages. At least you know that your mail or package will get there.

    UPS has credited my supplier for the lost and damaged goods, who in turn, credited me. I was pleasantly surprised that they resolved the issue so quickly. I am still very surprised that it happened, but am glad that they made things right.

    Original Review: July 13, 2018

    I have a small home business, selling screen printed and embroidered apparel. I frequently have apparel shipped directly to a local screen printer. Recently I placed an order for $4600 from one of my regular suppliers - several jerseys, shorts and socks for a local soccer league. 7 boxes shipped in late June - UPS delivered my order over 3 days, which was odd. Upon inspection, it was discovered that several jerseys and socks were severely damaged with rips, tears, and extreme grease/dirt, beyond repair, and many items were not delivered at all. The boxes had been retaped and it quickly became obvious that there had been a mishap in the UPS warehouse.

    It looks like a group of boxes got caught up in their sorting equipment - the boxes broke apart and the goods got caught up in the conveyor belt. They gathered up the products after they stomped all over them, carelessly filled up the boxes, retaped them and sent them on their way without trying to figure out what goes in each box. In addition to the damaged product, I received items from someone else's shipments - a pink bra, ladies floral shirt and a handful of lands end embroidered shirts for a school in my area in one of the boxes! And I’m sure someone around here or in the Chicago area has a bunch of our jerseys and socks.

    I understand accidents happen but to allow severely damaged and mixed up shipments to be delivered, without saying a word about it, is inconceivable to me. Were the supervisors sleeping during their shift that day? My supplier has started a claim, with photos that I provided to them. I am hoping that UPS rectifies this situation and reimburses my supplier for the lost and damaged goods, and therefore my supplier will reimburse me for the replacement product I had to reorder in order for me to meet the deliver deadline.

    I am very unsatisfied with UPS. Waited all day for a package that said it was loaded on the truck locally for delivery. It showed it was moving closer to my destination all day. When the truck pulled up at 6:30 P.M. I could see the driver looking for quite a while. He then drove off. I followed the truck and stopped to ask the driver where my package was. He said it was not loaded on the truck. With computer tracking and scanning how is this possible. He called his supervisor to report it. I called UPS and they took my information. I got a call back ten minutes later only for the woman to tell me it did not get loaded but don't worry it will come tomorrow like this happens all the time.

    I'm signed up for emails and track all of my packages up to the delivery date. They give a very wide estimated 5-6 hr time window for the time of day which a package is to be delivered. If you have something important coming that is needed as soon as possible, you'd better sit at home all day and wait! They are very inconsistent and may or may not have you sign for it, never any notice or way of knowing if they'll just keep your package and leave a measly "sorry we missed you" note if you happen to not be home. Their access points where the packages go are hours away. Why can't they just leave it on the porch or at the doorstep like they do the other half of the time? Now I'm waiting an extra day for something I needed today because I stepped out on a quick errand. Their convenience before the customer's, right?

    The luggage scanned in at Spokane Wa. and was then sent on to Richmond BC [Customs] where it sat for the next 17 days before it was finally sent back arriving on July 6. My local UPS stated I would get a refund since the bag could not be delivered on time. WRONG. When I applied for a refund it was denied. They also sent me a bill for the return shipment that was almost twice the amount of the original shipment. Needless to say I'll be litigating this and using FEDEX in the future.

Then we got E911 assigned street numbers, around the same time our regular driver retired. Since then the drivers have all ignored our address and returned parcels to the depot. We are correctly placed on Google Maps. Packages then get returned to sender or someone tells them to drop them at the nearest village business and hope we check there. No amount of friendly calm discussion with the staff in Santa Fe seems to affect this behaviour. We are told the drivers don’t have GPS so can’t find our house. Isn’t that what they are in business to do? Find an address and deliver a package to that address? UPS just does not care. Office Depot, DHL, Yardyard and FedEx deliver to us.

    Folks you just need to keep their eyes open on shipping with UPS. I had a group of four packages to ship. No issue with three. The fourth package of the group was a 96 inch long - 1 1/2 inch square curtain rod. With bubble wrap it measured out by UPS at 106 inches long x 3 x 3. The basic charge for the curtain rod was $74.35. However, because it exceeded 96 inches in length, by UPS formula it fell into the "Large Package Fee" category which means they bill it at a 90 pound maximum rate.

    Thus, a "large package fee" of $80 was added to the basic fee of $74.35 for a total of $154.35 for the 106 inch long 3 x 3 package. It had to go with the other three packages so I had no choice but to pay. Later thinking about it, it seemed to be "double billing" to me. If I had to pay the billable 90 pound large package fee because of the 106 inches in length why was I also charged the basic $74.35? I contacted UPS via email but only got referred back to the same facility that charged me the two fees in the first place. As expected they disagreed that it was double billing. The simple curtain rod was delivered safely but at a rate of $154.35 so keep your eyes open!!!

Only to find that UPS doesn't give a ** about your package, you, or how UPS not delivering it when promised affects your business, life, or well being. And they don't much care that they lost a package for a whole month so long as it finally made its way. They lost a loyal customer tonight.

    This was something I was very excited about as I have never forked out the money to do so. Most quality companies when they make a mistake step up to rectify the issue. UPS knew on the 2nd the shipment wasn't going to make it and didn't notify anyone till it was too late to do anything about it. I will never order food items overnight again.

I planned accordingly, taking the day off work.

    The next day, Tuesday July 3, I get an email at 7 am advising it was rescheduled for the following Monday July 9. Noticing this on waking, I called them immediately at 8 am. The UPS agent advised, that yes the package was delayed upon my request. At which point I clarified I would not have done that. My health and sanity was relying on this delivery. (I even had to reset my password minutes before calling to double check what was happening). UPS logged my request and advised that I would be called by 10 am. I waited until 10.30 and then tried calling back. The UPS representative did not have any updates and advised to just keep my line open. I did until 11.30. I called back to learn:

    My package was tagged as 'holiday.' My package was sitting in a storage container and would not be accessible until after the public holiday. There was no option for me to pick up my package. For health reasons, I needed an aircon ASAP. I now have to hire someone to take me shopping so they can lift the heavy boxes to bring it home and get it installed, and this is after I've already lost money cause I tried to do the right thing by UPS and took the day off work. I have lost a lot of money, many many tears and been really stressed out... all because someone did not want to deliver items on July 3 between 2.30-6.30 pm.

    This is the most awful courier Company... I am waiting for a parcel and keep getting texts and emails to advise address incorrect. Called UPS and they asked for my address. I gave the house name and was told they need a house number. I said that we do not have a house number so perhaps I should move so that UPS could deliver my parcel!!! Unfortunately the Company in the UK will lose the business as I will be requesting a refund. They should drop UPS at the earliest opportunity - an absolute disgrace.

    Like many other great peoples and package receivers. I also have had horrible service from UPS, here in Hawaii. Although this is a great paradise and most of this land is filled with Aloha, that motto does NOT apply to UPS. UPS doesn't deliver packages here. They drive by your place, most of the time when you're at home and say you were "Not Available", which really means they were running late or too lazy to get out of the truck... Then you can call the 1-800-UPS STINKS call center and they say it was your fault they almost ran you over going by your place, too bad you didn't get your package going on 4-5 days late, and to quit your ** & crying. But if you want your late package one must go out by the Airport at 10:30 pm at night and see "The Gate Guard Guy" he might have your package.

    By this time... I've had enough. Will not use UPS, called the shipper to get a full refund for the package, and warn everybody to not use UPS, because frankly... they don't care, are not worried, totally unprofessional, and can give two craps about what I, you or anyone else thinks... They still get away with it. The Gate Guard can keep my package. I got a full refund!!! That's my two cents. Now I can go on with my wonderful life in Paradise. Thanks for reading.

    UPS is horrible. They did not deliver my package to my apartment, they delivered it to the manager's office which is very far away. I do not have a car and cannot get there, so I told the office to send it back with the UPS driver. They did this and the driver did not scan it back in and their customer service will not help find it. As far as I am concerned this driver stole my package and it cannot be found and UPS won't look for it. They refer me back to where I ordered the item from and they see it was delivered. It was not. It was delivered to the wrong place and signed for by a stranger in a manager's office and now I have to pay for something I didn't get. I will not order anything that is coming from UPS again. I will definitely make sure it is coming from USPS or I won't order it.

    I will never use UPS delivery service again. They have constantly promised a delivery date and they can a window of a time to expect a delivery and have failed to deliver on said date and time promised literally every time that I’ve ever used UPS. I even signed up for the “MyChoice” program that they advertise, it gives you a window of 4 hours in which to expect your package. Time after time it never happens. Today (Friday) my expected time of delivery was between 12:45 and 4:45, it is now 7 pm and they just emailed me saying that my delivery schedule has changed and it will not arrive until Monday!! I understand things happen but every single time?? Why advertise a delivery window if you’re not going to be able to deliver on that promise?

    Beware - Do not use the UPS feature "Change Delivery/Schedule for Another Day" if you would like to receive your packages. I have attempted to use this feature twice - on both occasions I did not receive my package. The latest occurrence I was to receive two packages on Friday, June 22. With the inclement weather and being out of town I attempted to reschedule for Monday, June 25. I was also to receive two additional packages that day that were for that original delivery day. However, I got the two packages for that day, but no packages rescheduled from Friday.

    I called UPS and was told they would be delivered "today" but was told they must be with another driver. I explained that I live in a rural area and knew this was not true. He "guaranteed" me they would be delivered. I made another attempt to "reschedule" to certify they would be delivered Tuesday. Received text saying they would be delivered today, then "status" = "Exception". I called and then bottom line - they have lost the packages which showed they were received at the facility on Friday, but between Friday and Monday they have been "lost."

After checking online and seeing a delivery attempt was made less than a half hour before I checked, I got on the phone. After getting through the many menu options designed to prevent me from actually talking to a person, I got through to a representative. I told them I had been home and nobody attempted a delivery, she responded with "maybe you didn't hear the doorbell, or the notification slip got blown away by the wind". However after I informed her that I have video surveillance throughout my property, and would be glad to send the video files, the conversation tone changed immediately, and she said she would put a report in.

    Seriously, UPS has the worst delivery services ever by far. Even you have someone stand by to sign for a delivery package, you still miss your package. He rapidly stopped by with your package and if he noticed that no one was there, just simply took off without ringing or calling. Another problem is rearranging to pick up package, trouble and disturbing service ever. You will be reassigned to pick up with free cost to that only office. If you choose to go to diff office, you will be charged for relocating your package. I hate UPS so much, I wish they out of the business but that would be bad for all employees but they have to improve their services.

    I shipped a package out with UPS and insured it for $7,000.00. And when the receiver received the package they called me and told me that the package weighed less than the labels says and the box was damage from the bottom and was retaped. And also that there was $4,226.00 missing from the package. When I called UPS to file a claim they told me it will take about 3 to four days for the claim to go through. It has been almost two months and I still have not heard anything from UPS. And when I called them they told me they can only pay me $1,000.00 for the claim because I dropped it off at a UPS Store.

    I told them even though I have a receipt and paperwork showing that the box got damage while it was in UPS possession and that it was trapped by UPS. They told me it does not matter if you paid insurance. They will not pay more than a $1,000.00. I told them, "Whats the purpose of the insurance and why do you offer it if you will not pay more than a $1,000.00." UPS told me they only pay the insurance if I give the box to a driver. UPS does not say that they will only pay $1,000.00 if the box is drop off at a UPS store in any of their receipts. Now UPS does not want to pay for a service I paid for so I am out $4,226.00.

    I've called, I've emailed (no response), I’ve tweeted (with no response), I initiated an investigation yesterday evening, and I've worked with the sender, but no luck so far. Today, Customer Service is telling me that you cannot give an update to the investigation. I initiated the investigation in the first place! I keep seeing reports of drivers not doing their jobs, but now it's happened to me. I was supposed to receive tickets to a concert this Saturday. Tracker showed it was delivered to my door yesterday, but my doorbell never rang and no one knocked.

    A signature was required and I never signed for one. I need help before I blow a gasket. Those tickets were not cheap and I am NOT HAPPY. My tracking number is **. An investigation has been opened, but as I said, the concert is this Saturday, June 23. Today is Thursday, June 21. If I don't have the tickets delivered to my door today or tomorrow, I fully expect UPS to reimburse me for AT LEAST the full cost of the tickets, $536.95. I’ve spent a lot of time this morning trying to get this resolved, and so far, UPS has given me the runaround.

Told me this wasn't his normal route and walked away. I told him he was rude and I was told to return it by the shipper this way and I will not take it to the UPS store like he told me I had to do. I told him this was a replace to the one that UPS delivered to the wrong address and he probably was the one who delivered it to the wrong place.

    I have never had any problems with UPS until today. I was on my way home, and got the email my package was delivered about 30 minutes before I would be home. I finally made it home, and saw that the delivery driver left a $700 phone on the front porch by the door. I knew that a signature was supposed to be required, because of such a high value of the item. I knew for a fact that the delivery driver didn't knock on the door or anything, because someone is always in the living room. Likewise, the TV was on and you can see it clear as day from the front porch. The driver obviously just left the package without any disregard as to get a signature or anything. I would assume that this particular driver was new, because I know the regular guy pretty well and he always knocks on the door. The only good this is that I am glad I don't live in a bad neighborhood, and that I got home shortly after it was "delivered."

    ATTENTION...UPS MANAGEMENT! HOPE SOMEONE PAYS ATTENTION TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS HERE! I just realized I couldn't post photo here but I'll describe a scenario from my compound this morning. This is also a follow up to my post/complaint yesterday. At 10 am, I saw 4 info notices by the gate of my compound. Being a "luxury" community, we have a very sophisticated intercom system with very visible and clear instructions on how to look up directory. Also, the wall says dial #0000 to get to the service office which opens at 9:00 am. What are the unfortunate odds of having all 4 addressee not available? Or worst case scenario, driver could easily just dialed the office for them to open the gate.

    But since it's a lot easier and more convenient for driver/delivery to just take all the notices at the gate, all these deliveries have to be picked from a UPS access point by customers. Is there any penalty or reward whether or not a delivery was done? I doubt so. Hence, the driver attitude and work ethic to the detriment of poor customers. It's probably now a widespread venomous culture within UPS that's why all these complaints. Most folks do online shopping for the convenience of home delivery. This UPS employee practice of literally and obliterately leaving just info notices to make their working lives convenient is unacceptable and defeats the purpose of online shopping. This has to stop or one day it will catch up on your company. Thank you for paying attention to all of us here.

    Ordered a package through Amazon that had a delivery date of June 15th 2018. Next morning received a delivery confirmation from UPS stating that my package would be delivered by 8 p.m. at the end of the day and that it had been out for delivery since 6 a.m. By 5 p.m. I received a notice from Amazon stating that UPS might be late with my package due to it being shipped to the wrong facility. When I called UPS to find out what was happening with my package I was informed that it would still be delivered to the UPS Store 1 mile away from me by 8 p.m. even though the store was closing at 7 p.m. By 9 p.m. I received another message which confirmed what I already knew, that that UPS did not deliver my package.

    When I went back to the UPS website and looked up the tracking number for the package it said that my package that was originally delivered to the wrong facility have been brought back to the wrong facility and was going to be delivered on the 18th. When I logged into my UPS it stated that my package was going to be delivered on the 16th which I know is probably not going to happen due to the fact that the facility that UPS sent my package to is closed on Saturday and Sundays. It is now more likely that this package that I needed, I mean absolutely needed by today will not be available for pick up until Monday, 3 days after it was supposed to be delivered.

    It is extremely aggravating that I cannot get a straight answer as to why my package was delivered to the wrong facility in the first place, why it is now probably going to take until Monday to get my package that was supposed to be here today, or if my package will even be delivered at all since it has been sent back to what UPS claims is the wrong facility.

For example twice in 24 hours, the driver has left packages at my mailbox which is 1700 ft away (a quarter mile from my house). Poor training and poor quality assurance is reflected here.

    UPS's "reasoning" was the pharmacy "missed the cutoff time" for the Saturday morning delivery, these people knew fully well the package contained medication, but they chose to take the money for the Next Day Air and do nothing. No one cares what the hell your "cutoff time" is when you're shipping to a neighboring state that's barely 1-2 hours away and no one cares what the hell your "cutoff time" is when they're waiting on things like medication.

On 5/27/18 I ordered a new debit card from Direct Express and paid the 2 day business shipping so that I could receive my card before the 1st of the month to pay my bills. It was supposed to have arrived by 5/30/18. I called UPS early that morning on 5/30/18 to check on the delivery, the lady stated that I would receive by the end of the day. The latest I've seen UPS in my neighborhood is around 1530 hours. So I called UPS around 1545 hours and was told that my package was sent somewhere and presumed lost in Cuba New Mexico instead of Albuquerque New Mexico. So I had to call direct express to order another card and if anyone has ever dealt with Direct Express knows it takes of act of God to get a hold of them.

    So I finally ordered another card and the rep stated they would cover the charges. I was informed that the card would arrive 6/1/18. So I started calling direct express at 0630 hours to get a tracking number. No UPS all day long. So around 2300 hours I finally get hold of direct express. Got my tracking order and called UPS. The voice machine stated that the package was sent back to the UPS store because the receiver refused it because it was to expensive. Now number one the UPS guy never showed up. Number two who would refuse their own debit card, number three it was already paid for.

    So I had to call three more times just to finally get hold of someone from overseas that I could barely understand. He asked for my tracking number and stated the same thing the voice machine did. I asked him on what planet and it what universe did that make any sense to him and he then stated that they really can't see what goes on a day today basis with the USA UPS. I asked what sense did that make after he just stated the same thing as the VM. So I then asked to speak to a supervisor. He put me on hold for 5 minutes and came back and asked for the tracking number again because the computer screwed up. I gave it to him again. He stated that tracking number didn't work.

    By this time PTSD is kicking in. I cussed him out 12 ways from Sunday. And then all of a sudden it worked. I waited on hold another 5 min. Supervisor comes on and asked for the tracking number. I cussed him out. Why do people need to get cussed out to do something they’re getting paid for? He stated that the package was at a UPS somewhere in Albuquerque New Mexico and I would have to call them in the morning.

    PTSD in overload I guess I threatened people at UPS in PTSD mode. But when you spend four years of your life serving this country so that the citizens of these United States can be free and endulge in those freedoms and you get out with bad knees, a bad back, neuropathy, and severe case of PTSD and all want is good customer service from the VA and big multi-million companies like these and all you see in America today is the racism, corruptions, stupidity, laziness, and incompetents of people and companies like these. It kinda makes you feel like those years you served was wasted on people that don't even deserve to have the freedoms they have today because of how they treat others and run their companies.

    If I could afford to move out of this country. I rather be in a foreign third world country where people appreciate, respect, and hunger for the simplest things that we as Americans take for granted. It hurts my heart and angers me to see the way people treat one another, and how companies screw over their customers, the way the VA disrespects its veterans. Why do you have people working in customer service that don't care about its customers, probably the same reason why I see veterans disrespectfully walking around Raymond Murphy VA hospital cleaning up poop, pee, and throw up for $3.50 an hour if that. No respect and no appreciation. Thank you. ✌️

    I am a UPS Business Account holder and generated a shipment through the online portal for Saturday Delivery. On my shipment receipt it clearly states Saturday delivery by 12PM. The package did not arrive on Saturday, but Monday, when I called customer service was told that since the billing invoice was not yet entered in their system to call a week later, so here I am calling a week later and the customer service representative, who you can hardly understand her English is trying to tell me that this was a Monday delivery and not Saturday, I offered to email her my shipment receipt but she declined, puts me on hold for 18 minutes and gets back in the line to tell me that it was Monday delivery.

    After arguing several minutes she puts me on hold again for another 7 minutes and asks that I hold for her supervisor. The supervisor gets on the phone telling me that he cannot help me and that if I wanted to close the account with UPS I can but they can not issue a refund for the late delivery. I mean what kind of company would want to lose a business account that generates monthly shipments anywhere between $100-$300 monthly in shipping with UPS over $31.49 for my refund request. It's ridiculous and I can go on an on about the unprofessionalism about this company and will go to the BBB bureau as well.

    First off, my item in question was an extremely expensive industrial machine, worth over $5000, that is now completely totaled, and unsellable. Every single surface was damaged beyond compare, and the machine itself it warped, as if it were dropped numerous times. They not only denied to pay the insured amount, but I am also out of the money it cost to ship it in the first place. As a company who uses UPS frequently for sending products, I am appalled by the lack of responsibility in this matter, as this is not the first time corporate has denied a claim for this same reason with other shippers.

    They also carry their own insurance, therefore they should be treated as any other insurance company would be under these conditions. I will be writing to the Insurance Commission and the Attorney General in Florida, where the package was sent from and returned. I will also note that on both deliveries, the item was delivered by only one handler. The weight of this package required delivery by two people at least, and wasn’t, which is probably why the package was damaged in the first place. As a large, widely used shipping company, they not only treat their delivery drivers unfairly in this regard, but they obviously do not care about their customers and the items they ship.

    After this entire fiasco, they said that the item had “insufficient packaging”, which is their way of giving you the runaround and not wanting to pay. It was actually packaged per their requirements, and was accepted upon drop off at the UPS freight location in Brooksville, FL. The item was double boxed, had packaging in between each box, bubble wrapped, and tied down. In no way was the packaging insufficient in this instance. Upon delivery to the purchaser, the majority of the shipping materials were already missing. And then upon return to myself, it was mostly nonexistent, to where I couldn’t even produce enough packaging material to produce “after photos”, only damage pictures of the product itself. Still battling this. Steer away from UPS at all costs, they don't care about their customers, delivery drivers, or the packages themselves.

    On Tuesday May 22nd I placed an online order and the store I placed the order with used UPS as the delivery service. I was told that someone had to be home to sign for the package so I made arrangements to be home. I tracked the package all day Wednesday May 23rd and the app told me that it was in transit and would arrive by the end of that day.

    Then by 5:30pm when I check the app again it tells me that the driver tried to deliver the package but no one was available to receive it at 5:20pm. This is a LIE!! As I was home all day waiting for it. No one knocked on my door or rang the doorbell for me to receive my package. After seeing the note that the driver was there I ran to the door to see if I could catch him. If the driver was there delivering my package why didn’t he leave a notification that he was there at all and the people in the upstairs apartment confirmed that no one knocked on their door either.

    If this was the first time that this has happened to me by UPS I may have let it slide but I find that EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT UPS EVER DELIVERS anything they never leave a notice slip that they were ever there and they never knock on the door. There are 6 separate apartments so maybe the driver didn't want to take the time to knock on the CORRECT door. WHATEVER... UPS SUCKS!!! or perhaps they have lousy drivers who just don’t care or they are not trained properly? Sad... If I had the choice to choose any delivery service UPS would not be my choice at all...

    They only deliver packages during business days with no real time tracking system. After one delivery attempt that failed, I called them about time that I can expect to receive the package on the next day, they said anytime between 4:30pm-6pm. On the next day morning, again I called them to confirm the time and again it was from 4:30-6. Then I left my work early (took 2 hours time off), to be home at 4. Again I saw a second delivery attempt failed post on my door. When I called them, they said, "The shipman changed his regular routine so he was at your place at 12pm!! And we can’t do anything for you now!!" Tomorrow he will come again and this time they didn’t give me any time period! It seems based on their policy, to get your package delivered to your home, you should take one full day off from work and waiting for shipman entire day.

    I had the worst experience yet at the store here in Greenville, TN. This young man was extremely rude. He informed me I'd never get help there again and kicked me out of the store because I called him on that smug ** look he had on his face. Mind you I never yelled it because I said **. I didn't even get irate. He continuously talked over me. Had attitude the entire time. I admit I had the wrong tracking number but I asked him if there was another way I could look up the package. He kept saying, "Well I don't know how you set it up or how it was done." Mind you I'd already informed him...well tried to (but remember he kept Interrupting me) of how this was done. I said I came in the store on Sat and scheduled a pick up and to have it delivered to the store here In Greeneville.

    I informed this young man that, "Hey I'm not yelling at you or being rude" and that this is not good customer service as I work there and if it were me speaking to a customer in the manner he was speaking to me I'd be pulled on the carpet. He proceeded to make even more smart remarks. Well I'm not sure what kind of customer service you're in but no you're not right. I asked for his name. He refused to give it to me. I said, "I'm going To be going a complaint". He tells me, "Go ahead. I don't care." I asked if he was the manager. I said, "You have to tell me your name." "No I don't but go ahead call them."

    A perfectly legal compounding pharmacy sent me a package via UPS and my insurance company requires the signature of an adult upon receipt. The package was to be delivered 5/15 and was not. It was re-scheduled for 5/22 but again, it was not delivered. I tracked the package throughout the day via web. The message on the web was that it would be delivered by the end of the day, so I waited and waited. At 6:30, the message changed, it no longer said when the package would be delivered. I have spent two entire days waiting in my house to receive my medicine, to no avail. UPS has a chat system... But you get a computer with standard answers. They indicate that you can contact them by email but that is false, there are a series of menus, which are complicated to navigate and do not appear to lead anywhere.

    You can call them, I did, on 5/15 on 5/16 and on 5/22. On 5/16 they said I would need to pick it up at their site on 5/17 but this was impossible because I had a business trip. They refused to reschedule the delivery until the pharmacy contacted them. On 5/22 I was transferred from one person to another but they did not resolve the problem. They requested that I stay put in my house one more day, and finally they said someone would call on 5/23. Because I was waiting for UPS, I did not even fulfill my civil duties. I could not vote in the run-off elections. The company has displayed a very unprofessional, totally unreliable behavior. Pharmacies can't rely in such a service.

    When everything goes right UPS is good. But very hard to get a hold of a person (people are very inconvenient to them) that can help you. Rare is the online cue that gives the options I need. I had to pay $5 to get a receipt (after MANY attempts - "please enter your shipper ID") - because the system did not tell me that if I didn't have an account I would not get a receipt. Luckily the first time I took a screenshot before I paid because I am used to big company arrogance.

    This multi-billion a year company told me they did not keep those records after I finally talked to someone. So, no accountability to the IRS? Administrative baloney. I got the receipt kind of but not one I could get reimbursed for. But their store locations and hours are great for soccer moms. Had to do some digging to find a drop off place less than ten minutes away if it is all ready to go. They are regular use customer friendly - occasional users are just inconvenient.

    For the last two days I have a very challenging experience with UPS. My package initially was expected on 5/10. I waited all day to find out the package was not delivered due to "wrong address". The following day 5/12 their message to me was "The company or receiver name is incorrect. This will delay delivery. We're attempting to update this information. The address was "corrected". Again, waited all day. At 7:29 PM I received a message it had been delivered at my front door. Guess what, it wasn't there. I called within 15 minutes (I was busy trying to find my package) of this message. UPS told me they would do an investigation to locate the package.

    Fortunately the people who bought our old home called us. We immediately retrieved the package. Once I looked at the label, I found it had my correct address. UPS scanned the address in without my apartment number. On the label it also had my phone number! I have come to the conclusion UPS can't read and or does not care!

    I have never cared for UPS... especially when compared to FedEx whom was always much more reliable. Many bad experiences with UPS but never did any reviews until now. What happened me today was really over the top. I had ordered a camera lens that was promised to me on Friday (5/11/18) Much to my chagrin UPS had a 12 hour window which forced me to stay home all day to wait for the delivery. Now for the bad part: I never received my item. Instead of delivering to me, they left the package off at the management office in my building which is only open until 3:30pm. Wouldn't have been so bad if I was at least notified the package was left there. Nothing!

    Even though there was a few hours left to that 12 hour window, I felt something was wrong at around 5pm. Called them and they said they didn't know what the problem was. Had to call them back several times before they finally told me what happened. Said they weren't able to reach the delivery guy for a few hours. Say what??? Isn't this the 21st Century? Nobody could call him on his mobile phone? This is without a doubt a substandard company that should do the world a favor and shut their doors down.

They said that it would take two business days to have it re-delivered which would put it past Mother’s Day.

    They said that the driver had the option of either having it picked up at the store or redelivered to my home. Because I live on the third floor they were too lazy to redeliver it. Now I’m not able to give my mother her Mother’s Day gift in time because of their laziness. I spoke with Chantel at Customer Service and she was extremely unhelpful.

    I called the supervisor back who left a number to a voicemail box, I called several times with no return calls. Every customer wants to feel important and when they have an issue they want someone to respond. I feel as if UPS is a big company that does not handle individuals. They handle mass shipping.

I purchased a 2 day shipping and told the workers this is a very important package and that I really need it to be delivered to a certain address. They said ok, told us the cost for 1-2 day shipping and that was it. 3 days later we called them, asked them where our package was and they told us they lost our package telling us, because I did not declare a price for this package the default price we are going to get for this lost package is 100 dollars.

    The manager from "1231 Franklin mall Santa Clara, CA 95050", told us he asked me before I shipped the package, if we want to declare a price for this package? I know for damn sure he never asked me that question. He was trying to trick me so he won't get in trouble for his stupid mistake. He was telling us that they always ask their customers if they want to declare a price for a package before we purchase their service.

    So this is the issue, I am on my way to Mexico from Texas to do some work on our NGO with our attorney in Mexico. The problem was that I needed some papers that were being sent to me in Texas and would not arrive before I had to leave home… Answer? Just have someone at home send them to me in Mexico when they arrive at home in Texas. In checking, they could get there by Wednesday if sent on Monday. So that is what we did. They were sent on Monday with a guarantee to arrive by Wednesday (EOD) (our meetings with the government officials were scheduled for after lunch on Thursday. No problem).

    PROBLEM… We selected UPS for our shipper. I know we all ship UPS in the States with good results… This was my first international shipment using them. The shipment did not arrive on Wednesday, or Thursday, Or Friday. Our flight left on Saturday with no word from UPS. I did do some checking on Thursday/Friday with the local UPS office… Problem, they did not answer their phone, and the tracking number did not work (“No information on that number at this time”). So, we went to the local UPS office location shown in the local website… You guessed it, no UPS store there!!! Well I am a fairly laid back guy so I did not get too excited. It also gives me an excuse to go back in August to finish the process we need to complete. Great place and the food is fantastic!

    I checked in at my local Texas UPS office when I returned to chat with them about THEIR problem. Guess what, it is not their problem, it is my problem! They will track it down and will attempt to get it back, but not only will they not reimburse the shipping charges (over $90), they will charge me to get it shipped back. Also, “with international shipments you will have to call or go online and report this issue.” They actually said that!!! When you work with a shipper that makes the USPS look like a customer focused group falling all over themselves to assist the customers… you are in trouble. THAT IS UPS. This is actually my fault… I could have picked FedEx or DHL and received my stuff. I just did not think it out. The lesson: Avoid UPS when shipping international. Both FedEx and DHL have a great record on customer satisfaction. Learn from my big mistake. THANKS.

    Two issue, both about laziness. First, when I request urgent DELIVERY by 10am, I expect it to actually be DE-LIV-ERED. UPS apparently considers "delivered" to mean "we'll let you come to US to pick it up." I took a half day off work to wait for international airline tickets that absolutely needed to reach me by 10am that day. No one showed up. At 11am I called UPS to find out what happened and they claimed it had been delivered. I finally got out of the automated system and spoke to a physical person and they informed me that the delivery was actually on the truck still and that between the hours of 12pm and 1pm I could drive to the grocery store parking lot where it would be and pick the package up myself.

    No explanation as to why they claimed it had been delivered when it had not. When I showed up to pick it up, there were -not kidding here- SEVEN UPS trucks parked in a nice neat little row at the end of the parking lot, all with the rear doors wide open and the drivers just milling about chatting. Apparently UPS feels this open-air market setup is the same as delivering to your door.

    Second, when I have to return a package and UPS is scheduled to pick the stupid thing up, I don't think it's out of line to expect that UPS actually come to the door, knock, and pick up the package. But no, apparently UPS defines "pick up" as coming to your door, NOT knocking at all, sticking a return label sticker on the door, then leaving, and letting me bring the package to them. I remember a UPS that wasn't so damned lazy.
