    Problems with UPS: They will lie and say "attempted delivery," but never show up; no info notice left; they will leave packages for other people on your front porch because they can't get in - hoping you will deliver; their customer service is like talking to a third world country; management could care less about your problem. FedEx is the way to go. Even Ontrack provides a better service than UPS. I try to work around them by asking merchant to use UPS as a last resort when sending my packages.

    Package was delivered on 15 Mar 2018. But it was delivered to the wrong address. This is not the first time this has happened. The dog at the wrong address tore up the package. I went to ups.com to find what to do and this website sent you around in circles. I still don't know how to make a claim. We have contacted Barnes & Noble and waiting to hear from them.

    I have been waiting for delivery item from UPS all morning, but when I tracked on the company website, it was recorded on there "The receiver does not want the product and refused the delivery." What a crazy lie, what irresponsible staff and company, and now after spending about £40.00 sterling for this delivery, I am expected to go to the company's local depot to pick up my item before they close depot on the Friday evening, what a shabby service?

    I was at home waiting for the driver to deliver my package, had been home for the past 2 hours, and then noticed that there was an entry on the website tracking that the driver had attempted to deliver my package and was unsuccessful. I was home all the time, my doorbell is very loud, and I was sitting waiting by the front door when the driver stated he had attempted the delivery. NO ONE tried to deliver a package! There was no notice left on my door. In fact, the website stated that this was the second attempt at delivery. There was no notice left at my door yesterday either. It took 2 phone calls to the help centre to get anyone to make an attempt at solving my problem. I was able to get them to finally agree to leave it at the local UPS store for pickup. The first assistant even refused to arrange for that option! Very disappointed in UPS. I had used them before and had been quite happy. But not this time.

    After UPS unsuccessfully tried to deliver a package to me twice, at the same time in the morning while I was at work, I chatted with someone who was very helpful in rescheduling the delivery. She asked me when would be a convenient time for delivery, I explained late in the day. She stated that my package would be delivered tomorrow (which is now today) between 5 and 7pm. In order to be home by 5, I left work early and skipped a family event at work just to wait for the delivery since they would not leave it without a signature. While sitting in my living room while continuing to stare out the window, I got an email AT 6pm stating the delivery time was changed to 8am tomorrow. Really???

    I left work early and now I am supposed to go in late tomorrow? I cannot put my life on hold! If they would have emailed me say, before 4pm to let me know of the change, ok, fair enough. But not right in the middle of the delivery window I was given! I then called and chatted with someone and of course they could do nothing but recommend I drive 45 minutes away to pick it up if I couldn't have anyone at home tomorrow morning. HORRIBLE SERVICE.

    A package was shipped to me from a large US company. When the package was 2 days late I began to inquire about it. I don't know the details, but somehow the wrong city was put in the address. I spoke in person on Friday with a person who said that the address had been corrected and package would be delivered on Monday. On Monday they said they had the correct information but they hadn't got it soon enough and the package would be delivered on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning I got a notice that they didn't have the correct address and needed more information. Again, that morning I talked to two people, one in a service center and then she arranged a local customer service lady to call me back. We went through all the info and she assured me it would be corrected, then, on the way home that evening at 6:14 PM I got another text message that information was incomplete.

    It is amazingly difficult to get to a real person with UPS on the phone, even harder to get one who doesn't speak with a foreign accent, and at this point I think nearly impossible to get one that can get anything done. This company's business is addresses. Can it really be this difficult? So that Tuesday evening, after an unproductive exchange with artificial intelligence, I tried the live chat. The pertinent info was transferred from AI to live chat.

    The next morning there was no phone call. Tracking information remained the same at 10:00 am, long after the trucks would have left the hub. I again called customer service. After a long and drawn out exchange I was told the same thing I had already been told on 4 previous exchanges. Correction was made. At 10:36 am there was an update shown on the tracking, but no indication of when delivery will be made.

    Customer service is not really customer service. They have trained apologists, and business proceeds at their pace with little concern for the customer. I realize my one package is insignificant in relation to the huge numbers, but incompetence in customer service is hidden because there is no way to complain except to the incompetent. At this point, assuming delivery is made tomorrow, it will have taken 13 days to deliver about halfway across the US. A full 6 days after notification of wrong town, which is 90 miles away and the same hub it would have came through even if address was correct. I might add that my correspondence with the company I was purchasing from has the correct address in it.

    You stay in all day having taken a day off work and then in the afternoon they reschedule the delivery for the next day. When I phoned - having finally got through their long winded, inefficient and inaccurate voice recognition phone system to speak to someone - the excuse given was 'it wasn't loaded on the van'! They don't care who the inconvenience or at what expense. This is not a one off either, I would never use them if I had a choice. And funnily - it's impossible to find the link on their website for complaints...

    We purchased extra insurance for several gifts for an upcoming tradeshow and the vendor shipped it overnight. The next day the UPS driver brought it in our office and our receiving department noticed the top was tapped back on and that it was a completely empty box. The driver said that nobody had been in his truck. We filed the insurance claim and UPS denied it, claiming it wasn't packaged in accordance with their standards. 1. Completely BS rebuttal, the vendor is a fortune 500 company that followed everything. 2. We had the box, how on earth could they determine if it was packaged correctly? 3. They accepted the box and took our money for the insurance, but then failed to pay. We're moving all of our accounts to a new company, even USPS is better than this. We had staff calling UPS trying to deal with this for an entire week with the following reports:

    Numerous times supervisors promised to call us back, yet never did. Each time they claimed they tried to call and nobody answered. That's not possible, our business is open 24/7. So their supervisors are not only dishonest, they're just plain lazy. After waiting and talking to different reps, about a third of the calls were simply disconnected by the rep when requesting to speak to a manager. One rep actually used profanity as a normal part of their conversation. Completely unacceptable.

    It's clear to me that this business is not just mismanaged, but grossly so. It really seems like they've hired from the very bottom of the labor force and then benefit from their incompetence as people simply get tired of dealing with them and just give up. The best way to deal with a company like this is to vote with your wallet and to stop dealing with them entirely.

    I have been shipping with UPS through most of my jobs. They have the worst package handlers, today was the last straw with trying to schedule a return. The driver was supposed to pick up my package at home on the tenth, they did not, I called customer service and the lady was very rude about it. She said the driver arrived and left a shipping label at the door, I was home all day! There was no knock or label to be found. UPS is the worst choice for shipping. If you are going to try and ship anything use USPS, FedEx or DHL for international. Sometimes they just bring packages to my door and don't knock, they just leave it there. I live in an apartment complex. What if my packages gets stolen because I did not know it was delivered.

    UPS is the worst delivery service out there! I’ve been waiting for a delivery for over 5 days now & they say, “it’s the weather”!?? NOPE, it’s because you all don’t have a clue how to deliver packages on time. They tell you your packages are, “on their way” and then you get a notice stating your packages aren’t coming. FEDEX is WAY BETTER. Customer Service don’t have a clue either. They had no idea where my packages were even at. Would rate 0 stars if I could!!

    The past 12-18 months, service has been terrible. Missing delivery dates, worse yet when you call to get help, you are given the run around and you are in eternal hold. Finally when you get someone, they read what is on the tracking system and tell you they can't do anything about it. Then when you ask for a supervisor, it takes another 20 minutes. They told me they will put a priority after they missed a Saturday delivery (paid extra for that - no weather issues). Call Monday morning to make sure, find out they have no clue who told me about this priority and being able to deliver early. Unfortunate but has become third or fourth rate. FedEx, USPS, DHL then MAYBE UPS! Can't blame Amazon!! Never again!!

They repeated, "It's our new policy and we have to follow policies." Most likely cancer patient will die then they might deliver it to the funeral services. Very disappointed in it. 1 lbs item cost already 175 CAD plus import duties 110 CAD 50% cost of item. Latest news. Now receiver has to pick up from some location 1 hr away from the delivery address or else it might delay more days.

    UPS takes the time to send me two emails alerting me when my package is scheduled for delivery. However on the day of delivery I’m waiting all day and about midday according to their website it has been changed to three days later. I called customer service. I was given their pet answer as to why, which doesn’t make any sense to me. They do deliver the next day however my package isn’t scheduled to be delivered for another three days although it is here in the town where I live.

    I just had an item brought into Canada by UPS. The value of the item was $127. The duties should have been 6% i.e. around $7.62. They had an amount of $14.05, almost double. HST was correct but the fees for UPS were $37.40, almost 1/3 of the value! This company has done this before. Canada Post would have charged $5 for the same service.

    Unfortunately in the area I've resided in these past 9+ years delivery service has been inadequate to not at all. There have been several incidents that I've had to notify them and ask about a package not received. Wondering if it had ever been sent. I've had responses like, "Yes we sent your package but the driver decided not to deliver it and left @ the UPS Store." I was not contacted by UPS about my package at all. When I called the UPS Store in Delaware I could only get a recording. I left a message asking if they received my package and they would NOT return my call. So I went to the UPS Store and asked about the package and was rudely told in a curt manner that they DO NOT receive packages. They are a store only. I had to persist with this off putting agent. And repeatedly informed him that main office in Marion told me it was delivered to the store in Delaware and would he please at least look for it or call the UPS Office in Marion.

    Finally he made a short trip of perhaps 25sec and found my package on a shelf in the UPS Store in Delaware. Since then I've had several occasions that I've had to try and locate my packages due to either no delivery to my home. And or no notification of even an attempt of delivery. Other times I have received my packages left at my door without any attempt to let me know that the package was placed in the hallway of my apartment bldg. in front of my door. This area is the only area of the USA that I've had poor service. I've lived in many other states in my lifetime. And never had a problem with UPS. It seems no one at the UPS Store or the main UPS Store in Marion, Ohio could give any explanation about the reasons for the poor service. Nor did they offer any apology or concern about rectifying the issue, even though it continues to happen.

    Have had packages left that were tossed about where the liquid contents literally exploded after having been exposed to freezing temperatures and could care more handling. Being a senior I often order Walmart soups. Having to deal with the mess of a box that has 5 or 6 cans out of 18 or 20 is one God awful mess. In order to meet the free shipping requirement I had no alternative but to order a box that was very heavy. Guess delivery people wanted to show their dismay but deterring a further large shipment.

    I tried twice and the results were similar. Haven't tried free shipping again with a soup order. Where is the work ethic? I complained twice to no avail. The driver or drivers just often leave my pkgs at the end of my stoop so I have to leave my apt to retrieve them. I require leg braces. Oh One Nov. they waited and delivered 20+ pkgs on a Saturday morning, I know they had to hold them for several days for that to have occurred. Anyway UPS could stand for ** at least in my experience.

Whenever there is a problem "customer service"??? does not even address the issue for days. UPS does not respect the disabled. They are an extremely poor service oriented company that is dollar driven. The only and I do mean ONLY in every sense of the word I even deal with UPS is because that's the carrier my supplier uses to ship my supplies. UPS wouldn't make good dog catchers. I have had numerous issues with their deliveries and the complaints have fallen on deaf ears. I have gone as far as to contact the corporate office about missing items and crushed boxes, Broken phones and nothing changes.

    My experience with UPS is specifically related to my driver. We have had the same UPS delivery driver for over a decade. We live remotely off of a privately owned dirt road. He knows where we live. He does not leave the packages in odd places (garage, middle of the road, etc) as other delivery services do. Once our package is loaded onto his truck, we know he will take care of it and make sure when he drops it off it is protected from wind/rain/whatever. UPS can be rough on shipments sometimes and damages packages, but overall, I am pleased.

Funny that I can be confused about an email that clearly states a day the package will be delivered with the confirmation number.

    I have a fenced yard with a gate that has a simple horseshoe shaped fastener...no lock. The UPS driver left it open when he came into the yard, thus raising the consequences of my not winning the scrum with the dogs at the door when he knocked. I asked him to please close the gate behind him when he came in. The next time he delivered he left the gate open when he came in, and the next time. I finally called and complained.

    Then I got a delivery and the driver honked at the road. He honked again, so I thought he needed help and went out to open the gate. He was standing on the other side of the gate and wouldn't step into my yard, but he thrust out the tablet for me to go and sign. I went to him and signed the tablet, and he got into his truck and left. The gate was wide open and he left me with a sizable box to take through the yard. As an elderly person with medical issues I have found ordering online to be very convenient for me, especially as the items I order are brought to my door (unless Kevin is delivering).

    I have called UPS about this 8 or 9 times. I have no hope that he will ever bring a box to my door. He honks and if I don't go out quickly, he sticks a note onto my fence and drives off. He is very unfriendly and seems to think that we are feuding. He is feuding, I am merely complaining about it. My dogs are always in my house unless I am outside with them. His opening the gate would not let my dogs out, because they are house pets and only go out to frolic when I am with them. Unfortunately, with the gate left open, when I go out to sign and get my package if one of my dogs got out of the house, they would enjoy their freedom until they were hit by a car, picked up by someone with no good intentions or returned on their own. But Kevin cannot in good conscience bring my package in and close the gate behind himself, and oddly enough, he is the only person who makes deliveries to me that has that problem with the gate.

    FedEx closes my gate behind them when they bring a package to my door, and likewise, the lady that works for the Post Office brings packages to my door and closes the gate behind herself when she comes in, too. When I spoke with UPS the time before last, I was told that Kevin was getting a different route, but he is still wearing his uniform and driving the truck (which is what I think he really wants to do, because he certainly doesn't want to do his job). Since I am unable to drive, when Kevin doesn't do his job, I have to call someone to go and pick up my package from the UPS store.

Or you contact customer service and it's not customer service at all. But when they do arrive at my Door very nice local fellows! Love ‘em.

    Out of DHL, FedEx I would say UPS is definitely the best. Their drivers are very nice and cooperative and always bring my item to the top of the stairs. FedEx dumps it right in front of my garage and since I back my car out of the garage there have been several times that I nearly ran over the package because of their laziness to bring it upstairs to my porch. I think UPS is very good and their drivers are very friendly and cooperative.

    I have no complaints about UPS. I know the drivers/deliverers work really hard and long hours. I'm not really comfortable with "delivery by the end of the day" as half the year that usually means after dark when I really don't want to open my door. Still, they regularly do get the package to me on the date specified, and tracking/notification options are very helpful.

You can apply for informed delivery which has proven to be successful. You can receive an e-mail or text as to when your package will be delivered and when it is delivered.

    I live on a busy corner. My garage door is on the side of the house about 15 feet from the street. UPS almost always leave my boxes right there next to the traffic instead of taking them a few more feet to front door which has a gate and is more protected with much less visibility. USPS always puts my packages on the front porch. It is also VERY FRUSTRATING if you attempt to get hold of UPS if you have a problem because it is IMPOSSIBLE!!

On March 1, 2018, I received an email that stated the package would be delivered between 9a - 1:30p (which is a time that they give you but it doesn't mean that they will come as I was told after 1:30p). I waited at home during this time, no delivery. Called "customer service" concerning this issue and was told that the package would be delivered sometime before the "end of the day". When asked what time was the "end of the day, was told 7pm. I waited until 8:30p, no delivery. I come home and a slip is on the door for a "missed" delivery at 9p.

    March 5, 2018, 2nd delivery attempt, I decided to complete the previous delivery slip with signature to request package to be left at the door. I go to work, come home to another slip (on top of the first one) that says "signature required" to receive the package (which btw is a book!). I call UPS customer service and am told that the package will be available for pickup at a UPS local center and that I would receive a call when it was available. I received a voicemail stating that the package will be ready for pick-up between 8p-9p. I look online for directions and find out this pick-up location closes at 7pm!!! I call customer service again, I am told by rep. that "I can pick up the package tomorrow before 7pm" (so yeah, I have a job too so not sure how that's going to work). The rep insisted on repeating the same line over and over again so I asked to speak with a supervisor.

    I was put on hold approximately 5-6 times to "transfer" me to a supervisor. Lo and behold, no supervisor answered or connected to the call. The rep stated that "he is not answering his phone". She also mentioned that the supervisor is not on duty so I asked her who has she been putting me on hold to "transfer" to? Told the rep that I would wait while she continued to contact the supervisor. I asked for a direct number, or a voicemail box to leave a message and was told that wasn't available. This call ended with the Rep telling me that she is leaving an email "message" for the supervisor to call (me) within the hour and to "look out for the phone call" (REALLY!). Needless to say, the call never came and I am still waiting to receive/pick up a book that was scheduled to be delivered 4 days ago! This is the worst experience that I have ever had.

    UPS your service was a complete disappointment! I ordered a new mattress that you were supposed to deliver. I logged into your "My UPS" online to get notifications on when my package would be delivered. I missed the first 2 "attempts" because your site did not update that the package was "on the truck" or "on its way". Today was the last straw. I did everything to prepare for this package to make sure I would get it. I left special delivery instructions to leave at my front door and I waived the signature but on top of that my fiance took a day off work so he would be home to accept the package. So here's where things went wrong...

    Apparently it's the driver's discretion whether to agree to the "waive signature" rule. When you deliver to a house, you ring the door bell/knock on the door... How is a condo different? NO ONE knocked on the door. After getting in touch with the dispatcher, she was extremely rude saying she called through the intercom (no one picked up) but didn't physically go into the building to talk to security (which security was given instructions about this delivery by me in the morning). I realized the dispatcher wasn't completely honest because how could a "sorry we missed you" notice be placed on my mailbox if they never entered the building?

It was literally the most ridiculous thing ever. Hung up and called back to get someone else who clearly was not in America either, but spoke and understood better English, said they could not have my package left at my local access point even though I had been stating to all representatives that all of my packages recently have been getting stolen and these were a $200 pair of UGG boots and I needed it to not be dropped off even if they just kept it on the truck and tried redelivery another day or something, ANYTHING.

    Spent over an hour calling, holding, being transferred, being disrespected/mocked/argued with, and by that point the package was delivered. Mind you, there is 2 very large signs in front of my door, clearly stating "UPS/FEDEX bring boxes to back steps due to theft of packages" yet the box was left DIRECTLY under that sign, right in the front of my house (which is on a busy city main road) and I had to have my brother rush over there to put my package inside before it got stolen because I had been called into work and couldn't be home. My sister was on the phone already with someone who actually was willing to help and seemed to know how to do their job because they stated to her that leaving all future packages at the local access point would not be a problem and they deal with this all the time in urban cities. She calls me to tell me everything is great for the future and someone would be calling me back.

    Almost as we were hanging up I get the call from my local UPS, but she tells me that everything my sister was just told was not true and they cannot hold future packages for me at my local access point without me setting it up on my choice for each individual package at least 24 hours in advance. Sick of the runaround and all over the place information, thanked her and ended the call. Tried using MyChoice 3 or 4 times before this package was to be delivered. I created a login and go to change delivery options, it tells me I have to be logged in, so I log in again successfully, and repeat. Just all around AWFUL experience as usual. UPS is the ONLY company that constantly has a problem delivering. Every. Single. Time.

    Always losing packages, leaving them at the wrong house, leaving them ON THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE pretty much on the edge of the street, as stated above ignoring a large sign stating to put boxes in rear which is only 10 feet from the front door, lack of understanding or willingness to work with customers, I’ve received stuff broken before and the only people that suffer due to this is me or the shipper who has to replace merchandise which shouldn’t have been handled so improperly to begin with.

    I personally have taken time out of my day to make sure all mailboxes are labelled properly, signs have been made to prevent any errors of not knowing where to leave packages and our house number is large and not hidden by anything or hard to find, right smack dab center of the front of the house, yet still this is too complicated for delivery drivers to comprehend. They are just careless and it is disgusting this is such an ongoing problem with so many customers, UPS needs to seriously better monitor drivers and come up with a better solution for customers’ needs when it comes to expensive items being entrusted with you!

    So UPS is a joke. And I'm sure this isn't news. I've been home all month, and not once did the delivery guy attempt to deliver my package to me. He left a notice of delivery in the front building of my lobby, stacked UNDER a bunch of other non related notes and notices all bunched up together. Usually notices are received to our mailboxes, which just shows how quarter assed is the service when the delivery not only can't make it to your front door, but not even to the mailboxes of your entire building.

    My neighbour saw the notice a few weeks after it was posted up and contacted me to let me know. I went to go pick it up this very past weekend and was told that it was sent to Vaughn and being held at Concord and to give UPS a call. I had to wait till Monday because of business hours. After I called UPS first thing this Monday morning, I was told to contact the sender of the package (Amazon), to get them to give UPS a call about this issue. I did that, and lmfao... The guy at Amazon tells me that UPS disposed of my package, claiming it was "abandoned". Also, it was MY package, so why couldn't they just tell me that themselves?! The fact that I was told to call Amazon, to call them, to delivery the same message back to me... Ridiculous. Wasting everybody's time.

    Why didn't they even try to call me to let me know, before sending it to the middle of nowhere, and disposing of it so fast... This happened all because UPS's delivery guys can't even do their "delivery" jobs. He went right up to my building, traveled all the way with the package... Just to leave a notice at the front lobby entrance, which I happen to never exit out from, hidden under a bunch of other papers. He didn't even bother to ring the buzzer, nothing. Oh, and to add... He didn't even have the energy to write my first name on the notice, just my last??? The delivery guys at the UPS always just drop their notice and run. They don't care where it ends up. I've seen packages, just left by the elevators, which I personally delivered to the units myself. UPS's delivery department needs a purge. UPS = Ur Package Sayonara.

    Dropped off a package last week at local UPS store in Miami Gardens, FL. When package did not arrive per schedule I called UPS 800 number. They told me I should: "Return to the UPS store and ask them if my package was shipped!" What??? So bottom line: In order to save time UPS drivers now pick up packages at their stores WITHOUT SCANNING THEM INTO THE UPS SYSTEM. This means that your package is not entered into the UPS tracking system just because you left it at a store. It is not in the system until it gets scanned at the local processing facility in Hialeah, FL. Until it reaches arrives there and is scanned it is untraceable and no one can be held responsible for its whereabouts. This means that if the driver is running late due to traffic, or if your packages arrive at the processing center during a shift change or awkward time, anyone can throw your package into the nearest dumpster with impunity.

    I know because this is what happened to me. My package disappeared and UPS customer service says they have no record that it was ever shipped from the UPS store where I left it and paid for delivery. Bottom line: UPS is a third world company with third world processes intentionally designed to allow packages to go missing with no accountability. I will never, ever use UPS again as long as I live.

    Delivery driver in Henderson Ky won’t knock - This is the third time this has happened to me within the past 6 months! When having to sign for a package he won’t even bring the package to the door or ring doorbell or knock. He slips up there and puts the first attempt notice on the door. The bad part about this is I literally sit and watched him do this and was 2 feet away from the door! I also have it on camera. So I called the office in Owensboro Ky and the lady told me he had a heavy workload, basically called me a liar and said he will come back tomorrow for a second attempt but you can drive to Owensboro to get it. Ok so because your driver can’t ring the doorbell you want me to drive 45 minutes to get it!!

    I’m sorry if he has a heavy workload but I work 3rd shift. I get things delivered at a certain time! Maybe he wouldn’t have a heavy load if he would deliver the things and knock! What was mind blowing is FedEx came 15 minutes before this worker knocked and rung my bell and guess what! I signed. So if you're in the Henderson Ky area good luck because several people have said they have been doing this. For what it’s worth I’m sending the video to corporate. They think people are dumb and I also have a large dog that barks when anyone even is outside. So today I’ve got my door wide open and sitting in front of it. I’m not letting this go because it’s the 3rd time.

    February 7th - Ordered package from China. February 11th - Received message from supplier that the package has shipped and will be delivered on February 15th. February 13th - Received message from supplier to contact shipper for customs clearance. February 14th - Received message from UPS that the delivery date has been updated to February 19th. February 15th - I speak to representative at UPS who asked me to email invoice to ** and he said there was no charge if the invoice was under $2500.00. February 16th - Never heard back from UPS, so I called back and spoke with Lashonda ** who asked me to resend the invoice to her personal UPS email.

    February 19th - Never heard back from UPS, so I called Lashonda ** and she said she didn't receive the email, even though it showed as sent on my email. February 19th - UPS attempt delivery. I was not home but I was able to communicate with the UPS driver though my video doorbell. The driver didn't want to leave the package until $103.23 Import tax/Brokerage fee had been paid. February 20th - I went to the office and told them that there should not be any fee as the invoice is under $2500.00. Nobody knew anything and told me to call the toll free number at UPS. February 21st - I spoke to Danette from UPS and I was on the phone with her for 25 minutes. She asked for my phone number just in case we get hung up. After 25 minutes the phone went dead. I tried to call back, but the office was closed. Danette never called me back.

    February 22nd - I drove 50 miles to the UPS office and waited 45 minutes and the man behind the counter told me to pay $103.23 even though the supplier told me that they paid. It didn't show on the UPS ticket. I was going to pay again and the man said they don't accept cash or credit cards, only money orders or cashier's check. February 23rd - I went back to UPS to pick up the package again thinking that the payment has gone through. They told me it still doesn’t show in their system and that sometimes it could take 2-5 days.

    February 27th - I contacted the supplier (who have been very good to me) to cancel the order, because now it has been 2 weeks and UPS does not know what they are doing. March 1st - UPS again attempted to deliver the package and insisted that I still owe $103.23. I told them because they don't know what they are doing, I will NEVER do business with them or any other company that is doing business with them.

    March 2nd - UPS driver from yesterday advised me to call the UPS headquarters in Atlanta to get results. I called and spoke with a supervisor by the name of Jan. After outlining the details of my troubles, Jan (who didn’t listen to a word I said) told me to contact the local office even though I told her that I had tried for 2 weeks at the local level to retrieve my package, and I had a receipt that the shipper had paid the fees, proceeded to tell me to contact the shipper. Everyone at UPS doesn’t know what they are doing and they all want to pass the blame on another person. UPS is by far the worst company that I have ever dealt with.

    Paid 5 times the price for a "upgrade" and a faster ship date. The Twitter @upshelp lied, backpedaled and tried to make me feel like it was my fault their system offered a ship date and they dropped the ball. They do business with USPS. My package was gonna be a USPS SurePost. But, UPS gets the package from the shipper, and gives it to your local post office. By upgrading for 3.50 UPS cuts 1 day off the shipping, and delivers it themselves. Also, pay 5.00 and get a sooner ship date, cheaper than the shipper. So after both of these, they are charging me 5x the original by duplicate charges, and ignoring the earlier ship date, and ignoring the overcharges. Don't use the upgrade or give them a chance to rip you off.

    I sent an envelope to Mexico City. I never said I wanted the cheaper way, I just needed it to be on time. I paid $66 for sending an envelope. I sent it 2/16, they told me delivery date would be 2/26, I thought they always tell you it takes longer to cover themselves in case doesnt get on time. It never happened. On 2/26 after checking all day long at 9 pm the status changes to delivery date on 3/5. Three weeks! Three weeks! I went to the UPS store to find the reason, they sent me to customer (dis)service. I've talk to several agents who can only read what I can see in the tracking history, I explained the situation over and over, no one knows why, no one can do anything, I was offered to get a call back three times which never happened.

    I sent an email through the website to complain and the answer I received was "the tracking scans are not showing any kind of issue with the truck, it does show that it still in transit to Mexico." Well, yeah I knew that! But no answer about the fact that the delivery date was moved to one week later! Then they also replied "It appeared that this shipment was sent Standard service with is the slowest service" because it was sent by land, which I didn't know. I spoke to the UPS staff where I dropped the package and they told me "oh, we didn't know standard was sent by land, we are also learning with you." What kind of service is that!!!

    I have called several times, talked to customer (dis)service representatives, supervisors, UPS store staff, international problem solver and I'm still waiting... And on top, the delivery date was changed again to 3/6. I can't believe a shipping is taking 18 days! This has been a nightmare. UPS has no customer service at all, no trained people, no customer oriented staff... Never ever going to use it again.

    This is kind of surreal, when I went to ship my uncle's laptop to a buyer, right off the bat, the lady at the counter asked me what was in my box, I replied that wasn't her business and her reply was I should look for another shipper. Wow, what is that all about but the guy who supposedly bought the laptop, requested UPS to ship, so I paid 140.25 cents for overnight shipping and 2000.00 dollar of insurance and a signature. I went home and complained to UPS about her. I then went to my PayPal acct after I sent the tracking number to the buyer and looked for my payment of 1600.00 dollars, tried several times then realize there was a problem, I went to PayPal and they told me they had no idea what I was talking about. I got scammed, apparently.

    So I got online to these idiots, UPS, and via chat and a live phone call was basically told that there wasn't much they could do, to go back to the shipper and complain to them, I informed the little moron that it would be too late cause they didn't open here till after 2:30 in the afternoon and I would lose the laptop. On their site, it tells you you can request a hold or stop delivery, but every time I tried to use it online, I was looped back to the original page I started on and no way to get that done, so I finally freaked and told them, "What the hell good is a tracking number if I cant get this done?"

    Why would I ship with these idiots? I told them I want that box back as I was scammed by a phony PayPal acct and some crook. It took me hours and much aggravation to finally get it done, it was outrageous. So now, I get home today with the pkg and what do I find when I open it? Someone opened my package and repacked it. My God, what the heck is going on here? I'm currently charging it and if there is anything wrong with it, I'm going to get a lawyer, because I'm that angry.

    I worked for this company for almost 3 years, and saw the horrors of their package handling first hand. The belts that carry all the boxes constantly jam up with overflow and I saw countless packages destroyed in heinous ways because of the fact that they take on way more than their system is built to handle. Supervisors would jump and walk on the boxes with long poles and jab at the jammed up packages like they were harpooning a cardboard whale.

    I repair vintage electronics in my spare time and have now had a total of THREE rare machines that were packed extremely well by their senders, be completely destroyed beyond repair by this company. I always tell anyone sending me anything to PLEASE DO NOT USE UPS! Sometimes they do it anyways, and the box arrives covered in boot prints, with a giant dents and tears in it.

    Another thing that gets to me is that the driver will come up with a box that looks like it was just the victim of chokeslam off the top ropes, and keep a straight face when asking for your signature. Really!? Also, here in NYC where everyone lives in apartment buildings, UPS drivers think it's cool to leave your package in the unlocked front foyer where anyone walking on the street outside can come in and take it. They'll ring your apt number and if you're at work or in the shower they'll drop it where they stand. Instead of getting let in by one of the other 50 people in living in the other 25 units, they find it easier and quicker to leave it there instead of behind a locked main door. This has happened to us so many times that our building had to post a sign specifically for UPS drivers not to leave deliveries in an unlocked and visible foyer and do you think they stopped? You can guess that one.

    Seriously, what more can a company do to prove to you that they don't care about your items, I wonder? Start throwing them out the side door as they speed by your residence like some deranged paperboy? I bet they'd actually have LESS damaged boxes if they starting doing that. I cannot fully express how little faith I have in this company to do the job that they're supposed to do. I'd rather take my chances having a package flung wildly in my general direction by a giant catapult rather than UPS.

    UPS has a systemic problem with lost, stolen, or damaged packages. Internal theft seems to be rampant. Should they lose your package, it's up to YOU to do the legwork to find out what's going on. When things are lost in-transit, there's nothing you can do but wait. Do you order another item from somewhere else? But what if you end up with two of the same items if it finally arrives? This state of limbo can last for weeks. Just pay a few more bucks and go with a better carrier. Let's hope that Amazon succeeds in eating their lunch -- it would be well deserved.

    Driver has lied twice about delivery attempts. Have contacted UPS twice to talk about this. No return call ever comes. Overnight delivery service paid $21.99 - UPS Union Driver has lied twice about making delivery attempts. Both times we were at home awaiting the delivery. While at home on Saturday 2/17 at 10:36am, we got the notification that delivery was attempted. We were at home at that time, we rushed to the door - no driver on the road, no UPS truck. On Monday 2/19 at 10:34am, we got another notification that delivery was attempted, and we were at home at that time. We contacted UPS on 2/17 and 2/19 and got the same canned response.

    Based on the lies claiming the delivery time arises suspicion. The times are within 2 minutes of each other on different days. This is a CLEAR INDICATION of driver fraud. From experience dealing with Union drivers, we suspect that the driver is abusing company time. While he is supposed to be out on delivery, we suspect that he is doing other activities, either at a friend's house, or using a controlled substance, at home, or parked behind a building asleep. He then updates his pad and pretends that no one was home. He banks on the fact he is a member of the Union and that management will have no power to enforce abuse of Company time and resources while the company absorbs the costs and takes the blame.

    I would like to complain about UPS. For at least 3 or more years, UPS has failed to deliver anything to my house. Several years back, I watched UPS leave a package that belonged to me at my neighbor's house. As soon as the neighbor went outside to get the package, I asked him if it was mine. He looked and said yes. He said his house number, 1540, was clearly marked and the address on the package, 1542, was also clearly marked. Why couldn't the driver go one house over to find my house to deliver it to me?

    Similar problems have continued over the past few years and it doesn't matter who the driver is, they won't deliver to my house. Last year, I was expecting a portable air conditioner. The tracking told me to expect it that day. When UPS pulled up to my street, they appeared as if they were going to whiz past my house with my package without stopping to deliver it to me. I had to run out into the street to flag the driver to get him to stop. The driver at that time told me his computer system told him to expect a two story house and my house was only one story.

    A few months ago, I tried to order some essential oils from Lor Ann Oils. I entered my address and the info from the website said that UPS did not deliver to my house. I had to have the package sent to my mother's house just two blocks away. I have ordered other things from companies which did not specify the shipper, and I haven't received those packages. I have had no problems receiving packages from the USPS (United States Postal Service) or from Federal Express. I just have problems with UPS as they are clearly discriminating against me. What is the problem, did I speak out against someone corrupt high up in UPS? It is a simple error in the UPS computer system, why can't UPS correct it?

    I received numerous packages with no problem whatsoever. Three weeks ago my nightmare began, innocently enough, with a notice left on my door stating “delivery attempted”. There were two people at home plus myself, none of us heard a knock or the doorbell ring. I called and requested redelivery. Twice again, supposedly delivery was attempted and again nobody ever heard either a knock or a ring. I called again and delivery was yet again rescheduled. Upon tracking I found out that these particular packages had been instead been returned to senders. Senders have not received them yet, UPS carrier facility signed for them. I did not authorize these returns and sender has not received them, so I’m having trouble getting my money back.

    After this first occurrence, UPS has been nothing short of a nightmare. Nothing else was ever delivered to me, or dumped at or thrown at my door, as UPS so kindly did for thirty years. I kept finding stickers on my door stating that delivery was attempted but neither a knock or a ring was ever heard and everybody at the delivery address was fully aware that these deliveries were arriving. This is an apartment but not an apartment building, these are more like townhouses where the door is literally six short steps from where the UPS truck can park directly in front of the home. Until reading reviews here on Consumeraffairs.com we thought we were losing our minds.

    UPS customer service is utterly unhelpful, they can apologize till the cows come home but this does not make up for the frustration, the disappeared items, the lost money, the massive amounts of time wasted sitting around tracking and waiting, and calling their 800 number, wading through their horrid phone system, and dealing with unhelpful employees who can only tell me that all they have to go by is what the driver tells them. I have worked similar jobs. As a rep you deal with a lot of frustrated customers and you have quite limited options on actually providing any real assistance. Reps are neither able nor willing to attempt to provide any resolution whatsoever other than telling you to take it up with somebody else, like the sender; the sender never receives the item in return so I can’t get my money refunded.

    Reps also keep telling me that they will call me back within one hour, which never happened except for once; and I was called back at the wrong number, perhaps so someone could say they had called but nobody answered. So, apparently it is now quite common for drivers to sneak up to one’s door and leave a sticker without knocking. Really, how low can this company sink. I am now asking for returns on every single item that has not been delivered and that disappeared; maybe somebody will have to come with a label and report the item as disappeared, and just maybe that might give another level of complaint besides the unhelpful customer service reps on the phone - since the driver’s input appears to be valued above anything else. Not holding my breath though.

    I’m canceling anything that has not yet been shipped. And I am NEVER using UPS again. This will mean loss of business for vendors / resellers, whose fault this is just as much as it is mine, as in none at all; but I just cannot hurry up and wait forever for items that were thrown at my door for thirty years but now UPS has become incapable of even doing that, and the “driver’s discretion” is suddenly the only thing that matters. What has happened to so many other reviewers here with items of deceased family members, and other expensive items such as servers, computers, equipment, parts; and high fees for not providing next-day service with excuses that the bright clear sunshiny day was a serious inclement weather condition, etcetera, is intolerable.

    If UPS is incapable of providing these services, they should not be offering them. If certain packages are too heavy for drivers to deliver, UPS should have a truck and two drivers reserved for heavy shipments 2-3 times a week. I’m curious, though - if they can make the effort of sneaking up to the door to leave a sticker, why can’t they just sneak up and leave the damned packages?

    UPS customer service is horrible, from the technical support to the customer service in the stores. We have a business account with UPS and it happens to be the closest option to our office, but I go out of my way to use FedEx to avoid the service I receive at UPS. Good luck solving any problem you may have with your account, the chat personnel will hang up on you and you can go through several without ever solving your issue, no matter how simple or complicated it may be.

    Horrible service and lies. Every UPS rep gives a different excuse why the package is a week late being delivered and none make sense. First the tracking # shows at 9:10 am on day of delivery "The receiver does not want the product and refused the delivery" but the business doesn't open until 10 am so that was untrue IF delivered to the correct address. At 9:13 am they say, "The street number is incorrect. The package will be returned to the sender!". My point is if they were at the CORRECT address to begin with and they saw the business was closed they should have tried to redeliver after they open! No wonder someone refused the package if it wasn't a business or even the correct street address to match the UPS shipping label.

    I call UPS that night when I learn about all of this drama to ask they stop the package while still in GA and re-deliver the package the following day and they said they would and will call me the next morning between 10-11 am but no call and the package went back to NC! One person said it was not delivered because 1 letter was left out of the name of the business but another UPS rep said they go by the address and not the name so which one lied? The next rep said the address doesn't exist but this building was my bank for 10 years with the same address and it is shows this company and the same address on GOOGLE so how do they decide it is not a valid address???

    Then the same person in the next sentence said "However we have delivered there before". FEDEX and USPS have no issues delivering to this same business on a busy road on the corner of the street at a traffic light for all to see! I could go on with all of their incompetence but it raises my blood pressure. They charged $81 with a guarantee of delivery by 4:00 the next day back in January. Now it's Feb. 6, 2018 at 4:29 pm and still no package! Now tracking shows out for delivery since before 7 am today but no guarantee on time or any refund offered. If I have a choice I will never use UPS for the rest of my life under any circumstances.

    I took off work early to be home when my package was delivered, and the delivery person was not only late, but never rang the door bell when they got to my house. They simply wrote a “sorry we missed you” note and left. Completely unacceptable. If I take off work to be here for you, the least they could do is their job. Also, they put the prior day’s date on my form. Very disappointed. Will not be using again.

    UPS delivered a picture to my mother which was an Christmas present. Despite being well packaged all 4 corners of frame were damaged. I opened a dispute with them where they picked up the picture, replaced the frame with a substandard cheap frame, lost the glass, scratched the print and returned the picture with the frame broken again. They have tried to make this impossible to resolve and shifted blame to me. Over 2 months now of answering emails and still no closer to resolving situation. Avoid this company at all costs. Not worth the hassle.

    I just sat here all day on a Saturday because when I tracked my package it said “will be delivered by the end of the day, requires signature.” With today’s date.

    So, end of the day no package, so I look to see where it is, it has been sitting in the same place for 35 hours! So I call the automated tracking and it says the package won’t be here for another FOUR DAYS. Every time I see that a package is coming to me via UPS I just sigh, because I know it will be terrible service, and slow. Please fix your tracking. I will be figuring out a way to never have UPS deliver to me again.

    Family heirlooms and original ceramic art delivered broken in pieces... many pieces. I put my trust in UPS to deliver to my new home, many unique pieces and insured items for 1k to 10k. These items showed up at the new address in a multiple of pieces. I am so disheartened, it is not believable. I will not ever have these pieces back. Shame on UPS. This reminds me of the time UPS was supposed to deliver a 1949 Bottle of rare wine and they left the bottle out in the snow and did not ever ring the doorbell... should have been a red flag.

    I was sent a return label called an RS1. The driver was observed sneaking up to my door and sliding the label into my door. So as not to be heard. I had the box ready to go. I called the UPS line explained what happened. They said the guy would pick up the next day. No show. Called again they said no record of this being scheduled. They can schedule for 11 dollars. They only have to come once for a rs1. This is the worst treatment I have experienced from a delivery service. Shame on you UPS. FedEx for me from now on... My neighbors are even outraged by this.

    Per UPS tracking, the package was on the truck for delivery at 6:59 this morning. The scheduled delivery date was today by end of day. At 7:00pm the delivery date was changed to tomorrow by end of date. I called customer service and was lied to. The UPS agent stated the package is not in my state. He also stated that the package does not require a signature and would be left outside tomorrow. The package is coming from Best Buy and people steal. It should have been delivered per tracking. What’s the purpose of giving tracking numbers, if UPS is not going to deliver packages on the scheduled date.

    UPS lost a package I sent to a client from the UPS store. Not only did they lose the package, they filled out and put wrong zip code on my package. Package was in transit from PHX to MN. Package went to PHX to Chicago back to PHX then back to Chicago then somewhere in MN. After three weeks this package was loaded, unloaded, loaded, unloaded several times like 8 times. Client canceled the order and requested full refund which I had no choice to do as he thought he was being scammed and thought tracking number was fake. UPS finally returned package on there $ after realizing they screwed up but when package showed up it was destroyed with all the equipment damaged beyond repair. So I setup a claim. Inspector comes out tells us this package should have come back this damaged. Units were bubbled and 1 inch foam padding and support were added to the box along with the 1 1\2 inch of bubble on the units.

    Claim agent said that we had enough packing and it was due to the 3 plus weeks the box was lost rerouted and beat up. To make this worse UPS sold us the box for $19. UPS denied the $1047 claim and refuse to pay any amount. I am out a client and the servers even though they all said it was their fault. I would recommend FEDEX in the future as they are much better to deal with on claims. This was clearly their fault and package on the road lost for 3 weeks plus and other boxes being thrown on top of my package crushed the box and all the contents, UPS should be ashamed to return this box back to me in this condition!!!

    Not only did they send the box back to me but just left it at front door and walked away. $1097 package just left at front door!!! Keep in mind they paid freight back to me due to the mistake. I have stopped using UPS and will not ever use them again nor will I recommend them to my clients. The small claim amount could have been made up by UPS in no time with the amount of shipping I do!!!

    This is the second time this month that I placed orders with different companies that use UPS and I have not received my package from H&M because I got a email saying they delivered but I couldn’t understand how because I wasn’t home. I have two young kids who weren’t home either but somehow they decided to leave my package at the door which ended up getting stolen by someone because I live in a building like their service suck so bad.

    Today 1/30 I was waiting for a package that I been tracking all morning and get this today is my day off so I wasn’t able to do anything because the package was coming between the hours of 10:15-2:15. Here it is 3:28 no package. They fail to communicate them. They expect you to sit home all day waiting. I have children who I pick up from school. Who can actually sit home all day. This is the worst service to ever order though. If I had a choice I would never order through this company. UPS is the worst. They get a big 0 for their service???

    Paintings and family photos of our deceased mother were delivered to the wrong address, creating a great deal of anxiety to the intended recipient. It was not cheap and took close to a week. A notification was sent to the recipient that the package had been delivered, but the recipient reported to me, the sender, that it was nowhere to be found. The recipient was very upset. The next day, the recipient found the package on the veranda of the neighbor's house. When the recipient phoned to complain to UPS about careless delivery, there was a proforma apology.

    The recipient requested a call back to discuss it further. But the callback never came despite two phone calls by the sender over several days and two more promises to the sender that the recipient would receive a callback in an hour. The initial complaint phone tree was difficult to access and cumbersome and seems to be set up to receive complaints from the recipient only. As sender, I had to twice insist on making a separate complaint (as sender who paid) and twice requested that the recipient receive a callback. The recipient is still very unhappy days later. At the delivery and complaints end, UPS was very disappointing.

    Ordered a guitar from Reverb. Paid $60 for shipping and handling. Was supposed to be here 1/25/18. Waited all day. Delivery driver didn't knock on my door and just left notice. I live in a house so it's not difficult to knock on the door like a UPS delivery employee is supposed to. He did the same thing on 1/26, so I called to let UPS know and they sent a message to dispatch and he said, "OK I will be there after 7 pm" and he never showed up. Once again, I called UPS back to tell them he never showed up and they told me it would DEFINITELY be here Saturday 1/27. Never showed up of course, so I called AGAIN only for them to tell me it's not coming until Monday and they aren't going to do anything about it. I think the delivery driver and the person who told me at 10:00 pm it would be here Saturday should be fired personally. Do your job right!

    While in N.Y. I paid to have items shipped back to Los Angeles, where I live. Delivery was scheduled for today, January 26th. I stayed home all day for delivery, however... at 1:30pm, I received an email saying unable to deliver, no one home. I live in a condo, where you need to call to be buzzed in. No such call came. There was no attempted delivery notice on outside door. I phoned UPS, who took my complaint and said someone would call me.

    4:30pm phoned again as no call was received and to inquire on my package. Was told driver now out area and could not redeliver. I pitched a fit, and after being on hold, was told driver would redeliver tonight. 7:45pm no delivery. Phoned again, and after being on hold for over 15 minutes, hung up and called back. Was told driver had ended his shift, would not be redelivering, AT ALL, and package was being sent to a pick up location, where I could pick it up Monday, after 1PM. 8:15pm had to call and yet another # for UPS to file a complaint, to yet another person who said someone would call me.

    This is unacceptable! I pay to have something shipped. Wait all day to be lied to by a driver who clearly did not attempt delivery; customer service saying I would receive a call back that never came; customer service again who said driver would be coming back out but didn't... This has been a wasted day with multiple wasted efforts and many promises but with no recourse for the consumer. I am at a loss of what to do. Pray my items show up at pickup location? What if they don't. Who is accountable??? I am furious and frustrated! DO NOT USE UPS EVER.

    Updated on 1/29/2018: Went to Access Point where they sent my package, after lying about a delivery attempt to find the package damaged, tape ripped, and tube opened! Phoned again to update my complaint, which still remains unaddressed.

    UPS completely lacks any intuition or interest in customer service. I ordered an expensive item online and when I checked out I gave a PO Box as that's the easiest way for me to ensure I can pick up my items. Turns out UPS refuses to deliver to PO boxes and when I contacted them to sort out a way to get the item either by pick up through my boyfriend or a delivery to my home address or a nearby UPS place (which would cost $6; after paying for shipping the first time, I refuse to pay again), there was so much red tape that I had no other option than to contact the online store and ask them to contact UPS to update my mailing address. This, I know, will result in another failed delivery as I live in an apartment and work during delivery hours and so I will still need to find a way to pick up my stuff. Never use UPS. This goes out to individuals and companies.

    We use FEDEX 95% of the time for this reason. Occasionally we give our UPS account # to a vendor to ship materials to us. UPS suspended our account because they received a $118 payment LATE. SUSPENDED with no warning, no notice, not a courtesy email or phone call. They got their payment, and did not take our account off of suspension. After being told by a Vendor they couldn't use our account number, I had to go through the awful phone system and speak to someone in another country to UN-SUSPEND the account because the system doesn't un-suspend you automatically when payment is received. So if you don't call and speak to one of their Gremlins, your account will stay suspended FOREVER. HORRIBLE.

    The box was damaged in shipping the child's desk I sent had a corner broken off and the roll top was jammed. I had purchased insurance. YOUR INSURANCE IS A JOKE. WHOSE BASEMENT DO THEY WORK OUT OF? I sent this package in Oct. I called today to find out the status of this claim. I was told you could not talk to me because I had not sent the package. He could not read my name but managed to find my mom the person it was sent to. Finally, I got the insurance group. She said the claim was denied because my packaging did not meet their standards, odd it did meet the standards of the UPS CENTRAL TERMINAL that approved it and marked it FRAGILE and finished taping it up for me.

    Then to add insult to injury I spent $189.92 including $10.00 for insurance. Then the denial letter was sent to the UPS TERMINAL NOT ME. Found out this today Jan. 24 2018. I cannot find a rating for their insurance. COULD THIS BE WHY? I have never had a claim but I can assure you I will let everyone know how this simple repair was handled. It was under $250.00 in damages. I have dealt with car insurance companies that were better than this at their very worst.
