    I have next day air shipment with UPS. It should deliver on Thursday. Online tracking shows technical issue cant update. About 9 pm in evening I have contacted UPRS by phone. There was a wait of 30 minutes to talk with representative. Once representative came on phone, I asked for shipment update and he said, "Your shipment is on vehicle. It will be deliver today." I asked it's already 9:30 pm and online tracking dont show that shipment is on vehicle. He replied, "I have checked. Shipment is with Driver. It will be deliver today. Due to holiday season we will deliver up to 11 pm." On that day I did not receive shipment.

    Next day morning again I called UPS. Another 30 minutes wait and representative said, "I am not sitting in your state so I can not do anything, I am sending message to the local office and they will open at 9 am then they will call you between 9 to 10 am. You will get call from local office between 9 to 10 am." Until 10:15 am I did not receive any call or any update about shipment, I called again to UPS with another 30 minutes wait, representative said, "I put another request and you will get a call from local office within 10-15 minutes to take next step on your shipment." Till 12 pm there is no call from UPS. I really dont know what they want to do. I have asked for next day air because I need it urgently and they are not replying properly. Now shipment status update out for delivery again.

    My concern is all three representative just made stories. No one provide correct information. They are just trying to pass the time and wait to shipment deliver. They know once shipment will deliver customer will forget this. Again and again 3 call each time 30 minutes long wait, they made stories about local office will call you but no one reply. It is really frustrated as not getting shipment on time. Also all the representative trying to make fool to customer. No one gave correct information. They just wait to deliver shipment because they believe once shipment will deliver customer will forget.

    Very pathetic service from UPS. My concern is I have paid or requested for next day air, if you cant deliver next day air then why you take shipment. I can go to FedEx and ask for next day air. Second concern is shipment can be delay due to rush but all the representative are trying to make customer fool. No one gave correct information. No one gave follow up call to verify does issue was resolved or not. They were just delaying to wait for the shipment delivery. Every time when I call UPS minimum 30 minutes wait. No one has time in busy life to wait for 30 minutes on hold and after 30 minutes long wait representatives are giving false information. I gave only one star because cant go below than that.

    I was expecting a package on 11/30, I called 3 times to check the status of my package, told all 3 times will be delivered on 11/30. When the UPS guy and no package, I called again and again, told same thing, was out with a different driver. WHEN 5 pm came and still no package, I called again and got Tre ID # ** and she said the same thing... will be delivered. WHEN 6pm came and went and still no package, I called again and got Megan ID # ** and she said that the package was not being delivered today that it was never on the truck, it missed the truck... THEN I went on the website and requested assistance and as of yet, now that it shows it is being delivered today. I get a message from the website chat. "I don't show your package made it on the truck." HORRIBLE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE... wish there was an alternative and more people used it.

    I can't tell you how many bad experiences I've had with UPS... I've lost count. What I can tell you is that any time I have a package coming that requires a signature (always from Verizon when getting a new phone... Like today), I can guarantee you it won't show up when scheduled. I will take a day off from work to be here to sign for the package... Become a prisoner in my own house waiting for UPS to show. 7 p.m. passes... No UPS. 8 p.m., still no UPS. Chat with CSRs who "assure me the package will be delivered today"... except, no it will not be delivered today. Maybe tomorrow. Who knows. But I can't keep taking days off to sign for it and have no other options - can't have it delivered to work because it's not an option.

    No neighbors to sign for it for me, either. They suggest I go pick it up at UPS - 15 miles away. Excuse me? How about your driver do their job, the one they are getting paid to do??? They charge a hefty amount to ship and then want you to go retrieve it??? Packages requiring signature should be the first ones delivered. Or have a separate delivery truck just for those packages. I'm sorry but there's no excuse whatsoever for not delivering a "signature required" package on the scheduled day, unless the driver was in an accident! But this has happened to me so many times, like I said... I've lost count. I HATE UPS!!!

    Not good experience. My packages were held up here for three days without a move, not sure why not delivered to my house. After several chat and phone sessions with UPS, I was told to pick up at this location, which wasn't what discussed during the phone and chat. Called this location, a gentleman answered the phone, but couldn't find my stuff by tracking number, but tried by my last name and found my packages, and then told me that I could come over to pick up at the moment. So I drove there after hang up the phone, but only being stopped at the security gate, told me the pickup time window is only 8am-9am and 7pm-8pm. Tried to call that phone number back, no one picked up the phone. What a waste! There isn't customer service here.

    Update: Spent an hour on the road and 30 minutes waiting, then was told my packages were not ready for pickup, have to come back tomorrow. When I asked what time, the guy said not sure, just around 11 am or so. This facility only open 8am-9m and 7pm-8pm, so I asked for a note with what he told me, so I can present the note to the security guard, he refused to do so. The guard on duty promised to talk to his supervisor and call me back before 10 pm tonight. Well, we'll see. Update 2: Security guard called back, told me the package won't be ready tomorrow for pickup. He doesn't know if I will get a notice or not for pickup. Have no idea what can be done. He simply gave up. Update 3: Spent about an hour with UPS agent on live chat. Make the story short, I was told to wait for tomorrow from this facility to call me about the status. The UPS web tracking is a joke.

    My main complaint is with their website. I find it confusing and ineffective. In this day of modern technology most services seem to use the internet to improve performance. UPS seems to have missed the boat. The painful process of receiving a package via UPS begins with a useless and complex email stating that something's arriving tomorrow anytime between 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. That doesn't really help anyone plan their day, does it? Next it offers make believe options, such as assigning it to a UPS store nearby, holding it at the airport, or rescheduling for another useless 12 hour window on another day. In my most recent delivery everything but, hold at the airport, was grayed out and not an option for some reason. When I clicked on the airport option the program froze. Today I got another email saying, "We tried to deliver and you weren't home".

    Now my package is stuck on the truck and I'll be locked in a tug of war for several days to get it back to the airport where I can pick it up. This is not an isolated case, this happens every ** time I get a package from UPS. Here's a suggestion UPS, if you're going to email people and ask them what delivery option they want don't load it on the truck until you hear back from them. Why keep carting stuff around all day making it impossible for the customer to get it when you don't even know if they are going to be around to receive it. Also, put a big phone number on the email that says... “call here 24/7 to talk to a rep if you have a problem...” and answer the phone.

    If I could give a negative -1 I would! The entire process was and still is a completely horrific experience. First, the website was not working properly, so an agent had to enter my info., and I had to create an account... DON’T DO IT! Since I was moving my mother with me to another state I didn’t have my computer to print labels, so she said a driver would bring them between 10am-2pm. And quoted a price and assured me it wouldn’t go over a certain rate. That’s laughable. It cost way more and the driver never showed. I called and they told me, "Oh, it’s up to 7pm." The guy came an hour after I called without any manual slips and had no idea he was getting the boxes, so I had to write everything on each box. This was after he called his supervisor. Now... That’s 1 supervisor.

    I shipped boxes from state to state; items were in a box that were fragile/Glass on all 4 sides, and marked as such with the proper wrapping and insulation to prevent damages, as well as other boxes. Well, that didn’t matter because the boxes were smashed, large holes out of the box and missing pieces of the box! I had to file a report and the entire time the customer service kept telling me it shipped from the destination. It didn’t; I was the shipper and destination and I was there for the pickup and the arrival. I had to talk to a supervisor about that. Then I had to talk to another supervisor about the charges added I wasn’t told about and wasn’t on my account. More calls and no resolution for damages or charges. I was on hold for over 40 mins., because a supervisor had to be involved and I was told specific charges were taken off.

    This is all within 5 days. Someone else called me and had the story mixed up again. Another supervisor about the damages. An agent took all of my info for the damages and I was told 2 days later, 1 Damage file was approved and the other wasn’t... Didn’t make sense. But ok. I get another call 2 days later saying nothing was on file and I would get a form sent... Nothing came, they entered my email wrong. I had to call again! Sorry, if I’m jumping all over but I am so irritated with this!

    The next day I get a call stating I wanted to ship something and file for damages... Huh? I told her no. That’s incorrect. It’s already been shipped and received by me, and had to go through the entire scenario again. I told her I just wanted the invoice, my Damage compensation and I didn’t want anyone else calling me from UPS. Really... 2 days later I get the invoice and none of the credits are there. I call again. This rep says there is nothing in the file and it has to go to finance AGAIN!!? So needless to say, someone from UPS has to call me again... REALLY!!! This is by far the worst experience ever, and I will NEVER ship anything UPS home pick up again!! Incompetence. 0 communication between departments and I still have to wait again for someone to get back with me “tomorrow”???

    Ok so I requested a hold at a UPS location. So I go there and they on their own decide to send it to a location 30 miles from the initial hold. One which only has 2 hours a day 8-9 am and 7-8 pm that one can pick up a parcel? Stupid you bet!!! Sends packages anyplace THEY desire.

    I have a package that was mailed out the same time as FOUR OTHER ITEMS. Every one of those made it to me on time but for some UNEXPLAINABLE reason UPS cant tell me why my package is being delayed with NO INCLEMENT WEATHER. It was scanned and labeled OUT FOR DELIVERY this morning and now it is DELAYED with a reschedule for delivery. NO ONE I speak to can tell me why and to TOP it all off I am not allowed to pick up my package, that is delayed because of UPS, because I didn't pay some absurd amount for a SPECIAL membership that allows me to pick up my package. HAD I KNOWN UPS was so incapable I would have picked up the dang item at the store I ordered from vs having it mailed to me!!!

    Amazon delivery of two packages were supposed to happen 11/28. While watching tracking, saw that the packages were scanned at local UPS facility on 11/27, would be out for delivery 11/28. It is now 11/30 and can't get an answer as to why, if my packages are at the local facility and stated placed on delivery truck for delivery two days in a row why they still have not been delivered. Amazon has been a joke with this issue as well. I used to insist on UPS, and I can understand this time of year there may be delays, but don't lie to me. UPS has lost a customer due to their inability to explain, without lying, what the hold up is and I feel like my business just doesn't matter to them, shame on them.

    I have had a package out for delivery for three days. It keeps being sent back to the main office (I've been home all day every day.). I called the main number and was told my local office would call me back. So far no response. After a major delay, shouldn't I be a first customer for the next day? If I don't get my package in another two days, it will be too late. Beyond frustrating. They block a time, don't deliver. Promise a day and don't deliver. They don't ring the doorbell. Myriad of problems with this company.

    I travel a lot, so when needing to reschedule a package delivery, was surprised to find a $5 fee, but I have no choice. Well I wait the 3pm- 7pm window only to be disappointed with NO delivery. I call the next day. On hold and transferred to 2 different people. This is 55 minutes, only to be told someone will look into it and call me back. They do, 2 hrs later (told within 1hr) only to say the package never got loaded on the truck. They will deliver it tomorrow. I will not be home tomorrow. Oh - no worries - they will try 3 todays in a row. My package is sensitive to heat, but no resolution to that - just sit & wait for it? So how do I get my $5 refund for a service I did not receive? Oh you have to call back - we don’t do that here. Another 30 minutes on hold and transferred to someone else and finally they disconnect me. No refund, no satisfaction, just a horrible experience with a company that got too large to provide good service.

    I know that sometimes packages can be delayed but the Lenexa, KS, facility is particularly bad. I've never seen a package that gets delayed there come out in less than 3 days. It just sits there, regardless of the time of year and package flow. I contacted customer service about my most recent package delivery 3 times in 2 days without a successful response:

    By chat: oh man was this frustrating. Their overall response was that I should just keep waiting and watching the website. NO RESOLUTION. Called their number since their chat was down. The lady was nice and understanding. She said she put an urgent message to the Lenexa branch to have the manager call me within the hour. Hour and a half with still no call. Called an hour and a half after the first call. Was told they had a physical scan for the package being on the truck. It's now after 8 PM CST and they're saying it could be delivered any time (experience told her it could be as late as 10 PM CST).

    Now for my next issue: there is a discrepancy in their records. They received 2 destination scans from Lenexa, KS. They posted 2 updates (an exception saying it would be delayed a day and "Out for Delivery") from Lenexa, MO (if anyone can find this city on a map I'd really like to know). I'm still waiting for the package. Honestly at this point it would have been easier to drive out to the place and pick it up myself (several days drive). Furthermore, I haven't ever seen my UPS guy deliver a package to my house any time after 4 PM CST. It being after 8 PM makes me sincerely doubt that he will actually deliver the package today even though they keep saying it will be delivered today. Also can't give me an update on where the package is by contacting the driver.

    I receive 3 emails from UPS stating my package would be here between 3-7. I left at 12:00. Was back at 12:28. They attempted to deliver at 12:06 then refused to redeliver. I called first time. They said someone would call me back. Never did. I called back 2 hours later. They were rude and told me delivery time was not accurate. Website says leave a note. I did and they refused my signature on the note. Left on the front door!!! UPS slip was left stuck to door next to my signature.

    Due to me receiving notice via email from UPS with my new phone being delivered today I canceled old account so now after midnight I will have no phone until they decide to deliver my package!!! They scheduled delivery for tomorrow so now I have to take the entire day off AGAIN to wait for delivery. This is NOT CONVENIENT AND COSTING ME MONEY missing work!!! Reps were rude and very unprofessional! They told me the delivery time didn't mean anything!!! The rep then said I would get the package between noon and 1 tomorrow however received a follow up email AGAIN stating between 3-7 pm. I will personally never use UPS again.

    I really don't write a lot of reviews, but my recent horrendous experience with UPS has really compelled me to sign up here and write a review. I ordered a package that should have arrived from the 22nd at the earliest to the 27th at the latest, and have yet received anything. It's been updated to 'out for delivery' about 4 times, only to be delayed to the next day or rescheduled. They had the audacity to even put 'delivery attempted' on the first day, which was complete BS, since I was home that entire day (I would had received a notice at the door even if I wasn't present).

    I finally had to email and call UPS in order to get anywhere. The lady on the phone said my package would arrive today, or that they would AT LEAST call me by the end of the day if it didn't, but neither of these happened. I'm sure their disorganized crew has the box lost somewhere in their warehouse, so I'm guessing it's bound to be found. In any case, I'll probably be expecting this package a few days later, despite it being already a day late. For anyone using UPS that finds anything wrong or suspicious with their tracking, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you contact them by phone or email and pester them to get your package delivered on time. This is honestly the worst experience I've had with a shipping service.

    UPS is absolutely a cluster for a company. I signed up for their online account at UPS.com. I had one package years ago sent to a UPS store as I was not in town. Years later I still cannot get UPS to stop sending packages there. When my new iPhone was shipped it took an additional week for me to pick up because of this little glitch. I had to speak with 3 different UPS customer support reps all with different answers, all telling me I would receive the package the next day. At long last I had to call Apple and with a conference call that I had to set up we got to the bottom of this and I had to go down to the distribution point and get my package.

    When I called UPS to resolve this, I was told I needed to upgrade my account in order to change this "feature" on. Delivery to my own address. I have informed everyone that I know not to use UPS anymore. My business will not use them anymore, I have canceled my accounts with UPS. I will no longer use UPS for Amazon orders. The fact that I had to spend hours on the phone, on hold, for several days in order to get a packaged with my own name and my own address to be delivered is absurd.

    Extremely dissatisfied with the delivery service from UPS. I receive emails from UPS when my package is delivered. Our driver puts on the email that he left it at the front door, however we are home and there is no package left at any door. We live approximately 300 ft from the street which is also a very busy street. On 11/25/17 the package he said that he left at the front door was never found and we were home. UPS said that they will investigate but we haven't heard a thing. Last evening another email came through at 8:15 and said 3 packages were left at the front door.

    Again, we were home so we looked at all entrances and there were no packages. My husband decided to drive down to the street and all the packages were crushed into our mailbox! This also happened a couple of months ago and I was told by UPS that they are not supposed to use the US post box and they would speak to the driver. Why order items that are delivered by UPS if they are really not going to deliver to our door? They really need to train their drivers or fire them!

    I am usually the patient type, but the constant ** ups are becoming truly spectacular. For starters, how in the flying ** do you manage to deliver a big box with a baby stroller in it to the wrong address? How do you walk into a building with the number already on it, sit a package in front of an apartment and it turns out to not be the right apartment nor the right building? How do you manage to screw up a "self appointed" delivery to one of the lockers, and it turns out that after said drop off, the package was not dropped off. So not only does one get the "delivered" email, but also the "not delivered" one a few minutes later, causing a cluster** of confusion that the customer service reps can not answer for. One would assume that if the drivers are tired, actually walking and moving around delivering packages should not be where they drop the ball. We may need to reconsider our USPS, and not this privatized for profit trash that does not work on weekends.

    I was shipping 17 boxes to Sedona Az from Phila. I was continually misinformed every step of the way. I opted to take standard 100$ insurance per box. I did not have UPS pack boxes. As I did not purchase additional insurance or declare value of individual items I was only entitle to standard 100$ per box. I was told that insurance is automatic. I asked directly whether I was entitled to standard 100$ no matter who packed boxes and person assisting said, "Yes that is correct." Boxes packed by 5 star professional movers.

    The boxes arrived in terrible condition with each box containing numerous destroyed items. When I filed the claim I was told to take pics of damaged goods. I had extensive proof of damaged goods. I followed instructions. At NO TIME was I told to save original shipping boxes. UPS called and said they needed to inspect boxes- I could not provide original packaging. I was never told I had to - so boxes were discarded. NO one when I filed claim told me to save original boxes. I was then told I could not be reimbursed because of not having original shipping material. UPS store points finger at UPS. UPS points finger at store. This is a well-orchestrated game of finger pointing with the consumer losing. I was mislead and mishandled every step of the way. Avoid this store. YOU will never get a straight answer.

    UPS has a history of frequent deliveries to the wrong location, including this past week. The correct location is clearly marked at the street and noted on the package label (the address). In addition, at the location where UPS dumps packages, a sign is posted prohibiting the dumping of packages there in two languages and accompanied by a very simple diagram directing them where to go. The property is in a very easy-to-find location. Some drivers deliver correctly, but others do not.

    Apparently, at least some drivers do not read. They also toss packages over a gate or wall. A long time ago, I tried without success for almost two years to get UPS to fix this problem. I am giving the online retailer from whom we order heavily one more shot and so far, they are failing and another package reportedly "delivered" is not here.

    UPS will not go get the wrongly-delivered package and deliver to me. I have stopped ordering from the online retailer and notified them of the problems. I am so fed up this time around that if the retailer doesn't fix this, I am giving up online ordering unless a different and reliable carrier can be guaranteed. It appears UPS does not care. If they had to go back and pick up the wrong deliveries and properly deliver them in the same day, I think they could improve. If there is no accountability for wrong deliveries, how they improve?

Said package on truck out for delivery at 9:30 pm. Site stated package rescheduled for delivery per UPS and driver. Tuesday 11/28 still on truck for delivery. So much for 3-5 days. Next time I will use USPS or FedEx, while they are slow, they at least deliver what's on the trucks when they say.

    I was informed by UPS that I would receive a package on Saturday Nov. 25th by end of day. In my UPS My Choice App, it informed me also that the package would be delivered by the end of the day on Nov 25th. After waiting all day for the package, and changing my plans to be home, at 9pm I called customer service to find out what was happening. I was told that the package is on its way and would be delivered that day, even though it's after hours on a Saturday night.

    At midnight I called back to announce that the package had not been delivered on Saturday, as promised. I was then told that the package was never even on the truck to be delivered and it would therefore be delivered on Monday Nov 27th. Why UPS informed me in writing by e-mail and via its app that it would come on Saturday Nov 25 "by end of day" if the package was never placed on the truck? Why did the UPS representative tell me at 9 pm that it was still on its way if it was not even on the truck? Why does UPS FAQ on its website say that the tracking information that a customer receives is accurate if in fact it's not? The tracking system had no idea where my package was, as it showed it in transit to be delivered "on time" for Saturday Nov 25th. During the midnight call I was told by a supervisor that they'd arrange for morning delivery on Monday Nov 27th. I asked for a specific time so I'm not wasting another day waiting.

    Today Monday Nov 27th, I receive a message from UPS that it would be delivered between 1:30 and 5:30 pm. Again I'm wasting my time waiting for the package. UPS has done absolutely nothing to remedy the situation. I've lost hours in calls, e-mails, and messages with UPS. I feel that UPS has breached the contract to deliver the package as promised, misrepresented, and perhaps fraudulently misrepresented, when the package would be delivered. It has completely failed, yet all it can say is "We understand" and "We apologize" without taking any action whatsoever to minimize my damages. UPS should be held accountable when they tell a customer a package would be delivered on Saturday and then fail to do so after the customer waited all day for the package!

    Yesterday at 7:45 pm (give or take ten minutes) the driver finished all his deliveries belonging to the neighborhood directly across from my house, decided to park his truck put on the hazards & print me out a “sorry we missed you” thing and stick it to my mailbox rather than actually do his job and deliver the package. I have a very long driveway, but I saw this all from my front window, we also have motion sensors in our driveway that go off when anyone comes to our house, nothing went off.

    So this lazy jack-leg couldn’t be bothered to deliver the package, so I made a complaint with the manager and hopefully he’ll get a mark in his file. This company is a joke. This is not the first experience like this I’ve had with them and since it’s obviously a pattern, it’s bound to not be the last. I’d give zero stars if I could, they seriously need to come up with a way to compensate the customers that they screw over - maybe then they’ll actually give a crap about the deliveries they botch.

    As a business owner I am constantly getting merchandise shipped to my business. I was supposed to get my merchandise since 11-16-17 and it is now the 11-24-17 and I still have not received my merchandise. On 11-20-17 I called the Saddle Brook, NJ office and spoke to op. Maria who placed me on hold and never returned. I called back again and op. Maria told me she was unsure if where my merchandise was located but told me she can give me a number to call and find out. When I asked to speak to a supervisor she stated none was available. I called the customer service number and spoke to op. Ray and then op. Daniel and then op. Deva and even supervisor Etzil and I still have not received my package. The supervisor asked me if I couldn't pick up my package instead of addressing the incorrect information that was written in the system by op. Maria. I asked for this to be investigated and for op. Maria to be properly trained.

    I was given a reference number and told I will receive my package by 11-24-17. It is now 11-24-17. I called and spoke to op. Jennifer from the Lynhurst, NJ office who told me to pick up my package in Secaucus, NJ and whom placed me on hold for 10 mins when I asked to speak to a supervisor and never returned to the phone leaving me to call again. Now I speak to op. Derrick whom when I asked to speak to a supervisor told me they were ALL out of the office. Op. Derrick took my name and contact number and said he would forward it to a supervisor. When I asked if I should expect a call tonight he said he was unsure if they would be back. Now I call customer service again and spoke to op. Jessica who transferred me to supervisor Chuck who also asked me to pick up my package and said he would contact the main office to contact me.

    I asked to speak to his supervisor, manager Lex who said I wasn't going to get my package until Monday due to not having anyone working that route. Lex also stated that my package was in Saddle Brook, NJ but they were closed. So it seems like no one at UPS knows what they are doing and where my package is. I have been on the phone with them for more than 1 hour and spent numerous days attempting to get my package received and till date nothing. Ship with FedEx or anyone else before you ship with UPS. They are obviously unprofessional and lack customer service. I have lost clientele due to their incompetence to deliver a package.

    I paid for 2 day air and made sure they will deliver on Friday. Except my tracking was updated at 11am on the Friday with 'attempted to deliver' message, except there was no UPS attempt at all. After calling the center, they told me the sorting office 'assumed' I am closed for Friday. How can you 'assume' a resident address is closed on a Friday? Obviously I could not get my money back and it took them FIVE days to deliver instead of two.

    Pay for 3 day shipping. Item is in Washington state, destination is Southern California. That’s 2 states away. (In case you work for UPS and don’t know where anything is!) Tuesday item starts shipping process. Wednesday morning package is in Oregon, one state away. 4 hours later, package is in... KENTUCKY??? UPS says package is in “transit” and will arrive on time on Monday! And Kentucky is where they port everything, so if I send a package down the street, it will have to go to Kentucky first! Yeah! So not efficient, and that’s what the tech on the phone called it, “efficient”!!! Also UPS uses other businesses, as pick up places. If you weren’t home they will leave the package at a nearby business where you can pick it up. They never leave door tags, probably since it has info on it and if they wouldn’t leave the package in my ghetto neighborhood, why would they leave the door tag? Realized package never came after some time.

    Called UPS. They could not locate the package. Said it was lost. Hour later, it’s found at a nearby pizza/tamale factory. Yes, I typed that right. So I go to pick up my item. Pizza tamale place employee asks for my ID. What? He can’t even speak English? I’m supposed to show my identity to him and trust in him? Haha! Showed him anyway, he wouldn’t accept my California driver’s license! Great state to live in by the way (not)! So I call UPS from the parking lot 5 different times! I told them to tell him to give me MY BELONGINGS, because they did not belong to the pizza/tamale place or him! Nope! I had to have the package sent to the pick up facility down by the Mexican border, that requires a toll road for $3.50 each way! To make my UPS experience wayyyy better, after finally driving way out of my way, after a 9 hour work day too, the original package had clearly been opened and re-taped shut. Awesome!

    So that’s why the pizza/tamale guy wouldn’t give me MY package! Because he opened it! But when he discovered car parts for a 99 Mitsubishi, he apparently didn’t want them! Oh thanks UPS! Thanks for making me appreciate common sense and not having to deal with you. UPS’ existence is just to make us appreciate FedEx and USPS much more.

    When you are expecting an expensive gift you ensure that it is sent through a protected delivery service. I spent four days on the phone with UPS to make sure that my package was delivered to a protected pick up point. I even had confirmation of that fact in writing. Came home to find the package thrown in the middle of the driveway of my multi-unit apartment building!!! No signature. Just thrown in the middle of the driveway as if the driver drove by slowly and threw it out of the vehicle without getting out!

    Just got a call from a company that I ordered medical supplies, telling me that the package was returned marked address not correct. This is about the 25th time this has happened when anything is shipped to us using UPS. I have lived at this address since 1978 and have been receiving packages by UPS for about 10+ yrs. I think that some of their drivers are just plain lazy as my address can be found by using Google. And I have a mailbox on the road plainly marked, plus my husband painted the number on the concrete drive at the road. Now I get to pay a second shipping charge due to their sorry drivers.

    I would love to know why most of their drivers can find our house. Out of 5 deliveries a month, we usually get 3-4 of them with no problem. And it is always worse during the holidays, which is most likely when they hire new drivers. The supplier tells me they will try to ship again, but if it is returned, I will have to drive about 40mi to their office to get these medical supplies. I truly hate UPS and their shoddy service.

    Really bad experiences with UPS. Ordered some gifts for my mom two weeks ago, and felt so excited! UPS really ruined it. First package was delivered to a place only UPS knew. I was at home at the time it was delivered, but the truck never showed. I called the UPS the second day and that case is still under investigation currently.

    I called the store. They re-shipped a new package to me. This time, I paid extra money to make sure I could get the package on time -- UPS 3 day select. The package was supposed to arrive on Nov. 16. I waited the whole day at home so I could sign for the package. But no luck, the package got stuck in Ontario which I got notified on Nov 17. Those guys knew it already on Nov. 16. Could not they notify me so I do not need to waste time waiting for them the whole day? It was stuck in Ontario for two days, where is only 2-3 hours away from San Diego. The package did arrive San Diego on Nov. 18, but I could not get it, as it is Saturday, they do not work on Saturday.

    I called UPS many times since Nov. 17, asking for help. Only answer is no. I told them I can go to pick up the package, no matter how far it is. Same answer - no, they cannot help. The earliest day I could get it is Nov 20. I submitted a complain on UPS website, and they returned an email to me. In the email, what looks like is the inconvenience they caused is inconvenience to me, not to them. The package is rescheduled to deliver on Nov. 20, then I should just wait, check online regularly, and wish nothing wrong this time. They just could not help. But my flight is Nov. 19. I rushed to local stores to pick gifts for my mom. For the gifts I chose carefully for my mom, maybe UPS can keep them as a gift -- thanks for their "great" service! Two packages, one lost, one delayed, what a "great" company!

    I have had several horrible experiences with UPS and their delivery. The first incident my package arrived in my city and kept saying arrived then sent out and arrived for several days. Then it was finally out for delivery. I waited all day and never received my package. All of a sudden my tracking says "A required security check has delayed delivery." How does this happen after it was already on a truck out for delivery. I don't get an update for a couple days and I have spent multiple days calling and trying to figure out where my stuff is.

    I finally get my order but I can tell that someone has cut the label off the original box and stuck it on a tiny envelope with one item. The worker has stolen 5 of the items I had ordered. When I called UPS they tried to claim my order was only 3 pounds so nothing was missing. A tiny item the size of a golf ball does not weigh 3 pounds. They refused to help and said I had to contact who I ordered from and it was their problem. The next incident I had two orders to be delivered. One box they delivered was completely crushed and damaged all the items in the box and my other order they said they delivered but I never received.

    The most recent incident I had two orders coming. They were sent out from the same location with similar time stamps. However my order I didn't received kept bouncing all over the place. I received the small order that wasn't important. However the second one didn't show up. I canceled plans to stay home all day to make sure not to miss the delivery. It hits 7pm with no delivery. I continue to wait and check the status and what do you know I get the "A required security check has delayed delivery" message again. This is frustration and I will be furious if my package gets stolen again.

    I said, "Ok. I am fine with that also but what about my shipping charge" then he said, "No we will a portion of that". Then I said, "Keep that money as charity to UPS and to the manager Jimmy and family from my side".

    I ordered a life-saving medical device that we needed urgently from Inogen. I paid for overnight delivery. UPS attempted delivery at 2:30pm on Friday but did not leave the package as they claimed it required a signature. I was not told I needed to be home for a signature. In fact, when the Inogen representative called me at 4pm, he told me that he had received confirmation that the package had been delivered. I mentioned to him I was not at home but would be in about an hour. He told me he would be gone but if I had any questions setting up the machine, there was a customer service number in the instruction packet. Not once did he suggest I needed to be there.

    At 4:30pm when I got home and found no package, I called UPS to explain that I had paid for overnight delivery and need the package Friday, at the latest Saturday. The phone agent indicated that he had been able to contact the Los Angeles representative and that they had tracked the package and could deliver it Friday and would by calling be back within the hour. He repeated my phone number to me to be make sure he had the correct number. I rearranged my plans on Friday to be able to received the phone call and get home for the delivery. No one called me back.

    When I called again to follow up, I was told it would not happen and I would get the package on Monday. They could not reach the facility where the package was because the facility was closed on Saturday. But when I first called the facility was open. Why didn't they get to a driver or another facility? UPS has Saturday deliveries. Why weren't they able to deliver on Saturday, or at least call me back as they had committed to? This is a life-saving device that was needed urgently!

    When I called back several times, the customer service representatives including supervisors were rude and disrespectful. Yes, part of the blame goes to the manufacturer, if, in fact, they requested the signature and did not advise me. I called them and they could not help either, but UPS HAS the package and they HAVE Saturday deliveries. I paid a substantial amount of money to receive this overnight and it will arrive 3 days late. At best, this makes our life, which is already complicated by severe chronic health disabilities, more difficult. At worst, this could have endangered a life.

    UPS: Stop hiring lazy people who drive past my apartment and don't even bother trying to deliver my packages. It's getting ridiculous. I pay for shipping then I have to go pick it up myself. It makes no sense. It's gotten to the point that I won't buy from certain companies anymore if they use UPS to deliver their packages. I realize I live in an apartment, but it's on a busy street, I know it's findable but it feels like I'm in some Bermuda Triangle.

I contacted UPS customer care and they said they will check with local office. The local office a day later confirmed the product was damaged in transit and was returned to sender, which led to a complicated refund from Lenovo that took more than 2 months.

    (2) Tracking # ** - The product undelivered because according to UPS "The receiver has moved. We're attempting to obtain a new delivery address for this receiver." which after I spoke to customer service rep mentioned they have left a message for the local office to contact. I doubt this will be delivered. I will never use UPS and I recommend anyone who wants to find a good service, try DHL, FedEx, USPS... anything but UPS.

I am new to US and nobody said me in the Staples store about the insurance for parcel services. Of course, it is my ignorance that I did not know about the insurance. Out of 3 packages sent, UPS lost one of my package and I have been waiting it for a long time. After reaching out to them, they said as the package is lost in a cool manner. They said they will be giving 100$ as compensation. I got frustrated and depressed. How come it will be missing??? Items in my package worth more 1000$ all of them were bought from India. Little stranded.

    I received an email that an overnight package was delayed due to severe weather. I called UPS and the CSR told me the same thing their website did, the package was checked into the Milwaukee, WI facility at 6:40 am and delayed due to severe weather, which was inaccurate as the skies are clear in the entire state with no bad weather predicted. She told me to hang up and call back in a couple minutes for an update. This was concerning as it wasn’t anything I didn’t already know.

    From there I reiterated that there wasn’t bad weather. She continued to tell me I would have to just wait. I need this package today but she had no information and wouldn’t probe further. I asked to speak to a supervisor. It took 15 minutes of hold time to get connected with a supervisor only to explain and be put on hold for another 15 minutes to be told they can’t reach their facility to confirm the package has shipped. I was on the phone for a total of 40 minutes with no help. They told me what I could look up on my phone in 2 minutes and already knew.

    A package that was supposed to be delivered to me was delivered to another person and when I inquire with the UPS driver if there was a package for me the driver said, “No”. Outright lying without checking the delivery information and delivering to another person is outright theft on the UPS driver's end. BBB giving UPS an A+ is wrong especially with so many complaints. And when I got a call back from UPS, I told them I wanted the driver fired for theft which they declined to fire the driver for theft. This is unacceptable. Don't do business with UPS unless you want your purchases/orders stolen.

    I am really irritated with UPS. When I pay extra to not go through snail mail, I expect my package to come to my door... like FedEx does! I am a senior with walking issues. Most times, UPS will bring to my door. But, about every 3rd delivery (I shop only online) UPS doesn't feel like coming to my door so will drop off at front office, which is too far for me to walk. Don't know who's doing it. The grumpy guy who usually comes or someone else. If I wanted to walk, I'd go to the actual store. This is so frustrating for seniors and disabled. And they can't say they tried but no one was home! My dogs alert me loudly, if anyone knocks on my door. It's so irritating that I can't choose FedEx or someone else when I order. I guarantee I'd never use UPS! Tell your drivers to act friendly at least! Mine won't smile, won't speak, nada! Real pleasure…

    In the last 2 months I have had to deal with UPS twice in very different situations and both times they have totally failed to deliver as expected. Additionally, in both situations of failed performance there is zero accountability. Customer is left with nothing to do but use FedEx which I intend to do when it is important and I am making the shipping decisions. In the first situation, I overnighted a key to my brother in law who was going to stay at my home while he was in town for business and I was out of town on vacation. In this situation, they "forgot" to put the package on the truck from their distribution center so it was not delivered in time for my brother in law's business trip. There was no recourse for the failed delivery - they could not redirect it to the location of the business trip and would not provide a refund.

    In the second situation I was having a critical prescription delivered to my home that I needed to take for ongoing treatments on the day the package was scheduled to be delivered. I came home to see the package had not been delivered and checked the account and saw that the package was listed as undeliverable due to wrong address. This was funny because I receive mail to that address and I was currently standing at the address. I called the customer service line. The first person I spoke to said there was nothing they could do for me and would have to just try again. I asked to speak to her supervisor and she hung up on me.

    The second person I spoke to looked at the system and realized the mistake was because the truck driver went to the wrong address (X Road vs. X Street) so the error was on her side. She said she would file a ticket and I would be called from the local facility within one hour with arrangements to receive the package tonight. In 50 minutes, I received a call from a "local facility" from San Francisco (I live in Boston). The person here told me that she was calling to schedule my delivery processing. This was wrong in two ways - as I was not in San Francisco and was looking to confirm a delivery. This person told me that she would redirect my call. I asked not to be hung up on and she told me that she looked into it and that she was given my number in error and that my original ticket was still open and I would be contacted shortly.

    After 20 more minutes (well outside of the original hour) I called back to the customer service line. They told me they were still looking into my ticket. They put me on hold. During the second call, my husband took it upon himself to try to call the local facility directly which he says he was able to do before. He got someone in what he seemed to think was a call center with a heavy accent. This person said they did not have the ability to contact anyone at a facility directly, but could update the information in the system. He told this person to put in the system the delivery was "urgent".

    Eventually someone picked up on my hold and said they spoke with my husband who had arranged delivery for tomorrow. This was not the case. They said they would check into it and that it was possible that I could pick it up. I did not think this is a satisfactory solution as I am not the one who made the delivery error on a critical package. The person, who I was told was a supervisor, put me on hold and then came back and told me that my husband had arranged it for tomorrow and there was absolutely nothing they could do. This is a blatant lie and misrepresentation. Then I cried because this was so stressful and I needed the medicine which I was now told I would not receive. I had been at this for 2 hours already.

    Finally, I call the shipper (CVS) and explain to them that I would not be able to take the medicine as prescribed in advance of my procedure and that the fault was UPS and UPS was not amenable to doing anything to fix it. They tell me they will try to arrange with UPS because they should deliver it (duh) and put me on hold. Then miraculously UPS calls me while I am on hold and tells me they will deliver my package. At 9 PM a man in a UPS van delivered my package.

    The only thing that rectified this was CVS's customer service. UPS made the situation unbearable and took no accountability for their mistake until it came from a corporate contact. The way I was treated was dehumanizing. I didn't get an acknowledgement they made a mistake. Everyone I spoke with at UPS did nothing to help me. It was just such a negative and reprehensible incident.

    If I could forever opt out of UPS I would. Our delivery man doesn’t deliver. He seems to fill out his failed attempt slip before he even gets to the door and sometimes he doesn’t even put our notice on the right door. 9/10 I have been home. If he knocks at all it’s once, quietly. By the time I stand he’s already gone and the notice, on the first attempt mind you, states he’s bringing it to a pickup location. Is it really delivery if I ALWAYS have to go somewhere else to pick it up?? I get no say, I can’t request him to leave the package or anything.

    Furthermore posted right on our door, states that the apartment complex accepts packages. We pay them to do this. He never goes there. Yet he has no problem making us wait an extra day to bring it across town. If I’m getting a package delivered by UPS it’s because Amazon chose them, not because I had a choice. If I did I would never use their services. We’ve also contacted their customer service to no end. They say a rep will call and then never does.

    I have learned not to use them to ship anything due to so many lost packages, late deliveries and horrible customer services. But sometimes things get shipped from the other end using UPS which is unfortunately out of my control. Literally every single time I get a package from them something goes wrong. This time only one of my 2 packages delivered 4 days late. When I asked the driver where the other package was I was instantly given an attitude and told it's "not my problem… I'm just the driver."

    When I called I was put on hold for 45 mins then told I will now have to wait until Monday after waiting all week for only ONE of the packages what were both sent at the same time from the same location from the same person. 80% of the people I've dealt with on the phone are just as rude if not more rude than the delivery driver and they LOVE to place customers on hold for up to an hour at a time. For some reason they can never give me a window of time when he'll arrive so I will have to take another whole day off to make sure I'm here for when they ring my bell... if they even show up. I am beyond sick of this terrible company.

    I usually just prefer going to the stores and buying what I need but in this case I was not fortunate enough to be able to do so. So I ordered online and tracked my package on a daily basis. It said it arrived On Sept. 25 between the hours of 1:30pm and 5:30pm. I knew I wouldn't be home but I had my mom wait for me. She said she stood by the window all day and not once did someone come by to deliver the package and I tracked it to see where it would be and they dropped it off elsewhere. Last time with my debit card as they no longer print them out in the branch. It was the same situation. They did not bring it to me, they took it to the same store as this time. They need to check that their employees are actually delivering the packages because in no way would my mother have missed that package and second, it just gets in the way of my errands because I don't have a way to pick it up somewhere else.

Not only does that invite thieves, but makes it difficult with a disability to get the package from that far off or even to move it out of blocking the driveway. There's a reason why some people want items delivered. Plus, many workers don't seem familiar with a Ring doorbell and just toss the package and go. Or some can't read address signs and dump packages elsewhere. (Have TWO address signs here, as do the neighbors). Odd numbers on one side of the street, even on the other!

    To complain at a corporate level contact: Public Affairs Manager Kyle ** at **. I have waited 3 full days (9 am-8 pm!) for package pickup. Website said driver showed up but package was not ready. I was home and package was ready for pickup. No notice left and and neighbors did not see UPS truck on our street. Called each evening, verified all information including address and phone number, and was told problem was escalated and supervisor would call next day. No phone call and no pick up.

    Called on 4th day and was told other customer service reps made mistakes!? I was told I would receive a call within an hour. No call. I called back and supervisor Josh in Salt Lake city again told it was escalated to highest priority and I would receive call in less than an hour. 3 hrs later... Surprise, no call. I have had 3 similar problems with deliveries just this year. These problems cost me time and money. Always blamed on glitches or other 'system failure'. I see online that UPS has lowest customer satisfaction among carriers and while I would like to continue using UPS I am uncertain with the company’s ability to serve its customers in the future.

    I left a review on Oct 19 about not getting the package from UPS in time for her party. The day I left the review, they had told me it wouldn't be arriving until the 23rd but on the 20th, I tracked the package again and SOMEHOW it had arrived to our local facility! While I still don't recommend UPS as a regular method of shipment, I felt obligated to correct my review since I DID receive my package on time. Thank you UPS!

    I ordered $100 worth of party supplies online for my daughter's 9th birthday. I ordered the items on Oct 17 and paid for 3 day shipping. I checked the tracking on Thursday Oct 19th and it showed the expected delivery date was Oct 23rd??!! My daughter's party is on the 21st!!! I spent so much money on these supplies I can't afford to go buy new ones and there's no use even if I had the money because it wouldn't be here in time anyway!!! This is not the first time I've had trouble with UPS. EVERY SINGLE TIME I have EVER used UPS there's been issues!! I will never use UPS again and do not recommend anyone else does either!!! I will only use the United States Postal Service from now on! They are MUCH more reliable. My daughter's birthday is RUINED!!! Thanks for nothing UPS!???

    I shipped 9 boxes from CA to GA, paying for additional insurance. A bit under $1500. First, delays and delays. When the first shipment arrived, the driver "rolled" my box. Top/bottom/top bottom, into my garage. I was aghast, told him the contents were important, and his treatment was irresponsible. He LAUGHED at me saying "If you want your things to arrive safely, you should use UPS”. The contents were damaged, as were the contents of almost all my other boxes. (They were all packed with great care. I have moved entire households cross country twice with damage only to a couple of ceramic items. They were all also packaged under the direction and help of a veteran UPS driver.)

    UPS refused to honor my insurance, telling me over and over that "I used the wrong boxes and packing material and the boxes were too heavy". If that was the case, why did UPS accept them. They requested literally hundreds of photos, which I sent on a zip drive with an attached spreadsheet. Still, UPS wouldn't shell out a dime. They had no liability. After about 9 months of haggling and literally weeks of invested time, they finally made marginal restitution on a few items and I was reimbursed my shipping and insurance by filing a merchant dispute through my credit card company. I would never use UPS again, but if you choose to, be sure to pay with a credit card so you have some recourse. Lastly, google UPS complaints. You should find enough reading material to last the rest of your life.

    UPS delivery systems are very accessible, print a label off of the internet while registering your delivery item, whether it is a return or just out for the first time. The tracking system is very accurate, and it make you question why the package overseas is taking too long, other countries systems have to be detained. I found this out through them, and now I can accurately judge the time it takes to deliver and receive items from overseas.

When I call to ask if I can pick up the item, I am told it will be at a location not near my house (e.g. 25 miles away at the opposite end of the city).

    UPS delivery service is not what it used to be... I used to almost always receive my package on time or later that day. Now it's one delivery try, then package goes to some local vendor for pick up. Or leave it in my screen door on my private house doorway. What happen to that?

    I ordered some DVD headrests for my family when we head out on our first vacation together. I waited 2 weeks for delivery and on the day of delivery, they never showed up. I had them delivered to my mom's house since she is homebound. I went to check the tracking and the status was DELIVERED. I called to see what was going on, and the lady told me they were delivered to the wrong address and that they would see if they could get it back. That it could take 8 days! 8 days to decide if they are recoverable and that they would contact the seller of the product after. It's been a week, still haven't heard anything, and now we are about to head out on our vacation WITH NO product. Thanks UPS.

    I ordered a very expensive computer from a PC building company in California. Everything started out well and the delivery arrived in my location on time. I called the day before and requested for me to pick it up after work because I had to sign for it. Next day I was on my way to work and I checked the UPS app to make sure everything was OK for me to pick it up later in the afternoon. I was shocked and confused when the app said "returning to sender." I immediately called UPS and spoke to a extremely rude woman on the phone that said the sender (the company I bought it from) was requesting to send it back. I said that is impossible because I have been in contact with them via email and they never mentioned anything about sending it back and I had already paid them a lot of money.

    I asked her, "Why did they request this?" And she said "I don't know. I can't help you. You have to ask them." So I called the company a few hours later and they said they had no idea why UPS was trying to send it back and that they would call and get it fixed. I began calling UPS back but they kept hanging up on me. I was furious so I had to leave work and spend another 3-4 hours on the phone trying to track down my package before they sent it back. Finally I found out where it was and went to pick it up before they sent it back. Apparently UPS put the "wrong address" on the package and had no idea I was coming to pick it up so they decided to ship it back. A absolute nightmare... If I did not leave work I don't think I would have been able to get my package and could have lost out on a lot of money. UPS was the worst shipping experience I have ever had!

    I ordered a lamp and the UPS man helped me get it in the house. What a nice guy, thank you... The box was in good shape. Nothing was broken. Was so glad to get and put it together. Love the lamp.

    I have a big problem with their delivery time. I almost always have deliveries of perishable foods which does not get delivered till late at night around seven or eight so it's been on the truck all day. I've called the main office about it and they told me nothing can be done about it. I do not choose this company rather the people I order from do.

    I am very pleased with UPS overall. I think they are a great company with caring employees. Our favorite driver used to give my neighbor’s dogs treats when they were still alive (the dogs). They will also take a few minutes to talk with you.

    I really didn't have any sort of problem with UPS or any other delivery person really. The only thing I have here is that there aren't more ways to communicate with the driver or the UPS and selves on how the package might get dropped off just in case you are not going to be there unexpectedly or just because you want to change locations you don't want it sitting on your porch were anybody, or anyone can just pick it up when they think you're not home? That last one happened several times and I'm not really mad about it because nothing went missing.

    I love UPS Shipping because they are always on time and they will not leave your packages outside in the inner city. That is very dangerous in our community, when you get home from work the packages are gone. Stolen... by your nice neighbors, then you have to start all over. That's very time consuming when you have to work everyday and that's the reason you ordered online in the first place. Another company has left our packages on the steps to be taken by... whomever.

    My son sent me some VERY important documents from New Jersey to Houston, TX on Sept 28, 5 days later, the envelope made it to Houston but for some weird reason that no one in UPS can explain, two days later, the package arrived to San Antonio!!! Then they sent it to Austin and so far they are only missing Dallas to have the Texas tour complete!!! Today is October 11 and NOBODY knows where the package is? Talked to numerous "supervisors" there and it's a proven fact: Incompetence and disinformation is a virus there and is highly contagious. That being said... if you have other options, don't hesitate... just stay away from UPS, their service is garbage and their customer service will tell you on fancy words "you'll get it when you get it".

    UPS has frequently taken my Amazon Prime orders (supposed to be 2-day shipping) to the post office for final delivery - which adds 1-2 days to delivery time.

    UPS is one of largest carriers of consumers' package. I had a pre-paid package from Charter to send back. My replacement cell phone I had not received yet, so I had no phone. I used my daughter phone. Called UPS to pick up a prepaid package, it was ready. They would not pick up package because I had no phone number. I told them that Charter Communication already paid for everything. UPS REFUSED to pick up package. FedEx has a system. If it is prepaid they pick it up. I will no longer use UPS service.
