    I was charged a rate higher than the actual weight. I presume this based on volume and not actual weight. The rate I paid was for a shipment to arrive in 4 days from the Detroit area to the Chicago area. The parcel arrived the next day and in perfect shape. I guess I just don’t understand the rates.

    We liked UPS in the beginning but, our packages have been opened or, damaged. One of our packages contained a white glove with black dust on it. We wore gloves just to handle the glove. The packages that we payed to be delivered to our home, were brought to the post office instead of being brought to our home. I don’t know what’s happened to this company but, I am not happy the way they have handled our packages at all! All I can say is I think UPS needs to check some of their employees to see what they are doing with our merchandise.

    They cost me $800.00 because my package was shipped to the wrong city. Then their wonderful customer service told me it was lost. I am a contractor so I gave my job back and went home, a 4 hour drive. They said if they found it they would send it to my home. They found it 2 days later but shipped it to the original location so I had an 8 hour round trip.

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

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

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

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

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

    I was expecting a package yesterday, so I called UPS in the morning to get an approximate time, because I am a busy person and the package requires a signature. I was told between 12-2, but no guarantees, it was a cold day, but I still opened the front door, so that I would not miss the driver. Around 2 pm, I received an email that the package attempt was made, but I was not home. I went outside to look for the delivery slip they put on your door, but no slip and nobody came by. I called UPS and they told me that I would receive a callback within 1 hr, after an hour, I received my callback. They told me that the driver will return to my house and delivery the package, so do not leave.

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

    This is the most difficult, inflexible shipping company I have ever used. If you work a full time job Mon-Fri it's almost impossible to get your package without taking a day off work. I wasn't able to be home for the delivery and when I called to see if I could pick it up from a drop off location the day after it the failed delivery on Thursday they said I could not come and get it until Monday, no solid answer as to why other than, "That's how it works more or less." The package is there at the building, I would be willing to come get it but no. They refuse to let me come there and get my package until Monday... I work Monday. The package is there at the building where I want to come pick it up but nope I have to wait... WHY EXACTLY?!?

    You may order something and have no means of retrieving it without enlisting the help of friends or family, if you just moved to a new city alone you're hooped. Garbage. Complete and utter garbage. I have never written a review before but this just left me furious.

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

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

    UPS lost our precious shipments and offer only $100. They cheated us. I asked the supervisor if I can talk to high up in the management chain. She said we need to call customer service. We already spend months talking to them and no use. Every time you call UPS customer service, new person picks up the phone. Looks like UPS is running a scam, losing shipments, cheating customers. I will never ever ship through UPS again. They lost our shipments, they don't have decency/courtesy to reimburse the value of the shipment!! They cheated us.

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

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

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

Got call Friday morning telling me a package was waiting for me.

    Apparently the package had been there since Wednesday per the UPS label. Since it included perishables, they are no longer usable. UPS response: “sorry”.

Well I tracked the package on Wed. and saw it was in Raleigh NC (hmmm so it skipped 2 whole states and passed 2 major hubs). So I called UPS and asked if I would still have my package. They said, “Absolutely. It will be delivered by the end of the day Thurs.” As a person with common sense and know how long it a takes to move freight down the road I called my customers and rescheduled for Monday. Well Thursday came and went with no package (what a surprise).

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

Well Friday again came and went with no package. After a few emails with the big company I was told it will be here on this Monday. Well that is tomorrow and as far the tracking says it’s still in Raleigh NC. So I’m guessing UPS just doesn’t want to do the job they were already paid to do and deliver my package to me.

At 3 pm Monday I get an email saying I’d been rescheduled to Wednesday the 2nd. I got home at 8:45pm. I met the UPS truck on my road. The delivery notice said that it had been delivered at 8:42. The gate was open and the lights were on. Once again they left it at the gate without a signature. It only took 16 days to get an overnight package via UPS. I forwarded the check via FedEx. They received it in less than 20 hours. Use FedEx for overnight service!!

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

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

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

    I asked why I was told by 3 different people that I had refused it and now they were saying it was damaged. The answer was that they had no more info and that I would not be receiving a call as there was no need for one. I asked for a number that I could call as I was very unhappy and was once again answered with "there is nothing else to discuss and I should take it up with the sender to reorder". I asked again for a number and have been ignored so I will be calling cooperate on this. Still no idea what actually happened as I was told 2 different stories and dont have the part I need for a very expensive fishing trip this weekend.

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

    The investigations start date yesterday 1/2/2019 because before that they didn't do anything about it. That package is for my work. In this case I can not work so I didn't generate money so I didn't have food for my children's or how can paid my rent if I didn't have that? How can to work? Just because the driver didn't want to deliver yet my package and UPS. NO KIDDING!!!

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

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

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

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

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

The truth is, somebody was home all day, no signature is required for the packages, even after saying about one of the deliveries that nobody was available to receive the package - the next day the male driver called saying he "couldn't find the house." Yet he tried to deliver it the day before? These people are so dishonest. The most recent "attempt" at delivery was 12/31, tracking number **.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I specified multiple times over the phone and online that I did not want my packages taken to this "access point" (which by the way is a gas station) but that didn't matter.

    Every customer service rep is rude and most barely speak English. I was even hung up on twice because I demanded my packages be redelivered instead of having to go to that stupid access point.

The excuse I got was "it's in a truck with 5000 packages." Ok but if it shows it arrived in that location means it's been scanned in so it's out of the truck and it's ready to be shipped.

She knew she was getting a gift from heaven from her brother and package has sitting in Philadelphia for 4 days now, I live in New Jersey! They’re saying it won’t be here until Thursday by end of day! Why did I pay $45.00 guaranteed to break this little girl's heart!!! You try to explain why her brother in heaven are late when she’s missing him like crazy and she now thinks he doesn’t care because of UPS and their lack of care!!!

    I’m so broken hearted because I had a choice of using FedEx and shipper said she used UPS because it was closer and GUARANTEED!!!! SHAME ON YOU UPS AND YOUR LIES AND BROKEN PROMISES! Thank God I wasn’t waiting for a kidney or liver! Called on phone, on hold 34 minutes to hear “we’re overwhelmed with delivering!!" Really are you because most well run businesses know to hire extra help for Christmas and we certainly paid top dollar to be given the shaft and kicked to the curb this way!!! FEDEX ALL THE WAY. ALL THE TIME FROM NOW ON! By the way if your package isn’t delivered 1 second after promised time you don’t have to pay!!!

    I was waiting for the 2nd attempt of my package today. Since it was guaranteed by 8 pm, I decided to wait outside for the driver at 7:30 pm... 8:05 I checked online. Said delivery attempted at 7:46. No ** way as I was standing there the entire time. Driver didn't attempt to deliver. Just marked as attempted and went home. Didn't even come within 5 blocks... I've had this happen before with them. Terrible business practice. Now I need to sort out the 3rd delivery attempt before they return it the day before Christmas.

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

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

    At this point I called Costco, cancelled the entire thing and went to Apple Store to purchase it as it was a Christmas present for my husband and couldn’t wait any longer on these idiots. Next, I ordered a package from Fingerhut as a Christmas present this year. Dec 12, 2018 was picked up on the 17th and a delivery date of Dec 22, 2018. I waited all day. The tracking information stated all the way until midnight that it was out for delivery. It never came. This morning when checking the tracking it now states, "No new information on this package. Will update when new information is available." I promise you when ordering anything else online if that company uses UPS THEY Will NOT Be GETTING MY BUSINESS!!!!

    I ordered a new iPhone on 12/21/18. It was supposed to be delivered next day. I waited for my package all day long, checking the updates for my deliver until 9:30 pm and still said: "In transit" when I know the drivers stop delivering by 9 o'clock. This company ruined my plans of receiving my Christmas present from my husband on time!

    I ordered a gift from a company on 12/19, with a delivery date of 12/22. Since I live in New York City and this is a larger item, I regrettably did not do in-store pick up. On 12/22 I sat in my home all day whilst tracking claimed my package would arrive by "end of day." I called UPS customer service as it got dark out, and was again assured the package would arrive that evening. By 9pm, with a wasted day and no package, I reached out to UPS Help on Twitter, and was eventually told the package wasn't even out for delivery and it would be another few days, but they could not get more specific.

    I then spent an hour on hold with UPS, only to give up, hang up, and call back to wait on hold for another 20 minutes. I finally got to speak to another customer service representative, who told me it would not arrive until 12/27. This is absolutely absurd. I've never had a fantastic experience with UPS but they're really failing in a spectacular way right now. Ultimately, I had to call the company that did its job and shipped on time, find out what my options are, re-purchase the item this time with in-store pick-up, and will have to refuse UPS delivery whenever they finally get around to delivering the package. Go with FedEx if you have a choice. I ordered something on 12/20 and it arrived by mid-afternoon 12/21 via FedEx. Never again, UPS. They do not even deserve to exist as a company.

    On 12/20/2018 I called a company at 10:00 am to place an order of something I needed by Sunday 12/23/2018 and I asked if I had it shipped overnight UPS would I receive it Friday 12/21/2018. They informed me yes it would ship by 12:00 noon 12/20/2018. So I placed the order and paid the high price of overnight shipping with UPS. On Friday 12/21/2018 I watched my tracking sent by the seller. They had my package scanned arriving in Atlanta at 12/21/2018 at 7:48 am shipped from Atlanta to my local office at 12/21/2018 10:20 am arriving at my local office at 11:50 am. 5 1/2 hours later I received a email from UPS saying the flight was late? How could it be on a plane? It was already at my local office?

    Saturday morning I get a email from UPS saying my package I needed by Sunday was rescheduled for delivery to Monday 12/24/2018 by 8:00 pm. I called UPS. They were delivering all international and domestic overnight scheduled for delivery 12/22/2018 on that date. Why not my package. I went to my local UPS office and my package was actually there on a truck to go out on Monday 12/24/2018. I asked if I could get the package? I was informed the truck was ready to go out Monday and I couldn’t get the package.

    I explained I needed the package by Sunday 12/23/2018 that the package and all the money spent on it does me no good on Monday night. All UPS could say, "I’d sorry, once your package is delivered on Monday night." I could call UPS and request a shipping refund which would take 4 to 6 weeks. What Sorry service. 30 feet from the package and I could not get it because they needed to deliver it on Monday after failing to deliver it on the scheduled day of 12/21/2018 or delivering it on 12/22/2018. No, it did not require a signature. Just terrible! And Merry Christmas to them!

    I had my friend ship a package, it was suppose to be here Wednesday, it's now Saturday. My package was on the truck Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and they kept taking my package back to the facility at 6pm because of 'operating conditions'. It's Florida, y'all are use to the rain.

    I paid $40 dollars to have my package 2nd-day air shipped. The company did their part and shipped the package in time via UPS. UPS tracking said my package would be delivered today on December 21st by the end of the day. Today the 21st I checked for updates and saw it was in fact checked in about an hour and twenty minutes from me on its away. Night time has came around and it was 8:50 at night. I tried to check again and it said it was just departure scanned from the location one hour and twenty minutes from my house at 8:40 at night.

    It took me 50 minutes to actually get to talk to a real person at UPS over the phone. She told me that even though it was supposed to be here today and has been 1 hour and 20 minutes from my house the whole time today, that now it is not scheduled to be here until Monday the 24th and there is no reason for it and there is nothing they can do about it. Besides the horrible customer servicing taking 50 minutes to figure that out, besides the fact that they have ruined my chance at giving this present to the attended recipient before Christmas, I paid $40 to have it arrive today which is more than the entire present cost. I then sat for 15 minutes on hold with them waiting to talk to someone who I was transferred to about getting a refund for that wasted shipping fee.

    Finally when the lady came on the line she said they do not handle refunds and I would have to have the company I purchased it from submit a form to UPS to get me a refund. I then asked for a manager, only to be told it would be over an 1 hour wait time to talk to one. It is now almost 10:00pm and I have no Christmas present for my friend, have sat on the phone with UPS for 1 hour and 10 minutes, paid $40 for rush shipping, and have come to absolutely no conclusions and no accountability for that. Someone in the BBB should really look into this company better and or I sure hope the ones invested in it start paying attention and giving a damn.

    I have been waiting on my package for over 3 weeks now. I have been on the phone with representatives since the 18th and each one of them has said my package will be redelivered the next day and there were no package. I had to call again and stayed on hold for 45 mins. All my calls are recorded on my end and I am pursuing to look into further investigation... Either the “deliverer” is a COMPLETE THIEF. THEY HAVE NOT CAME TO MY HOUSE. I'VE BEEN WAITING. LOOKING OUTSIDE EVERY CHANCE I GET.

    This is the most horrible service. I will never use UPS again as long as I live. If I cannot get another company to deliver to me I will not order anything offline again if it involves UPS. I will call everyday multiple times until I get my package delivered and will leave reviews everytime I call. Next time I’m putting names on this website. I hope you all have the most horrible holidays and your packages get LOST (stolen) because that’s what happened to me. Maybe the driver was a bum and stole packages for the family they don’t have. BURN IN HELL UPS. Hope you go bankrupt. :) You don’t get no stars from me. Lucky I had to put one in order to post this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I was expecting a package that was supposed to be on the 18th. Now, on the 20th, I waited the whole day. I checked at 7pm, front door, there was nothing. My upstairs lights was on, and my two dogs barks at doorbell rings. At 8pm, I checked the status and saw something was wrong. I checked the door outside and saw they left a notice. My lights were on, they knew I was home. There was no doorbell ring because I did not hear any, and my dogs would bark at the doorbell rings. I wish I had cameras just to prove it. Ironically, the package I was waiting for was a 4 camera piece from Costco.
