    While somewhat pricey I have found UPS to be prompt, reliable and easy to track packages. I have not had a negative experience with their service as recipient or sender.

    We use them all the time to send packages out and I only had one problem when my items was stolen at the UPS center and taped back up. Other than that, I have had no problem with UPS. Our driver knocks on the door to inform us that the package is there and waits to see if anyone comes out.

    While I do think the service is expensive, I have had really good service most of the time. One bad experience was a broken glass item that was left by the driver with glass piece all around the box on my front step while I was home. I happened to see him drop the box off hand sprint off. When I opened the door and saw the glass I called without moving the box. There was broken glass all the way from the street up my walk. It was not a great experience.

    I love the service that I receive, I've always gotten my packages delivered in a timely manner. The cost is okay though sometimes I find when I use FedEx it's less expensive. I wish when the doorbell goes out and I leave a note with phone number that they would do the courtesy of calling me to let me know that they are downstairs, they don't and this is something that FedEx does which is very helpful. Since your drivers are not allowed to do so, I have to go in and pick up the package. It's not a lot to ask when you're paying 20 dollars or more for delivery.

    I have been shipping with UPS personal and business since 1979. We ship UPS for most of our must-be-on-time product from single box to pallet loads. FedEx is good but UPS better for on time. Our UPS/FedEx not-on-time score since we started counting in 1988: UPS late 5 times. FedEx late 9 times. Both are great companies.

    We use UPS instead of FedEx. Most UPS Drivers seem more content with their job. They're supposed to be helping us with our packaging needs. We don't receive the same care at FedEx. We go into a UPS Store often. The prices can be somewhat high for shipping. Keep treating your employees fair, you will continue to outscore FedEx.

    UPS is great for shipping. I mostly use it for returns (products being returned to the store). Some businesses include a UPS label if you need to return a order and the charge is minimal. However, I have had to return items with no label included and most of the time the UPS charge is over double what I would pay if the business would have included a label - at times much more than the product is worth.

    Sometimes my pkg is left too far from my door like it was thrown there and don't get knock on my door to know it has came. But love it now that I have signed up for text alert to know when pkg has been delivered. Best thing they came up with. The pkg come in good condition if it's smaller boxes but bigger pkg looks like they don't get as much care when handling. One time my neighbor received my pkg. Thank God they were honest and a couple times I have received pkg that belong to people that moved. Tried to get someone to pick them up but ended up having to take it to them. But usually I have no problem with them. Not like I do with post office.

    ** always leave "sorry we missed you notice" even if receiver is at home. Delivery guy immediately leaves in haste to meet delivery targets. Charge for packages are usually high than Canada Post's. I always have to go 20km (to & fro) from my house to collect the parcel. If I don't go on time they send it back to sender in 7 days. Company wants to address more parcels with less staff and overloading staff with unmanageable targets so staff in haste leave "sorry we missed you notice." Or maybe staff is lazy to deliver in customer hand. Worst service.

    Not the first time that UPS claims to attempt to deliver a package to a business and claims that the business is closed. Since we know that we were here the entire time, we know that it is a lie. Then of course UPS says it cannot be delivered until after the holiday weekend. But no one ever gets sanctioned for lying about deliveries, so nothing will ever change.

    UPS gives an AARP discount which is nice (if you go to the Post Office you do not get one). I went during a time in the day I was quickly serviced. I was sending it from Indiana to California. It was very expensive even though it was not a big box and certainly did not weigh much. This was a special item but because of the cost, I usually either just send a gift card or buy online. That is sad because I would much rather see the item, pack it and send it myself.

After a day when I found the package had not moved I went on Live chat with a UPS agent. When I asked when the package would be delivered and if it would go through the two incorrect receiving stations. All I was told that I should receive the package one day after it started to move and I should keep checking with tracking. When I asked when the package would move, the only response was that I should continue to keep checking with tracking.

This is just not fair that you can't able to spent more money to insure your valuable items and they just destroyed it because it not insured. Packages is has many holes on it and seems they got tortured before they arrive on destination. They ask me I will receive refund and leave how easy to accept that?

    This is the worst shipping company! Drivers are rude and unprofessional (not all of them surely), but laziness seems to be the company's motto. I had a package full of sensitive information (containing my medical records and SSN) that I wasn't even expecting to receive fail delivery. I was home all day and received a package from USPS, but UPS never bothered to even ring my door. This isn't the first time this has happened.

    No information on the paper except that they won't be attempting a re-delivery and that my package is now sitting in a damn cellphone repair shop 10 miles away. I go to hole in the wall shop to pick up my package and see it sitting on the back counter, partially torn open. Not locked up. No security. Package was just sitting out in the open. Anyone could have opened it and had access to my personal info. I will never, ever do business with this garage company again. I will also refuse to do business with online companies that only use UPS. Wouldn't use UPS even if the shipping was free.

    On 8/28 2017 I was expecting a delivery from China. I realize that my shipper did not put the correct address. Immediately I called UPS that day to let them know there is a change of address, building number and apartment number only. 8/29/2017 the correct address and building and apt was revised not once not twice but three times. Today 8/30/2017 @ 2:59 pm I'm sitting in my living room waiting for the UPS truck to deliver. I live in an area of New Jersey that has high rises apartment buildings on all 4 corners of the intersection. Very busy intersection.

    Today I saw 2 UPS trucks. No one has delivered. One truck literally turned on my street, I saw him sitting at my living room window. Do yourself a favor. Find another carrier. However, if you do have a regular UPS driver that delivers your packages on time, find out what their vacation month is and don't place any orders because you won't get them. UPS are Liars and they really don't care. I have been on phone for 3 days trying to straighten out this matter. However they don't really care one way or the other. Only full of excuses.

    I purchased a generator on August 26th to be sent overnight to Corpus Christi Texas. My sister lost electricity during Hurricane Harvey and there are no generators to be had in a 200 mile radius. Of course, I expected some type of delay due to weather conditions and back up of orders but I thought it would be delivered at least by today. The generator made it to San Antonio yesterday at 630 am but no delivery due to adverse weather conditions. It is 100 degrees and sunny in Corpus Christi and about the same in San Antonio. It take 2 hours to drive the distance and there is no flooding or rain or wind in between.

    Because it is 100 degrees in Corpus Christi and my sister still has no electricity, I would really really like her to have that generator I paid 100 dollars to have shipped overnight. I have called UPS customer center in San Antonio several times today and am told the package is on the way. Then I check the website and it says package delayed due to severe weather conditions. So which is it? Is the package coming or not? My sister would gladly drive to San Antonio and pick up the generator but cannot do so until one delivery attempt has been made.

    I understand UPS has a priority to keep their employees safe but they also have an obligation to deliver packages that contain items that are desperately needed. Once again, there is no severe weather between San Antonio and Corpus Christi. The hurricane hit Corpus and moved out of the area quickly. So my sister and her family sit and wait in 100 degree heat until UPS decides to deliver to that area again. Or maybe they are going to deliver. I'm getting two different stories. Get it together UPS. People need their stuff. Frustrated in Missouri.

    I have had bad experience with this company as a shipper and as a receiver, and the more I deal with them the more I'm disappointed. First as a shipper. To make it short, they lost 4 of my packages in the span of 2 months totaling in about 1500 CAD loss. I don't ship a lot so the ratio would be about 10% packages lost. I hope you agree that's way too much. Second, as a receiver. They will charge me processing fees that are way out of this world. I had an item coming back to me that was returned by the receiver in the States. They charged me $60 CAD. Item was clearly marked as a RETURN.

    When I complained that I should not be charged duties on my own item, the lady informed me that these are just processing fees. They seem to charge brokerage fees based on the value of the item although that involves same amount of work if the item is worth $10 or $500. For comparison I know that DHL charges less than $15 flat fee for the same service. Another example is that I sent something to UK that costed me about $50 to ship, the receiver refused the package because they wanted him to pay about $200 in duties, they called and informed me that to return this package it would cost me about $300!!! They incurred his duties on me... WHAT??? I told him to ship it back anyway, I thought I will deal with this later, guess what the package never arrived. That would actually make 5 packages lost. They are bunch of crooks and they either have thieves working for them or have a huge mess in their warehouses. Either way they SUCK.

    I usually have pretty good patience, but with this experience with UPS delivery service, I cannot begin to articulate my frustration. UPS is 'suppose' to be a leader in logistics. The sole reason they exist is to alleviate the burden of sending and receiving packages. I will NEVER use UPS again. An important package was suppose to be delivered Thursday 8/24 which was beyond the original delivery time, after the package was ordered on 8/16. I never requested a signature for the package, but it is somehow required. After the first attempt a note was left on my door saying package can be picked up at an Access point on Friday.

    I call on Friday to make sure package is at the access point so I can pick it up. Package is not there, and I won't be able to get it until Monday. Delaying it further. Come Monday I get a call saying it will be held at access point for pick up. I go there that evening, package is not there. I call again. It's with a driver, after I specifically said keep it at the access point I will pick it up. Even though with driver a delivery was not attempted. Call again Tuesday, after once again specifically detailing to hold it at the pick up location. Now the package is being returned to sender. At this point they have to intercept the package and route it back to my city and no time frame of how long that will take.

    I have to call in daily. All you get is a "I'm sorry I understand your frustration" from the customer service representative if you can get to one. What about the funds the end consumer loses out on by not having their package when it is scheduled to be delivered. UPS has awful terrible logistics, horrible coordination between departments and it seems like everyone is unaware of what everyone is doing. WHY DO I PAY FOR DELIVERY IF THE JOB CANNOT BE DONE? Why does a package require a signature if not requested? Why can't instructions to hold it at access point so customer can pick up be relayed to driver? Why is there no one available to assist over the weekends?

    I can understand a mistake, but this is endless mistakes with no solutions offered. Communication lines seem to be very broken down, and frankly their leadership is to blame. It's not right that the CSR has to take the brunt of complaints while leadership does nothing but collect and continue to okay terrible service. I WILL NEVER CONSIDER UPS AGAIN. Learn from Amazon they do it right.

    If had my preferences would use FedEx, Have to go to postal office to use UPS, only a couple of miles away, I live rural. But let's address delivery, shall we? Boxes are left on the porch, no knock, no nothing, days it's raining, they will sit outside in the rain. I did start putting a trace on the boxes So I know about when boxes are delivered. I get notified sometimes 1 to 2 hours ahead of actual delivery. Occasionally my articles are left with my brother who lives about 5 miles away, who then notifies me that something is there and I can come pick it up, when the address for delivery clearly is not the same as my brothers!

    My husband ordered a phone. He only had a few minutes left on his old one, and a ton of calls to make, both personal and business. The tracking showed it would be delivered on Saturday, and that was plenty of time for the package to make it from the supplier. He went to the door so many times on Saturday, and I felt bad that now he'd have to wait until Monday. Online, it still showed the Saturday delivery date. A couple days after seeing his, I ordered a phone. Again, Saturday it WOULD BE delivered, according to online tracking. Again, there was plenty of time for this to happen. Again, it didn't, but with no change in the online status.

    Oh, and I'd also signed up for emailed notifications both times. NOTHING at all was emailed. NOTICE TO FIRMS: go with USPS.

Even though there are VERY CLEAR directions along with the correct address. This time the UPS cust service rep lied to me and said the driver had been to my street today but would send him back.

    Then I was told by a different rep that it never left the warehouse today but would be delivered tomorrow IF my address was indeed a valid address. Who hires these people? Are they not given a reading comprehension test? This house and its address have existed since 1972 but according to UPS doesnt exist.

    So I have been waiting for my UPS package for about 7 days now, ironically on the 5th day the package said it was delivered, but it clearly was not. I called UPS to have them tell me the package was still in transit. Okay fine I think I'm off the next day I'll just wait for it. I wait the next and after hours of waiting hostage I decide to go downstairs to find a slip from UPS saying they would attempt re delivery. I was so frustrated because they didn't even bother to knock on the door, I called them back and asked why they didn't leave my package at an Access point like always? They said the access point refused the package!? Whatever that means. They would re deliver the next day, next day same result, no knock on the door just another slip.

    I am livid at this point and call once again. They apologized and said they would make another attempt today. I wake up early so I can be right by the door, after 3 hours I check tracking info to find it saying that the receiver (me) made a request for it to be held at the facility? I made no such request... So I call UPS and tell them to connect with a supervisor. They make anyone a supervisor these days because this gentleman could not help me at all and I ended up just telling them they have the ** worse customer service in the world and they should not operate a business in this manner. He said my package would be ready for pick up tomorrow. I just can't believe I now have to travel 3-4 miles to a facility I never made a request to pick up at.

When my envelope arrived it was dirty, bent and literally had boot prints on it. Thank God the document inside the cardboard envelope was only bent and creased not ripped or torn. Then on the same day that I received that envelope from UPS I found out that they LOST another envelope I was waiting for. The envelope had been sent from Indiana on 8-15-17. They estimated that it would be delivered by 8-17-17. It made it to Nashville at 7:14 am on 8-17-17. However, there was no tracking of the envelope found after that.

    Finally on 8-21-17 I called to find out why I had not received the shipment and then and only then did they realize that they had lost the envelope. Customer service was useless, when I called on the phone they told me that they would only give information to the sender. I then drove to the UPS Hub in Nashville, I asked the the guy at the desk how often do they lose envelopes. He stated "We ship millions of boxes a day, small packages and envelopes sometimes fall off or get stuck in the conveyor belt ". He went on to say that my envelope may never be found. In other words unless you are shipping a big box you can expect your package to be lost or damaged.

    When the package was being delivered, the delivery man did not even attempt to ring my doorbell and instead stuck the "Sorry we missed you" notice to my car two days in a row. Both days I was home, waiting for the package, and have now wasted a considerable amount of my time. Additionally the customer service options at UPS are terrible and it is near impossible to speak with a real person.

    It's been incredibly hot here in Florida this year. I ordered an AC window unit because my CA went down. It was due today, but last night after sitting in Jacksonville for 12 hours was delayed. The reason being "Power outage". Online you can check power outages for Jacksonville. There were NONE affecting UPS in the last 48 hours. Real time tracking mind you as well as 7 day power outage history. So they lied, arrival delayed with no new date. They ship my package at 10am to Orlando, which they have to literally drive within 6 miles of my home to even get there via trucking route.

    Paying for a guaranteed delivery date and it's coming late? WORST shipping company I have ever experienced. Will never order from JCPenny again because they use UPS. Will never buy from an online retailer that uses UPS and will NEVER EVER ship UPS. Every time they've come in the past to deliver, never a door knock or door bell ring. This is the final straw. They deserve to go out of business!

    Shipment Details, Tracking Detail: "Your package is on time with a scheduled delivery date of 08/10/2017." Status: "In Transit: On Time", Scheduled Delivery: "08/10/2017", Shipped To: "DELAND, FL, US". Now the current... Scheduled Delivery: "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time.

    The Management at this location sees fit to send out its drivers without labels for pickups. Thus preventing the Driver from making his duly appointed rounds. I spent all day August 7th for a pickup to only have the Driver blow me off. After a complaint and a return to my location - the Driver stated... "they sent me out without labels this morning from the Depot." I then requested a "first thing in the morning" pickup for the very next day (from the Operations Manager). She REFUSED to make it up to me and proceeded to hold me hostage for another full day on August 8th. The driver finally arrived at 7:43 PM to pick up my package (and deliver another) and I refused BOTH. The second driver stated he would have been at my location at 9AM if Operations would have instructed it. I will no longer voluntarily use UPS, only FedEx.

    First delivery attempt I was gone. Delivery driver left a note about an access point. Got to the Access Point (a 20 min drive from my house), and it was a gas station in a strip mall that didn't look like it had been updated since it was built in the 60's, and not in a good way. Empty overgrown lot next to it, old busted cars everywhere. Clearly a low-rent area. (A friend of mine who grew up in that area later confirmed that it was the worst neighborhood in that part of town.) I went into the gas station to find out how to pick up my package. She pointed me to the *outside back wall* of the gas station (no windows), where there was a wall of lockers and an access screen. My ID was required, so I was holding my wallet. I felt like I was alone at an ATM (a 100-lb. single woman) in the worst possible neighborhood, where no one inside could see me.

    My package hadn't been delivered to the location yet, so I called them and asked to not have my package delivered there, as I didn't feel safe going back to that neighborhood. Then, after asking them to deliver it back to my home, they said it would take another 2 days because it had to go back to the hub first. Ok. So I waited most of the new scheduled day of delivery, but couldn't wait anymore, as I had an appointment. So I left a note on my door asking the UPS driver to drop off my package at the apartment complex rental office. I then attempted to contact UPS to ask them to send a message to confirm with the driver officially that I wanted them to drop it off at the office so they didn't have to come back and I didn't have to go to the hub. They hemmed and hawed and said that it's up to the driver. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they put me on hold for 5 min, and then the same person came back on the line!

    They told me to mark my preferences on my online account, which also wasn't working for me. They told me to create a new account and then call back. By the time I called back, the status of my package had changed to attempted delivery, and they didn't leave it at the rental office, but when I called the rental office, they had left other packages, just not mine. I will never use UPS again. Complete incompetence.

    I called customer service to request an estimate for when my package would be delivered and found out after working with a customer service rep for about 45 minutes on the phone that in order to access the GPS live map technology that UPS has developed to track delivery truck locations, I would need to pay for a $40/year premium membership. So my choice are: wait for 12 hours (6:30am - 8pm) for my package to arrive, with no information about an estimated delivery window or time, or pay for "premium" service, which I actually consider to be a basic customer service from a shipping company. Similar to the unbelievable price gouging of airlines charging fees even for overhead bin space, UPS is creating policies such as this that take basic services and turn them into chargeable "premium" services. 0 stars. Terrible policy.

    I ordered two items I need for my college courses, and I needed them for tomorrow. The items were delayed by Amazon due to volume, which is understandable. Sitting on the couch which is close to the door, no knock and no doorbell sounded. The "Undeliverable" sticker was on my mailbox around 5 pm, which is located inside the building, right next to my apartment door. I called the number on the Info Notice form, and they connected me with someone who deals with my area but they said the driver would not have it at the location near my apartment until tomorrow, which is too late.

    After I complained that I need the items tonight, not tomorrow. After that, they said I could meet up with the driver and obtain what I need. I tried that, but every time I got to the location he was at, he was no longer there. I drove around to every location they requested me to go to, for about a half hour, until I gave up. It was at least 5 different attempts. I called her back and she then told me to come pick it up at a location 20 minutes away. I received another call saying the driver would not be at that location tonight, so I would have to wait until tomorrow again. After yet another complaint, they finally called me back saying that they were making the driver return to the location 20 minutes away tonight at 8 pm. Very disappointed with this.

    I have always had great experiences with UPS. Always. The only thing that I have experienced is friendly, and courteous drivers. They leave your package at the door with instructions indicated and either knock on the door, or ring the bell to let you know that your package has arrived. I also then get a text message. I have lived in single family homes and apartment buildings, and it is the same service no matter what. In fact in secure buildings, the managers will give the UPS drivers a key to the front door so that they can come in and make their deliveries.

    Not so of FedEx. The FedEx drivers don't want the responsibility, or to do that much work. They would just rather leave packages in the mail room. At my single family home where I currently live, I have instructions for my Sunbasket delivery to be left in the front entry way of my home. The door is never locked, and it keeps my food out of the sun and heat if I am not home when they deliver. Do they do that? No! All they have to do is open the door and put the box inside. Instead, they leave it on the front stoop right in front of the door, so that I have to push the box out of the way with the door to get it open and get my box. And, they NEVER knock, or ring the bell to alert me that they have left my food! Even after repeated complaints. Sunbasket is bringing on UPS to deliver and I CAN'T wait! I am so happy that UPS will be delivering my food soon instead of FedEx.

    My returned parcel was to send back to Zara in Breinigsville PA on the June 27th. The return process was simple as placed return label on the box and dropped off at the UPS Store in Fort Lauderdale which near where I live. Then I waited for about 2 weeks and got suspicious why I had not received a refund from ZARA. When I started to check the tracking status, the parcel was last tracked on June 28th at Lauderdale Hill. When I called up the customer service asking about the tracking, the person insisted I have to go down to the drop off store to find out rather than started an investigation right away. So I did as told as the person said couldn't do anything else. Of course I looked so silly at the Fort Lauderdale UPS store asking them what happened to my package. The store would not keep any parcel. All parcels for the day all went to the driver.

    I called up customer service the 2nd time, and unprofessionally asked me silly question again if I dropped off at UPS store. Well, if I didn't, how am I able to see when and where was the last scanned status? So they started investigation on the July 17th. Till date, July 31st, no one had given me a call update me where my package is and my tracking status remained as "We're attempting to verify the package location. / Lost package investigation" since July 17th.

Despite all the efforts I made, the tv was still trashed by UPS' unprofessional service. The tv screen was cracked and unplayable. I've attached photos of how the tv was packaged so you can see how hard it will be to break it: there is sign on box to inform shipper which side should be up, there were thick foams and bubble wraps around the whole thing to reduce heavy impacts. But all of those will be in vain if UPS can't handle their business right.

Shipping envelopes are ripped or shredded, heavy cardboard busted open, etc. etc. They never give an opportunity to refuse delivery of these items as they drop it on the porch without knocking or ringing the bell. It is as though they are angry at having to actually ship anything and take it out on the parcels.

    Never ship anything valuable, it will get "lost." And filing for insurance is almost impossible. It seems the more you insure for, the more likely it is that the item(s) will get "lost," like a sign saying "this is worth stealing." I don't know why any company would continue to use their services, unless they're offering bargain basement pricing to the big online retailers and the retailers keep the balance of premium shipping costs paid by customers.

    Unacceptable service! Every time I have the misfortune of ordering something from a seller that uses UPS, the package is usually delayed for NO REASON. There have been times that I took the day off from work because I was guaranteed that my package would be delivered only to be notified that the package is literally in the same city but being delayed for no apparent reason.

    The responses from customer service reps on Facebook, and over the phone pretty much elude to the driver just being too lazy to either load it or deliver it because it's a large parcel, and none of them want to help. Hey, this is day three of my package being delayed (it was promised and paid for to be delivered by Monday,) but now UPS is saying Wednesday!!! All they state that they can do is put a hold on it (because it's been on the truck) so that the next morning instead of being delayed again (for no reason,) that I could pick it up the next day. This is NOT customer service!!! Customer service is delivering my package ASAP that is three days overdue!

    Bottom line, UPS is charging for a service they are NOT providing at this point. I am not the only one having issues like this - with all of the negative reviews, and similar accounts, how is it that they can stay in business? This is NOT the first time that I've had trouble with UPS in Englewood, CO. The last time I had to use UPS I bought a chair that was supposedly attempted to be delivered at 7:30 PM on a Friday, yet we were home, and NO ONE knocked on the door, and that package was delayed another three days due to the alleged "delivery attempt."

    UPS Tucson repeatedly logged false requests from me to pick up my package at the UPS facility in Tucson. I had made no such requests as I live an hour away from their facility, and do not drive. After a week of waiting for my packages and requesting (more than two times) for it to be delivered to my home address I was forced to request the sender to cancel my order. I am extremely disappointed with UPS's lack of performance and have lost faith in them. When I place order online I am making sure to request that they do not send it through UPS.

    I mailed a package to my dad that I haven't seen in 30 yrs. I didn't know if he'd accept it and I wanted to know he got it so I paid extra for a signature! I chose the alternate return address Option in case he didn't accept it. The package weighed a little over 2 lbs (a canvas print). I put in 3.5 lbs to be safe and they rounded it up to 5 lbs. I was ok with that if it was a minimum or something. This is where it gets skeptical! A few days later they charged my credit card more saying the package was overweight. Then I finally received notification that it couldn't be delivered and that it was being shipped back to me in San Francisco. WAIT!!! I chose to have it returned to my friend in Atlanta! After calling and talking with multiple people they continued to insist that I was lying or that there was no such service. It's on the first page when you start a shipment! I even tried to get them to look at the web page and they refused!

    I asked why didn't they send it back to the address I added. I was told they sent it back to the address on the label. Pure b/s! I said, "If that were true we most likely would not be having this conversation, maybe someone printed a different label?" "We would never do that sir, we use the label you printed!" Pure b/s again! I have proof in hand! They printed two different labels and put them both over the original! They don't know that there is a copy of the original label in the box (with the Atlanta return address)! I don't know what else to do or who else to contact! Oh yeah, I forgot... They charged me again to return it! TO THE WRONG ADDRESS! After about an hour dealing on the phone they agreed to refund the charges they kept adding to my card. (Sounds illegal since I didn't agree, or did I???) One person said I agreed when I accepted the label? I think if that's true it should be spelled out where it's easy to see.

    I would have never used them if I had known all the facts and if I had known they wouldn't return to the correct address. Now I have to pay to ship it back again... IT WON'T BE UPS! I'm done with them! Oh, and it seems to not be over yet! I get an email about them refunding the difference of yet another charge for returning it! There is something very wrong here! It seems I might have to contact the bank so they can't continue to charge my card! Lesson learned! DON'T TRUST UPS, especially WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!

    I say they have now officially earned the title of worst customer service ever! That says a lot, especially to be above AT&T & Comcast which are famous for poor customer service! Pay a little extra and avoid the headache is my advice to everyone! Also, for a company that large in this day and age to not even respond to social media when asked about this stuff says a lot about them as a company as well! Fitbit, Costco and especially Amazon could teach them a few things but they don't even seem to care!

    I have been ordering things from various companies for years and have never had worse service than UPS. I've lost thousands of dollars in work and also clients because of them. They delivered a 500-pound tent to my house late of course and they threw it on my porch. The boxes were smashed and opened. There were 5 total and only 4 showed. The 5th one was supposed to be there the next day. They sent it back to the shipper and I had someone sitting at my house all day waiting for it. They never contacted me or updated the app to say this was happening. I called when it never showed and the lady that answered sounded like she just left a gang fight and was so rude that I wanted to smack her. I was very calm and asked why was this not delivered, reply, "I don't know I'm not the driver." I said "Ok then. Can you find out?" Reply, "I guess so but it's going to be a while. I'm going in break. Hold on." Can you believe that?

    So I wanted to see how long this would actually take. We were driving to Texas from Nevada so I had time to kill, and this is the reason I had someone waiting on the package, so 45 min later she picks up the phone and says "You waited." I said "Yep sure did and I'm going to until I find out why this isn't delivered." She said "The shipper wanted it back so deal with it." I said "So your telling me that the shippers wanted just one of 5 boxes back after a month of waiting on it." She said "Yeah that's right. Call and ** at them." So the next day I called the company I bought the tent from. They said we never spoke with them or requested anything back, so I called Jos again. I finally found out from another rep that apparently thought she had me in mute as she was talking about me and every other customer saying what a bunch of ** we all are.

    She said that it was damaged and sent back but didn't want to tell me because I had already filed a claim about the first 4 that came damaged, so she gets back on and says the company wanted it back. I started laughing and said "Oh ok then. The conversation you were having with your buddy just now when you thought I was muted was about someone else?" Dead silence, she then said "What, I don't know what you're talking about." I said "You just told your buddy that you didn't want to tell me that you damaged the last box because I already have a claim for the boxes your driver threw on my porch and busted my table the glass and chipped the stucco on my house." Mind you it sounded like a crash when he threw it, I caught him running to his truck and said "What the hell is wrong with you?" and he said "It will be fine" and jumped in the truck and took off.

    So the claim I filed for my house and my items that I paid for they say I have to get a release from the shipper to allow me to file in my stuff because it was them that shipped it. Then I ordered some other things that were again late because the company I ordered from used them, I didn't know they did. The items were forgotten by the driver at the warehouse and they refused to go get them and come back. These were ordered from Amazon, prime so it's guaranteed delivery dates. The next day I hear the truck pull up and he threw the package about 8 feet onto my porch and broke it, and took off. I tried to stop him but he sped off in a cul-de-sac with kids and cars all over. I called UPS and sat in hold for an hour and finally they get on the phone.

    I said "You guys are something, the reps lie to everyone and then when they're caught they hang up in you. What are you going to do about it?" He said "Well I have a hard time believing that's what happened." I said "Ok I have 16 cameras in my house that recorded all of it. Would you like to see it?" Dead silence. "Ok then why don't you call Amazon and they will replace it for free." I said "Are freakin' kidding me, you want Amazon to pay for your screw ups?" He said "Well what do you want me to do." I said "Absolutely nothing. I have this and all the other calls recorded and I'm going to sue you and turn you into everyone I can." He hung up.

    I'm still waiting on things I ordered a month ago and Amazon has tried to find everything but UPS is not doing anything. I've never had this issue with FedEx and this needs to be stopped. There was a UPS driver that was stealing items that he left at people's homes as well. He would tell one of his scumbag friends that the people were not home and to go get it after he dropped it off. We should all file a class action lawsuit against them, if anyone wants to I will steer it. I have the lawyer and am ready to go. These scumbags shouldn't get away with it.

    My wife received e-mail notice from UPS, while she was at work, that a package was to be delivered to the house the same day (7-13-2017) and would require a signature. I am retired and since I could be home all day my wife called me and asked me to watch for the driver and sign for the package. I waited all day with my front door open, no delivery. We had a prior engagement for dinner and left the house at 4:30 pm. Upon our return there was a ups sticker on our door (sorry we missed you tried delivery at 6:30 pm) that our package would be delivered to a free standing locker at a gas station at 15351 East Iliff Ave and our package would be available for us to pick up typically by 1 pm.

    Our first visit to this parcel drop was at 2 pm (7-14-2017) no item in box. Error code on screen. We contacted the phone help listed on their container and the help we got was, "I don't know. It could still be on the truck." We asked, "well if we got this notice yesterday shouldn't it have been placed in the drop box yesterday by 8pm." Answer, "I don't know". Went back to the box at 6 pm, still no package.

    11am on 7-15-2017, went back to the drop location. You guessed it - no package. Called ups Helpline once again. This agent said "it's on the truck." What the **. Where is our package? "Well I don't know but it should be delivered to the drop box." OK, you don't know where it is but you say it will be delivered to the drop box, SERIOUSLY. We asked she change the delivery to our house since it obviously wasn't here and I am tired of coming to this site. Customer service said we will change the delivery to your residence. "OK, thank you, when will that be?" Response, "I don't know." So UPS where is our package? In your drivers house? Great customer service - do they read the statement "I DON'T KNOW" from a wall plaque? My wife will have to notify the company that sent the package that it never arrived and see if we can get a replacement sent.

    Wow, not sure what is going on at UPS, but for the past year or so their service has sucked. Seems every delivery I am expecting gets "delayed". Then as a shipper, my experience has been disastrous. We have a huge remembrance quilt signed by former workers in the nuclear weapons industry. Many of them are deceased and the value of the quilt is priceless. They lost both it and a huge metal frame we use to hang it. We were supposed to be having an event with many people expected to attend. The event went on, but no quilt. It is in a huge container - how does that get lost? I think it is because the warehouse, dock or delivery people are too lazy to mess with it.

    Well after two weeks and us claiming the value was $500,000 that it mysteriously showed up back in Denver. Then we shipped both display for a trade show. Again, didn't show up. A day later, customer service said they found it. I excitedly went to the hotel front desk to claim it and UPS had shipped us a gas generator that was leaking oil and gas!!! WTF??? How do you confuse that with a trade show display we clearly stated was in a black duffle bag??? This too showed up weeks later at our office! Our office was not the company who shipped it, so how it ended back up there is a mystery. Dealing with their customer service people just ends in frustration and our "account executive" is a joke. They are there to get your money, not help you with problems. UPS is going to go down in flames in they don't get their ** in order.

    Considering UPS only competes with FedEx, USPS, and OnTrac, they do a pretty awesome job. They could perform far worse and it's not like any of us could do anything about it, but they obviously continue to strive to innovate and improve their service. Items regularly arrive sooner than originally quoted, and rarely arrive later. To see such a low score on here proves the 80/20 theory, and shows that unsatisfied customers are far fewer, but louder, than satisfied ones. I honestly don't even comprehend how so many of you could be complaining. Do I dislike the fact that my street is clearly at the end, if not the last, on their route so packages typically arrive after 6 pm? Sure. Would I prefer they do a better job of hiding the packages from street view when they have to leave them? Absolutely. But considering the vast amount of parcels they deliver, and how few times issues arise, UPS is an amazing example of an expertly operated business.

    The few times I have a real issue with them, they've gone out of their way to make sure I'm taken care of. For example, I want to change the delivery of a current Amazon order to pick it up at a local UPS location, something I regularly do when I need the item before 6 pm, but for some reason the website is stating there's no local UPS locations. I have no doubt that as soon as customer service opens up in the morning, they'll take care of the issue.

    I have my medicine delivered through UPS. I take ** which must be refrigerated. The company pack the medicine correctly with ice packs. My problem is the delivery. I have to conclude that UPS drivers cannot read. On the shipping label, right under my name, on top of my address it says "leave by front door ring doorbell". The reason for this is, I'm an older guy and in the afternoons I will take a nap. I have a little Pug who, when the doorbell rings, he barks like crazy. He is my furry alarm clock. This is a monthly delivery. During the winter it doesn't matter much if the driver does not ring the bell, it will generally be cold outside. But during the summer, heat.

    Each box is about $5300.00. I have insurance but only for the first box. If I have to ask for another deliver because the box sat out in the Sun too long, I have to pay or just go without my meds for a month. One 1 occasion, I paid, on two other occasions, I went without. I have complained to UPS customer service people - got nowhere. This is by far the dumbest organization on the planet. Never had any problem with FedEx but I cannot specify the carrier. I have solved my problem by cancelling the home delivery. I will pick up the meds from the pharmacy. At least there I won't have to deal with jackasses who cannot read. If there was a way to give UPS zero stars, I would.

After I repeat the tracking number 3 times and after I request that she add "delivery instructions" to my tracking number, she cannot commit to doing so because she really doesn't understand me. She insists I must get in touch with the shipper Best Buy - to add delivery instructions - although I related that the shipper directed me to call UPS. Call devolves into 20 minutes worth of utterly failed understanding.

    I received an Invoice on June 23 about an Invoice for an overdue bill of $40. When I call the phone listed on the overdue bill Invoice, I had to wait a long time. Finally, a woman answered the phone and I explained I was asking what the bill was for. The woman had broken English, sounded like she was from India, and was difficult to understand. She continued to read from a script, and could not answer my question. I asked to speak to her manager, and she got extremely defensive and started to speak loudly repeating over and over the same things she had just said, and when I tried to interject, she said, "Let me SPEAK first!" I asked again to speak to her manager, and she was hostile on the phone. When I asked her if she was saying she would not connect me to her manager, she finally said "Hold please." I was on Hold for another five minutes when her manager came on the phone.

    I asked him what the $40 charge was for, because the written Invoice did not state what it was for. I asked him if it was for a shipping charge, and he said it was not for any shipping charge, and essentially read from a script that I owed $40 and that had to be paid before they could do anything else. I asked to speak to customer service, and got a similar scenario, except the manager must have written that he had just talked to me, so once again it was not resolved. I tried called a Billing phone number and got a recorded message that said that due to high volume calls I would a long wait time of 17 minutes. I had already spent more than an hour on the phone trying to find a solution to this solution.

    I left home and later in the day went on UPS online contact and wrote an email to customer service the following question: "I just received the following invoice this week dated June 23, 2017. The letter said I owed $40 but did not say what the $40 was for. I called the accounts receivable dept and spoke to one woman who was very difficult for me to understand so I requested to speak to her manager. I had a frustrating experience speaking with both the first representative and the manager. No one was able to explain to me what the charge of $40 was for. I would like to renew MY Choice account. Please help."

    I got the following response this morning in my email: "Good Morning Helen. You will find a copy of the 4/29 invoice for 40.00 for billing for the MY CHOICE PREMIUM. Please let me know when that will be processed and I will resume your account. Thank you, Mary. UPS GLOBAL BUSINESS SERVICES." UPS Delivery is Great, but not their phone contact. This was one of the most frustrating Customer Service from any company I have dealt with by phone! Very poor Customer Service!!

    I've had UPS drivers run over three ladders and a wheel barrel. A manager came out to assess the damages and told me there's nothing he can do. He acted as if he didn't believe me and advised me to get a camera. I push my equipment in at the top of my driveway when I'm finished for the day. I laid the ladders sideways so the most they would stick out would be about 4 to 5 inches plenty of room to maneuver around. Their trucks have also skid down my driveway moving large boulders in my landscape. Upon pursuing a claim for at least the cost of one ladder I was told by management that they would have to fire someone.

    I told my local UPS office that I never want to see a brown truck driving down my driveway ever again the manager told me she would have the driver walk the package down. Having been employed by the Postal Service for 27 years I know how inconvenient that could be. I told management that I would never send packages through UPS ever again. In April their office was one day away from returning a large tax refund check as unclaimed. I spent over a week trying through my bank to locate that check. Upon inquiring about their will call service. The manager rudely said, "I thought you weren't using UPS anymore." I replied, "You're right but I can't control how a company sends their parcels." I was told the sender needs to include my phone number with my address. I find that answer to be a bunch of crap as I don't find it necessary that merchants have my phone number.

    I truly believe that UPS has my address flagged as a problem customer just for trying to get compensation for over $350.00 worth of damage they have caused. Only asking for replacement on 1 item. Management had total disregard for my losses telling me the driver said he's never run over anything. It was my word against theirs. I live on a private road with 1 neighbor and I've always found the damage after a delivery. 1 pissed consumer.

UPS intercepted the package prior to the final delivery and sent it back to me. They said the package was damaged but it wasn't. It was securely wrapped in bubble wrap and no damage inside or out. When I tried to get a refund or partial refund, they gave me the runaround - almost 20 emails back and forth. The phone numbers they provide to speak to a supervisor are not good numbers so you can never connect with someone in authority to resolve your problem. UPS simply does not care about its customers.

    MPLAYER PILFERED AND STOLE MY SHIPMENT FROM THE PACKAGE AND RE-SEALED IT. Item was shipped by a not so careful company that has "CAMERA" in their name. Box weight supposed to be 2 pounds, package was all of 8 OUNCES, 1.5 pounds LIGHT. Delivered to me with the hole re-sealed with UPS quality tape. UPS had the package from door to door, and an employee had to have punched a hole in the box to get the camera part (a lens, rather expensive) out, and the hole ended up the shape of the retail box for that type of lens.

    UPS was very laissez-faire (We really don't care, but we'll look into it and get back to you in one or two days with your lens). Third day, no response. I'm out my product ($169.99 retail) and they have not called. THEIR EMPLOYEE STOLE IT. It's not like you can waltz in their shipping hubs and steal, they are guarded, so it HAD TO BE AN EMPLOYEE.

I called customer service again and they said it was out for delivery again. Never arrived. Called customer service. Could not understand accent and they continually asked me to repeat the tracking number. Asked for supervisor and was disconnected. Checked online at 8 pm and the driver logged that he had an incomplete address on the package. Called customer service again, they confirmed that the address was complete and correct. The original delivery date was June 30.

    No more calls. No more checking website. I don't want to deal with UPS ever again. I contacted the product vendor and told them the package never arrived. I'll let them deal with it.

Because the plane was 1 hour late arriving at 9:57 in the morning they did not unload the container all day. Now I had contacted customer service and was told my package info would be updated within 2 hours and my package would be delivered the same day or Saturday morning, because of course this was a Friday. After 4 hours I called back and was told they were unable to unload the shipment all day so it would not be delivered until Monday. 4 days for an overnight delivery. I wanted the delivery address changed so it would go to my brothers since I would not be there on Monday. They said they were unable to change it. I asked how they were unable to change it when they were not going to deliver it for 3 more days. He says customer service has no control over what goes on at the centers but refuse to give a number for the center.

    I had to give them my private gate code to deliver the package to my front door and told them if it was gone when I got back not only would I file a claim but I would file a class action lawsuit. I also told them there better not be one thing missing from my property when I returned. I totally do not trust these people after all the hassles I have had with them in the last year. I told Amazon they better file a complaint and do not ship anything of mine with UPS again or I would cancel my prime and never buy anything from Amazon again. No one should be using this service and if Amazon continues to they are idiots as well. UPS = unreliable piece of **. And by the way a complaint does absolutely nothing to change their poor customer service.

    On Jun 27 a delivery was scheduled for Wednesday, Jun 28. I waited all day on Jun 28, and finally was advised delivery was changed to Thursday, Jun 29, 3:30p-7:00p. On Thursday, I briefly stepped out about 20 minutes to a nearby ATM machine. Upon returning I found a notice on my door that he attempted to deliver at 12:10p (way before the scheduled 3:30p). I contact UPS's customer service. They told me they would leave the package at their center more than 10-15 miles from my home. I could pick it up there, or wait another 3-4 days for them to reschedule another delivery (which didn't include Jul 4). I ended up spending a lot of time on hold before I could spoke to customer service people. Sometimes I was assured my I would get a call back after they checked the status (of course that never happened). I demanded they deliver my package the next day Friday Jun 30.

    Finally after no sign of the package, I started calling for an update around 3 pm. I was told he had delivered the package. I told them it wasn't at my door (and the UPS slip was still on the door). I called twice more and finally found out he had delivered it to the wrong apartment. My label had the correct address. After a few more phone calls, I found out they told the driver to go back and get the package and deliver it to my apartment. He went back but nobody answered the door, so he left. A contact person updated, and told me to file a claim. She also had the nerve to say if I had gone to their facility to pick it up, this wouldn't have happened and I would have my package. It doesn't matter that the driver come several hours before his scheduled delivery time. And the next day lost my parcel by delivering it to the wrong address.

    So this became three days of lost time of time, frustration, the loss of my purchase, stupid excuses and ruined holiday plans because I had to wait at the house for this delivery when I should have been on the road. They said they couldn't do anymore, so if I want any resolution have would have to take steps and file a claim. I advised the seller an email about the loss of my purchase, as well as filed a claim number from Ebay. Now I have to call Ebay on Jul 6 for an update on the status. I still want my purchase, but want no part of UPS.

Now I have to wait a week and a half for the sender to receive the package and for them to send it back. Ridiculous customer service that you guys have.

    I had purchased a playset from Gorilla, they used UPS to deliver it. The package arrived at the terminal near my Town in Massachusetts Monday last week, and was supposed to arrive here on Tuesday of last week as well. However, it wasn't delivered. That was 6 days ago and is still not delivered. On Tuesday last week, this was scheduled to get here, we were told the package was loaded in the truck and was on the road (at least this was assured to me by the UPS managers on the terminal). We waited but it wasn't delivered. Then we were told the truck never left the facility.

    On Wednesday, we were told this was loaded and on the road (at least that is what we were told). We waited, the package was not delivered. We were told it was never dispatched at the end. On Thursday, we were told the package was on the road and was to be delivered, we waited, but was never delivered. It appears it wasn't dispatched. On Friday, they said was not going to be delivered because there were no drivers.

    On Monday, they assured us it was to be delivered as a priority. We waited and waited. We called, it was on the road, it was in the town next door, but at the end of the day, it was not delivered. The reason they said was "late arrival"... Whatever that means, because we've been waiting home... Since Tuesday last week, I had been home waiting for this to arrive. Every single day, including that Friday where they said it wasn't going to be delivered due to not having drivers. When they informed us, it was too late, I had already stayed home, and has been a waste of time.

    I have called UPS, the managers at the terminal and UPS customer service, but it doesn't really matter. I am just one more tiny customer so they haven't done anything to help. Some even have said that the issue had been escalated (to whom?) but has made no difference. It appears this item is so large, that the drivers don't want to deal with this and so prefer not having it delivered. It has never been unloaded... We've been at the facility, and this has always been in the truck. But for UPS has decided not to deliver it (as it seems in this case). Every single person I've spoken to have just said the typical words, "We understand and apologize for the inconvenience, we are doing everything we can (not sure what, they should just do their job, not everything they can..)" but are just saying this and doing nothing.

    The truth is, this package has reached the terminal near our town (we've seen it), it has left the facility but has never even reached my town. We have been always waiting here to receive it. Still on day 6 of waiting been on phone with UPS, has not gotten here. I had even had a UPS person say that I could look for my own freight company to pick it up or if I didn't want it anymore it would be easier... I want this item, but at this point, I don't know what to do. It hasn't been resolved yet, but likely UPS will not deliver it. Seems I will have to as the UPS person suggests, return this and ask for refund. We'll have to purchase the playset from a local buyer which cost almost the double. No one to absorb that amount but us so may not do it. Surely, UPS will not assume any responsibility of this as has done so far, and will not provide any further assistance.

    Accurately my drum set arrived in two boxes shipped from Musician's Friend. I called the shipper as the second box was damaged and open hole. The driver for UPS had SHOVED the two heavy boxes in front of my only door out to the small porch and left. I had nothing to sign. Upon opening over a 100 lbs of drum and hardware I discovered the bent drum hoop and loose screws falling out of the box. Some missing and the unit attached to the drum now loose having been yanked out by whatever caused the hole which appeared to be a fork lift. I am compensated only $25 from the shipper and UPS wanted $13.50 to return what they damaged. I called the shipper was assured a new label would come with the driver to be a free return. I never saw the driver pick up the box on the small front porch and then both shipper and UPS told me it was stolen.

    I have a 218' driveway off a road where everyone travels over the speed limit of 55mph. There are no curbs. No way for anyone to just cruise by and see the drum up on a porch behind a railing with my car parked in front of the porch. They would have had to carry it another 50' to their vehicle. I have a watch dog and we were home. No one knocked. I have a heavy iron knocker. Now I find that all shippers only have a $100 liability and most home owners have deductibles of at least $1000 on items stolen.

    My shipper will not even check the two warehouses that move the boxes through to final destination. They want me to buy a whole new set to get the one piece. I am so disappointed also in Musician's Friend for promising me that UPS would have a label created on the spot for the return. I believe companies are using UPS because they know they cannot repair, they cannot replace damaged parts of sets, and they use call centers to stop customer complaints and to create new orders.

    They are truly thieves. I highly recommend that you stay away from them. When shipping items, they sell you an expensive "insurance" claiming that you can recover the cost of the item and shipping cost if the item is delivered broken or gets lost. Guess what? The item that we shipped was delivered shattered, literally in pieces, but after staying on hold for hours to get through to a representative, they refused to refund me a penny -- despite having paid a considerable sums for shipping and for insurance.

They make customer service a hassle. For the 35+ years they have been mucking up the biggest percentage of my deliveries it has been impossible to call the local terminal.

    I have packages delivered to my home and my business several times a week. I have been having a problem with UPS drivers, in particular, for at least 5 years. She doesn't want to get out of her truck, so lies to UPS and says I live in a gated community (I don't) or that there was "ice" on my sidewalk (there wasn't, the walk across the lawn was shoveled and salted and we don't have "sidewalks" in our neighborhood in front of or between houses) or, the kicker, that "there were too many branches and leaves over the walkway so I couldn't deliver the package" then she sits in her comfy truck and doesn't bother to exit the truck to deliver the package.

    On a several occasions, if I have been home working, she has come TO THE DOOR to yell at me about "the branches" (I live on a wooded acre and there are trees here, the walkway is landscaped enough so that a 7 ft tall person could walk through it). She also THREATENED ME with "if you don't cut them branches, I won't deliver nuthin." Seriously! I am not going to change my landscaping so that a lazy UPS driver doesn't have to be exposed to trees 4-5 feet above her lazy head!

    Yesterday, she lied and refused to deliver a package, telling UPS and the supplier we lived in a gated community and she had no code! We don't live in a gated community! She just didn't want to get out of her truck and walk the 50 feet or so to our door. (Maybe she has a tree phobia. In any case, if she refuses to do her job, she needs to do something else for a living!) Yes, we have large front lawns. She has to walk down a driveway and across a landscaped walk and up 5 stairs OR she could come down the driveway and leave the package at the front door. She is too LAZY to do either.

    I called UPS and spoke to someone whom I couldn't understand (she spoke with a rapid fire accent and I could barely understand her and she got upset when I asked her to repeat herself) and she refused to resolve the issue, saying she had no access to "old" delivery information (from the day before) and as the supplier already sent another package, and gave me a different tracking number, I would need the "old" tracking number to see what happened to the other package. The "old" tracking number disappeared from the sender's website after they sent a new package at nearly midnight last night.

    I also have a UPS account, but the "customer service person" refused to access the data. And, after more than 40 minutes on the phone, I hung up. I'm sick of LAZY drivers, "customer service personnel" who refuse to take complaints on drivers and who are useless to help those of us who PAY for UPS's service. I would insist my suppliers use only Fed Ex, but that isn't always an option.

    UPS needs to get their company together. THIS is what happens when a company has a near monopoly on a service. I still don't know where my "new" package is. Evidently, UPS dropped it off at my local post office early this morning. There is still the ORIGINAL package, which the lazy driver refused to deliver yesterday, which I cannot get any data on. Enough, UPS. Hire competent people. If they don't want to do their job, fire them.

    This is an update to my previous complaint about a lost shipment. Because the label came off of the shipment, lost and found opened the package to locate identifying information. They misprinted the address they found inside so the package was delivered to the wrong address ON THE EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE. The package remained at that wrong address for over two weeks until lost and found eventually located it after corporate customer service got involved. The recipient called the UPS facility in the city where the package had been delivered and arranged to pick it up at the UPS facility. The contents of the shipment were intact and the shipping charges were reimbursed to the sender. It is worth noting that this triangle of errors began with a label that had been applied poorly at the counter by the UPS agent. Apply your own labels to be certain they are secure.

    I shipped my relative's luggage back to him on May 30, 2017 through the UPS Customer Care facility in Cheektowaga, NY with an expected delivery date of June 2. On May 31, no updates had been made to the tracking progress. I stopped back there after work and asked if the tan wheeled luggage had been shipped out, and they assured me that their dock is emptied every night (they didn't say emptied where). The next day there was still no tracking update on my shipment so I went to the hub in Buffalo, NY where the shipment would have been taken. I was told I had to wait until it was late for delivery before they could do anything. Knowing that my shipment hadn't even left Buffalo, it would have been a lot easier to locate it at that time than waiting three more days to begin a cross-country search, but the agents apparently won't veer from the process flow chart.

    The next day, I took a picture of the luggage to each facility guessing that it was highly unlikely they had multiple tan wheeled luggage shipments each day. It had no effect. When I dropped the photo off and told them this is the item that has not yet left their hands according to the tracking information, the agent replied, "Good luck." The luggage never arrived at its destination, and I am now convinced it was pilfered. I filed a complaint with the BBB who has received thousands of negative reviews on UPS yet continues to give them an A+ rating.

    I will never use UPS again. They seem to have no control over the shipments or their employees. They apparently did not look into on-site video cameras to see who touched my shipment last. They have no effective loss prevention process to protect consumers that I can tell. I gave them warning as soon as I saw my shipment wasn't moving hoping to avoid this most distressing experience.

    I have been very dissatisfied with UPS for some time now. In January 2015 they lost three shipments of mine and would not pay for them citing that they were not packaged properly. We had shipped 100's of these packages with them prior to this event and after before switching to FedEx. These are big packages that I paid extra handling charges on. I ask them if it was the packaging then why could they not return the defective packaging to me. I was told it could not be located. In the long and short of it I battled with them for six month and finally gave up.

    Now I have not shipped with them since switching to FedEx but my incoming shipments keep getting delayed by days and it is costing me sales due to not having customers product here when promised. At this point I feel that UPS does not care about taking care of its customers in any way shape or form. I just lost a sale and am eating the 3 day shipping upcharge on the order due to another mysterious UPS delay so they do not have to refund the extra shipping charges. So I will be instructing my vendors that I will no longer be accepting deliveries from UPS.

Now it is 3 pm and they say it will be delivered today. How can I believe them? Now they say on twitter that there is no info on the package saying that it should be delivered fast. They are basically saying I lied. They are the ones lying. If they had told us it was going to take more than 48 hours, we would have gone with FedEx. My recommendation: if you need a reliable delivery company, don't go with UPS. Detail: the package had to travel only 80 miles!

    UPS SurePost - I think this is the most efficient and fast service. On many occasions they delivered the package before the estimated day. I have received at least 40 to 50 packages last year. Maybe about 2 packages didn't arrive on time. There is another problem. Most of the time the driver doesn't ring the bell. So I have to constantly track the package to know that it was delivered. However, I'm satisfied with their overall service.

    I sent a package to Canada (shoes) and declared the value at $80 and the Clark prints another paper and write 800 on it. At first, I did not catch the mistake. I called the store and he admitted his mistake and said he would correct it. He did nothing and later denied he made a mistake. I called UPS and they called me back to inform me that it was my mistake and I should not sign anything before reading it.

    I contacted the Canadian customs and they helped recover some of my losses, then UPS calls me back a week after they lectured me on how signing documents before reading it, and they were trying take credit for the hard work I did with Canada customs. I could not believe she actually said she talked to Canada customs and resolved my situation. Then she said she has were I declared the value at $80 and she was not going to help me anymore and the brokerage fees they charged me I was not getting back but Canada customs charges they got back to me. What a joke. I will never uses these thieves ever again.

    On 5-7-2017 my wife ordered me a stained glass kit from Anything In Stained Glass, which is in Maryland. I live in Texas. UPS had given me a date to receive my package. I did not get it so I called UPS and was told yet another date, then another, then they said my package accidentally got sent to California. Well after that they claimed they lost it. I have been on the phone with them a few times and got promises that never came true. Anything In Stained Glass did resend me another, which they had to send via UPS because of a contract obligation. I finally received my package on 5-26/2017. This was the package resent by Anything In Stained Glass. I refuse to ever use UPS because of their poor customer service and total lack of accountability.

    If I could give it zero stars I would. How you gonna say you can't deliver to my house then go? I tried at the office when the UPS never even came by the place. I get deliveries all the time. Wow why you gonna lie like that? Very bad experience. Never will I use UPS again so I don't even know if I'm gonna get my packages.

    Anyone looking for a HUGE box of new Converse shoes? Well, they were delivered to my house in La Jolla, my husband's name as sender and recipient, but we have nothing to do with these shoes. Moreover we don't want them. Tried to call UPS to ask them to come pick it up and got endless transfers. I'm not lifting this heavy box, nor spending any more time on hold. It'll sit outside until I throw it in the garbage.

    UPS dropped off a package on the door step and it was stolen. I made a claim and after a month and a half they finally paid a fraction of what the package was valued. Worst customer service ever. Won't back up their customers at all. I will never use UPS again. FedEx is the way to go.

    I just had a package delivered to me by them yesterday. My experience was so bad that I wrote to Amazon and recommended they stop using UPS for their shipping. I received a package with no shipping box. The label was just slapped onto the product box. The box looked like the driver had gotten out of his truck, put it on the ground and kicked it all the way to my door. I would never recommend using UPS to anyone!
