    UPS is fine except when they aren't. Sometimes they drop packages in the middle of my driveway instead of next to the carport door. If I don't see them on the driveway, kersplat. I go over them with the car and they are ruined. It only takes a few more steps to place them in the right place. Also, they come at all different times - other than when I am told they will arrive by my notices. Sometimes a day early, sometimes a day later and sometimes (miracle of miracles) on time.

    UPS is too expensive. Drivers tend to deliver anywhere. They do not break a lot and they lose things. But most are good drivers... and shipping and tracking all good.

    The service is terrible! Almost every box I get looks like it has been through a war. Lots of times the box has been busted open and retaped. Lot of the time they stand in my yard and just throw boxes on my porch. Some have hit really hard. I have great concern that some time they are going to put a hole or crack in my siding on my house. The drivers should have more concern for the packages, or if the company puts such demands on the drivers that they really need to almost do a drive by and throw packages then the company needs to change.

    Damaged boxes, left at my door in plain sight. No way to have a claim as it becomes a debate of you against the courier company. No signature is requested so no proof of delivery.

    This is one of many cases with UPS. Fri. 25 Aug. 2017, I wait until 8:45 pm for ups so I can receive and sign for a package. No ups, so I lock my storm door. Sat. Morning, a notice is on the door from UPS. On Fri. Evening, no one from ups knocked, kicked, blew a whistle, called my name, nothing to let me know ups was trying to make a delivery, which seems to be standard procedure. If I didn't have to sign for the pkg., It would have been left on the porch, which is another standard procedure. I got my pkg. Sat. 26 Aug. 2017, and the delivery man rang the bell loud and clear, and knocked on the door like a professional. A month before this incident, THE DRIVER RODE MY REFRIGERATED MEDICINE AROUND FOR A WEEK, BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T KNOCK ON THE DOOR OR RING THE BELL. Clear case of sorry employee.

    I have spent the entire day either on the phone or waiting for a return phone call. I order products from a company on a once a month basis and usually I get my package. However twice now it's been returned to shipper because the UPS driver says my address doesnt exist. The response from customer service is "new driver". 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. Funny a taxi or Uber or pizza delivery kid can find it no problem. UPS is the worst company out there for delivery and that is compounded by their extremely poor customer service.

    I expedited my passport to get to me ASAP. It was gonna be delivered on the last day I needed it. I paid extra for overnight air so it would be at my work at 10:30 am on a Friday. The driver pulls up said he doesn't have my package they misplaced it. I called UPS to tell them how important this was. They said they call me back. To make this quick I called 3 times and then 5 hours later they call me back saying it was the plane that was late. But the driver already told me it was lost while loading it up. 5 pm come around it's the same driver as the am. He hands me my passport and says the guy loading it on the truck put it on the desk and forgot about it. So now I can’t go on the job I need my passport for and UPS made me lose out on making over $15,000 and all they have to say is "I’m sorry." This is completely unprofessional and they didn’t care at all because they aren’t losing out on anything.

    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. This is just so frustrating to the point that I will just start making my purchases in store. UPS is useless and I despise all of their employees.

    The UPS delivery driver left the note on my door that my item will be on 8629 Richmond High Way UPS access point. When I went there there was nothing. I even called the customer service and asked them to open all the box to check in my box. They did but there was nothing, they asked me, "do you want the driver to bring it to your home?" I said yes. I waited for the Driver the next day. He never showed up. Instead I was told that I refused to accept my item which is a lie. The item is supposed to be in the access point for seven days before it is returned to the shipper but sad the UPS superior or the driver don't seem they care about the customer. They returned my item to the shipper. This is my experience with UPS.

    Very disappointed with UPS. They dont take care of your goods. Whether being shipped or received. Not only do they damage your things and cause refunds. But UPS will not pay for your goods or compensate. Horrible company and they will never have my business again. I shipped a brand new box and my merchandise was in excellent condition and they trashed it. Very disappointed.

    Extremely terrible service. Would not recommend using UPS. First off I had to ordered my birth certificate in order to obtain a passport and the Cook County Health Department only ships UPS. 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.

    What a deplorable experience. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Speaking to a real person is a rarity. Everything is automated. My package did not get delivered as promised, it got lost in some warehouse. It was found 10 days later, the huge 90 lbs box was repackaged into a smaller box with half of the items missing. My recipient received half of her items, some damage was incurred with broken glass from her picture frames and such. Her personal belongings such as a purses all missing. My check was cashed very quickly however and no notice was ever given. DEPLORABLE SERVICE. I will never use UPS again.

    UPS delivered a package on wed 8/16/17. They left the package damaged and opened, propped against my garage door. I contacted Target and UPS. UPS keeps sending drivers to my house but the idiots are not taking the package. It can't be this hard to send an intelligent driver to pick up this garbage of a delivery. I would never use UPS for anything. I think they are like insurance companies... They hope you get tired and simply go away.

I get rid of my old mattress in anticipation of new one. Call in after 5 pm and am told the package is on 'its way and will be delivered today'. Call in at 8pm get the same reply. Sleep on the couch. Wake up with aching back. Call up UPS. 'Package is on the truck for delivery' and a promise to call and verify delivery time. 2 hr later get a call with the statement 'Package is too big and did not fit on the truck.

    Not only was the expensive piece of furniture I ordered delivered to the wrong address, but it was signed for and taken by someone named "IKO", which is definitely not my name/name on box! How can companies continue to use UPS when paid for merchandise can be signed for by anyone and stolen?! Never trust UPS with your packages. When I requested that the manager at UPS call me regarding the issue I received a call from Sheniel, who was not helpful, rude, and not the least empathetic. When I asked what UPS' policy was in dealing with these issues she said it was "on me to figure it out".

    I sent two packages of breast milk within days of each other to my newborn while I'm away on business. They broke open the breast milk on the 1st package and blamed me for it saying that it wasn't packs properly when it was sealed and inspected at their store. Then I paid extra for the 2nd package to be sent 2 day air (this was before I knew they had destroyed my 1st package) and it still did not get delivered on time and then they said it will take 2 billing cycles for me to get my money back. They have horrible customer service; their supervisors are rude, dismissive and condescending. The worst part is that they will not claim responsibility for the damage or not delivering it on time but they also can't tell me why this happened. DON'T EVER USE UPS!!!

    The big issue with UPS is the fact they will not stop at my apartment. It is a secured access building requiring a key but I have built a delivery box that they will not use. I'm have waited for the drivers to stop. Just to watch them drive right on by. Chasing them down seems to work sometimes if I want wait outside for a few hours in the snow and rain. I have started to have packages dropped off at the local UPS store which works most of the time. Today the driver forgot to leave my package. He dropped of the rest of the delivery at that store except mine. I called the customer service number. They assured me it was being taken care of. The driver was on his way back to the UPS store. That was 3 hours ago and it still hasn't arrived.

    I have to be at work at 630 pm with a 50 minute commute everyday. (5 16hr shifts). So the store pick up at 6 is mostly likely when the package is getting dropped off. I pay the extra money for quick shipping so I have the items before I leave for work. It is just frustrating dealing. I do what I can to make sure everything is right on my end. Yet they constantly make excuses for why they made mistakes. New driver is normally the one I hear the most. As many new drivers they seem to have the turn around rate is unreal.

    I ordered a baby swing from Walmart. When my tracking info was sent out I was keeping up with it. Thankfully the day of the delivery EVERYONE was home 4 adults 3 children and a dog that barks loud enough for all to hear her once my door bell rings. Anyways my package showed DELIVERED on Saturday August 12, 2017 at 11:53 am... no doorbell was rung no nothing. They claimed to have left my package at the front door. How could you leave it without ringing the door bell. I looked outside at about 12:30 when my mail man got here and there was no package there.

    UPS is gonna tell me that I can call Walmart and request a replacement. EXCUSE ME they didn't lose my package you did. Either your stupid driver can't read an address and took it somewhere else or because his lack of sense and didn't ring my doorbell result in theft. Either way I hate UPS because this isn't the 1st or 2nd time this is happening and nothing became of it. I would rather ship my items with FedEx or do store pick up but UPS is a bunch of crap.

    I didn't know that the driver didn't have to knock on my door and just leave a $300 package at my door. Thought if you told them to they supposed to. But I let the chopper know now. I guess that me having a UPS choice acct they could leave but the driver DIDN'T EVEN KNOCK AT ALL. I WAS HOME AND ONCE I GOT AN EMAIL CONFIRMATION I checked inner was gone. So how long does it take for a driver to send an email?

    So now it's my fault. I guess that the driver didn't knock to just to see if there was someone home. But nope. They never. I was home. I am so pissed. FEDEX ain't like this. They come back. But having a UPS choice I didn't have a choice. I guess I am pissed that was my kids' gifts. I bought them $300 worth. Now I am out on everything. I wish this gets resolved. Please someone help me!

    This is second time I had to cancel my purchase because UPS couldn't deliver the package. The problem is that UPS left hand know what your right hand does. I have UPS office next to my house yet they manage to ship my package to the office 25 miles away from home. When their driver, as dumb as the company themselves can't find the address they harass me with phone calls and post cards to pick up the package. It would cost me half a day with traffic. Their customers service are like trained robots, take notes, listen and all they can do is ask the same questions over and over.

    On Friday afternoon, I could not wait past 2:30 for my package so I went to work. At 3:30, I happened to check my email and found a notice that there was an exception at 2:04 that my address was incomplete. I called customer service (???) as soon as I was able and the person on the phone verified that the shipping address did include the apartment number and the driver must not have seen it. (Isn't that his job?) So I now have to wait another 11 hour day on Monday.

    I asked if I might be able to pick it up somewhere on Saturday but was told that there is nowhere open on weekend. On Sunday morning I get an email telling me that package will be delivered any time up until 7:00. I went online to see where pickup locations are. Apparently if you try to look for information, your delivery is automatically changed with no way to change it back. It also changed the date to Tuesday. I called several times, to try to change it back and no one could (or would) help me. My experience is so bad that I will not make an online purchase if this crappy company handles the shipping.

    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!

    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.

    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.

The reason I am writing this is because this isn't the first time I have dealt with their nonsense and total lack of regard for the customer. I mean, the Canadian postal service is friendlier and they don't technically have to be nice to you. I will never order anything important if the only option is UPS which in Canada really hinders your options.

    I had to get my package today and it was really important but I didn't. Even though I was home today and didn't go to work, the carrier didn't bring my package. They said there was a delivery attempt at 4:02 but no one rang my doorbell. Why??? UPS is a terrible carrier because they are too lazy and they are not good at what they are supposed to do. I wouldn't even give UPS that 1 star.

    UPS has always done the job for us. Unless you are very good at packing, (double boxing, etc), let them pack for you. If something happens to your package & they have packed it, they will file the claim & their insurance company will pay very promptly. Otherwise, your claim might be delayed or denied.

    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.

Fee for accessing account on the internet, residential fee, rural surcharge, and fuel surcharge, No surcharge via USPS. I go out of my way to ship other than UPS, but unfortunately one of my vendors made the mistake of shipping a box UPS. The order total was only $75.10 but shipping was $78.02. Since shipping is not calculated until the parcel is shipped, I was not aware of the shipping cost until I noticed I am now overdrawn in the checking account. How in the world can you justify this charge? Hell even Alaska shouldn't have been this much!

And the more I try to be flexible with UPS delivery person the more they won't come up the stairs and knock so I can get my important package.

    I don't understand how can they lie on their scanner system saying another attempt was made and no one was home when that didn't accrued at all. It’s their job to drop off and make deliveries on a timely manner whether they like it or not but to lie about such it’s beyond disturbing. Calling UPS hasn't help me one bit at all.

    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.

    I shipped a few packages from Fort Lauderdale to Columbia MD at the beginning of July. One of the package was my 50 inches tv. My wife bought it to me as a gift so it has special meaning to me. Before I brought the tv to UPS store, I used bubble wrap, foam and box from its original shipping package to reduce risk and also paid insurance coverage. 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. I'm still waiting for their reply regarding how they want to address this issue, but according to my experience so far, I doubt if the process will be easy.

    UPS? Horrible Company= Horrible Service? You guessed it! If you want delayed, damaged or lost goods, see them. They really don't give a flying fart.

I'm just another customer with a long history of bad experience with UPS. What I don't get is why would any company concerned about their PR wanting their product delivered in good condition in a timely fashion for repeat business from buyers- ever use UPS? Maybe they're just as irresponsible? Maybe switch your supplier too if you're a buyer seeking better service? Here's a comparison sample though. I ordered 2 parts same time from Summit Racing for a car. Fex delivered one in pristine condition next day. Still waiting several days later for the part from UPS. Does that tell you anything?

I received an email from Verizon with a UPS tracking number so that I was able to follow the progress of the delivery. A day later I noted from checking the tracking number at UPS.com that the package had arrived at the delivery location and was on a truck for delivery that day.

    At around 5:18 pm a ** UPS delivery van parked in front of my residence and after a less than a minute pulled away. I immediately went to the door and there was no package. Five minutes later I received another email from UPS indicating that a the package had been left at my front door at 5:19pm. I called UPS 800 number and told them that the package had not been delivered and telling them that a van had parked in front of my residence but drove off and asked why the driver would indicate that he had delivered a package that he obviously did not. I was informed that they would investigate and return my call within an hour. Someone from the local delivery station did return my call and stated that the driver had already gone home and that he would try to find out where he did leave my package the following day.

    My question to her was why the driver stated he delivered the package when clearly he did not, at which she became rather irritated. To protect my own interest I then visited my local Police dept and filed a report. I then called the UPS support number explaining my entire encounter to them at which time they indicated that they would open an investigation and that someone would call me the next morning. I specifically requested that I no longer wished to talk directly to anyone from the local delivery station in lieu of my previous conversation.

    The following day I received a call from a local number asking me explain the entire problem again. I told them that I already explained the problem a number of times and asked what the purpose of her call was at which point she told me have a nice day and hung up. Personally I would rather crawl on my hands and knees across the Mojave Desert to deliver a package than to ever use this company.

    I have now had several items arrive via UPS in damaged boxes, missing pieces that fell out, cut open (in one case slit open with an Exacto blade RIGHT THROUGH the notice on the box stating DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS). They were pillows, slit right through to the cloth. An air conditioner shipped for Sears had been dropped and cracked right through to the freon tubing, which failed. 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. They get worse every year.

    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?

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!

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 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.

    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.

    We spent $500 to send a very important package. The package required a signature. Unfortunately the recipient was not home. I redirected the package to a business address via the UPS portal prior to the final delivery attempt. I received a confirmation page that the package was successfully redirected. 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.

Come Thursday morning 7/6 we find out the carrier was delayed and my documents would not be delivered until 7/7/17, which was the day they were needed for court. Since it was supposed to be an early delivery I was concerned when I hadn't received my package by 8 am. When I called customer service I was told someone would call me back with an ETA.

    Long story short, this went on all day long, I went to court without my documents, had to get a continuance, which means hundreds more in attorney fees, AND come 7 pm when my documents STILL hadn't been delivered as promised, come to find out they were sitting at the local facility so I still had to drive to pick them up, or risk going through the same issue over and over come next week.

    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 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.

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 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.

Now I'll have to walk to a "package center" to pick it up myself during the summer in Arizona (115+ degrees). Not the first time this has happened.

    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.

    I have had the most horrifying experience with UPS. I ordered a phone from T-Mobile who was intended for my sister-in-law. She and my niece just got to this country and have no means of communication. She is now stationed in Rhode Island, which is where I told T-Mobile the phone should be sent to. They assured me her name did not have to be in the delivery and that they would overnight the phone to her. Once the delivery driver gets to my sister-in-law he proceeds to ID her and then did not hand the phone to her.

    When I called the UPS 1800 number that was provided to me the proceeded to tell me all sort of conflicting things: first they told me that the address was wrong (which is a lie, I knew the package got to my sister-in-law, it was just never given to her). I re-confirmed the address and told them this needed to be delivered the same day because the my sister-in-law had no way of communicating with me other than leaving her house and going to her mom's to call me, which having a daughter who is sick, was a huge inconvenience for her. They assured me that now they had added her name on the delivery and would attempt delivery that same night if possible but in the event they couldn't re-deliver they would ship it first thing next morning (bear in mind next morning happened to be a Saturday, however T-Mobile had placed an overnight shipment, so waiting another day was extremely inconvenient).

    Of course the delivery did not happen the same night. When I would go on the UPS website to check on the tracking status it said that the estimated delivery was Monday! Can you imagine the outrage??? A package that was paid for to be delivered on Friday would now be delivered on Monday because of the incompetence of someone. I called several times to the 1800 number, each time my hold was never less than 10 minutes, one time it went up to 25 minutes and my call got disconnected. I was lied to, not once, but three times (you see when I called this morning they assured me the package would be delivered today). The number I called is 800-742-5877.

    Your customer service is the worst. You are inconveniencing my family in ways I cannot even explain. Because of your lies I am now aggravated, and cannot get in touch with my sister in law whose daughter is sick, oh and neither of them speak English by the way, so they are counting on me to help them get around hospitals and speak to doctors. When I finally spoke to a supervisor she said "I'm going to be really honest with you, your package is in a trailer so it will only be delivered on Monday". So each time someone promised me the package would be delivered on Saturday they were always lying. Also, I gave them a star because the system will not allow me to give zero.

    The United Parcel Service (UPS) - Known for their on time superior performance has had a massive lapse in judgment and management in the Northeast that is impacting all heavy freight which borders on Fraud and Deceitful business practices and should be reported to the Attorney General if it is not corrected immediately. We can call them outright Liars on multiple fronts including in their e-commerce portraying locations of packages that are not real or accurate.

    We ordered a custom Made Frieze for a construction project with tight deadlines and liquidated damages. This product was coming form Florida. Upon completion it was shipped from West Palm Beach on late afternoon the 25th and arrived in Boston at the UPS Stoneham yard on the 28th of June. After four days of watching this on the online tracker and never being forwarded to our commercial offices I had called and enquired and was promised it would be shipped on Monday The 5th of June. Still no arrival and I called again and was told it would arrive on the 7th of June. Once again it never arrived. At this time the 800 call in number told me there are "system issues" in Stoneham and that they could not even reach out to the Stoneham office and have been told not to.

    I again proceeded to call Stoneham direct again. This time I was told, they are significantly understaffed and didn't even know if the product was even in the warehouse and they then promptly update the online tracker to say awaiting customer schedule delivery, which is a lie and fraud. They explained that they would search for the package and call me in the morning. The next day we received no calls and now the Stoneham direct calls all went to voice mail. On all of these occasions we offered to pick this package up with our own personnel and trucks. This was declined.

    It is now June 9th, we still have not received any calls despite being promised. I finally again called the Stoneham line direct and only could get voice mail on all lines. I called the 800 help line again and the shipper called their account executive in Florida, all promised calls back by 12:00 Noon. Again no call backs. I then proceeded to call every line and then pounded the zero line when miraculously I manipulated the phone to get me an inside line and very nice gentleman answered who was sent in from out of town to help with the effort of restoring service in Stoneham. He told me there were trailers in the yard that have been sitting since January still not unloaded nor the manifest checked. He told me it was a systemic mess and that they could never tell us when the product would be shipped or when I could expect it. He was very candid that the office has had a massive breakdown and it was understaffed and undermanned.

    Now this is not a third world nation and sits within 5 miles of Boston. It is a critical hub to the Northeast and the City of Boston. UPS is world renowned for its strategic management and shipping capabilities. But here in Stoneham a distribution center for a world class city and region has had a systemic problem that has prevented the delivery of thousands of packages, loss of property which has rippled and significantly impacted negatively through the businesses that depend on their service. This systemic issues has been going on since at least January 2017.

    There has been a major managerial collapse at every level through the Regional Manager and Regional Vice President who stood by and witnessed this as it was in decline yet did nothing to prevent it. UPS is trying to hiding behind this as scheduling issues with the customer and is defrauding us. These are also not weather delays; The weather has been fair in Boston with no snow or catastrophic events to stop delivery. It is late May early June.

    I ordered a camera for my daughter's birthday, I paid an extra $10 to have it shipped UPS instead of the postal service due to problems I've had in the past not receiving mail. First of all I took off work and stayed home all day to wait to the driver. The time frame they gave me was 1:45 pm to 5:45 pm, HA!!! Finally at 8 pm I get a text saying my package was delivered at 7:52, why it took 8 min to get a notification is beyond me. So I run outside and my box is sitting on my porch, not even sealed, nobody ever knocked on my door. I immediately called UPS and though the customer service representative was friendly she was of no help at all. I was told if something is missing I can file a claim but as far as making a complaint against this clearly incompetent driver she couldn't help me. Never again.

    I sent my package on 5/19/17 and it was to be delivered on 5/25/17. To say the least it was lost somewhere between Phoenix and Tucson. I put in a claim on the morning of 5/26/17. I have contacted UPS and get a different story every day. I am out $155.00 and they have done nothing but Jerk me around. Now I am being told that they tried to contact the UPS store that I shipped from and no one responded. So I just made another trip up there and now she has to send in another claim??? AND IT TAKES 24-48 HRS. Then the next fun thing is then I get to wait for another 10 business days for them to cut a check. Also when I dropped this package off I was never asked about adding extra insurance or what amount UPS covers so now they only cover $100.00 and the package was $154.95. So my good feelings about UPS have plummeted. USPS is looking good.

They don't knock anymore, just drop the packages and I live in an apartment complex. I checked tracking online several times and it always said that it was on the truck to be delivered. I called and talked to a live person once and was told the same thing. Eight PM got here so I went to live chat. I was told that they couldn't deliver it because the address was wrong. Such liars! I have lived here since 1989 so I know my address. I'm assuming they thought they might have to climb steps and just didn't want to. The post office does it. Anyhow, I don't live upstairs.

    Let's see... Last week, UPS manage to lose a 100 pound nightstand (yep, just totally lost it.) The following week, they managed to never deliver my headboard. They informed me THEY forgot my headboard at the warehouse and that's why it's delayed. But wait, here's the best part... I spent 1 and 1/2 hours on the phone with them to get a manager. The manager then told me that she guaranteed the item would be delivered the following day. I told her that's great but I needed more confirmation because I was supposed to be going out of town on business and would postpone my trip as long as I was guaranteed my item would be delivered the following day. Sure enough, I received a call that evening saying to "rest assured," the item would be delivered the following day.

    Well, as you might guess, today is that following day and NO headboard. Spent another 2 hours on hold to talk to a manager who sounded scared to death to tell me that the item was again delayed. Called Overstock.com, spent another hour plus on the phone with them. (They suck also) After all that? Just got told what I already knew. So, moral of the story is, no one cares, no UPS, not Overstock.com. Apparently, the only person who cares is me (cue small violin). Other moral of the story? I'm done with these awful companies. I'm going to do things the good ole fashioned way from now on. Drive to the store and pick up whatever I want.

    I shipped a vintage 1970 Schwinn Orange Krate bicycle using this franchise store ( #6731 Goshen Ave, Visalia, CA). I paid $22 extra for "professional" packaging, which was to include 2" of padding around the inside of the box, as well as the loose pieces to be secured together to prevent movement. My customer received the item, the box had been dropped several times, there was little to no padding placed around the inside of the box as promised by "Sammy" in the store, as well as the parts were not secured together whatsoever.

    The cost to "insure" the shipment would have been almost triple what the shipping cost of $179 was. "Sammy" assured us that it would be OK because he does this for a living and was the Go-To guy for packing and shipping the "heavy and weird" items, so insurance wasn't necessary, because he was a pro. "You have nothing to worry about" were his exact words! The fender of the bike was completely destroyed, as well as the paint on the frame has been scraped down to bare metal because the parts were all rubbing together loosely during transport.

    I filed a claim, only to find out THREE WEEKS LATER that it was denied because the owner, Oni, had submitted the claim using the felonious version of the events as told by her poorly trained employee, Sammy. I filed another complaint with the UPS Corporate division that oversees these franchises and am waiting for a response. DO NOT SHIP FROM HERE UNLESS YOU PACKAGE IT YOURSELF!! They will try every way they can to make excuses and blame the customer. I paid for a "professional" service, and because it was not done up to par, my item was destroyed, total value of $1200!!!

Saw her get out with a package, ring the doorbell and not wait long enough for the homeowner to answer the door. Again, she left with the package, not delivering it. When I called UPS to complain and request to have it redelivered that day, they told me I can pick it up at an Access Point. Really???

I had to borrow one from a neighbor and it got damaged and now I have to buy them a new one.

    The last yr UPS has really gone downhill with service, with pick-ups, deliveries and just overall service. We constantly get late or no deliveries by item, showing up at destination facility and is lost from there or tracking shows delivery attempt failed. (We have a waiver to always drop off at door no matter what) even when no signature required, bad weather or out for delivery and never shows up and shows up a week later or never. The worst I have requested a pick up for a return and they never show. I have to cancel and put in a second request and twice I lost the opportunity for a return to vendor because it was not picked up on time. So I pay for an item, return it and lose the full refund BECAUSE OF UPS. I don't know what is going on at UPS but I am glad I don't have stock in them.

    When I contacted the UPS 1-800 number, to inform them of their delivery mishap, I was told that my package had been returned to the sender. NICE! So, making inquiry as to the delivery process, and finding the delivery person totally at fault, I placed a complaint with UPS and then contacted the sender. Having to reorder the item, again, I'm not getting the exact same product I ordered the first time. Thanks UPS. Your business ethics are really lacking to say the less.

    I would strongly urge businesses not to use UPS as their courier option. It gives a bad impression of the company if goods arrive late with no proper notification or care. A customer is unlikely to buy from that business again and it was the courier's fault. UPS in my country Ireland do not cater to rural customers. They do not have a daily delivery service. A package I ordered recently went all over Ireland before eventually reaching me. No delivery notification. Other courier companies text or phone directly. I had a very difficult time getting in touch with customer care - which is a total misnomer. When I finally did they informed me that they had handed the parcel off to a local courier in my area and they had no further information of where my parcel was.

    I contacted the company I had ordered from and they sent me out a re-order free of charge but guess what? Even though I had warned them not to use UPS they did. The original package did arrive but now I am waiting for the other one which according to tracking information has also been sent all over Ireland. They really do not care about their customers and make it extremely difficult to lodge a complaint. UPS should pay attention to the amount of bad reviews they are getting.

    Already a proven class action lawsuit in Canada, UPS still uses overcharging without consent for brokerage. I have emailed UPS and given them information to not use their brokers, however they still use UPS brokerage service. The last time they said it was because I did not include all my aliases - Although my name was on the package it was preceded by the word Mr. and was no one of the names on account. They went on to confirm that Mr without the . would be another alias and had to be entered into their database as a separate name... And so it goes on. I had $60 of brokerage on one package from the US. My broker would have cleared the same package for $7.

    Another time the UPS said they tried to contact my broker. However they were unable to contact them, even though they had their email. As a result they went with UPS brokerage at a much higher price. The other issue I have is pre-paying for a door to door delivery service and then having UPS deliver it to a depot 41 km away for pick up. UPS has never been able to deliver to my door, and has never attempted to do so. I was told last time the subcontractor hired to deliver the package does not deliver in my area, and I would have to drive 42 km to the depot to collect it.

Recently I arrived home from 3 days driving to find a barricade of large heavy boxes full of furniture stacked as tall as I am right in front of the only exteriorly accessible door to my home. The name and address are not mine but the street number is dead on--only the street name is some distance from here.

    Did UPS send a truck right out to move these things off my property and allow me into my own home? NO. They were hostile, belligerent, and put me on hold for a very long time. Never mind that the driver crossed a no trespassing/local delivery only sign twice, used my driveway for turnaround despite posted "no trucks" at the entrance to the driveway due to damage they cause to pavement, and none of this prompted them to double check the address or respect the sign and walk to the door to verify before delivering. This comprises dumping on my property.

    Had I been inside and needed to leave, I could not have left my home without climbing over the boxes; really great in a fire or other emergency. I am now storing these goods in my garage. They are in the way. The company is inaccessible. It's about $1,500+ worth of goods and they could care less while someone is wondering where their stuff is. Time to deep six the guys in brown. They (and FedEx) only care about express service and sub everything else out. And FYI, USPS can't get mail to the right address if their jobs depended on it, which apparently they don't anymore. Whatever happened to neither rain nor snow...

    Wow! I can't say enough bad things about this company. I've only been dealing with them for less than 3 months. I've had packages lost, left at the wrong address, left at an access point for my customer to pick-up, rude customer service and the list goes on. We ship packages on a daily basis and they refuse to help fix their issues in any way and we are a "Preferred Customer" so I can only imagine what the regular person has to go through. They may want to hire a better upper management team.

    Shipment was never received & UPS refuses to resolve the issue. They keep closing my case even though it's not resolved. I paid for overnight delivery & the driver claims it was left at my daughter's door which is impossible because she lives in an apartment complex on the 5th floor and she could not have had access to her door. I shipped it from a drop off location and the manager there said he could not believe how horrible UPS has been about this.

    Today, UPS did not deliver an urgent package. Instead, the driver lied and stated that I refused delivery (tracking #**). I was home all day and watched closely for the delivery. The last several shipments were the same problem but the excuse was "emergency or weather condition has delayed delivery" but there was no emergency or foul weather. Then the package was delivered to a store in town instead of to my home. (I had no association with that store). When I finally located where the package was, after multiple calls to the local facility and online contact with UPS via internet, I drove to town to retrieve the package and found that another package had been left there for a whole month without us knowing it!

    I have spoke with multiple UPS supervisors about this issue and it still has not been resolved. I am currently without phone service and am awaiting this package in order to restore our phone service. Is it legal for UPS to deliver our packages elsewhere without our knowledge? Also, as with each of these packages I provided easy two step directions to my home, both verbally and through UPS tracking. Thank you for your time in this matter.

    A package (documents - 1lb) sent to me were via 3-day select Lufkin, Texas to Salt Lake City. Did not honor the requested, and paid for delivery option (as referenced in the UPS provided tracking information). Per UPS tracking information, the package was received by UPS from the shipper on May 9th in Lufkin, Texas. On May 12th, I received notification that the package was still in Texas (Vernon, Texas) and that delivery to Salt Lake City would be May 16th. Following up with UPS customer support, I was informed that it was being delivered via truck to Salt Lake, thus the date of May 16th. When I asked them why it wasn't being sent via 3-day select as contracted and UPS documented, customer support could not provide an answer and didn't seem to really care that UPS had made an error. I am traveling and would be leaving Salt Lake before the 16th. This is why it was sent 3-day select in the first place.

    After several hours on the phone and subsequently having to escalate to a supervisor (I had to strongly insist this escalation over customer support objections saying that they could not do anything), I have been verbally assured that it will be re-directed to a location where I will be for a few days following May 16th, however no details have been provided to me. No apologies have been forthcoming from UPS and this has caused serious delays to me as the documents in the package are time sensitive. I had to pay for this 3-day select service ($30) to the shipper who I believe will be requesting a refund to my account with them.

    I have been using UPS for many years, with several deliveries a month. It was very difficult for me to get a live UPS customer support person on the telephone. The customer support telephone number provided on your web page is merely an automated attendant and did not allow the option to speak to a live person. I did eventually find a "back door" means to talk to a live person. Your UPS Chat Support was unavailable Friday early in the afternoon. Based on these experiences, it is obvious that UPS does not take your customer support function seriously. Moving ahead in the future, your lack of concern supports using FedEx.

    I ordered a toddler bed set from Amazon for my daughter and as usual the delivery process was the most irritating part of this transaction. I missed the first delivery attempt, the second time they must have just left a slip in the door and left because no one EVER rang the doorbell or knocked. For the 3rd attempt I had my husband stay home to make sure we did not miss it and sure enough I received an email (this time no slip at all) stating I missed another delivery.

    I called the 800 number to complain and see how they would be able to accommodate me, I was promised a call within 1 hour but nobody called. I decided to call them back 20 minutes past the time I was promised a call from the UPS Delivery Center and I still had to wait for them to call me back. After a total of 2 hours someone from the UPS Delivery Center called and said they would send the driver back with my packages. I was highly upset to be called downstairs when he arrived because they were just "passing by" and my husband had to carry a mattress and other items to the 4th floor because of their mishap.

On Monday I checked the UPS website and found the package was delivered to the UPS distribution center about an hour from my home but the package was being delivered to North Carolina for some reason. I called UPS and talk to a nice person for 38 minutes and she worked with the distribution center and said the package has been intercepted and it would be delivered on Tuesday 9 May 2017. Within 30 minutes I received two more phone calls confirming the address was correct in Tennessee and insuring the package would be deliver the next day.

    On Tuesday I again check the UPS website and found that the package had in fact not been intercepted but was sent to NC and that delivery would now be on Thursday 11 May. I again call the UPS service rep and they had no information on this and was unwilling to help to resolve the situation and said the package would be delivered on Thursday. On Wed, 10 May I again checked the UPS website, found the delivered now has been pushed out until Friday 12 May 2017. I have decided that it is a waste of time to call them again and will just have to wait for the incompetent people at UPS to figure this out. The best they can do now is take 7 days to complete a 2 day shipping requirement going from one state NC to a neighboring state of Tennessee.

    After one of these events they agreed to send a driver to fix their mistake within the hour. I went back to packing my orders enjoying the nice weather with the warehouse doors open. After 45 minutes I hear the truck coming. I watch as he drive by my warehouse. I go to the door shocked and amazed as I watch him drive by going the back out the way he came in. Drove by 3 cars in front of my warehouse doors wide open with me standing in it. When I called the hub back they said he could not find me. He drove by twice no more than 40 feet from me in broad daylight. The latest outrage is I shipped a package worth $400. They damage the package in transit and refuse to pay for it and I even paid the extra for the insurance. Worst yet they still charged me for the shipping.

There is always a delay for one reason or another and when you call to ask what they will do for you they tell you nothing. Next day air means next week, you pay $50 or more for a package to be delivered the next day and do not get it for a week. They seem to have lots of equipment issues. That cause late deliveries and tell you they cannot do anything about it and will NOT refund your money! Once you do get your package you are lucky if it is in good condition. I am pretty sure their employees kick the packages around and throw them onto the truck.

    Don't bother asking for a signature, that does not matter to them. They will leave your $2,000.00 package on your front door with no signature and if you call to say something, they will tell you, "Well luckily your package was still there."

    On April 20th, I received an email from UPS Quantum View about a package that was being delivered to me for a very valuable item. The package delivery required a signature in order for the delivery to be completed. The delivery date was set for April 25th, so I planned to take the day off of work in order to sign for the package and prevent the need to make a 20 mile trip to the distribution center to pick up my package in person.

    The day passed and no package was delivered. At around 5:40 PM I checked the UPS website for a delivery status and saw that the UPS driver indicated that the first delivery attempt had been made and that no one was home. I was furious because I was home and my doorbell had never rung and there was no door tag indicating the delivery attempt. The driver had gone to the wrong address!! My house number matches a house number of a house two blocks away with a different street name. NOTE: I had walked past the home with the same house number and sure enough, there was the delivery notice hanging on their door for my package.

    I called the customer service number to report this incident and after negotiating the horrible auto-attendant which makes you feel like an idiot for even thinking that UPS could be at fault, I managed to reach a UPS agent (working at a call center in the Philippines). I told the UPS agent what had happened and he was very sympathetic, I had also told the agent that there was no way I could take another day to sit around and wait for this delivery so I could sign for it. He told me that he would contact the distribution center and that should receive a call from them within an hour.

    After about an hour and a half and no call I called back in and reached another agent. He told me that the complaint was logged at 5:47 PM and that the distribution closed at 6:00 PM. He told me that I would receive a call in the morning. This did not improve my attitude about UPS after being told one thing and getting something different. The next morning at about 9:45 AM I had still not received a call from UPS so I called back in to see what was going on with my delivery. The agent I reached informed me that my package was put back on another truck and was out for delivery. Hello, is nobody listening!!!

    I had informed both agents the day before that I could not take another day off to sign for a package. I asked the agent that I was speaking with this next morning, does UPS expect me to drive 20 miles to pick up a package that they were paid to deliver, because of their screw up??? I told him that I wanted to speak to a supervisor. After being transferred to a supervisor and repeating my story, I was told that she would contact the distribution center and find out why I had not been called and that I would receive a call from the distribution. Two hours later, still no call, I check the status of my delivery and saw the message "package delivered". I was horrified, there was a very valuable item sitting on my front porch unattended!!!

    This is not the first time UPS has delivered or attempted to deliver a package to the wrong address for me and I am sure it won't be the last. What is really the point of this review is that when UPS does something wrong they are horrible at rectifying a problem when it has occurred. I don't think they care. In fairness, I have had problems with FEDEX delivering to the wrong address, the difference with FEDEX is that they will try to make a special delivery or they have multiple smaller distribution centers located around the city making it a much shorter drive to pick thing up in person.

    Received my boxes rearranged. One box was opened and repackaged. A missing item. I discovered a broken piece of the item. A few porcelain dolls were broken. A porcelain dish broken in three pieces. Do these people read. When it states on the box "handle with care, Fragile, and upright." That's exactly what it mean. Some items can never be replaced. A glass box for the porcelain dolls were broken. Does it mean anything when you pay insurance for protection of your items, but you don't get it. I'm disgusted. I'll never use UPS again. I'll use FedEX the next time. Hopefully, I won't have a similar complaint.

    Tonight, I contacted UPS via a chat function on its site about the fact my missing package showed it was delivered at the front desk and signed by Jones. I live in a house on a dead-end street nowhere near a hotel or motel. UPS' customer service person responded to my request/complaint. She told me that the package was properly delivered in spite of the fact I can prove my house doesn't have a front desk and no one named "Jones" lives with my husband, me, and our cats. There are no hotels or motels on my road. Next, she told me that I should call the hotels in the area to try to find my package. I was not about to contact the dozens of hotels in our town much less the thousands of hotels/motels in the metropolitan area.

    Think about it. If my package had been delivered properly, why would I have to call all the hotels in the area to find it? That was a very stupid suggestion. I told her, "No." Then she told me that this was actually a problem for my shipper and to let them take care of it. The shipper didn't lose it; UPS did. However, I had already done that but this is not the first time we've had UPS misdeliver packages and we are fed up with this nonsense. I wish I had a copy of that chat. Not surprisingly a copy of our chat has not arrived either. That chat is priceless in its abundance of bad customer service. Fortunately, the shipper is replacing my order but it's a shame any business has to suffer losses thanks to UPS' incompetence.

    UPS delivered a box containing dining room, chairs which are totally covered in fabric. They left the box in the driveway in the pouring rain. The box could not be seen from inside our house. Box discovered the next day and chairs are ruined.

    Ordered something online. Found out it was being delivered today, so I waited. Saw the truck drive by. Checked online and it said, "Delivered". I called the local UPS and of course she told me it was delivered. Told me to call the UPS 800 number in Georgia. So I did, and yes, she too told me it was delivered. Then she proceeded to tell me it was delivered to a different address. What's wrong with this picture?

    So I went to this delivery address, not knowing these people, and they were not home. Package was. So I knocked on a door across the street from that address to see if they knew these people, "not really", was his reply. So I told him and he said go ahead and he would back me up. I retrieved the package which was very long about 40" and about 8" in diameter. I showed him proof of my identity and how it matched the package. In a time where people get shot for looking a certain way, I have to track my purchase and take a risk. I have COPD, and can't walk too far. Time this ordeal was over, I was very out of breath.

    I responded to an advert on eBay. I bought a pair of top grade Bowers and Wilkins Hi Fi Speakers.They were hardly used and in mint condition. The seller lived in the Midlands near Rugby. A 5 Hour round trip by car. I decided to have them collected by courier. I wanted a proper professional organisation. I thought the Brown and Gold van of UPS was iconic and could be trusted. I opened an account and arranged for the speakers to be delivered to my home in Poole Dorset. On unpacking them I was devastated to discover that both were damaged. The front baffle on one was smashed and both of them had damage to the cabinets. There were broken bits of the baffle inside the packaging. It was clear that the damage had been done in transit. The packaging on the badly damaged unit had a huge dent in it clearly showing that care had not been taken in handling it.

    I reported the damage by calling the contact customer services number. I was told to replace the speakers in the original packaging and they would be collected by a driver for examination at the depot. This is the incomprehensible bit. I was told that the speakers would be returned to the seller and he would receive the compensation payment If it was decided that there was a case for recompense. I pointed out that I had paid for the speakers. I owned them. I had opened the UPS Account to have them shipped and I had paid for the shipping.They didn't listen. I was told that was the system and if I was to proceed I needed to follow the instructions. We repacked the speakers in the original packaging. That was not easy. We were excited when we received them and ripped open the boxes not realising we would need to re-use them.

    We told UPS that we could wait in for collection on Tuesday morning not Monday as we were both out all day. They called on Monday! Tuesday morning we waited in. I called them to ensure we were listed for a morning collection. They said it could be anytime during the day! The driver arrived in the morning shortly after we called them. Wonderful I thought but my joy was short lived. "Which one of these am I to take?" he asked. "Well both. They are a matched pair" was my reply. "I have only got a ticket for one" was the reply. After my nervous breakdown We explained what we had been instructed to do by the man on the Phone. He was a nice chap the driver and he said in view of the circumstances he would take them both. I am still wondering if I will ever see my money or those speakers ever again. I have phoned them repeatedly. I have sent emails and I am seething with frustration.

    If you buy anything on eBay make sure you go and collect it personally. I could have walked from Poole to Rugby and back in less time than I have spent on this issue. There is still the inspection result to await and then if they decide to compensate me. They are still as far as I am aware hell bent on sending it to the man I have paid. They are a complete shower and not to be trusted.

    To start with UPS was charged with delivering my medical supplies. They destroyed them to the point that I would have been embarrassed to deliver the package myself. It looks like the package was rammed by a forklift fork. That was bad enough. What was worse was the I suffer PTSD really bad and the delivery dude pounds on my door so hard that it makes me jump out of my skin. I call them and report the condition of the package and the method of delivery. I was told I would get a call before the end of business that day. When I did not get a call I called and was promised a call again. Not receiving that call I called again several days later and was again promised a call by 10 am Monday morning. That was Shandoa on Sunday evening. I never got the call again.

    I called and spoke to a supervisor who identified as Alex. He had the nerve to tell me that they will call me, but that they had tried. I told him that was a lie because I was home most of the time and I answer my phone when it rings. If they managed to call when I was not home they could have left a message. I got no such message. UPS has proven to me that they have liars who say anything to hang up. They do not do anything they claim. So sad. I plan to contact my pharmacy and request they don't use them or make special delivery practices so they don't hurt me anymore.

    I am livid right now. I had a package scheduled for delivery yesterday, which I didn't know, because the Best Buy tracking link didn't work. Even still, the door was being watched for multiple hours during the day, and the ten minutes when I walked away, that's when they tried and failed to deliver my package. I thought it would be delivered the next day (Saturday), but the next business day is actually Monday, so now I have to wait even longer for my package. I checked the tracking information since I finally realized the tracking info Best Buy gave me was for UPS's website (since the tracking info Best Buy provided me with was incorrect), and then I found out that it was left at a UPS access point. I thought, "Great! Today is Saturday, let me go pick up my package and then all will be right." Not so.

    The place wasn't open at half-past 5 on a Saturday. WTF, what kind of hours are these? What if I work on the weekdays and have to pick my package up on the weekend, this is incredibly inconvenient. I don't even know if they're open tomorrow because their hours were posted in Spanish, but not English. So I'm going to go tomorrow and they might not even be open, which means I'll waste even more time. Then on Monday, if no one is able to answer the door for me and sign for my package, I have to start this headache all over again. WHY!? Why can't you just leave my package at the door?! From now on, I'd rather pay extra shipping charges to avoid having UPS handle my packages.

    I am way passed angry! I have tracked my packages every single time and always stay home to wait for them! I've had so so many problems with UPS ripping my packages aka my property opened and stolen. I've have packages thrown on my sidewalk and busted while driver waves as he leaves! I have many more horror stories about UPS! What am I doing so wrong? I pay for my things and pay for shipping to receive my packages in a proper manner! Today, I've been waiting since 6:30 a.m. and my package was tracked from that time and it was only 10 mins away, yet I'm sitting here at 11:30 p.m. and watched the driver drive right by my house and looked right at me!!! What? I have my porch light on, lawn light on, front door open and I was standing on my front steps!!! I just stood there in disbelief while this idiot drives by me!!

    I have about 6 packages on that truck and I paid to have them delivered so why won't he deliver them?? "Lazy" and it's way too late to be delivering anyway! It's not even legal where I am!! I waited anyway because I tracked it and it said out for delivery. The driver did not need my signature to deliver either. So I called UPS and told them what happened and they said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, the faculty is closed to which he works from so you have to wait until Monday!" I said, "What? Come again? Did I just hear you say I have to wait for Monday?" She says, "Yes!" That's when I blew a gasket! How dare this company? How dare they? There is no way to contact the driver, no way to contact his employer, no way to track this truck that just drove by my home yet the faculty is closed. Putting the gun to my head because I feel so defeated living on this planet in 2017!

    I just can't take it anymore. What if my mother's heart medications were on that delivery and she needs to take that medication? This is unacceptable! I'm taking this a few steps higher than just leaving a review and being the 1000,000 customer to post one. I'm taking them to court. I've had enough and no one is doing a thing about this company and UPS must be held accountable for these horrible things they have been doing to us, not to mention two UPS drivers coming back and stealing my neighbor's packages that they just delivered ten mins before! I filmed this entire thing because I now record the ups drivers as they pull up because of how they have destroyed my packages/Property other times so I always do now so I have proof! I recommend every one to do this! You can't get anything done today without proof.

    I just got a notification at 11:46 p.m. while I', typing this and it says, wait for it... "Second attempt to deliver"!!! Lol am I in the twilight zone??? How did that happen when no one drove by? I'm sitting right in my front window! Ugh, I am so ** off!??? Ups should not have drivers blowing past anyone's house at midnight anyway! What is that? It's not the holiday season so... Huh? I hate hate hate UPS! I despise that company like no other! Please someone, anyone, do something about this! Another thing, a ups driver killed a family of baby birds on my sidewalk last year, 2016! Disgusting. They were flattened like little pancakes!!! I cried my eyes out!! This company needs to be accountable for all the bad they do. We as customers should never have to go through this, ever!

    UPS notifies me that they damaged my package while it was still in their warehouse and only part of it would be returned to me with the other to be discarded. Will not honor claim stating that packaging is insufficient. They have pulled this stunt in the past even after purchasing insurance still will not pay. How can UPS deny claims when they state that they were the ones to damage the item. Lost $186.00. Never again. Now it's FEDEX.

    On April 18, 2017 a box was delivered to my door on the stated Amazon arrival date for that particular item. However, there was nothing in the box and the bottom of the box was torn open with bubble wrap hanging out the bottom corner. The outside of the box was labeled with two large yellow labels stating "HEAVY. Handle with care". Upon reviewing my camera recording - I can see the delivery guy carrying the box; holding it by one corner, with one hand, with no effort at all. He dropped the package, rang the doorbell and then walked back to his truck. Clearly he saw the two yellow signs but ignored the warning.

    That was bad enough -- when I discovered the empty box I called UPS Customer Service line and reported what had taken place. I was told they would contact the local UPS office and report the incident and someone would call me back within 30 minutes to an hour. After waiting an hour and a half, I called UPS Customer Service again and repeated my dilemma. The young lady repeated the first message, that I would get a callback within 30 minutes to an hour. She also stated that I should contact Amazon. It is 3:40 pm on April 19, 2017 and I have not received a call from anyone at UPS. NOTE: I did contact Amazon and they were extremely friendly and helpful regarding my purchase. UPS failed terribly on delivery and customer service...

    I wouldn't recommend anybody to use UPS as I have been waiting for a collection two days and they never came. Every time I call I need to wait for a very slow machine and the advisors don't have information or have wrong information (that contradict from one to another), yesterday they told me that my collection was cancelled and today they told me that they came at 5 (and this is not true as I was here, but the window - a 5 hours window - they gave me, was until 3:00). I am very surprised a company so disorganise could become so big and of course, I wouldn't recommend anybody to use it if they value their time and don't want to be waiting for anything during days. I also would feel ashamed of working in a so incompetent environment.

    My package was delivered outside of my locked apartment building. The package was open and wet, as it was raining. Upon calling UPS, I received horrible and slow service from the Damages department. I was practically accused of filing a false claim even though I sent pictures. The name of the rudest woman that I spoke to was Jennifer. It has been two weeks since I reported this. I'm being told that since I sent my merchandise via The UPS Store, I have to contact the store because it isn't one with UPS. To sum it up, I have paid UPS a nice sum of money to lose half of my items and deliver the rest damaged. To top it off, I had to deal with rude customer service reps. I yet to know the outcome but it definitely isn't worth EVER using UPS again. EVER! I won't even purchase from companies that use UPS anymore.
