    UPS NEVER delivers my items on time. I have Amazon Prime... When UPS delivers, I usually end up very disappointed. Last time my box arrived open with pieces missing! Another time, they delivered a package to the wrong address in a whole different state! I would use USPS or FedEx over UPS any day. They are on time and I have not had a complaint with either of them yet. SHAPE UP UPS!

    A package that I shipped with overnight delivery was lost. My bad that I didn't verify the next day to see if it was delivered (that was overconfidence on my part). I followed up with UPS after a couple of days, then called them again. The packet has still not been found after more than a month. They do not have the courtesy to keep me updated. I filed a claim. The package was not too valuable as far as cost is concerned but just had an important document that had to be delivered ASAP.

    Let me start off by saying this company is a ** show. On Friday, January 6th, 2017 I had a package delivered to my apartment. I cleared my WHOLE DAY to wait for this package. It never came. I never got a call or notice saying it was attempted to be delivered, so I decided to wait until the following Monday to try again. I cleared my WHOLE schedule, once again to get this important package. I hand wrote 2 notes to put on the front and back doors of my apartment building for the driver to let them know I was home. The note included the name on the package, that I WAS HOME WAITING, and my phone number. I waited from 8 am to 3 pm for this package unable to go anywhere because I had no idea what time these imbeciles would come again.

    Around 3:30 I received an email stating my package was attempted to be delivered around noon. Now I worked for Amazon delivery therefore I know the driver is supposed to knock on the door, as well as call the customer if they do not have entrance to the building, which I got neither. No one decided to contact me at all. Nonetheless I made sure both entrances to the building were unlocked and my notes were still there. I then called customer service to explain my situation and how important this package was needed for the following day. My name and phone number was taken and I was assured I would get a call from the Shrewsbury facility where my package had been shipped out from.

    Well, 2 hours later I finally received a call stating that they would get ahold of the driver and have my package redelivered. I then got a call from Shrewsbury stating they could not redeliver my package. I called customer service again, at this point blood boiling and frustration through the roof. I spoke to 3 customer service representatives before being transferred to a "manager" who could not seem to help me either. Now, they want to tell me my only option is to drive 35 minutes from my house to pick up my package that I have already paid shipping and handling on because their baboon of an employee was too lazy to pick up the phone, follow protocol, dial 10 digits and tell me my package was trying to be delivered.

    Now being a former delivery driver for Amazon I have personally seen Supervisors drive their own personal vehicles to customers to make sure their packages were delivered on time, ESPECIALLY if it was for an important event. Now, as an unsatisfied customer none of these idiots did their job to fix my problem which was caused because one lazy employee couldn't spare the 5 extra seconds it takes to do their job correctly.

    Well this is the reason the post office is federally funded and employees need to take a test to work there, to avoid hiring incompetent people like these who I have painstakingly spent HOURS arguing with trying to get my package that I have paid for and have already cleared 2 days out of my schedule to wait for. I am utterly displeased with the service I have been given by UPS and I as an individual and taxpayer will not be using their services again. This is absolutely ridiculous, and none of the "managers" especially Jason, in Customer Service, in the company care about customer satisfaction. This company is such a disgrace.

    I ordered a package from a vitamin and supplements company. Having had stomach surgery I need supplements to maintain my health and not being a millionaire I try to get the most for my money by ordering timely bulk packages. Usually with about a week’s supply left I order new supplies. So I order my package expecting a bit of delay over the Christmas Holiday. But UPS says 2-5 business days I will have my order. 15 business days later I still do not have my order. UPS dropped it off at a local access point that shuttered its doors that day apparently and instead of actually taking responsibility and just replacing my order and next day shipping it to me this is their response. "We are going to open a case file. It will take eight business days". WTF! So eight more business days I have to wait so they can tell me that they can't get the package?

    At this point I am now 12 days without vitamins, supplements and protein powder. All of which I need to maintain my health. I can feel myself getting sick. I have lost weight and have constant headaches and pain now. And I have to wait another ten days until they admit fault? Sorry but I can't afford to spend another $500 on stuff because I am a disabled vet who lives on a fixed income and I just don't have cash to throw around. Point being I guess if you really need something and actually care when your package gets to you DO NOT USE UPS!

    Today, January 6, 2017 I left a package at my apartment door as directed by the seller to be picked up for return by UPS. I also left a note requesting a return receipt from the UPS driver. I saw the UPS driver park his truck in front of my building for a couple of minutes then drive off. Since this had happened before with this same UPS driver involving a pickup of an item I immediately called the apartment office which was his destination and requested that they inform him I needed a package to be picked up for return. The UPS driver never returned to pickup the parcel. When I called the apartment office to verify that they had relayed my message to the driver they told me they had, and that he told them that he had been to my address and did not see a package.

    I contacted UPS Customer Service and reported the incident. The UPS driver's supervisor got in touch with me and apologized for the failure to pick up the return and explained that the driver was not given the necessary labels to process the return and thought that he was missing a delivery parcel to my address. To this point, I had no complaint with the UPS incident reporting process. But to my surprise, I received an e-mail "Sorry We Missed You. We tried to deliver your package..." with a rescheduled date. Utter nonsense! I reported the pickup failure incident to the seller and submitted a rebuttal email to UPS. As a consumer, I have learned to follow-up delivery complaints with a report to the seller. Otherwise incidents of carrier failure can get hidden in misleading worded notices that go on the delivery record.

    Updated on 01/10/2017: After rescheduling one failed pickup by UPS the unimaginable has happened, the driver failed to pick up the package AGAIN. This started with my complaint to UPS on Friday, January 6, 2017 that their driver drove up to my apartment building, stopped briefly, and drove away. When I called my apartment complex office to track him and ask that he return to pick up my package, he told them he had been to my door and he did not see a package. He never came back.

    Long story short, a UPS supervisor ended up contacting me and apologizing that the driver realized he did not have the necessary labels to process my package for return. So the supervisor rescheduled the pickup for Monday, January 9, 2017. Today is early Tuesday January 10, 2017 and I am still waiting for that same pickup that did not happen yesterday, January 9th. According to my apartment complex office they got no UPS delivery service on Monday either.

    What has happened is a revelation about this carrier service. They fraudulently entered erroneous notes into the tracking record for the driver's failure to pick up my parcel as "we tried to deliver your package but missed you" on both occasions. This raises questions of fraud since each pickup attempt for this type of return is billable to the 3rd party payer. I inadvertently learned that my calls to UPS were being taken by a call center in The Philippines when I asked where they were located. Frustrating when you are dealing with a local delivery hub and driver. Bottom line for me is to keep the retailer apprised of the irregularities with UPS since they are the 3rd party payer for the service and this cost is ultimately absorbed by the consumer. I no longer see UPS as the brand they portray themselves to be. Extremely disappointed.

    I shipped a package in a box that wasn't the usual cardboard but it was strong enough to throw into my car so I thought it would be alright. WRONG. I shipped it the 19th before Christmas and the person at UPS said it would get there before Christmas so I didn't think twice about it after that feeling that it would get to my friend for Christmas. I got a call a week AFTER Christmas was over saying that not only had my package NOT even gotten there but they had just THROWN MY PACKAGE AWAY!!! Why wouldn't they just send it even if it was broken??? And why the call so late if it didn't even get to the destination??? I will never use UPS again. Horrible customer service agent just kept telling me since I didn't get insurance on it there's nothing I can do. Even if it was their mistake. TERRIBLE UPS!!!!

    On December 10, 2016 I shipped a 49" LG 4K Smart LED TV from the UPS store in Orlando, Florida to my home in Auburn Hills Michigan. It arrived at my home on December 16, 2016. When I open the package a I discovered the TV had been hit so hard on the edge of the package that it broke through the styrofoam packaging and crushed the edge of the TV. I put a value of $750.00 on the TV when I shipped it. The TV was in the original packaging and I added additional styrofoam to the front, back and sides. I asked the store clerk if additional packaging was needed. They said no, that they ship TVs in original packages all the time.

    When I filed a claim with the UPS Damage Group they asked for pictures of the damage, the packaging and the box. They sent me an email confirming they had received the pictures and notified the shipper of the results of their inspection. They will not discuss with me their finding. The store claims they never heard from UPS. When they looked into it they said the claim was denied because I did not allow them to inspect the package or send them pictures, which is a total lie. They will not allow me to contact the claims adjuster or speak with anyone in authority to resolve the matter. I have since sent pictures to the store and will take the package to a UPS facility for them to inspect the package further. I have spent thousands of dollars in shipping and receiving packages from UPS over the years. I can't believe I am being treated like this. After reading other reviews, it seems that is how UPS works.

    On Wednesday, 12/07/2016 at 2:30 PM, UPS driver got off his truck with 2 small packages for delivery to me. I was standing in my driveway as he got off the truck almost yelling "we got a problem" waiving some papers in the air. I ask "what is it?" He talks loudly again. "You got a problem. You told them I delivered 2 packages I handed you 3 packages." I explained to him I only received 2 packages from 1 company & 1 from another company and was supposed to get 3 from helmets and only got 2. I told him it said on the online notice 4 packages to be delivered and I only got 3. He said "then you got your packages and are trying to place false claims." He accused me of trying to scam UPS and from now on I'll have to go to Leominster (15 miles away) to pick up my packages from now on.

    During this conversation, he was trying to show me the paperwork of deliveries but couldn't find it. He was very agitated and he was raising his voice. He had placed my packages he brought this time on the ground just before we started talking just after he got off the truck when it was apparent he was not going to hear anything I had to say and I was not going to stand there listening to him insulting me and threatening me about no delivers. One of my packages needed to be signed for. I asked him for the machine so I could sign he tells me NO I have to go to Leominster to pick them up. I said "like hell you're here now just give me my packages." He said "NO." So I bent down to pick them up. He knocked me down and took one of the packages back.

    I followed him around his truck yelling "give me my package" and he kept saying NO. I would have to go to Leominster to get it. A car had stopped to watch this. My wife was in the driveway with one of her friends watching this all unfold. He saw them then shoved the Machine at me and said "fine sign for it." As he left he was yelling something I didn't quite hear. But at this point I can only imagine it was a threat. I went in my house and reported it to Customer service. I was supposed to get 2 packages yesterday 12/20/2016. The manager of the Leominster facility said there will be no more deliveries to my home ever! Why do I have to be punished for the actions of this guy. Having to drive 15 miles away 3-4 times a week. My services should be restored. I do have reasons for legal action with witnesses but am trying to resolve this peacefully. Also I have a heart condition.

    I have lived at the same address for 30+ years and out of all of that time UPS has had one driver that could find the place. I have to do 5 mile radius check on the neighbors to see if they have my packages. Don't they have GPS? Google? Or are the drivers just too lazy to deliver? I have a package out now and no idea of where it is. I suppose the one driver that was able to find me has gotten his GED and moved on to a better job. Tried to call the people yesterday and the phone rang twenty times with no answer, so I guess they don't have a message machine either. I buy stuff online a lot and I absolutely hate it when the seller ships UPS because I know it is going to be a pain.

    I had a package that needed to be delivered early in the morning to my daughter who is an attorney. The legal papers did not arrive on time. I called the next day to get a refund and after hours on the phone and getting passed to one foreign person after another I got them to agree that I was entitled to the refund. They said they could not issue and send to me because I did not have an account and would send it to the place that I sent it from. I sent the package from a hub and not a stand alone store which I told them but they did not understand. They told me this would take 15 days as this was the business cycle that they operated under. I went yesterday to pick up a check and the manager of the Hub said this is not how UPS operates.

    Called customer service and talked to several foreign agents. They had no record of my prior conversations and I was too late to get the refund. I am now waiting for a call back which I do not think I will ever get and have called several times only to talk to an answering machine. I am looking for other avenues to get resolutions for this problem. If you have any ideas I would like to hear them. I think I will send things another way from now on.

    Two months ago I purchased an historic item valued at $15,000. The shipper took it to a UPS Store and had it packaged there and insured for the full value from them. The item was picked up but never scanned. Though I was given a tracking number, it never worked, and for two days I kept calling UPS to see where the package was. They claimed it was not shipped!! From one of their own stores, packaged and shipped insured, and they say it never was shipped. I called and called and pestered and then, by some miracle, the tracking started working on the third day, and on the fourth, the package showed up.

    Fast forward to today. I am waiting on a bank document that was sent Priority Overnight on Friday. No delivery Monday due to holiday, and though guaranteed by Tuesday at 3pm, it never shows up. I look at the tracking this morning, and how it has been conveniently moved to Wednesday delivery-no explanation, and the person on the phone is as unhelpful as can be. How the ** does this company stay in business? Only because it competes with the USPS, which is worse, and Fedex which is way too expensive. Like another reviewer, I have boycotted USPS and now will do the same with UPS.

    For several years, I've noticed the overall decline in UPS service including, higher cost, horrible package handling, and SLOW delivery times. I have gone out of the way to order items from vendors that either offer alternative carriers or simply do not use UPS at all. FedEx ground residential delivery has become my top choice for years now. I have used them at five different residences in two states and the service has been consistently outstanding in every one of the aforementioned aspects. Ironically, FedEx is typically less expensive - my guess is that it's because their system is probably much more efficient. The fact that FedEx consistently delivers quicker, without issues, and at lower costs is proof.

Upon tracking it says my package was delivered on the 29th to my front door. It was not. I called UPS to find that I would not be notified until January 3rd to begin an investigation and that they are sorry.

    I first went to a UPS store to get details about why the package was undeliverable and returned to me. That particular store couldn't help me because that wasn't the store I originally used to send the package. This is a bad setup for UPS stores, not convenient to the customer. I was therefore given a UPS customer service number to call. The first time I called, the woman who answered tried to get me to go to the original UPS store that I sent the packages with. She eventually did her job and filed the claim that she was supposed to. Avoiding personal job responsibilities is TERRIBLE customer service. When she was done, she said that I would receive a call within 1 hour.

    The call didn't come within an hour. It came 3 hours later. Don't make a statement that you can't backup. I, in turn, called a 2nd time to follow-up. This woman was nicer and more direct about helping. She made the necessary documentations, but simply stated that the investigation was proceeding, so there was nothing to be done at the moment. When the customer service representative called back, they asked a few questions about the details and proceeded to talk. When she stopped, I asked a question, but she continued to talk (Again, not customer oriented. If you hear the customer talk, then stop and listen). I don't like to yell at all. She then tried to make it sound like I was rude for yelling. If I didn't yell, then she would have continued to talk without answering my question.

    She basically stated that UPS followed procedure to deliver the package, but they didn't even bother to leave a message when they called the recipient. This means they didn't even care about telling the recipient, so they left the package at the front desk without the recipient's knowledge. Their procedure allows UPS to not worry about the package and return the package to the sender after 5 days of sitting at the front desk. FYI, the recipient did not move and all the information matched properly. UPS gets the money without doing their best to provide a service. Serving customers can not be said as their primary priority.

The package arrived Friday morning in the Nashville, TN hub and was scanned in at 3:33 AM and was out for delivery that day. However, the day came and went and so did the weekend that they were not open to call Customer Service. So I called on the following Tuesday morning and they had no idea where the package was.

They tried to charge me $27.80 and it apparently didn't include tracking. When I said I would go to the post office instead (figure it's a $5 parcel at most), they decided that it was NOW only $8 instead of the $27.80, but said it wouldn't get there by Christmas (and it didn't).

    My ex-husband purchased 2 days air delivery $125 on December 21st for the presents to arrive on Saturday but that never happened. They got the presents today Tuesday December 26th. I spent the entire Saturday looking through my window waiting for a truck that never arrived. I finally called Saturday evening since in the tracking it said that arrived to Dallas on Friday night 11:00 pm to find out I was talking to someone in Guatemala. UPS' all American Company customer service is outside the US, who told me that there was no Saturday sticker on the box and therefore it will be delivery on Tuesday. Heartbroken I wrote a complaint to UPS who finally responded today Tuesday.

    The person I talked to in Dallas tried at least to help and understood but sent me to customer support, where Breanne from Arizona at 10:37 am Central time told me she was sorry but it was the store's fault and they have nothing to do with it, that I needed to contact the store and ask for a refund to them because they just contracted with the store but UPS actually doesn't own the store that individual businesses and they are not responsible for their mistakes. Well when my kid's father went to the store was relying on UPS' ALL global ALL American company reputation to trust the presents for his children not some Joe dude owner of the store. Therefore UPS is indeed responsible for the sadness in my children faces feeling their dad didn't give them any presents when in fact he did.

    Needless to say that I will NEVER EVER Again send anything anywhere with UPS. They are unreliable, and they won't take responsibility for anything happening in any other stores carrying on UPS on them. I asked for a headquarter's number, nobody I talked to in UPS seems to know that info. They don't provide last names or anything. They don't feel sorry for what happened and they refuse to refund the $125 service fee. They fail to provide. Shame on them for so many reasons, employing outside workers, taking jobs away from our country, unreliable, irresponsible and they plain and simple show no empathy. No consideration. No care for their customers, all they say "here is the number of the store. You call them. You deal with this." Their lack of support hurt almost as much as my children disappointment on Christmas eve.

    Next air delivery means next day. Called customer service, big joke, package in truck on the way. Waited all day. Called customer service again. Package in warehouse. Waiting for me to pick up. Overnight has turned into 6 days. I will not do business with any company that uses UPS. If you're a business that uses UPS you will be boycotted.

    I exited my building and see a missed delivery post as I shut the door behind me, only to find it was for me! I hadn't ordered anything so I wasn't expecting a delivery. Besides, I was in my unit the whole time and my bell was never rung. I phoned an agent and voiced my frustration with her. She typed a bunch of gibberish and assured me she requested a callback to me with options of re-delivery. I was at the gym and running errands with the phone on me the whole time, even periodically checking the display for good signal strength, etc. (I even avoided going underground in a subway.) Why is there another missed delivery note on my door when I get back home?

    I immediately come inside and speak to a supervisor, furious and dumbfounded at how a company can pay so little regard to instructions. (I specifically told the agent on the phone that I would be at the gym and not home for another delivery attempt.) Now I have to take my ** to the ghetto customer center and wait with 300 other people in line on Xmas eve! Great! Thanks UPS delivery carrier!

    Sent a package to family via 2-Day Shipping, paid high $$$ for the shipping fee and it's not delivered on the day it supposed had been delivered. Called customer service (which is a disgrace to an actual customer service), was put on hold twice so that the agents could call the "facility" just to not pick the phone back up, leaving me on hold for over 30 min each and then simply hanging up on me. At that point I was furious, because now I spent altogether nearly 2 hours on the phone for nothing, so I call again.

    Get some lady (always someone in another country, barely speaking any English) and she proceeds to tell me: "Oh well, it won't be delivered today, it might be tomorrow, since we are way too busy". Are you kidding me? If you too busy to do your job, then you shouldn't charge $$$ for a specific shipping day! I will NEVER spent a dime with UPS again! I have to add that this is not my first shipping experience that went sour using UPS. They are definitely not what they used to be. Seems as if their employees do not give a ** about doing their job properly. I wouldn't even give 1 star, but unfortunately I have to enter something.

    I ordered a product from Shutterfly 2 weeks before Christmas and I was not given the option to choose who shipped the package or else I would have chosen USPS - as I work for the company. First and foremost, it is important to mention, I have NEVER once written a review on a company, until today. I have never been so angry with a company and their customer service.

    UPS shipped my package VIA UPS innovations which means, UPS picks the package up from the shipper, they sort it, and then USPS does the dirty work and delivers it to your door step. Well in the transition from UPS to USPS, UPS lost my package. It was stopped at the Urbancrest, Ohio UPS plant for 10 days. I called UPS 1 (800) PICK UPS along with 3 other generic customer service numbers. All 3 of the representatives, I spoke to, all admitted that UPS lost the package and had no way of locating the package. They told me to contact the shipper, I asked to speak to a manager, I was denied, I asked to speak to someone in the US, I was denied.

    I finally got in touch with the Urbancrest, Ohio location directly who were the only people that were remotely helpful. However, the person who "tracks down lost packages" was out on vacation until after the holidays. UPS also stated that the shipper would have to pay to replace the package that was lost, even though they admitted that they were the one who lost it.

    I took two folding commemorative sports chairs to the UPS office in Toronto to be shipped to the UK. One young kid in the shop said he couldn't pack it for me till later that day which was no good as I was flying to the USA at lunchtime but he said he could sell me the box etc and I could wrap it myself. He weighed the chairs and box and quoted me a price and left me to pack it myself in the middle of the store. An hour later I had it done and he weighed it again - this time the price was almost double but by this time I was out of options to paid the exorbitant price. He filled in the customs form which said they chairs were a freebie so had no value.

    A few days later when I was home in the UK I got a phone call from UPS UK asking about the contents of the box and the customs form and I told her exactly what I had told the kid in Toronto. Two days later UPS knock on the door and want 75 quid customs duty. Obviously I had to pay it, but I got in touch with UPS explained the problem and they told me to contact the Toronto store, which I did. A week later they sent an email saying the customs form had been incorrectly filled in and if I sent them proof of charges they would refund me the money. I did this, and since then have heard nothing from either UPS London or UPS Toronto.

    As a senior citizen I not only found the lack of packaging help initially far from good customer service but also the fact that the price almost doubled because - as I found out later - it is not only the weight but the size of the package. If the kid in Toronto had told me this I would have tried to make the box smaller. So all in all I have to say I found the whole UPS experience an absolute pain, and I am still waiting for someone, somewhere - ANYWHERE - to sort out this mess. Would I use them again? Don't make me laugh.

    Update on 01/02/2017: Having finally got a reply from both the UPS branch in Toronto and someone in customer services, The shop offered to refund 70 percent of the customs charges - great. BUT they demanded that I put my bank details in an email to them so they could do an international transfer. Now anyone will tell you that the first rule of online security is you never ever put your details in an email - so I asked for a refund on my credit card that I used to pay for the shipping. The reply is that their credit card machine will not let them do that!!! So now I am trying to think of another way of getting my refund - so far without any luck. The UPS customer service department in Canada has been very quiet regarding this. My advice to UPS Canada is to get their stores in order, because their excuses for both bad store service and even worse online service is pathetic.

    Ordered two identical items from the same company at the same time. Received shipping info on the first one the following day, second one the following day after that. First one was scheduled to be delivered on the 23rd and second was scheduled to be delivered on the 20th. Thought that was kinda weird but just assumed it was from two different warehouses. Received package number two on the correct date, checked tracking on package one and it now says "Shipping info not available. Try again later." Called the 1-800 number on the bottom of the page and I'm told the item "has been lost somehow". Agent confirmed the package was last scanned on 12/16 in California and hasn't been seen since.

    Ok first red flag, it's Christmas time and you have a package on a truck on the 16th and now it's gone but nobody notices by the 21st??? The agent's response is they have no way of knowing if it's missing. Transfers me to Oliver ** who claims to be a supervisor. "Oliver" tells me he can open up an investigation but it takes 1-8 business days. Umm no. That's not gonna work. This is a Christmas present for my 11 year old daughter. Great. Let me tell my kid on Christmas "sorry your gift isn't here but UPS said they're sorry for your frustration". Sure she'll understand. After 30 minutes with "Oliver" he's somehow able to find it in the system and locate my package. Calls me an hour later and says "We found the package (now in lost and found). We're going to overnight it. You'll have it tomorrow."

    Get an update from UPS of a new tracking number, it shows the package is being returned to original shipper. Call the 800 number again and agent confirms that I'm not receiving the item. It's going back to the shipper. Call the number that "Oliver" left on my voicemail and am fortunate enough to talk to "Morgan **". She tells me that there's no way that anyone could access the account and tell me where the package was at because "Oliver" didn't do his job and note in their system that it was supposed to come to my address not the shipper. When asked why the agent at UPS told me her computer shows it returning to the shipper her response was "she's not a trained investigator". So the untrained agent can tell me more than the "trained investigator".

    Finally after 20 minutes of back and forth with this wonderful woman she says "I'll try something that may not work." She comes back and says "I was able to access the system and can verify it's coming to your address in North Carolina." Umm nooo. I live in Louisiana. She says "yeah that's what I meant." I asked her how she was able to verify that it is coming to me when five minutes ago she's saying there is no way that ANYBODY can access that info. Her response was "I don't know why you're upset. I did what you asked me to do." Yeah I'm a little upset because first I'm told it's lost, then it's found and going to be overnighted to me, then it's being returned to the shipper, then nobody knows where it is, now it's found again??? Surely I can't be the one that sounds a little fishy too. Either there's some funny business going on or they really are 100% incompetent. Either way I'll never trust this company to handle any kind of shipping for me again.

    I am so disillusioned with UPS. A simple delivery, from Phoenix Arizona to Laughlin, Nevada. Golf clubs shipped Monday, December 5, to arrive in Laughlin Wednesday, Dec. 7. This is less than a 4 hour drive by vehicle. UPS driver picks up golf clubs, has the printed tracking label, and advises that he will put the label on the case, so it will be affixed properly. UPS sends clubs to Bullhead City Arizona. Excellent, Clubs arrive Dec 6 in Bullhead; final destination is a 20 minute drive across the river. However, from that point on, this tragedy of errors and service is unbelievable.

    December 8 clubs have not arrived at the hotel, and UPS "is looking for them". Reason: they say they can't read the label... maybe we, the client, put the label on wrong... Three days later; they find the golf clubs in Massachusetts! Now the story is the label is illegible... and they will ship them back to Nevada. However, it will take them until December 19 to get them back to Laughlin Nevada; the day after our Director of Golf leaves Nevada. 12 day golf trip, without his golf clubs. Request to UPS: please expedite the shipping back to Nevada, so our Director of Golf can at least bring the clubs back to Vancouver Canada with him. Nope, no can do... The reason: the label says Laughlin Nevada! (Yep, that same one that is either lost, not properly affixed, or illegible!) So, clubs arrive back in Laughlin, the day after client leaves. UPS: "no problem - we will get them to you right away."

    Clubs get picked up December 19, back to Bullhead City, Arizona, back to Phoenix, Arizona. And now, on the way to Canada. That's Nice... from Phoenix to Vancouver BC, a direct flight, about 3.5 hours; final destination, about 20 minutes from the Vancouver, BC, Canada, Airport. Should be here in time for the Boxing Day tournament. One would think... but, no, UPS has a different understanding of geography. The golf clubs leave Phoenix and arrive in Ontario, California... where they are shipped to.. not straight up the west coast to Vancouver BC, but, clear across the country, to Fredericton New Brunswick.

    UPS - this is unacceptable service, what makes it even worse - no one at UPS cares - they have not apologized, taken any responsibility or even make an attempt at good customer relations. I can't imagine what condition these golf clubs will be in. While packed extremely well in a hard travel case, the golf clubs have now traveled about 6000 miles in 15 days... for what should have been a trip of less than 4 hours. UPS - unacceptable.

    UPS transfers packages to your local USPS location and has no way of tracking the package once they've thrown it over the fence to them. My package was sent by the shipper 10 days ago and UPS transferred to the local post office on 6 days ago and I still do not have the package. So now it is lost, I am out the money and item and time. I will tell every company to not use UPS or else I will not order from them. Customer service was of no help. UPS should have staff available to follow packages through from beginning to end but they say there is no way for them to do that. Bad business practice.

I had taken my packages in that I was sending four to be exact, I realized that I did not have the correct wallet, so I had to go home and get it. The man helping me was nice and said "I will put your packages aside and help you on return". When I returned 15 minutes later I walked in and maybe one other customer was there and employees one of them be the woman I am complaining about, she had auburn red hair glasses and it was in a ponytail in her 40s maybe. She was very rude to me obviously had no clue what I needed help with.

    After I told her, another employee said "oh I know where your packages are ma'am I will help you." He came around the register to pick up a package off the cart. In the meantime the woman employee goes behind the register he is helping me at to help another customer. The male employee helping me said " hey wait I am helping this young lady," and she said "well I didn't know, she confuses me". She proceeds over to another register with her customer and then proceeds talking about me with the other customer!!

    I have been in customer service for many years and that is no way to treat a customer!!! I told the nice young ** gentleman who was very good, that I did not appreciate her and how terrible her customer service skills are! This makes me never want to go to UPS and mail packages there again, plus it cost me $123.00 and some change to mail four boxes!! I do not have my order number with me.

    The last few years have seen a huge decline in the handling of packages across all delivery companies. It is getting really annoying to constantly have beat up packages delivered leaving you wondering if your item is intact. My most recent experience was ordering through Home Depot. I ordered a TV cabinet online and it was shipped via UPS to the store. When I picked it up, the box was heavily damaged from shipping. Unfortunately for me, two of the main parts had major damage. I now had to wait an additional two weeks for the company to send replacement parts. Again the packages showed up at my house beat up. Again, one of the parts had damage. Thankfully it's only cosmetic and I can use the cabinet, but when paying $600 for an item, you expect not to have to fix/hide damage.

    This isn't limited to UPS. Packages received from USPS and FedEx also typically arrive damaged. Generally people do not seem to take pride in their work anymore. It's just a paycheck and they don't care that someone has spent their hard earned money on what is in that package. God forbid you try to ship anything sentimental. Can we please rewind 20 years to when people had pride in their work and respected other's property?

    Package was not delivered because required signature, which was on a Thursday. Attempted delivery made again on Friday. Both attempted deliveries were at a ridiculous time, 11:30 a.m. Seriously? I have a job that I have to be at by 7 a.m., like most responsible people. They did not even bother to try a different delivery time. That was not my biggest issue. Called on Saturday to hold the packages at a UPS location, and specified THREE times to the person on the phone that I will be picking them up at the UPS location the following Monday. THREE TIMES!!! Monday comes around and I get an email that states that there was an attempted delivery at 11:30 a.m. I had specifically told them to hold the packages!!! I call UPS, and am told to wait an hour for a phone call that will tell me when I can pick up my package, because it on a truck somewhere. Never got the call.

    I call a second time and am told to wait 30 minutes because now my call is apparently more "urgent". More than thirty minutes pass and still no call. Finally a sane person answers the phone at UPS and opens a case that makes my package "extremely urgent". Told me to wait yet another hour for a phone call. Now it has been thirty minutes and still no call, but I'll wait the thirty minutes more. Somebody needs to send the management at UPS a dictionary because their definition of "urgent", and "customer service" is completely wrong.

Dec 12 I called Amazon again to have packages to be picked up. They are still on my porch today Dec13. I will continue to complain about this to all superiors at UPS. I work for Amazon customer service returns for 8 years now and I will be bringing this personal experience up at Amazon Corp. next week. This is a prime example of why Amazon will not be using UPS for Xmas deliveries next year and will soon be terminating all business with UPS.

After all this time they came back to tell me that they may deliver at 3 pm but not sure if that is possible.

    In the past two weeks I have had two packages that were "missing" meaning that they left the store and were in the hands of UPS but I never received them. The first package was missing for almost a week and UPS never even tried to contact me to let me know it was missing until I contacted them. The second package was stated as delivered and signed for which is a lie because I have everything delivered to my job and I was sitting at the front desk at the time it was so called delivered. UPS has not done anything about the problem and has stated to contact the shipper. Now my packages are gone and the items that I ordered are no longer in stock or on sale. Not very pleased at all.

    Whatever you do.... don't sign up for "My Choice UPS". This is a relatively new scam program by UPS to try and get you to spend more money for delivery of packages. While it can seem to have some benefits, UPS doesn't end up delivering on those promises. They are trying to sell you delivery times, vacation holds, etc etc... all for extra fees. Even if you do sign up... they don't end up being able to accomplish what they promise. They struggle just to get packages delivered... not a big fan due to their poor handling, delays, and snarky customer service. Unfortunately, until Amazon of someone else (maybe USPS) gets into decent competition, we are stuck with this crappy company.

    I bought an item on eBay, and the seller sent via UPS, no signature required. UPS status showed package processing started 11/22/2016 at Newark, DE. It arrived at UPS Commerce City, CO center on 11/26/2016. UPS status indicated attempted delivery on 12/01/2016, but package was NOT delivered. Reason: "The company name or receiver name is incorrect" -- then they changed it to "receiver has moved". (*NOTE: NO notice was left on any of the doors of attempted delivery -- they used to leave an "info notice" -- but no more).

    On 12/03/2016, UPS Status: "Delivery will be delayed by one day". On 12/05/2016, during daytime, I contacted UPS via chat, and I asked them what the ** was going on. They did not have a good excuse, but would reschedule delivery for 12/05/16. The online UPS status showed "out for delivery", so I waited up and stood vigil by the window until almost midnight -- NO UPS TRUCK AT ALL, day or night. On 12/06/2016, I contacted UPS again (by phone) and they said it would be re-scheduled for delivery on 12/06/2016. I again waited up till very late. STILL NO UPS TRUCK at all, day or night. I even put signs on all exterior doors, instructing the UPS driver to just leave the package (there was NO signature required). Still no package delivered.

    The saga continues. On 12/07/2016, with still no package, I called UPS again. They now classified status as "lost package". On 12/07/2016, UPS changed the status back to "receiver has moved" and the package is being "returned to sender" (Boy, that would be good name for a song!!!). Ironically, UPS then sent a notice via USPS to the exact same address that UPS would NOT delivery to, stating "receiver moved", and yes I did receive that notice via USPS. Can ANYONE see the UPS logic in this that USPS can deliver to the exact same address that UPS refuses to deliver to???

    What am I missing here with UPS refusing to deliver??? They no longer leave notices stuck on the door??? And on 12/09/2016, a UPS driver delivered a package to the exact same address, addressed to a person that has NEVER been here and left it on the doorstep??? Who is UPS outsourcing delivery to??? A bunch of morons??? After this experience and reading all the other almost exact complaints, I will never again use or recommend UPS unless absolutely necessary -- too many other better alternatives.

    We have been at the same address since 1999 and have had packages delivered by USPS, FedEx, UPS and others with no problems. Within the past six months or so UPS has either refused to deliver, or just returned the packages with absolutely NO notices left indicating "attempt to deliver". They have on record our phone numbers and email addresses, but no attempt was made by UPS of any delivery problems. So, UPS had the package for 3 (three) weeks and they basically refused to deliver it.

    So I made a purchase that was being shipped from Italy and the store uses Next Day Air Saver and UPS received the tracking information and was ready for the package on 12/8/16 at 6:13 p.m.. Now Friday 12/9/16 I was waiting pretty much all day for my package to arrive and never received it. Initially when checking the tracking it didn't show the estimated delivery date until I logged into My UPS and it said Friday 12/9/16 was the expected Delivery date. Now it Saturday the 10th and the tracking information hasn't been updated, it's still on the "label created stage" so what's up with that?

    Not cool to have your store pay for next day shipping on them and not receive your package. Like at least update the tracking information and let the customer know what's going on. This is just ridiculous and I've never had this problem with their competitor. UPS always lacks in tracking information updates. I'm not happy at all and even though I got the Next Day Air Saver as a free option because the store was offering it it's the principle of UPS not following through on the guarantee.

I told the man that this is not fair as the shipping was paid by the supplier who provided the shipping label.

    UPS has stopped delivering packages to my house. Their system does not track. They claimed my UPS Choice preferences had been erased... When I checked, they were still there. Clearly there. There is no way to tell their system that you do not want packages delivered to an "Access Point". So, that's what they do, claiming that you are not home. Yesterday, I was home all day, writing. No driver came to my door. They lied about where the package was. I had to go to a mailbox store 2 miles away and stand in line to get my package. I complained to their phone line and then to the local office. No one will do anything.

    MY SUSPICION is that this is a PLOY to get us to join their "Prime" membership. I will not pay them extra to not hold my packages hostage. INSTEAD, I will ask each retailer from here on what carrier will deliver my package. If they say UPS, I will not place the order. I urge all retailers -- especially if you have a national reach -- to forgo using UPS. Maybe then they would decide to run their business right.

    Ordered a platform oak queen bed from Home Depot. It was shipped in 2 packages, 1 weighing 80lbs and one weighing 64lbs. Initial tracking showed scheduled for delivery 12/6 and Status "In transit" (which was defined as scheduled delivery between 9 am - 7pm). The UPS driver pulled up at 1155 am in front of house, then just drove off. I chased him down the street where he stopped and said he had my address but the packages were not on the truck. I called UPS and did not get a call back in the hour promised. I emailed UPS and did not get a response in the 4 hours promised. I live chatted and was finally told package was left behind because it would not fit on the truck because of volumes of xmas deliveries. I ordered this Nov 30 by the way. The chat help said it would be rescheduled for 12/7 end of day. I saw the UPS truck pull up across the street, nothing for me however.

    I had to use Live-chat again for help as the tracking continued to remain at "in Transit" at 630 PM. The help chat said again, due to volume it would be rescheduled for 12/8. Same story, 12/8 UPS stops again across the street 1150 am, nothing for me however. I received a 'auto response' to my emails that just stated, "Sorry for delay and because of delivery loads, keep using online tracking." So, again no show on 12/8. The tracking definition is the SAME exact Definition for "In Transit" and "Out for Delivery". Stating it has been processed for its final destination and scheduled for delivery between 9a - 7 pm and can run later. The status on my delivery NEVER changes from "In Transit" from Ontario Center NOR does it show Delayed and appears as if the "new" delivery date has always been the date as shown.

    So NOW the delivery date is supposed to be 12/9 and here I sit at 402 pm, UPS driver stopped this morning across the street but had no packages for MY address. I am sick of this waiting and wonder if the drivers are just too weak to lift the packages. I have been waiting on the porch for them to open my garage so they do not have to maneuver to the front door. I called Home Depot about my delivery 'problem' as well, since they PAY for shipping and are likely a HUGE UPS client, I hoped perhaps they might have better 'pull' in escalating my delivery to a supervisor at UPS, but they came back with the same answer and I know the Home Depot help went no further than to check UPS status website as well.

    I am highly frustrated and very upset at the lack of personal attention UPS gives its customers and can't seem to get a handle on where exactly the packages are and why they are being held up for such a long time. The work volumes are not going to get any lighter, as xmas is getting closer. I am tempted to cancel this entire order just out of sheer frustration of not getting anyone at a higher supervisory position to help me at UPS... It's all canned and scripted answers.

    I am a UPS "My Choice" customer. I ordered a computer from a company that used UPS so I used "My Choice" to schedule a drop off at a UPS Access Point facility because of signature being required. I also checked to receive notices through text. Not only did I not receive texts to inform me of delivery, but UPS delivered the package to my address. When I called UPS last night, I was THEN told that the Access Point location would not accept the package because it requires a signature (???) Well, even if it does, why can't the Access Point location hold it for me to sign??? I then stated I work full time and need the delivery around 6pm. Today, delivery attempted at 2:02pm. Called again and immediately asked for supervisor - took 19 minutes before one came on the line.

    Tried to change pick up to a UPS Store and did it before 7pm - which is supposedly one of the options on the back of their notice of delivery - couldn't do it online and asked why. The supervisor had no reasonable response except that I had to pick up in Rocklin if I miss the 3rd attempt - making my commute approximately 2 hours tomorrow evening. I then asked why my request for 6pm delivery was ignored and she said she would "try" to contact facility in Rocklin to attempt another delivery tonight - been waiting 20 minutes for her to return from hold (& HORRIBLE 70's instrumentals "music"/noise). I'm sure that's not going to happen either. And just confirmed it's not going to happen. Horrible service.

    UPS is possibly the most inflexible and inconvenient delivery service I have experienced. I signed up for My UPS so I could receive text messages regarding delivery updates, change delivery options etc. I entered our vacation dates on their scheduler so they knew not to deliver during that time, but they scheduled a delivery on one of those days anyway. When I changed the delivery date they charged me for the change. I waited the entire day on the new delivery date (I barely even went to the bathroom for fear I wouldn't be able to get to the door!) but they never came and never texted to say they wouldn't deliver.

    I called to change the delivery date again and complain about being charged, so they changed the delivery date and said they would waive the second charge for the change that I had to make due to their mistake. They then sent me a text saying they would deliver on the new date between 11:30 and 3:30 but the day has come and I have no text message to update me on the delivery. The online tracker now lists the time for delivery is "by end of day" (7:00 p.m. for residential addresses). When I called customer service the response was "sorry but it will come today by 7:00 p.m."; there was NO real information or concession for their mistakes.

    UPS only delivers Monday to Friday; if you must sign for your package they will only leave it for pick up at ONE outlet (which for me is not even close to being a convenient location). If your workplace does not accept personal packages for you or your neighbours work during the day you cannot use the option for another delivery address. Their "estimated delivery time" is irrelevant, since 11:30-3:30 actually means 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If they have missed a previous delivery due to their error they will not put your delivery on the top of their delivery list (early in the day) or even give you a smaller delivery time window.

    In my experience UPS does not do what it says it will do and does not give its customer service agents the authority or ability to make it right. I have put in a formal complaint with RBC Rewards since I find it difficult to believe RBC has never had negative feedback about UPS before; I have talked to others who have similar complaints about UPS. For me the lack of good service from UPS reflects poorly on RBC as well, and we will likely not redeem points with merchandise anymore simply because of the delivery method.

    For years, because UPS has not wanted to deliver packages down my sandy driveway they have delivered my packages to a company down the street. This wasn't a problem, although I began to get the feeling that they were getting annoyed at this process. I then began only having packages sent to my house on occasion. Then I ordered some Christmas items from Kohl's which was delivered in 4 different boxes. One the post office delivered. The others I waited for, and waited for. When 14 days since I made the purchase passed, I looked up the tracking and this is what it said: "Receiver to pick package up." Yet, nobody contacted me. The same day they posted a note that the package was undeliverable due to the incorrect address. They know my address as I recently saw a truck go down the road recently and it's on Google Maps.

    I contacted Kohl's and found out they'd been notified the packages were being sent back. When I called to complain, all they said was the sender needed to include a telephone number, nothing more. The least they could've done was sent a postcard, but to note in their records an implication that they had contacted me and I said I'd pick the package up was wrong. And to say the package isn't deliverable was wrong. FedEx doesn't have a problem finding my address. And I've even had prescriptions delivered by a very small express delivery company. My belief is that they just didn't want to deal with it so they sent it back and I am just angry. This is a stressful time of year and they just added to my stress and the stress of folks at Kohl's who are just trying to keep up with holiday shipments. From how on I'm going to request my deliveries be made by FedEx.

    I will never use the services of UPS again, and this is why. I was expecting a delivery for an order I placed with a company in California on December 2, 2016. The package was late in arriving, and when it finally arrived on December 5th it required a signature, which wasn't listed anywhere on the UPS tracking screen. Anyway I wasn't available for the first pick up as I am a school teacher and don't usually get home before 4, okay I had no issues with receiving the package on the following work day (Tuesday). So I had my mother come to my home to wait for the delivery on the following day, as I had to teach all day, and I needed to prepare for a business trip on the following day which would put me out of town for a week and unable to receive the package, which I needed for my trip.

    My mother waited all day for delivery, when I arrived at 4:30 to relieve my mother, I called UPS and was told the package was on the truck and would be delivered to me by 7:00 p.m. that evening. So I continued to wait, 8:00 pm I called again, they said "maybe the driver still has packages to deliver and he should be to you by 9. 9 turn into 9:30," this time when I called I received a recording that the delivery would occur on the next day when I'm out of town.

    I was livid in that on their document, which serves as a contract between the customer and the company, they've stated next day delivery, which didn't happen. As mentioned, I needed the item in the package for my business trip this morning, and all UPS customer service could say to me was "I'm sorry," not good enough. I gave them my work address to see if they could have it delivered before my plane departure this afternoon, the response was "this will take 48 hours for us tor re-route the package."

    Nice people... Yea right. They break stuff and don't care. If your package weighs too much they won't deliver it so you may as well just pick it up. Lazy scummy workers. People need work, fire those clowns.

    This Black Friday I had the misfortune of every single one of my packages being shipped via UPS. 4 out of the 7 packages have been delayed. Packages that were shipped from about 45 minutes from where I live have taken over 2 weeks to deliver, and I still haven't received them. Shame on websites that claim that 2-4 day shipping, then ship with UPS. It's a surefire way of your package coming in long over a week.

    UPS is the only delivery service that has completely lost my packages and refused to acknowledge their mistake. Instead, they make you circle around in an extremely complicated claims process where they'll repeatedly tell you that you can't do anything and that you need to contact the shipper because it's not UPS's responsibility. Then when you contact the shipper, they'll tell you that because UPS has the package, it's their responsibility. You'll be tangled into a web so complicated that you wish you could just light UPS on fire. If you can choose, do yourself a favor and choose FedEx, Amazon delivery, USPS, Ontrac, ANYONE EXCEPT UPS!!! Their pick up locations are extremely inconvenient, I didn't realize I was paying for shipping only for me to deliver my own package to myself.

    UPS is making it impossible for me to receive my packages. Unless I quit my job and sit at home all day waiting, I will not get them. I had several packages (which included Christmas gifts) that were to be held for pickup at a local UPS location. I used their online delivery change system to have them hold it at the location. I work FT so there is no way I can come pick it up right away. Some of my items were delivered to the location on Monday 11/28. They were marked "refused" and sent back to the shipper. I didn't even have a chance to come get them! I went on Friday 12/2 and they were gone. I was told the driver "decided to put the packages back on the truck and return them". Why he would do this is unfathomable. Some packages were delivered later in the week and I even received emails saying I had until 12/5 or 12/8 to come pick them up but they had already been shipped back.

    I emailed UPS customer service and they told me it shows that they were refused and returned to shipper within "hours". Hours? So I was expected to come pick up the packages as soon as they arrived? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of "hold for pickup"? It has turned into a nightmare for me because now with only a few weeks to Christmas, I'm finding that most if not all of the gifts I ordered online have been returned to the shipper without even being at the UPS location for a full day. It's like the UPS drivers and/or this UPS location are playing a cruel joke on everyone for Christmas. Or maybe it's just my location which is right by my house. I guess I'll have to drive farther to another location that's not as convenient.

    Customer service does not seem concerned, just telling me to call them if it happens again. OK, it cannot happen again. These are Christmas gifts. I'm going to run out of time and the shippers are going to run out of stock if they have to keep re-sending them to me (they have to go through the return process and make a new order). I asked them to contact this specific UPS location but they do not want to unless this happens again. They need to contact them now and tell them they are not allowed to mark a package as refused if it has been less than 5 days.

    My claimed was taken for granted. I didn't get any calls apologizing for punching my shipment and breaking my item in the shipment (got it on video). Over the years of using this company, I have had nothing but bad things happen one after another. I just don't have any more trust in them nor do I wish to have business with them. There has been plenty of times where I have caught the driver on my route to mess up my shipment, as in hit it with his fist in an intention to break my items. Just 3 days ago, my shipment was late, 2 days. I was supposed to get it on a Wednesday I end up getting my item till Saturday. I was told that it was a technical error. Customer service told me it was because of the flooding happening in the East Coast. And lastly the manager on duty at that time told me that Amazon had never sent the item. 3 stories 1 company.

    I have never used UPS before to ship my packages. This was the first time and I HATED it! I shipped with next day air service guaranteed by 10:30am and guess what - it's been 3 days and I don't know where my package is. Called customer service couple of times and they are bunch of lazy people to call. They won't even bother to find out where the package is. Those were really important documents and were suppose to get to a business by Thursday morning (I shipped on Wednesday). Now that it's Saturday no sign of my package. All it says is arrival scan (2 days ago in NY) and the expected delivery date is not available. You got to be kidding me! I have a flight to catch in couple of days and those documents were something that I need in order for me to travel. I shipped it with a return label but guess I would need to cancel that, ask the business that I sent my documents to, to ship me via FedEx only a biggggg ONLY if they will find my package.

    I am just freaking out. I should've gone with FedEx! UPS needs to be SHUT down seriously. All the customer service was offering me was a refund ($42). I don't need that. I need my damn documents. I paid that much so they can get it the next day. WTF UPS!!! Guess I will be calling them again tomorrow. Urrgghh. Ruined my entire weekend! So damn pissed!

    When I ordered from Amazon, I was forced to use UPS. I now always contact Amazon and ask for a different shipper every time. It is that bad, I recommend you do the same. I ordered 3 different packages. First one, I got an email from Amazon (not UPS of course) telling me they gave me a refund and the shipment I ordered would not be coming. Second one, they lost it and I had to contact Amazon for a refund. When I reordered, I made sure to ask for USPS or FedEx.

    This one I am still awaiting the results. It says it will be delayed but at least this time they told me it would and early, unlike the others which still say arriving at 8 PM and that was 3 hours ago. Website is trash.

    Has anyone actually received a package from UPS? I was trying to contact them for a week! 2-3 hour hold times. Must be a lot of people complaining. I finally get on the phone, and the rep rushes me off within 2 minutes. "Call the sender, sorry. Bye." I'm pretty sure I called the sender, which is why I'm calling you. Hello? What kind of disrespectful crap is that?

    Today is FRIDAY! I've been trying to contact them since Tuesday. I'll be on hold for 2-3 hours before the call drops. I'm very disappointed, and I cannot believe how hard it is to get in contact with them, and how easy it is to be dismissed. When I called the sender (the company I ordered a MATTRESS FROM), they said that the product was lost in transit. How do you lose a MATTRESS UPS? Oh, and they verified that the tracking number I had was indeed correct.

    I asked the company if they could change the delivery service, but unfortunately this is who they're contracted with. I even wrote a letter to this company suggesting them to change who they give business to. Guess I'll be on the floor for another month. TLDR: 3 days to contact them, 2-3 hour hold times. Rep was rude, and rushed me off the phone. LOST A MATTRESS.

    Three times in the last few months UPS has failed to live up to my expectations as a leading shipping provider for my business. The first instance we had a package overnighted to us from California and paid a hefty sum to do so. When it didn't arrive the next day we called to find out what was going on. After talking to several different customer service representatives we finally found out that our package was sent to Indianola, Iowa instead of Indianapolis, Indiana. The package was addressed properly when we finally received it, three days after it was supposed to be delivered. The second instance a package that was supposed to be delivered next day as well somehow didn't make it onto the truck that morning and we had to go pick it up at their main hub location.

    The third and most recent instance is still ongoing. We have a package out there somewhere that was supposed to be delivered yesterday. The package did not come. We just saw our UPS driver drive by our store without stopping, so we called to inquire what was going on. Apparently our package is missing and they have to do an investigation that takes up to 8 business days! In every one of these cases our business and customers have suffered because UPS can't deliver the packages on time. We do a lot of shipping and receiving and have never had a problem with either USPS or FedEx. UPS continues to disappoint and cost us money and frustration. If you have a business that requires timely and accurate shipping, do NOT go with UPS.

    Good service. I am, as many people, addicted to my online shopping. I've gotten to know the delivery man like most people know the mailman. What I like about UPS is you can create an online account and easily know where all your packages are at any given time. I've never had a package go missing like I had with the post office. Besides receiving, I also like to use UPS for all my sending. All who buy clothes online are familiar with the return process. Often these things are shipped in plastic bags that I rip off when opening, then regret and wish I had been more careful opening. No problem, my local UPS store has all the packaging and can recommend the containers and even pack for you. Plus you are usually not far from a UPS store.

    My situation happened in 2010 when I inherited a large valuable 60 year old Heriz rug my mom bought 20 years prior. My experience is still relevant. I took the rug to a UPS store and we packaged it in two ski boxes and taped it very securely. I shipped several other boxes that day and they arrived, beat up as expected, but I packed well knowing their reputation. I shipped even more via the post office and saved some money mailing things with more sentimental value. Little did I know I would be wishing I'd driven from So. CA to NH to collect this rug. I was Sorry.

    They discarded the box, apparently to prevent anyone from seeing it had been cut open. They supposedly investigated the driver, but if there was even a phone call made, it wasn't documented or even confirmed. It all sounded like they were giving me prerecorded answers. Talking to a person who had worked for them, he doubted anyone ever took one step to help and went further to say that customers only get compensation if they never stop and have their receipts. Sorry. I got a major run around and called all the lost package centers and every single person I spoke to in person or on the phone said the same thing. Sorry. That was it. No offer to help. Sorry. All very programmed. Again, Sorry.

    One thing everyone needs to know. In order to get compensation for any lost package, even if you've paid for insurance, you need to have the original receipt for everything. No receipt. Sorry. No exception. Sorry. If you ship something of value, you risk losing it. You will be Sorry. The company has a firewall around them. The UPS store is not to blame if a UPS driver steals your package. You have to sue the store, not UPS. Talk about a screw job if you own a store when UPS bought that chain. UPS is not Sorry.

    My recommendation is ship with the post office if possible. Or use a mover if you are shipping something large. Even Greyhound bus line can accept some big items and it gets there. I've never had huge issues with anyone but UPS. They take great care to prevent you from being compensated. The United Package Smashers Facebook page was even taken down. Don't want the masses coming together to figure out how to take them down. UPS is really not Sorry.

    Shipping cost was $143.45 plus cost of $22.45 for boxes. I got no refund. Sorry. Included the screen shot of scan of photo of the rug. Comparable rugs go for $5k as it was 60 years old and in exceptional condition. I have a handwritten note my mother wrote when her rug dealer friend came to do an informal appraisal, it reads 1940-50s Heriz Persian from N. Iran estimated at $2500 in 1982 or '84. That doesn't count as a receipt. Sorry. This all happened in 2010 and I spoke with half a dozen lawyers at the time and no one seemed interested. One mentioned having to pull together a class action suit in order to get anywhere. I won't live long enough to see that come to fruition. If I thought there was hope, I'd click the box to have a lawyer contact me. If I have one regret in life and this is it. Sorry.

    After dealing and having the worst experience with UPS today (11-25-16) I will not ever use or request their services again... I ordered 2 item online and had requested them to be shipped via UPS and got an email a few hours later with scheduled delivery date. On 11-23-16 only 1 package arrived, so I called UPS regarding the second package and was told that the package would be delivered 11-25-16 due to it being overlooked and not put on truck for delivery. So I said fine I'll wait, I'm gonna be home all day Friday. It works out... Wrong!!

    The package never arrived, instead I got an email stating that the delivery was rescheduled... No date?? So I called UPS to ask what was the hold up and was told the package was still at the warehouse and not in route as posted on the UPS tracking site. Ok... I asked if I could pick up my package instead of playing the waiting game with UPS, the rep said yes.

    After giving him my tracking number he said "let me put this request in and you will receive a call in a few minutes giving you a pick up time"... I got the call and was told to be there at 8:00 pm to pick up my package. After arriving and signing in at 8:12 pm and waited till 10:34... I was told the package was on the delivery truck and was not available for pick up until Monday.

    I asked why wasn't it delivered then?? Why was I told I could get it at the pick up location?? Why is the package being held until Monday?? After asking these questions the clerk looked at me and said "Have a good evening sir" and never answered my questions... Angry at this point and raising my voice because I was getting nowhere with him. I was asked by the Mesquite police officer on duty there to calm down and be respectful... even though every question I asked was answered with "Come Back Monday and ask the clerk working the counter, he or she can answer your questions".

    UPS delivered a package to my house on 8/9/16... didn't knock on the door and I was home! Allowed someone else to sign for my package and take it. On 8/18/16 I called to find out what was taking so long for my package to arrive. That's when I was told it had been signed for on 8/9/16. They opened a "investigation" that took ten business days.

    Mind you I had to call them to find out what they found out because no one ever called me from UPS to give me any info once the ten business days were up. I was told that because the store that shipped me the package had the UPS account they had to send the refund to the store and the store would then need to refund me. The store was perfectly fine with doing this once they received the refund from UPS. UPS told myself and the store manager that it can take up to a month for the refund to be applied to the stores UPS account.

    After a month the manager of the store called to find out where the refund was. This was when she was told that they were refusing to pay the claim, AFTER they reassured me 3 times and the store manager twice that the refund was coming it just "takes time to go through the process". UPS claims that they don't have to pay the claim because "it was delivered to the correct address" except it wasn't! If it was I'd have my package!

    From there I began dealing with a manager at the UPS store in our town. He let me know that what UPS is doing is illegal (his words) and that even if the package was delivered to the correct address they are still liable because the package was stolen (also his words). He however has not been able to get me my refund either! I have also been dealing with the police in this matter. We are now at a stand still because the UPS driver is refusing to cooperate with the police to identify who signed for the package. Did I mention this package cost $315 and was my birthday present. I can argue with UPS employees until I'm blue in the face trying to get them to comprehend that the package was not delivered to the correct address and they still insist that it was the correct address!

    Thanksgiving a time for family and feast unless you were unfortunate enough to have ordered your Thanksgiving dinner from Honeybaked Ham (HBH) with guaranteed delivered by United Parcel Service (UPS). Since my husband and I could not be in Tennessee for Thanksgiving, I ordered a $150.00 Honeybaked Ham Thanksgiving feast for my 84 and 86-year-old in-laws.

    I placed the order online on November 9 well in advance of the holiday so that hopefully nothing would go wrong. I scheduled the delivery for Tuesday, 11/22, so that just in case something did go wrong, they would at least receive their order by the next day, Wednesday, which would still be in time for their Thanksgiving dinner. We told them what all we had ordered and that there would be plenty of food so they could even invite neighbors for Thanksgiving dinner if they wanted. The order included a boneless ham and turkey combo (serves 4-6 each), a Festive Favorites combo including a sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, cornbread dressing, and gravy (enough to serve 12-16 according to HBH website), a whole pecan pie, and a combo of condiments.

    On Tuesday, 11/22, my mother-in-law called me to thank me for the pecan pie and condiments that had been delivered by UPS, but there was no ham, turkey, or Festive Favorites combo. I immediately called Honeybaked Ham. At first I was told that UPS had failed to pick up some orders on 11/21 and that sure enough, one of the orders left behind was my in-laws Thanksgiving dinner. They offered me a refund. Really?

    Then, after speaking with a manager, it was determined that although UPS had not originally picked up certain orders on time, they had been picked up a little bit later on the 21st, and UPS had guaranteed that all of the orders would be delivered either later that day on the 22nd, or by the end of the day on Wednesday the 23rd. No problem no worries. They were taking care of it and it was GUARANTEED for pre-Thanksgiving delivery by UPS. My in-laws were still going to love me when they received their HBH Thanksgiving dinner.

    On Wednesday the 23rd, around noon (in California where I live), I checked again with my in-laws, but still no delivery. I again tried tracking my delayed package through UPS website, but it still showed that the package had not been picked up from Honeybaked. Just to allay my fears, I called Honeybaked Ham customer service again and told them that the UPS website was still showing my package had not been picked up.

    HBH said that for some unknown reason, UPS was not updating the tracking info on the late picked up orders, but I was again reassured and told that UPS had picked up the 17-pound package and that UPS had guaranteed delivery by close of the day (Wednesday, Nov 23). I was also told that if my in-laws did not receive the order by 8:30 Central, that HBH customer service was open until 10:00 p.m. Eastern, so I could call and let them know although we both realized there was nothing that would be done at that time - except a refund. My in-laws still would have no Thanksgiving dinner as I had promised them.

    At about 6:30 p.m. California time (8:30 Central time/9:30 Eastern time), I called my little in-laws one more time to see if their dinner had been delivered. It had not. I then called HBH customer service at 6:50 p.m. (9:50 p.m. Eastern) again to let them know there had been no delivery, but HBH customer service was closed. They apparently were not open until 10:00 p.m. as I had been told. At 11:00 p.m. Central time, my elderly in-laws, who normally go to bed at 9:00 p.m., called to let me know they still had not received a delivery and they were going to turn off the porch light and go to bed.

    Today is Thanksgiving. My in-laws are sitting at home in a small town in Tennessee with few, if any, restaurants open. They will not be enjoying the Thanksgiving feast today that their daughter-in-law promised, and that Honeybaked Ham promised, and that United Parcel Service guaranteed. I will get a refund eventually, and HBH won't give it another thought. UPS has obviously already forgotten all about it. And after a while, my in-laws will have forgotten that Honeybaked Ham and UPS screwed up their Thanksgiving dinner, but it will ALWAYS be remembered that their daughter-in-law did not come through with her promise to them for a very Happy Thanksgiving Feast.

    Wouldn't it have been wonderful if either Honeybaked Ham or United Parcel Service had come through with their promises and guarantees? I would be a hero instead of a villain and so would HBH and UPS. Social media would have this story going viral all over the country by now about how these two conglomerate companies came together and saved a Thanksgiving Day feast for a little elderly couple in Tennessee.

    UPS is not reliable! I have a business account and depend on them to pick up deliveries daily. Their drivers are not dependable and report to UPS that they have picked up when they have not! UPS cannot account for the package because tracking does not begin until the package gets to the facility. They need to be accountable! So disappointing and frustrating after spending several hours on the phone three times in the past two months over this problem. I am going to cancel my account and go to FEDEX!!!

I live down a fairly long dirt driveway and new drivers frequently say that my address isn't valid even though I've been receiving my VA medications for four years. Also I was treated very rudely when the one driver killed my cat. The local station in Salinas CA insisted it wasn't their driver even though he was the only vehicle that drove down my driveway.

    There are unscrupulous people in this townhome complex that feel they are entitled to "leads" and that has involved harassing others who they don't want to be identified as the provider and want to be sure the other person knows not to mess with them. The carrier is happy to go along with this and have even them justify it by saying they are gathering information for law enforcement. Total garbage. This was my exchange with UPS chat today:

    Me: "Have asked you before and told carrier today, stop placing packages directly in front of door, seriously increases risk of theft. His response was totally inappropriate 'you either get it or you don't.' They should also not be placed at an angle to increase visibility. The post office has been doing things like this as well as delaying and not delivering mail, this was documented to the AG's office, you just need to deliver the packages." Rep: "I know how frustrating this incident must be on your part being a valued customer of UPS. Rest assured this is properly documented so that we can prevent things from happening again." Me: "I hope you will, we have a serious problem in the area with 'sh_t' and 't-taking'."

    I shipped a package from what I thought was UPS store... no their facility. UPS allows to ship their freight. Dropped off on Thursday noon, asking for arrival by Monday. Ground charge $27.00. I followed online their tracking site & Friday a.m. I saw the package was sorted wrong at Louisville, KY, their main sorting facility. I called Carb & was told that the package was corrected and would arrive on time Monday, & it would take a couple hrs to update online tracking. Monday came & no change. So I called again & was told this time that it wasn't corrected, & package was still going to arrive one day late. Now I cannot change appt package is needed for. Now UPS apologized and said I would receive a refund. So we waited till Tuesday for package to arrive, at 5:28 p.m., and called to get my refund.

    This is where I found out I have to call shipper to request a refund. UPS made the mistake, not the shipper who is not UPS corporate related. BS... UPS can ship a package overseas in 24 hrs, but can't give you an immediate refund. They make billions in revenue, have more planes than any two airlines worldwide, the best paid jobs in the world, but can't give you an immediate refund. I'll never use them again and will go out of my way sharing my experience with anyone who thinks USPS is not better. They are, and if this problem was with USPS, I could take my receipt to any post office for immediate refund. I did the research. By the way it's been over 3 weeks and I'm still waiting for my $27.00.

    If I could give 'zero stars' I would. I ordered perishable food for the holidays that was to be delivered on November 18th. When tracking the package UPS stated that the 'apartment number was wrong'. My house is very large and in a very well known neighborhood. Clearly, this was little more than a lazy, incompetent driver. The company stated the food would be spoiled due to the UPS delay so they sent a replacement via overnight delivery.

    You can imagine UPS now claims "Operational difficulties are preventing delivery" but they did state that at some point they would drop the package off in the nearest city. WOW. Very professional of them! In reviewing the first package UPS updated the tracking to say "The receiver refused delivery"... Clearly, I could not refuse if the package never made it to my house. Truly and unbelievably incompetent organization that must hire the dregs of society to staff their organization. They have no compunction about lying and misleading. Remember those commercials about "Big Brown"? They clearly are a giant, steaming, "Big Brown" pile... You get the point.

    So I work from Mon to Friday. Not only do I work from I do my work in the living room which is 3 ft away from the front door. Also there is a window that looks out into the driveway. So as I'm waiting for my tv I check the status around 3 pm 3:30. Says "nobody was home. Will attempt again" which is hilarious because my roommate was home from lunch at 2:30. A well I was on lunch from 2:05 to 2:35. Driver says she arrived at 2:36 pm. So you mean to tell me UPS has invisible drivers and invisible trucks? There was no "sorry we missed you note" or anything. As well as I'm not deaf or blind as my blinds were open. So how did I miss a big brown truck which I would be able to see from my living room window? And how did I miss a knock when I'm 3 ft from the door. So basically the driver lied. I called, argued with a rep and supervisor who swore up and down the driver came by.

    I advised them I work from home and had Chinese food delivered around the time the driver supposedly came by. So hear that driver knock 3 ft away from the door but not the UPS drivers? Then the supervisor says "well I'm doing you a favor by checking with the dispatcher to see if it can be delivered again." I stated "how you doing me a favor when your driver lied and didn't attempt to deliver the package?" Dispatcher called and said "well the GPS says she went to the home. I advised "just because she turned on a street doesn't mean she attempted to deliver." He put me on hold then hung up. Then I aired my issues out on social media. Got a response from the social team at UPS who stated if I emailed them they can resolve the issue. Or gave false hope they could get something done.

    They reps advised re-delivery on Mon which is unacceptable. If you mess my delivery up on Friday the expectation is for it to be delivered Saturday. So I send a email get a auto response saying their team is closed and they will get back to you Monday. What was the point of telling me to email if you can't resolve the issue sooner than what the re-delivery date is? Not only do I send a email I include proof that I was at home during the time. I sent a copy of my work schedule. So then I speak with them again on social media. They apologize and say the auto response was sent in error and someone will email me shortly personally. The person does email me stating they will get back to me on Monday again. But just in their own wording. I go back to the social media for UPS. And they apologize again and this time it's a different person responding saying she's on the 24/7 team and that she'll assist me.

    She ask for my email and I advise "if you can't resolve this and have this delivered Sat then there is no point." Give my email. Never got a response back. Spoke with a female supervisor who advised me the driver's name CoCoa. Why is a female named Cocoa delivering packages probably bigger then her. If I was a female on a Friday I'd probably lie and say no one was home either. So as if me working from home 3 ft from door from 10 to 6:30 pm wasn't enough, they tell me a chick named Cocoa was the driver. Obviously she lied and wanted to bypass this specific delivery. I call again, talk to my 3rd supervisor who advises me they don't do ground delivery on Sat. I state "that's not my issue. Your driver lied accept responsibility. And switch it to whatever type of delivery you need to switch it to to get my package delivered today."

    He puts me on hold for 15-20 minutes only to come back on the line saying "we can have it to by 10 am Monday." I advise "sir it was already expected and known that it better be here first thing in the morning. So why would you put me on hold for 20 mins and come back on the line and say it'll be there by 10 am like you worked some magic and made the situation better when it was already known it better be here by then." Advise "I'm taking the survey and good luck with those stats. Go ahead and disconnect the call so I can take the survey." Supervisor says "no" and refuses to hang up saying I can hang up so he could escape the survey. He left the line on because I told him "I had no problem watching the football game and playing watch dogs with you on speaker phone." He says "ok". Then 10 mins later he gives some poor attempt at closing the call. And finally hangs up.

    I have ordered a sim that was supposed to be delivered by Friday. Since the sender has given out incorrect information (Apt # 2 instead of Apt # 204), it could not be delivered on Friday. I understand that there was nothing wrong from UPS side. But the issue started here. I contacted customer representative Daniel via chat on Friday evening and I asked him to update my address and also said, "I am ready for store pick up because I needed the package." But since there was no store pick up for that particular office, I could not go on weekend to pick it up. Also, Daniel said, the package would be delivered by Tuesday.

    Weekend went and on Monday I was just checking the status of my package and I see that on Monday also, the package came and went back. If Daniel had updated last Friday, then it should have been delivered on Monday. So I again contacted CS (Iris) on Tuesday morning and asked the status. I asked him, if the address was updated. Iris replied, "Yes it is updated and the updated address is Apt # 2." This means the number has not been updated by Daniel and he has just made the status as updated. WOW! I asked Iris to correct the address again. He said, ok and confirmed that my issue is forwarded to the appropriate package facility for further assistance and will get a call in an hour for the same day delivery request. I did not a get any call from them.

    I waited for another day, Tuesday. Expecting to get a package in my mailbox. I did not see and came back and tracked my status. It shows up the same status. I really got so mad and contacted CS again. This time it was Erwin. I said him the whole scenario and asked him if I can wait by my mailbox and collect the package showing a valid proof of mine. I asked I am ready to go for store pick up and he confirmed that the package will be at the store next day for pick up for about a week. But, he asked me to check the status updated and then go for store pick up. When I saw the status next day I was shocked to see the arrogant attitude of UPS customer representatives, "The receiver states the product was not ordered and has refused the delivery. The package will be returned to the sender."

    My online merchant arranged for UPS to deliver an item to Singapore. When it arrived in Singapore, I received a call from UPS to pay for some goods & services tax before they can release my parcel. I explained to UPS that this item is not to be used in Singapore hence I requested to waive it for me. UPS then required the transshipment document details before the tax can be waived AND they informed that customer needs to do self-collection for the parcel. I was a bit shocked that courier company does not provide delivery to destination indicated per my initial instruction to my online merchant. But, I managed to persuade one of the UPS rep to do delivery for me once we clear the transshipment documentation as requested. I therefore linked my forwarding agent with UPS team to arrange the documentation. It was really a difficult process as it was my first time coordinating with UPS on such matter.

    I spent lots of my time talking to UPS to ensure everything worked fine. However, there was a time restraint that we needed to keep to and according to UPS it was a regulation. That aside, we also needed to accommodate to UPS's delivery schedule. As I recalled, we did get the documentation done but UPS told us their guys could not deliver due to the short notice!!! Then, I continued to work with UPS on our 2nd attempt to produce a new documentation since the first attempt failed. Soon I decided to give up and arranged for self-collection upon generation of the 2nd documentation when I heard I might be subject to storage cost if I continue to leave my parcel with UPS - this self-collection trip that came shortly after hearing about the possible storage fee cost me close to 100 bucks as charged by my forwarder!

    And to my shock, my forwarder informed me that UPS warehousing team had insisted on collecting additional 50 bucks for storage before they were willing to release my parcel. And that was all without my prior knowledge that I would be charged this unreasonable fee! After knowing this, I called them to express my unhappiness and the whole UPS team stood united against my complaint by simply emphasizing that they are not in the wrong!! I can't imagine how the service industry would be with such unprofessional service providers and company that condones their unprofessional conduct to exist. I hope for someone who could do the justice to appear and handle my case. Thanks.

The shipping we paid for was supposed to have our package arrive at our home in CA by end of day today 11/16/16. UPS is now telling us that even though they sorted it wrong, we have to contact the seller to have them overnight the package to us, otherwise it won't be delivered till next week.

    What's frustrating is UPS is refusing to take responsibility and intercept the package. They said we have to pay an extra fee to upgrade the package to ground shipping and maybe we will receive it by Friday. This is unacceptable. The people in receiving and sorting at UPS made a mistake, not us, not the shipper. Ultimately, UPS needs to credit us for the shipping we already paid for and upgrade to ground shipping on their own. For a corporation so large, to make such a terrible mistake, refuse to take responsibility, and refuse to get me my package on time.

    Good afternoon. I paid additional to have a very important package of documents sent by 2nd day air. The package never arrived on Tuesday 11/8 by 4:30 guaranteed as promised. I've been trying to get answers all day yesterday. I drove down to the Sharonville Ohio UPS facility to try to speak with Mary Beth ** loss coordinator, that she would be able to track my package better than the representative on the phone because she could see things into the destination that would be more accurate. I was told Mary Beth was not at the facility to speak with, that she was at a meeting. At that point I asked if there was anyone else I could speak to. The lady at the front told me that there was not, that my package was under investigation and there was nothing that they could do until they called me. I said, "I must speak to someone now. My package needs to be located before 7 o'clock tonight so I can get this rerouted through another carrier."

    The lady again told me that there was nothing she could do. At that point I stated, "I would like to stay here until I can speak to someone." The lady advised me that there was someone I could speak to and his name was Louis. She brought Louis out and he was security guard and he told me that I was ordered to leave the premises or he was going to call Sharonville police. I left the premises but very upset because the lady had spoken to on the phone told me that I needed to speak to Mary Beth and after numerous calls to her office because she was unavailable yesterday I was told she would be arriving back that evening. I felt that this was inappropriate to deceive me that I could speak to someone else and to send out a security guard.

    I felt like I was being treated like a criminal. When in fact I was looking for a very important package that have been missing for more than twenty-four hours and I wanted to make sure someone was trying to help me. Mary Beth reached out to me last night and told me again this morning that my package was put into a bag and that the entire bag is missing at the facility. She has several people looking for it but doesn't know if it was actually put onto a truck because none of the items in the big bag going to TX were scanned in. However, it may have been put onto a truck but that truck should have arrived at its destination by now so she felt it was in her facility. I asked if the entire bag had been stolen?

    She said she did not think so that she felt it could have been put into an area of empty bags or in a room somewhere. I have always believed UPS to be at the top of their industry for package delivery. I had no idea of the carelessness that occurs within the channels of communication within your company. I would like to speak to someone at corporate because the package that I sent was very important which is why I paid $35 to send my documents. I need answers and this is needs to be addressed today.

    I also have another issue. The person that took in my package at the UPS Store according to the manager wrote on the note that it was a box 4 by 4 by 4 which in fact it was a legal size UPS envelope weighing approximately 1 pound. There have been so much misinformation throughout this investigation that started Tuesday night that I am literally sick over all of the work that I've had to do to try to get information. Please help me find my package.

I listed the complex address correctly and I realized my mistake before they even attempted a delivery and called to specify which apartment they should deliver to. You would think it would be as simple as sending a notice to the driver, who would have to drive to the same place regardless just to find out they couldn't leave it there. Instead, they have to go through their automatic system that makes an address change delay the delivery until the next business day. In this case three days later. Now I don't have one of the gifts I was giving for my anniversary that is Saturday. USPS was able to change the address just fine.

    I ordered a case of wine and asked that it be shipped to my home, a condo complex due to the size and weight of the box. Our condos have a guard shack and 24-hour security. The guards always accept UPS, FedEx, and all other packages for us, and then we retrieve them when we are home. The UPS driver attempted delivery directly to my home early Wednesday afternoon. When I went online to track the order, I found out that UPS didn't bother delivering to our guard shack. Not sure the reason because all the guards are well over 21 years of age. I spoke with UPS customer service that evening, filled out the MyChoice form and requested that the box be left with the guard shack. Last night, I got home to find the driver pulled the same stunt and left a note saying another attempt would be made. By this time, I was furious.

    I called UPS again, and get this. They offered me three options: (1) drive 45 minutes and pick up the box myself (after paying a premium price for UPS to deliver) or (2) provide a different address and pay $6.00 charge to re-route the box or (3) let the driver continue to try and deliver to my home when I'm not there. I couldn't believe that the customer service rep was actually serious about charging me -- whether it's $6.00 or 6 cents, they should have waived the fee because it was their mistake. Out of desperation, I let them charge my credit card.

    When I got off the phone, I immediately contacted the vendor with which I'd done business and told them the whole story. The representative immediately credited my account for the $6.00 and was very apologetic. Now, I'd used UPS for many years for deliveries and had always bragged on the service I'd received. Unless I am contacted with a proper apology, I will NOT use UPS again. My preference would be FedEx going forward. I found it a true insult that UPS would be so bold as to charge me $6.00. First of all, if UPS had such great customer relations, they would have waived their original delivery fee and delivered my box for free. Well, I'm supposed to get my box at my office today, but I'm not holding my breath.

    I ordered some stuff from UrbanOG, I live in Toronto, and was charged an outrageous amount of money for shipping. I figured that as is the case with a lot of companies that I normally shop online with, that my stuff would be delivered to my regular mailbox like I'm used to with all my other online shopping and shipping. They went ahead and shipped my stuff with UPS (which was a surprise), UPS came to my house and told me that they wanted more money for 'duties'. After I calculated the cost of the goods and compared it with the shipping, I realized that I would be paying more than half of what the actual cost of the items were and so I declined the goods and asked them to send it back. They promised that they would; I notified UrbanOG that I declined the goods and asked for a refund once they got the stuff back. UrbanOG failed to notify me of any procedure.

    After a month or so of waiting for my refund, I called Urban for my money. The customer service was atrocious. They could not care less. They informed me that I did not have a say in who the shipper was and that they only used UPS. DO NOT SHIP WITH UPS. THEY ARE HIGHWAY ROBBERS. I called UPS to find out where the stuff was and UPS informed me that after a month, my stuff was in their discarded pile and they could not look for it. UrbanOG could not give a rat's ass and I ended up losing my money and the goods as well. UrbanOG has the worst customer service that you will ever find. They are rude and disgusting. Stay away from them and stay away from UPS.

    I was expecting 2 packages which were supposedly delivered yesterday. Today a neighbor from an apartment building across the street knocked on my door with the packages and told me he found them on the front steps. He even pointed out that my address was clearly marked and wondered why they put it on the apartment building steps. I called UPS and the "Customer Service" rep proceeded to try to blame me by questioning whether my house is clearly marked (yes, it is), that maybe I wasn't home and the neighbor agreed to take the package (no, he was as confused as I was), maybe the driver confused apartment buildings (I live in a single family, the apartment building is across the street), and so on. Finally, she said she would speak with the driver.

    At this point, I know what happened. The driver glanced at the address and threw it on the apartment building's front steps, not even caring. It could have easily been stolen. I wouldn't even be as upset as I am if it wasn't for the fact that we had a similar incident several years ago where a package was again placed to a different apartment building porch, at the opposite end of our street, and was stolen. I will NEVER use UPS again. They obviously don't care. I also called the companies that I ordered from and notified them about the negligent manner their products were delivered.

    I must warn any potential user of UPS that they are truly awful. Once something goes wrong their customer service is awful and it is intentionally designed and structured to make it impossible to learn anything about a lost package, the tracking number is a joke. I mailed an important package with UPS and all they could tell me was that it was picked up by their driver. Then it disappeared most likely stolen. Their entire customer service was a farce. DO NOT USE UPS. Try any other company. Not only are they unreliable but their customer service is designed to be a barrier to you getting anything resolved. It's not the agent. It's the system and the management. Their executive management must be incompetent.

I paid $60 to have this package overnighted. It then didn't show up until Monday and they refuse to refund the money that I paid, even stating that they physically cannot give refunds. It is a sad state of affairs when the US government runs a better business than an actual business. My company just switched out postage to UPS.

    This complaint is for UPS FREIGHT. I purchase two pallets every month and every month they deliver late or misplace my pallets. Today they deliver one and cant find the other. I called Yesterday to find out why they taking long and they said because they assume is a residency and they have to call to set up an appointment. I told them it is not a residence and its a company that opens from 8 to 5pm so they dont need appointment made and to note that down for everyone. STOP ASSUMING.

    Today I get one pallet and not the other when they are supose to get to the same place. Whats going on? I called the 1800 number and I speak to a Lisa then to Heidy then to Debbie who told me was a supervisor and her ext 234 (SHE LIED). Nobody knows who she is. She told me she cant find the pallet. I told her "Im one step from calling the police." She said "let me have your number and I will call you back." I asked "what time do you leave?" She said "I work late." Two hrs passed and she never called. I called back and offices were now closed. So I look up for the direct number to the Commerce Facility and I get to speak to Josh who is a "Supervisor". Told me there is no Debbie there.

    He looks for my pallet and tells me he has no answer for me as to why I havent received my pallet. But Andre the Inbound Operations Supervisor should be in tomorrow for me to speak with BUT IM STILL NOT GETTING MY MISSING PALLET TILL MAYBE MONDAY. I had sold the items of this missing pallet for this weekend and Im losing money. The Only Option Josh had for me was to pick it up myself. I told him "will you pay for the gas and the labor hrs for the people will send to pick it up and reimbursed me for what I paid YOU (UPS) to deliver my pallet and havent? He said (of course) NO.

    Just a couple weeks ago I ordered a package that was suppose to be delivered on 10/11. I check the tracking number and it said that a delivery was attempted to be made, which is not true. I was home all day, along with my father, and our front door was open all day. No one came by, there wasn't even a note on the door like they're suppose to leave.

    So I call UPS and they give me the runaround, saying no one was home (Which I told them wasn't true) and after hours of being on the phone with them, they told me it was at the Access Point store. 11/13 I call UPS (Because I still haven't received the package) and ask them about it. They said it was still at the Access Point store. I check that store after work, and they told me UPS picked it up the day before, 11/12. So they couldn't even tell me they picked it up!!

    Long story short, talk to a manager (who basically called me a liar, great Customer Service right there!) who said "Well our driver delivered 9 other packages in your area, it's funny how yours is missing." Excuse me? Demanded they deliver the next day, that someone WILL be home for the package. They actually delivered it!! 5 days later. (I forgot to mention I specifically requested that packages be delivered, be left on our porch if there was no answer at the door. Both my father and I were home each time they said they tried to deliver. ANNND the UPS Store was suppose to refund me the re-delivery fee (Seriously, for THEIR screw up?) but they never refunded it to me.

    Now for the second part. Order an expensive item for a birthday that was today 10/28. Paid 30$ for Expedited Shipping so it would arrive TODAY. Guess who screwed up again, UPS, even though I asked to not use that carrier. Although this time, my father was outside in the front yard doing yard work from 9AM to 4PM. Guess who lied again and said they attempted to deliver the package at 10AM? UPS again.

    Call them up to deal with their terrible customer service and incompetent drivers... To be told they won't re deliver it until Monday, which is the day it would have come had we not have paid the 30$ shipping. Call the company I bought the item from to complain about their carriers and paying a fee for nothing. Now just waiting for a call back from a manager regarding the delivery.

    I recently ordered a tablet and it was going to be delivered to my apartment because the store doesn't allow it to be picked up at a UPS store. My apartment building is a place that you need to Buzz to get in. The delivery person ended up leaving my package (the tablet) outside of the door to the BUILDING (NOT my apartment) where anyone could get a hold of it. My neighbor saw it and gave out to me when I got home. So called to complain about it last night and a woman (probably a supervisor) called me back this morning. She didn't even get my complaint right. After clarifying to her why I was upset she turned the blame on me and basically said it was my fault for not having special instructions for the package and it doesn't matter anyway because I got my package. Also that if the driver didn't think my package was safe he would not have left it.

    Then she had the nerve to tell me that if I didn't want this to happen in the future then I should sign up for their online service. I told her I didn't think they would just leave my package outside of the door to the building. In the past they would leave a note to reschedule a pick up and if I'm still not there they would tell me to pick it up at a UPS store, or they would at least get in the building and put the package in front of my apartment door. Long story short, I am never using UPS again. I would have felt a little better if they apologized and assured it wouldn't happen again, but to imply that it's my fault... I am so upset I literally just hung up on her.

When I call them about this statement, they said that they don't delivery around here and they can't tell the true about that. I can't understand why they pick up a package if they really know that they deliver it. The worst thing is they lie about the receiver request and make a statement that the receiver never made.

    I paid a premium for a Saturday delivery. In the UPS system, it says the package was delivered, but it was left with someone who does not work at this address (a hotel front desk), and it is not here. When I called UPS, their process prevents them from helping me locate the package, even by contacting the driver for details, until the shipper initiates action. But the shipper won't be available until Tuesday. I asked for an e-mail address from the service rep I was speaking with in order to send a complaint to UPS, and they refused to give one. They said the only way I can write a letter of any sort is a hard copy to their headquarters. These seem like the actions of a fly-by-night service, not a reputable international business.

While there are probably a lot of great things about them, the ways that they are deficient just really turn me off.

Or they will ring the door and take off as soon as they do, I have no time to answer. I may as well have shipped the item to the store I was ordering from.

    We belong to several wine clubs. In California, an adult signature is required to receive alcohol deliveries. In our area of L.A., UPS shipments are almost always a day or two later than predicted by their first automatic email, which is tolerable for most shipments, BUT NOT WINE. The wine is either held in a non-air conditioned warehouse (it gets hot here) or it rides around extra days in a bumpy truck (bottle shock).

    Recently, we arranged to be home on a Wednesday to receive a wine shipment, only to get the predictable email delaying delivery to Thursday. Since we were to leave on vacation early Thursday, we had several bad options: divert the shipment to someone else for $5, which we can't do, since all our neighbors work days, delay the shipment, which we can't do, since we were to be gone for a week, and they can't apparently delay that long, as well as it spending a week in a hot warehouse (and would cost us $5), or drive to the warehouse, a 45 minute drive to Sylmar.

    We refused the shipment. Returned to sender. We will probably drop this one wine club because they only ship using UPS. All our others use Fed Ex, which has a FREE diversion policy to a nearby FedEx Store. UPS will not divert to a UPS Store for unknown reasons. Lastly, in addition to a rigid, costly, inconvenient delivery philosophy, most damaged packages we've received over the years have been delivered via UPS. We live in the "UPS Bermuda Triangle" here in L.A. Not happy.

    Who would have thought that the owner of a franchise can just throw their "Closed" sign up any time and shut down shop? Not me! Yes you heard me correct, the owner of the Brantford, ON location closed his doors and went on vacation. The sad reality is, he was actually sitting in the office, visible to the public eye. I was expecting a package to arrive to this location to send home with my in-laws (from South America). I did my homework to figure out which postal service was opened Saturdays and came across UPS. I checked the UPS website, Google, and my pickup notification also said, "Pick up Saturday." Anyway, turns out this franchise was listed for sale and is in the process of changing hands. That does not however give the owner the right to close up shop and inconvenience everyone else. How about hire some staff?

    I was EXTREMELY mad that I found the posting for the franchise and contacted the number on there (thinking it would be the owner answering the phone). Better yet, it was the South Western regional manager who picked up the phone, Declan **. I explained my situation to him and apparently I was partial to blame for why this whole issue happened. Why a manager would blame a customer for this, I don't know. UPS obviously has a bad reputation, might have something to do with who they are hiring and their lack of customer service skills, and sense of urgency. He said, "The most you're going to get is a sorry." NICE!

    I guess the owner of the Brantford store is just going to get a slap on the wrist and carry on with his day. I suppose now it's my responsibility to pay $*** to now send this package to Venezuela as my in-laws have now returned home? Absolute garbage UPS!!!

No, they won't just give it to the far more capable post office.

Would I like to pick it up an hour away, where they're only open 9-4, an hour and a half away with the same hours, or two hours away where they're actually open in the evening?

    UPS has proved time and time again to be THE worst company for delivering packages or anything for that matter. Every time I have a package coming from UPS, I expect trouble. My predictions are always correct, and there is no use in contacting customer support as they are extremely useless and do not do anything to solve the issue at hand.

My only wish is that the CEO's and execs are too poor to even get a parachute so they can suffer from the faulty scam business they set up and maintained. There is no "help" at UPS, there is no "good" at UPS, there are only scummy deliveries. Thankfully I order 99% of my product from Amazon, and it always arrives on time. If it doesn't, they fix the problem in minutes. Sometimes I am not so lucky and need a package delivered from UPS, such as my recent one, which is now delayed 4 days due to UPS's business practices.

Once I noticed that it was my delivery, I obviously stepped outside to bring it inside. Immediately I saw that the tape on the top was barely sticking to the box and I was able to press down an entire side of the box, revealing what I had purchased. There was a rip down one of the corners of the box the size of my hand. When I picked up the box, the bottom side was loose to the point where I could see what I had purchased inside the box again. I have never had an issue with UPS package care before and this was completely unacceptable.

    I opened a new customer account online and ordered a return pick-up from a UPS store in Minnesota. I ordered a 10-KG box and shipping to my St. Louis office. I used my current address that I have had for over a year with the United States Postal Service. The driver delivered to the new address but marked it Address is Unknown. UPS then changes the correct address to an old business address from over a year ago and kept trying to deliver to this address 2 or 3 times. That driver did tell the Earth City location that my business is no longer there. I received a telephone call advising me that I can pick up my package from the Earth City location which is 20 miles and a 40 minute drive away.

    I spoke with an Earth City customer service representative who stated; "let me find exactly where your package is because it's supposed to be delivered to your old address." I told her I have not worked there in over a year and I asked for the package to go to the Jefferson location and deliver to the original downtown and only address I submitted. She said it would happen tomorrow and to expect a telephone call from someone soon. No one called me that day or early the next day.

    I called the 800 number and spoke with a very nice young lady who was responsive and helpful. She then involved her boss who assured me the package will be delivered to the original address and then hung up on me. The package was delivered the next day. Two days after delivery, I receive an invoice for $18.28 plus my original cost of $15.27. Not only did they screw up my 2-day delivery that turned into an 8-day delivery, this is the worst possible treatment of a new customer to double bill them after going through a terrible delivery run-around.

    When I call to complain about the invoice, the customer service representative accuses me of changing the address. I went ballistic! These idiots make all these errors and their computer screens do not reflect their incompetence, just that the customer is irate. Well, I am an irate customer who has had POOR customer service from UPS and they still want to charge me money for their POOR customer service!!! First time customer has now become a last time customer. Moving onto your competition.....

    I had a package coming from QVC and was updated that it would be delivered on 10/1 in the morning. I stayed home all day waiting on the package. On 10/3 the package still had not been delivered so, I checked on the tracking of the package and it said the package was attempted to be delivered 3 times on Saturday and the receiver refused delivery so it was now being returned to the sender. The package was never attempted to be delivered to my home. I called UPS and they told me it was attempted to be delivered to the post office in my town, not my home address, so it was the sender's fault. I called QVC and they told me the address on my package was for my home address and it was sent for home delivery by UPS to my house. They even read me back the address they sent it to and that was correct. I called UPS again and they told me it was my fault now because it was sent Surepost, even after QVC told me it wasn't. WHAT!!!

    UPS is a big fat joke, nothing is ever their fault, nor are they willing to try to fix their problems. I am done with UPS. My packages are always incorrectly delivered either to a neighbor who has to deliver it to me themselves or to the post office. I always specify with the senders who have always double checked with me, where I want it delivered to and I always watch the tracking so I can be home when it is delivered. Never has a UPS driver knocked on my door or asked me to sign anything. The only way I know they are there is when the dogs bark at the door.

    UPS is just plain lazy. I would bet if they could throw packages from the truck to the front porch they would do it so they don't have to get out of their trucks. UPS drivers don't want to deliver to the houses, so they try to dump it at the post office and if it is refused, they just have it sent back to the sender saying delivery was refused, when it was NEVER EVER delivered to the right place in the first place. Shame on UPS for their terrible customer service and lack of respect for their customers.

    Once again, cancelled a doctors appointment and spent the entire day at home waiting for delivery of a package. Car is in the yard, BIG 12x12" sign on door to "please ring doorbell" (because it is loud and even rings in the backyard). Found a note on my door that says he tried to deliver the package at 5:30. No one ever rang the doorbell, I have a big watchdog who did not bark. I called their office and NO ONE speaks enough English for me to understand them. But today is Friday, UPS guy probably in a big hurry. Package needed a signature. Now I have to wait until Monday to get it. If the sender had used FEDEX, I would have had it. I have even gotten packages from FEDEX on Sundays.

    UPS should change their name to UNRELIABLE PARCEL SERVICE, because they are absolutely the very worst that there could ever be. I am so mad. I am just glad that this was not something to keep someone alive, like medication or the like. Why can't they manage to deliver as promised. I really needed that today. I wasted an entire day. Neither of us left our home all day. If the doorbell had rang, we would have heard it. If anyone had knocked, we would have heard it, or our german shepherd would have been trying to tear the door down. He didn't even try to deliver the package, he just put the sticker on the door and left. I have security cameras, and I am going to review the tapes tonight.

    By next week, I hope this jerk is looking for a job. If this is his idea of service, then he will probably be mopping toilets at McDonalds or the Waffle House. Even the mailman knocks loud enough for someone to hear. I cannot believe that at 5:30pm he was in such a big hurry that he could not even manage to deliver the package. Personally, I will never use them again, and if I am given a choice by those sending me packages, I will never choose the "BIG BROWN TURD" again. They have no pride in themselves, in delivering on time, or in customer service. I see their trucks pulled off in wooded areas all the time. If they have time to stop for a smoke break or whatever, then packages could get delivered when promised. This is too many times, too many errors, and too many damaged packages. They should be closed.

This may cause at least one business day delay." This is such masterful "truthiness" for "we lost your stuff and can't find it." I will have to fight for a refund, I am sure.

    I had Ticketmaster deliver tickets through UPS that never got to me in late August. When it was investigated, UPS said "left on front porch". Why do they not ring doorbell when they arrive? I appreciate them leaving my packages so I don't have to make a trip to the office but at least alert me when something like tickets valued at over $300 are left on my front porch. FYI, the tickets were suppose to be signed for upon arrival. This is not the first time I have had a problem. In early September, I had a package delivered that had been opened and nothing was inside. At least ring the doorbell and tell me that the package arrived opened, if in fact it was already opened while in your possession. I am just frustrated with the whole situation right now. I have a lot of packages delivered and have never had a problem until recently. I have noticed a big turnover in UPS drivers for our area.

I was told that delivery was attempted three times without any response, that they had left notes on the door and had no response. My child says that they had no notes.

Updated tracking just after 6 pm that my address was wrongly stated so they couldn't deliver it. It wasn't wrong at all, I double checked 10 times before ordering it, I called UPS to "update my information", had to wait on the phone for 10 minutes and they were like "oh, it's the same one we have here..."

Then when you call them for the truth they put these sickeningly remedial reps on the line stuttering and stumbling over their words. SAVE YOURSELF THE ** experience. USE ANOTHER DELIVERY COMPANY. This business wouldn't know how what efficiency was if you spelled it out, gave them a definition and used it in a freaking sentence. Sloppy is their specialty and that's what you'll be paying for.

    To end things on a high note they excel in nonchalant tones of voice and occasional yawning while you complain to them about them sucking which unsurprisingly they tend to already be aware of.

    I received a postcard from UPS stating that a package could not be delivered because the apartment number was needed. I called the 1-800 number on the card and provided my apartment number and was told that the package would be redelivered. The package did not show up so I went to the San Diego UPS hub and was told that the package was sent back to the shipper the day after my phone call. The customer service rep could not explain why the package wasn't redelivered and did not know why the package was returned prior to "returned to sender" date on the postcard.

    In fact, when I mentioned that the package was returned to sender prior to the date printed on the card, the customer service rep said, "I see that." I asked if UPS had a quality assurance department and I was told to call the 1-800 number on the postcard. Then I was told that I could call the shipper, provide my apartment number, and have the package resent. I wasn't happy that UPS couldn't provide any explanation and didn't seem to care that the package was returned to shipper without any attempt at redelivery prior to the stated deadline on the card. Needless to say, I won't be using UPS in the near future.

    I had a 75 lb package valued at $1500 to be shipped. I used the UPS website and entered in all the information to get a price. The cost on the website was $121. I took the package to a local UPS Franchise Store along with a printout from the website. At the store I was told the price would be $144. They explained that the difference was due to the insurance for the $1500. I gave them the printout to show that the website indicated $10.67 for the insurance value. They said their computer came up about $30 and there was nothing they could do about it.

    I left the store and got back on the internet and checked out FedEx. They too had a cost calculator that came up with $103.83. I took the package and printout to their store and asked them to check on that price. They did and it came out to the exact $103.83 so I told them to ship it. When they put in all the package information, the clerk said that the price went up but he didn't understand why. He took the sheet I brought and started comparing numbers. Then he indicated he had put the value in wrong and corrected it. When he did the price came to $103.83 and that is what I paid. So thank you to FedEx For having compatible software between their website and their store and for willingness to check out discrepancies. Not so good for UPS. I do have nothing but great things to say for the UPS delivery people.

    UPS customer service is DEPLORABLE. My order was shipped on 9/14, second day. Yesterday, FOUR days later I received a delivery exception email regarding my package. I immediately called and spoke to someone in the "special iPhone department" who corrected the shipping address and ASSURED me that my package would be delivered today. I even got a call 45 minutes later from the local hub telling me that the package information was updated and that it would be delivered today.

    At 9:30 PM last night, I received a second exception email stating that because they couldn't deliver it after three tries, it was being returned. Delivery was NEVER attempted after I spoke to the rep. I immediately called again, and was told by an unsympathetic agent that it was indeed being returned and there was nothing that could be done. I called back again and spoke to someone else that "checked" the order and then repeated the same thing. Telling me I should call the shipper and request that they resend the package.

    This morning, I called yet AGAIN, and got a fourth agent that first told me there was nothing that could be done, but when I persisted and told her that I was assured it WOULD be delivered she "checked" and told me that there was a note on the shipment to have it delivered today. An obvious lie to get me off the phone. Well, lo and behold, UPS came and went, and NO PACKAGE. I called and spoke to a FIFTH agent who told me, nothing could be done, and that UPS is not even ALLOWED to change addresses on Verizon orders, and that I had to call Verizon to have them intercept the package, since it was still at the hub.

    I called Verizon, and the agent there spent over an hour trying to work with UPS, speaking to one agent, another agent in the mysterious "special iPhone dept" and his supervisor. All three told her there was nothing to be done, it was being returned. She requested that I be allowed to pick up the package at the hub and was told no, it was not possible.

    So the end result, BOTH of my orders will be returned, my orders will be cancelled and I will have to reorder. This will POSSIBLY have my devices to me by late October or early November. While I understand that the original error was on the part of Verizon, UPS's lack of willingness to work with me OR Verizon directly is pathetic. Even more so, the fact that your agents outright LIE to customers, is beyond reproach. Your company is a disgrace to the Logistics business. Anyone needing to ship or receive something should be very wary and try and make sure their orders are shipped by any other company than UPS. Only giving one star because zero or negative stars is not an option.

    I have been experiencing the absolute worst possible service with UPS these past few days and sadly, this is not the first time I have been severely disappointing by your company. I took the day off from work yesterday to sign for a very important package that was to be delivered, only to get a notification saying that my package was "attempted" and would be tried again the next day. This is patently untrue, as no doorbell was rung, no one knocked and most importantly, a doortag was not left at my residence to prove that the driver actually arrived.

    I immediately called UPS to resolve the issue and was told that I would get a call back to arrange for the driver to re-attempt that same day. An hour later I was told that that would not be possible and I would have to go to the UPS store (which is very far from my house AND only open until 6pm) to pick it up - this is a close to impossible request for someone without access to a car that works normal weekday hours. Having it sent to a UPS Access Point was not possible as this is considered a "high value" package.

    I could not afford to take another day off from work again and was told to contact the shipper (T-Mobile) to have THEM change the shipping address to my work, which didn't make any sense but I complied anyway. As expected, T-Mobile said that it's out of their hands once the package leaves their warehouse. After getting UPS on the line again, I was told that my only option would be to PAY to have the receiving address changed, which is adding insult to injury. I did end up paying and was promised that my package would be rerouted to my work address today. It is 1pm EST and my address change request is still showing as "pending" so there goes another promise being broken by UPS. I am tired of being told different things by different customer service associates (many of whom had a bad attitude to begin with) and vow to never use your delivery services again. As for the package I am STILL awaiting resolution.

The first customer service rep I spoke with did fax me the delivery notice. I had to call back and the second rep. started an investigation. I got her name and employee number. I'm more interested in who sign my name. This person would have to look at the package to know to sign my name. This being a business, I would think the UPS driver would make sure this package got in my hands and only having one UPS driver he knows me well. And he will know I did not receive this package and I sure did not sign for it.

    UPS seemed to think I was lying. The first rep didn't offer to open a case for this. The second rep spoke to me like I was a child. This missing item that someone has is only three sets of curtains for this business. The point being, I found these reps were half asleep, bored, and could care less. When someone signs my name and it's not me, I assume this is a criminal offence. I will not use UPS again as this is not the first time I have had this trouble.

    Well, how funny, I was sitting at home all day long at a "doorman" building, to get a package which was out for delivery at 11:19 AM today. I didn't leave my apartment not even once. And I receive an email says that "5:50 PM the receiver was not available at the time of the first delivery attempt. A second attempt will be made." Are you kidding me? So my packages don't even come upstairs to my door, the doorman takes them all and I go downstairs to get them. And the front door of the building is forever open because you have to go through the security anyways.

    Well, let's say the delivery guy went through my doorman to upstairs which never happens, how I haven't hear my doorbell ring even once which would wake a dead person from death loud. Well after the email I received about delivery attempted, I go at the door, there's not a "yellow notice" which supposed to say that it was attempted and "they couldn't find me"… I go downstairs to ask my doorman if UPS came in and he says no never. They never even showed up!!! IT'S FUNNY THAT I RECEIVED PLENTY OF PACKAGES ALL DAY LONG BUT UPS DELIVERY ATTEMPT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL??? I would buy the lie if I wouldn't be at home all day long and if I wouldn't have a doorman at the door. I call the UPS company. They say they will bring my package tomorrow??? Well, I have a flight at 8:00 AM tomorrow!!! So that I paid extra for this package to be here today!!!

    I can't believe they never even showed up, plus, lied about showing up. The address is 100% right on the package too as we confirmed with the agent. I have cameras all over my building that can prove that the delivery guys were never here… I bet they thought it's not such a big deal to lie about something like this. It was raining between 5:00PM to 6:00 PM, and the delivery attempted was at 5:50PM... so obviously they didn't want to get wet and just lied about the situation. I bet they didn't think that I would have a doorman takes packages 24 hours a day. I'm really upset and won't gonna let it go at all.

    On the phone the agent wasn't helpful too. They didn't care. I'm going to return whatever will come and tell the company that I bought from is UPS' fault because they couldn't make it on time and now I don't need the order anymore because I left without it already which was supposed to be useful for where I am flying tomorrow.

    UPS has been an absolute nightmare to deal with. My package was shipped on August 30 with the tracking ** from the US to Canada. First you lost the package and despite my calls every single day multiple times, nobody gave me any information as to what is happening. Then you found the package, assigned a new tracking # to it ** with an online notice that it was being sent back to the shipper. I had to call your customer service a whole bunch of times only to find out that it was in reality being shipped to me. It gets better.

    On September 14 (15 days after it was shipped!) I see an online notice that says "delay because of a mechanical error". It has been 15 days (and still counting) that I have yet to receive my package that was supposed to arrive last week. The worst part is your absolutely horrible communication skills with your customers. No information no compensation for my time that you wasted or the time that you are late for delivery.

    Of course, whoever is going to read this (if anyone does) is not going to give a ** because that's what you seem to do best. But make no mistake I will file complaints wherever and however I can. I may be only one person but I will do everything I can to make sure my voice is heard and you are not even compensating your customers for your incompetence.

We were short 2.44 cents for the Smart pick up and so I shipped an extra package to my mother to meet the minimum so I wasn't charged the 25.00 short fee. They pushed that charge onto the next invoice so they could get the extra fee. When I attempted to contact them I was given the runaround.

I looked at the tracking information and it said "1st attempt made, receiver was unavailable. 2nd attempt tomorrow 9/13." I have been home all day and have not heard a knock. So naturally I call Customer Service again. They said the notes said the driver put was not able to reach residence. Completely not true. We live in a neighborhood with no gates, no codes to get in. All we have is a leasing office, but they were supposed to deliver it to our apartment. So long story short now I have to spend the better part of my day off going to Statesville, NC to get my package. Mind you it's a customized computer so it's probably not light. Being pregnant this is not going to be easy for me. Just appalled at this service. Never had an issue until now.

    On Saturday Sep 10, 2016 I went up on UPS.com and paid for “UPS Next Day Air” service. The receipt I got online stated “Guaranteed By: 10:30 AM Monday, Sep. 12, 2016." The website also stated that I could drop it off at the “UPS Store” near me. So I got in my car and dropped off the package at 3:43 PM on Sep. 10. 2016. Monday morning at 10:30 AM I find out the package is still at the “UPS Store” near me using package tracking at UPS.com. I called UPS, spent over 1 hour and talked to 3 different people that said they were with customer service. What I learned was I was supposed to know that the “UPS Store” has a UPS Air Pickup Time of 2:00 PM. What this translates to is a cutoff time.

    When I asked the customer service representative why I was not notified she told me they are a separate company. So as a customer how was I supposed to know when I was on UPS.com that the “UPS Store” is a separate company? How was I supposed to know to check for pickup times and what that really meant? This company has a lot of business and does not need mine I know but they do not even know what customer service is, how to treat customers, or even talk to customers.

    With UPS they not only charge incredible rates on freight they whack you for customs clearance fees of their own on top which they do not advertise. They will only get me once and hold me to ransom to release my goods. I have requested the company I purchased my goods from to ditch UPS. It’s a case of buyer beware and UPS are not an upfront company. If I could swear on this site and say exactly what I think of them I would but you get the idea. Don't use or support UPS!

    I have had several packages delivered by UPS. A lot of times they will just leave the package out by the gate. Don't bother to come in the yard. A few times they left the packages at my brothers house in town instead of making the short drive to my house, then my brother notified me that they left the packages up at his house. I live rural but only about 3 miles from a small town on a gravel road. This specific package had powder contents that if got wet would be ruined and I am disabled, so trying to carry a heavy box is very difficult for me.

    I left special instructions on the order: "do not leave at gate. Please come to door and notify owner that package is here." They again left package at the gate on a ladder. Looks like maybe made small attempt to enter. Gate held by bungee 2 cords, the bottom cord was broken, the gate partially open, My 2 small dogs found about a quarter mile from home and I had much difficulty trying to get the box into the house. I had SPECIFICALLY requested this package not to be left by the gate and now I have to replace the bungee cord and took me a while to find my 2 dogs. Just not happy.

    My husband and I was expecting a package. The driver who delivers to Colonnade Apartments in Downtown Saint Paul throw my package on the curb after my husband asked for them. Secondly he try to argue with my husband saying he did not live in same apartment with me. And snapped at my man for nothing.

    Three weeks ago he claimed I didn't live in apartment that was on package then said this "oh I didn't know where your apartment was". I want this driver to never deliver another package to this building. I'm sick and tired of his crap and I'm working on getting him deep, deep trouble.
