    I will never use UPS. Ever promise me I mean that when I say that. I have never had the worst experience from a shipping company. I was supposed to receive a package and sign for it, they notified by email since I had notifications setup that my package would be delivered on Thursday so I took the day off so I could sign for it. I waited all day and no package so I contacted them very upset. They guaranteed me it arrive the next day. Well Friday comes with a notification the package was on the truck out for delivery and again waited all day and no package. Again I contacted them again this time livid with their ** of making me wait all day again. This time I even emailed them a complaint about not getting the package. They emailed me back and said the package would be delivered Saturday... Again I wait all day and no package. Now I am totally done with UPS. Waited all day and no package.

    They sent me emails all three days around 8 and 9 at night and 3 in the morning saying the package was being delayed. I then they said the package would be delivered between 2 and 6 on Monday and I waited all day again and no package till the last minute. I say they are worthless and only will use FedEx and USPS but never again UPS. You suck and your customer service is even worse.

    I waited around my office all day tracking and waiting for UPS to deliver a package. 12:00 rolled around no package. 3:00 rolled around no package. Then I called. They said package is on the truck en route. OK then 5:30 came. I decided to call and asked were is my package. They then told me that the driver came by my business at 5:30pm and said that we were closed. NOTTT. My business is open 24 hrs a day. I was in front of my door talking to business neighbors from 4:40. Till then also he never left a sticker lying **. Well now they told me after calling them over 5 times that I will have to travel 40min on the other side of town to pick up my package from the distribution center. Join me. Let's boycott UPS which stands for "useless parcel services". It sounds like the guy didn't want to work. That's why immigrants coming from other countries want the job because Americans are lazy.

    Quick, efficient, delivery always on schedule. UPS always gives me great delivery service. The packages they deliver to me are always on schedule and they always keep me informed when delivery should be arriving and when packages are delivered. Also, UPS also delivers my packages according to my request if I am not able to personally receive my package.

    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. UPS they really need to get their facts straight.

    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! (Oh and they will tell you the center will call you back and guess what - NO call backs from anybody). Just don't use UPS. Even USPS is way much better than UPS! If only I could give 0 stars!!!

    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. It looks like trash and needs an update, not user-friendly. Also, it says "live chat" but it doesn't work, it just brings you to FAQ's. I have mentioned this before but lack of communication. Never did I get an email from the apologizing or even acknowledging what happened. I hope Amazon gets rid of them soon.

    UPS never makes a delivery. Previously I went to UPS located on the Plaza at KCMO to retrieve package. The Manager was so ignorant. I got a text from Amazon stating UPS signature delivery required and no secure location to leave package. I should have received my package within 2 days. UPS Manager stated will redeliver for the third time after waiting 5 days on Monday. UPS has never attempted to deliver the package. The post office managed to deliver the package to the Management office or leave a delivery slip, but UPS did not do so. I hate UPS delivery service.

    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.

    If you're waiting for a delivery that is anywhere near the window that UPS provides, you are going to be sadly disappointed. They do not adhere to that window in any respect whatsoever. It is my experience that they deliver their packages when they see fit. Mostly as late as an hour and a half from the last time it was suppose to be delivered. Do not use UPS under any circumstances if you need the package delivered on time.

    I requested my first UPS pick up for Wednesday between 8 am-2 pm before we went out of town. They confirmed they would be there and I was home until 3:30 PM. They never showed up. I called the next week Tuesday to reschedule a pickup and they apologized saying they came Wednesday at 8 PM and would have someone from UPS call me soon to schedule a pick up for tonight. 20 minutes later my phone rang and someone said they would schedule the pick up for today ASAP. I said I would be home for 2 hours and they have to come then. Right now it's been 3+ hours and nobody has showed up for pick up. I am on the phone with UPS who claims they cannot give me a time window for the pickup. I need to leave the house and wanted to make sure the pickup could come in an hour and half and they claim they cannot tell me and would have to have someone call me tomorrow to schedule a pickup.

    This will be the 3rd day I will have to sit around for HOURS!!! Waiting for UPS. I do not believe a word they say and I just need my package to be picked up so I can return it. UPS LIES! They are inconsiderate and have no respect for their customer's time. There is MAJOR miscommunication within their company. Their dispatch team and drivers need to get on the same page. If you make a commitment to your customers you need to KEEP IT! It seems I am not the only customer fed up with UPS mistreating their customers. I see over 4,000 complaints online!!!

    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.

    They could lower their prices to be competitive and take a little extra care when shipping/loading to avoid damage. Their speed is fantastic until they are required to hand off to U.S. Post Office. The drivers really make the company great. I really love UPS. They get a bad rap sometimes because the shipper makes an arrangement for them to hand off to local post offices for final delivery and it adds 3 days to delivery. I wish the shippers would just stay with UPS all the way through. I know I will always get my package quickly with them. And the delivery staff is always kind.

    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". I will never use ups again and will spread the word to everyone I know about the bad service I received and witnessed while I waited over 2 and a half hours at the ups location 4200 Samuell blvd in Mesquite TX.

    Trying to be brief: Placed order, shipped to apartment building and for some reason UPS can't get in when every other delivery service can. So they left a note. I called and scheduled to pick it up myself from warehouse. I arrived before driver. After an hour wait they told me they've put it on another truck for redelivery 3 days from now. Again while I am at work so another missed delivery note is expected. And for what? How do I get my package? They couldn't tell me. I got customer service on the line, after another 40 minutes with them, I asked for a supervisor to file a complaint with, another 15 minutes of hold time before the call ended. No complaint was able to be filed. No package was received. I'm in a loop it seems.

    I asked how I can be compensated for them dropping the ball and they told me I can contact the store I made the purchase through for a refund. I said, "But you messed up." They said yes... And why is UPS in business??? While at the pickup location they were telling every single person the same thing who had previously set up for pickup. I started saying to new customers coming in "Don't waste your time." And I watched as they went to the counter, and also was told "Sorry but we don't have your package."

This is terrible! & worst part of the whole ordeal as to why I def think they should refund my money immediately, again I insured the TV for $1,400 but worst part was the employee who took my order actually forgot to put tracking # on the actual TV package (*smh*) because when I filed my complaint they couldnt find tracking # & I had 4 separate packages including TV. *smh* :( Gtf outta here UPS, again you guys are a freaking joke & I still want my $1,400 back. Very very unprofessional UPS. #goFedEx

    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! WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!

    I find them to be the most reliable and easy to use. UPS stores are always nearby and the people there are always helpful. They offer options on how to ship and their tracking feature for packages is awesome. I also love that since I signed up for an account, I always know when a package has been shipped TO me, approximately when it will arrive, updates keep me posted and I even get notified that it's been delivered just in case I am not home - this way I know to check by my front door. No complaints from me!

    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!!!

    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 called back then he gave me the address. Had to go there and pick up my package. This employee has 0 to no customer skills and shouldn't be handling business for anyone.

    Awful experience. Don't use it. Packages promised to be received the next day and they are not. First document sent by air to be delivered next day and one of their employees sent it to another facility which caused a 1 day delay. Sent another package and was also supposed to arrive the next day and took 2 days. Very unreliable.

    First, my package was not let on the plane in China, then the same thing happened in Korea. After that UPS scheduled my package for Saturday. I even got an e-mail saying that I have a package coming today, but no. Four days delay! I feel lied to by UPS. I've been told that I will get my package on four different days now and they were all lies. Unacceptable treatment.

    Like many other reviews paid $30 for overnight service. Item took two days to make it on my local truck on 7:43 am. I called customer service overseas. Of course she said don't worry it is out for delivery and at 9:08 pm the website updated that I will get it Monday. If it actually comes Monday that is a four day old gift. No Saturday hours at the hub. If I want to drive 20 miles to get it I have to wait until Tuesday. To get back my $30 shipping the store has to request it. People please use the post office.

    I paid for express shipping on a package, but made the mistake of not including the apartment number in my address. 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. Why is this private company not as good as a government run postal service?

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

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.

    I received a delivery this evening a little after 6 pm. I heard a very loud thud outside of my front door and looked out the front window to see what had happened. 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 was so disappointed that I cancelled my repeat deliveries through the company I bought from so that UPS cannot deliver my packages anymore.

    I had a overnight package shipped from Ft Myers Fl to Naples Fl, 25 miles, the last known location was Louisville Ky. Why would anyone do that? Just plain crazy, this company is by far the most disorganized outfit on earth. This is the best part, online it still says it will be delivered by 10:30 AM in Naples and it left Louisville at 4:30 AM. This morning this package is medication I need from the V A. odds 100/1. I now realize that I should have pick it up myself however it is shipped this way every month without a problem.

    I am on the receiving end of Freight with both UPS and FedEx. Every, Single, Time I have freight from UPS it's damaged. The last time the driver accidentally dumped it off the back of the truck. My posting today is fueled by a new development. My tracking number and related information. My tracking was provided a week ago. It was today was my estimated delivery, so I rented a forklift because this has always been accurate before. When I double checked the tracking number to see what time of day our freight was scanned out for delivery I noticed it was still sitting in SLC--7hours away. I thought maybe it needed to update.

    Checked an hour later, same thing. BUT it said it was 'scheduled for delivery' on today's date and 'by end of day'... Confused with the contradicting information I called. Blah, blah, blah, later and I'm told "'scheduled for delivery by end of day' is only an estimation. You should know to give it 1-5 extra business days"?! This has already been in transit for 7 days!! Ridiculous!

    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!!!

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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. I can't believe that how being this big as a company and doing such unprofessional job is acceptable. I will never choose UPS on my orders again. The worst customer care and service ever.

    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.

    UPS delivered my package on 9/13/16. The UPS guy knocked on my door three times & before I could get downstairs in my apartment he was already knocking on my next door neighbor's apartment for her to receive my package on my behalf. The guy says to me "if I leave your package with a neighbor I won't have to come back out again for second time." I don't think that's right. What if you & your neighbor doesn't get along? UPS really need to correct their delivering options if that's one of them - leave the package with whoever lives closest to you.

    I have used UPS in my company for many years. They rarely refund lost or damaged packages. The rep has never returned a call on the first try.....The fudge invoices to try and charge higher fees... and after my 7th call today I'm ready to give up. 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 just emailed my rep who of course won't call back... she never has... If FedEx were more user-friendly technologically we would use them but they don't work with Quickbooks.

    The 1st time we ordered an expensive sketching tablet. My husband used his PayPal account so the address was not correct. He told them the address it needed to be delivered to and they said it was corrected, and he received an email saying it was also. The day it was delivered I had to contact our leasing office and they said no package was delivered. I had to call UPS Customer Service and they said, even though we told them the correct address, that it was delivered to the old one. So on my day off work I not only had to spend almost an hour on the phone with UPS, but also had to go to the old address to pick up the package.

    The second time we ordered a customized computer. It was supposed to be delivered today 9/12. I was tracking the package so again on my day off I have been home all day to make sure I receive it. 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.

    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.

She said we have to pick up at 2:00 or it will be Monday before they will attempt to try to deliver again. Husband said "that is fine. We will do your job for you because you're not doing it. We will be there at 2:00 tomorrow." She gave us the address: 1626 Robert C. Jackson Dr, Maryville, Tn 37801.

    Lo and behold the phone rings again. Asking us if **. We said "yes." She said the address was not right. We said "yes it is. House has been here 20 years with that address." She said "that person delivering the package knows where Gamble Ln is but wanted to know what house it was on Right or left of the road and second or third house." I said "who is delivering".

    I thought I would never use UPS again after they smashed a box with glass items for our vow renewal in Las Vegas. It looked like they drop-kicked our box several times, re-taped it and sent it out to us even though we had clearly marked "fragile" all over the box. When we opened it, many of the items inside were smashed, even though they were carefully bubble-wrapped, forcing us to buy new centerpieces, etc. They never reimbursed us for the items even though the complaint was filed immediately and photos were submitted of all the broken items. All they did from the very beginning was give us a hard time.

    Unfortunately, I recently had to order something and the company only ships through UPS. Today, I received the delivery from some stranger who lives on a completely different road from us. They put the box in her driveway where she almost ran over it. Her children ran over to grab the box and opened it because they were waiting for a delivery. Once they realized it was not theirs, they drove it to our house and delivered the opened box. Really UPS?! Your service is HORRIBLE!!! If you care about what you are sending or receiving, I would NEVER recommend using UPS, ever!!!

    Ordered a phone replacement from Asurion to be sent UPS Next Day Air and was told that no signature was required for delivery. My driver decided that it needed a signature and even though my whole family was home, he lied to his manager and said that there wasn't a car in the driveway and that since it was supposedly "raining". He used his discretion and didn't leave me my package nor knock on my door so that any of my family or my dogs heard it. I called to complain and "Vanessa" told me there was nothing she could do and that it was policy to not deliver anything from Best Buy or Verizon (neither of which was on my package) without a signature (even though Asurion told me no signature required).

    Vanessa was rude, unhelpful and should choose another career besides customer service. I asked her for her manager and she said that she didn't have one. I asked if she was the President of UPS and she finally gave me Mike **'s name. Mike called me back and I can see where Vanessa learned her horrible Customer Service manners. He stated the exact opposite of Vanessa that it was the driver's discretion to deliver a package. He said that he just spoke to my lying delivery driver, who he trusts because he's worked with him for 20 years, and there wasn't a car in the driveway (yes, there was!!!) and it was raining.

    I asked for my delivery driver's cell phone number so I can call him up and ask him for his permission next time I order a package online for next day delivery but no such luck. And I guess Mike is the president of UPS also because getting him to tell me his Director's name was like pulling teeth. So I called and left a message for Mark ** to call me back but somehow I think it will still be a lot of bad customer service, entitled excuses and zero refund on the next-day service I never received because my package is at the sole discretion of my idiot driver.

I waited until the next day at my house to receive the package. No one knocked or anything and I checked the updated status which read "attempted delivery." Again, not the case.

    I called to see if I could have a "wait call" option and the driver claimed he was so booked that that wasn't an option either. While understand being busy, the person delivering the message stated that she called twice and said she was about to not call back. In addition to all of this, not having assigned numbers to call people back is unacceptable. This is not the kind of service that I want to pay for.

    At 5 am on Tuesday September the 6th, it showed online that my package was on the truck and out for delivery. So my wait began and to ensure that there would be no chance I'd miss the delivery, I opened my front door while leaving my screen door shut to show there was someone at home (clearly this did nothing to help). After having waited many hours and randomly checking the status online, my last check indicated that my package had been delivered at 2:39 pm to side door (what side door??). After several phone calls to UPS, clearly their logic is "Well the package was delivered", even if it wasn't delivered to its proper location.

    And apparently their definition of doing and "Investigation" is ME calling the shipper and to ask for a replacement. After being told by "Customer Service" (and I'm using this term loosely) that he already called "The Special Phone Number" that they are given by certain shippers in these type of situations. But of course he says for some strange reason there was no answer. So now it's up to me to contact them myself and plead my case to them. This is known as the UPS investigation process.

    The very first time I use UPS and my customer tells me that her mail was tampered with and she was missing 2 items of 4 (she had a single right leather shoulder armor and a gauntlet and was missing the second gauntlet with some small leather straps that had screw on rivets connected to it). She took pictures and sent them to me. The item I sent was in a clear bag. The bag was missing as well as the note I slipped in with the information of what's in the bag. To add insult to injury the thieve stole my business card as well. I had been getting a strange amount of excess views on the night before she received the package and thought it was a great thing but it was probably the thief viewing my online shop.

    I do not understand why they claimed that they had to cancel my inspection and have the customer call to continue it but the customer is calling to find out what will be done about the gross violation of her rights. After all it is highly illegal to steal someone's mail. I suspect I may have to contact human resources if nothing is done or if I do not receive information on what will be done to remedy this situation. After all I had to mail another gauntlet out and spent $48.45 on giving the customer a replacement for what she was missing.

    It's obvious that there is a thief among your workers who is getting rather wealthy off of doing this to small and large companies alike. The company should be more concerned with finding the culprit instead of trying to get away with it. I had taken a picture of the item I was mailing out to her before I mailed it for insurance purposes such as this. The customer had also sent me pictures of how the items looked before she opened the package as well as the contents of the items. I will certainly never be using UPS ever again.

I returned home, checked the delivery status and found that in my absence, it had reportedly been signed for by someone named "Crayon" (you couldn't make this up). I looked around the property but saw nothing, so I contacted UPS and advised that I thought my package had been stolen. They said they'd investigate and would call back within an hour. 90 minutes later, no call, so I contacted them again. They told me the driver was coming back, but had no further details. So why hadn't I been contacted? So I waited for a couple hours, but the driver never showed up. No phone call, no email, nothing.

    Eventually I had another look around, and there it was, stashed on the porch behind the screen door of the porch, with some things placed around it as camouflage. Phew. Still, this is not how a signed delivery is supposed to work, and there was nothing stopping someone from stealing the box off the porch. UPS, train your drivers to do their jobs, not cut corners.

Friday at 2:30 in the morning I receive an alert for my phone that my UPS package has arrived. I was asleep and so half awake get dressed and I searched all around my apartment and complex looking for a package. After all a package at 2:30 in the morning probably won't be there when I normally would wake up. I called UPS and they informed me that it was a missed delivery to some place in Mississippi. I was upset and went back to sleep.

    The next day I received an email at 1:15 p.m. informing me that since I am not home that my delivery could not be left because I was not home for a signature. I am upset to say the least since I took the day off. I call UPS and she said the driver had came to my place and I was not home. I told her I am home and I have 2 video systems and three cameras watching that front door gate area. It is also a very small area. I told her no one has been here and I also asked about the signature whether the client required one? No answer, just repeated the drivers comment. I hung up but not satisfied with the answer and wondering whether my other package will get here.

    I called and asked about that package. They also said that that package was not being delivered because I was not home. I was home! I have a video doorbell and two Nest cam cameras watching the front door from different angles. I emailed the center of one of the packages asking whether they requested a signature. They replied "No they did not". When I call you UPS and informed of the dishonesty they seemed unfazed. No apologies just telling me the driver could not deliver my package because he could not turn back. I replied, "In order for him to turn back he would have had to have been here!" 1 package finally arrived around 5:30. The other package was delivered on the following Monday butt they put it outside by unlock gate.

    The irony is I have a My UPS page profile... and instructions are to always leave it inside the unlock Gate. I even left the gate ajar 2 inches to make it obvious the gate was unlocked. The driver left it outside the gate for anyone to pick up on the sidewalk. To date I have no apologies or explanations on how awful they treated me. I'm assuming this is an everyday occurrence from their behavior and silence.

We sent a complaint into Amazon about shipping and Monday received a response that it had been lost and they would send a new one. Meanwhile, the depot assured me that it wasn't lost. It was on his truck and he would deliver it before 2:30 on Monday. He didn't deliver. After another phone call they found that the delivery driver shipped the package back.

    I phoned the UPS head office to make a complaint and after explaining what all had happened they told me they would look into it for me and get back to me before 7 pm. The response I got was that my complaint wasn't valid. Him putting the card in my mailbox was a delivery attempt and I hadn't picked it up like I was supposed to. So, my many phone calls to the depot and them assuring me he'd deliver and when I went to pick it up on Saturday meant nothing? UPS is a joke of a company... I've never been treated so poorly in my life.

    I used to love and rely on UPS, now looks like FedEx is my friend since I almost never have any issues with them. And no I'm not associated with FedEx in any way. I had a delivery attempts, 3 of them, despite giving instructions to leave it by my front door, I got a "we missed you" slip. Asked to deliver to my leasing center, nope, the carrier kept giving me his little notes every time until I have 5 days to go to local facility and make arrangements to pick up a huge box which is not fitting in my car. Why do I even need delivery service??? Oh and 800 number is a joke, a bunch of robotic people are answering and saying the same thing what they have been taught. Human help there??? Forget it! They can't wait until they can get off the phone with you since all they can say "Oh I'm so sorry, but we wish we could help you!" Company shipping became a joke!

    UPS did not deliver a package to my house because there are multiple residences at the same number. Instead of calling me or asking anybody they simply did not try, said that I was not available (whereas I was right by the door waiting for the package) and sent it off to a UPS collection center that is not even numbered on a long street.

    I have had several bad experiences with UPS. The most recent was today. Like a number of you I pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 7 from Verizon. Big red sent out my phone as it said it would, yesterday (8/17/2016) UPS tracking showed it would be delivered on 8/19/2016, as it is supposed to be; however, when I checked it tonight UPS now shows it as being delivered on 8/22/2016 even though the UPS representative I spoke to confirmed that the tracking info was correct. When asked if I could pick it up tomorrow I was informed that I would still have to wait until Monday 8/22/2016 to pick it up myself.

    In another horrible experience I found out about what UPS calls "logical tracking". I ordered a small cover-up for my daughter's 1st formal dance. 2 days before the date of the dance we were informed the girls would not be allowed to wear strapless dresses so I ordered from Amazon and the delivery date was the day of the dance. It did not arrive. I was assured it was in my city at the UPS hub by UPS and that I could come pick it up. UPS told Amazon the same thing.

    I rush over to the UPS hub only to find out it is not in my city, it is not even in my state. I was informed that the tracking info I as well as everyone at UPS had, except for 1 person who had access to the actual tracking, received what UPS calls "logical tracking". Logically my package should have been in my city but in actuality it was not. This is unacceptable, if I could choose I would always have the U.S. Post Office deliver my packages. It is by far the most reliable.

    Returned home from trip within 30 minutes of final attempted delivery. Immediately contacted UPS to make arrangements to pick up package at one of their locations. Was informed that package could not be retrieved for "security reasons" and had to be returned to sender. Apparently UPS has no security concerns regarding its driver while the package is riding around in the truck with him or concerns about the personnel who will be handling the package while being transported back to its sender. It appears as if the company's true concern is all about being able to charge a second shipping charge. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Next time it's Fed Ex for sure!

    If you ever use UPS for shipping, make sure that you use it at least once a month. We use it sparingly, and have not had to use it for the last 4 months. Because of no activity, UPS cancelled the account, and did not give any notice. When I went to log in to create a shipment, I was able to log in and fill out the form, but it would not take the account number to bill it to. No mention anywhere on the site that the account was cancelled, nor that I needed to call Accounts Receivable to have it reopened. Found that out by using the Live Chat.

    The woman in AR did not seem to understand that it did not say anything on the site anywhere about the account being cancelled, nor that it was closed for inactivity. Only kept telling me that in order to reopen the account, I needed to call AR and request it. Obviously that is why I was on the phone, and it was done.

    When I asked her why there was no mention, or why no one notified us of the cancellation, she tried to say that we were called. When I said no one has ever called, she didn't know what to say after that, just kept repeating that we needed to call AR and request the account be reopened. PLEASE be sure that you use your UPS account at least once a month so it is not cancelled without your knowledge... or you will have to go through what I just did...

    I ordered a wedding shower gift off a store registry (a $300 set of pots) which was only available online. I had to pay $11 to have it shipped to me on time. There was another faster expedited shipping choice which cost $15, but the $11 option was fine for me. It came on time but I could not believe the condition it came in! It looked like it had fallen off the truck and rolled for a mile!! The pots were in the same box you would purchase them in the store, (not in another cardboard box), with a partial plastic wrapper that had the bill attached, that had been retaped together! The box was all ripped open and destroyed! I never checked the pots, but I'm sure some were destroyed as well.

    I could NOT believe a UPS driver would leave a package in that condition at my door!!! After calling the dot com number of the store, I was told to return it to the local store and reorder the item. Only problem being the store.com supervisor refused to ship it to me the expedited way because I hadn't paid the expedited shipping the first time! Now I was not getting the gift in time for the shower! After fighting with the supervisor, telling him this wasn't my fault or the stores and that they should complain to UPS, I reordered the gift and they refunded me the shipping. Now I'm hoping it gets to me on time! Shame on UPS for their handling and delivery!!

    The employee Andrew. What a piece of work. First of this is Woodstock, OR. Almost every business here is staffed with 20 to 30 year old attitude filled children. I arrive with my very large box about 93 lbs and hand truck it in. Andrew does a few head twists and hmmms while looking at it. Andrew says, "We have to rebox it." I reply, "No. It goes this way. It is cradled in high-density foam. You can just put another box around this one and tape it if you're uncomfortable with the box. What's the cost?" After measuring and continuing to give me looks of consternation and more hmmms, Andrew finally says, "About $350 but I have to work on it more to be sure and can't have it done until tomorrow. It will go Monday." I ask, "Can you put "UP" stickers on it, please?" Andrew says, "Yes but no guarantees."

    Now another person waiting starts to comment on how bad UPS is about that and stacking items interjecting in my time at the counter. I say, "How pathetic it is that they can't keep things upright when stickered." THATS WHEN ANDREW SAYS TO ME, "YOU CAN JUST TAKE IT SOMEPLACE ELSE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT." WHAT? I says, "You mean that's where you are going to take this now???" I said, "Andrew that is a crappy attitude and service." I ask, "Are you the manager?" Andrew says, "Yes. One of them." I said, "Andrew that's a bad way to act and speak in front of other employees if you are a manager." I pack my box out and go to FedEx. They took 5 minutes, put the stickers on immediately, and it was only $200 to ship!! No more UPS. They have sunk.

    I don't understand why it so hard to work with this company. They consistently mis-deliver packages to my home and instead of making it easy to get the package delivered to the correct address (which they had to pass to get to my home) they tell us we should just deliver it ourselves. Pretty sure this is what the client paid UPS to do in the first place. This last time it took two days of calling the customer service line to actually get an agent to schedule a re-delivery. They wanted to know everything about me too. You do not need to know everything about me to fix your mistake. I am only involved because you delivered it to the wrong home and I felt that it was my responsibility to let you know. Some people might have just trashed it or kept whatever was inside.

    I declined to provide my phone number and explicitly instructed them not to use it from their caller ID and NOT to call me regarding this issue. Not 2 minutes later I get a call from them regarding the package pickup. Thought this would have been resolved today however the driver drove slowly past our house and then sped off without stopping to get the package. The package is outside. It's heavy, awkward, and I don't want to risk damaging it by trying to move it. And it will remain out there until the driver finally gets here. I let customer service know this. No need to call and tell me that you are stopping by to pick it up. I am already at home and can see you. No need to tell me that it was successfully delivered. That is between UPS, the client, and the customer. Just pick up the package and get it to the right people. Why is this so hard? I've never had this issue with FedEx or USPS. Really UPS, you made a mistake - why make it such a trial to fix it?

    UPS 2281 lost 1 of 4 items to be shipped from a local Auction House. The charges for shipping included 3 items in one box and 1 shipment in a larger box. Two items were received promptly in a single box, 2 items were missing. An inquiry turned up 1 of the 2 items. To get that item required an additional charge based on the value of the missing item. Although the item had already been paid for, shipping was paid for with an implication of non-shipping unless the charges were paid. The value of the missing item; $125, was used as payment.

    UPS Customer Service was contacted and immediately placed a case worker on the problem. Although she provided a UPS telephone, the UPS phone system cannot find her of her telephone. It appears that UPS has different, non-connectable phone systems for different parts of the Corporation. Emails from UPS have suggested that we call the store and try and work it out with the very people that instigated the problem. Workers in UPS have indicated that UPS really supports their company and not the small UPS Stores that are franchises.

    Within the last two weeks all three of my packages that came through UPS, one that was ultimately then delivered to my home by USPS were damaged. When I asked the postal carrier about it, it was the packages are being delivered to the post office by UPS, and that many of them are badly damaged when they get them. These packages actually appeared to be torn from the top so that someone could see what was inside them. There was no damage to the actual products.

    I fail to see why I should trust this company to deliver packages from now on and will be complaining to the companies that I order products from. These people are paid to do a job, and if they are not going to do it well, they should be removed and others hired in their place. I'm sure the media and the AG's office would like to hear about what is happening with UPS, if they don't already know. We pay good money in order to get packages delivered, and they should be in good condition when they arrive.

    While rushing to the UPS department to get something shipped, I had done goofed in my shipment by not only packing adequately that I had to spend about half a grand on the shipment, and expediting it because the receiver was waiting for it, and I had been working on it for a while and it was way overdue. The assistant manager was a jolly ol' fellow and helped me pack it up and do it safely. We fit everything but one thing which had to be shipped separately. We made it just in time for the delivery man to take it away for shipping. Those folks? They were outright phenomenal, and I got a discount because I wanted to ship it, while also the value making the rise. Avoiding a confrontation about spending my money, things looked up to the shipment of the gift to the receiver.

    Until everything went wrong - Not only I had put it to Adult Signature so kids wouldn't make off with a grand worth of stuff, but apparently the receiver had to be twenty-one or older. Thing is, reason why I put it is because I didn't want kids taking the shipment and messing with it in a faux showcase. During the time we were discussing the shipment, the assistant manager told me that they don't usually care for that, until the receiver, whom is eighteen and is legally clarified an adult, told me that the delivery man would ignore her, treat her like she's fourteen, and despite the fact that she was the recipient, he never asked her for a means of identification. My recipient was not only very angry, but she was frustrated and saddened, as she was really looking forward to the shipment.

    Now, if I were to guess, if anyone were to have doubts about someone and their age. I'd ask for their information, not one they can make up on the fly, like a Driver's License, a Permit, or a Passport. Not once, did the man ask. Instead, he had said "Is Mom or Dad home?" completely doubting the age the recipient actually was, and not even checking if she was the actual recipient. Instead, he had plain ignored her, despite any manner of explanation. The driver had gone back to his truck and drove off with the package. The recipient would be the only one there tomorrow, so I had to call Customer Service.

    My chat with the Customer Service was nonchalant at best. He was difficult to understand a little, but he had at least offered to help, and didn't show any signs of annoyance. Let alone, he wasn't even rude or snarky, and was polite to correct me on any mistake or if the number I had given wasn't valid. But then I had to shell out six bucks to change the date to a day where an adult could finally sign the package. Granted, my tip yield from work is usually fifteen to twenty bucks, so I shouldn't complain, but hey; six bucks to change the delivery date. OR Ship the whole thing back again, pay about another half grand, insurance included again, in order to ship it where there is no adult signature, despite the recipient legally being an adult. So having to have made my move, I had to pay the short fee of six bucks, or risk that.

    As a result, well, I'm dissatisfied. Not only I had to shell big and not have it get there because they weren't there the initial day, and the other day, the driver ended up being a little irrational with how the shipment is received, ultimately made things go overboard. The good customer service, the pleasantry of working with the Assistant Manager, delivery driver here in MN, was sort of outscaled by how I sorta ended up not only getting a little scrooged of my money, but with how things didn't go so according to plan where I would bite my own tongue off and have nothing but only my condolences to the recipient, who I've had such close relations to.

I am typing off of my grandmother's computer after waiting an hour for it to start up and actually made an account on this site only for this particular review. Why was I motivated to write this with such inconveniences? BECAUSE UPS IS THE ABSOLUTE MOST WORST PARCEL SHIPPING COMPANY IN THE ENTIRE EXISTENCE OF PLANET EARTH!!! A mentally ill pigeon traveling from New York to Dubai would complete its journey faster than the one day shipment UPS offers innocent online buyers. I ordered a $750 package with one day shipment for $25 because I was so eager to receive it. Keep in mind I ordered this on Thursday July 28th at around 11. One day shipment right? HAHAHA NOPE!!!

    Today it is the end of the day, Monday August 1st. Now it may seem like I'm overreacting because it has only been 5 days but when I read "one day shipment" on a Thursday for $25, I D*MN WELL EXPECT IT THE NEXT DAY. Eagerly waiting each minute of Friday, I end the day disappointed and confused. I look up why it didn't come and most sites say one day shipping is one day after they packed the package. I found it ridiculous that they couldn't pack it the day of Thursday or early Friday (I ordered a small package) but whatever. I understood that Saturday is not a "work day" for UPS so I waited patiently for Monday. Today it is Monday and I have actually been waiting all day looking at the door hoping for a truck for my one day delivery. Guess what? DIDN'T COME! There is no adjective in the English language to describe my flaming agitation. The only relief I have been able to obtain from this annoyance is by writing this review.

I now cringe at the very abbreviation of "UPS". I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NO ONE REQUEST SHIPMENTS FROM THIS HELL HOLE. This experience should never happen to anyone.

    How does UPS get lost looking for Louisville Kentucky of all places??? (For those who don't know, Louisville Kentucky is their largest hub AND their corporate global headquarters.) Apparently Big Brown has some really smart package handlers and OTR truck drivers when they can take a package addressed to LOUISVILLE KY and manage to misroute it to Madison Heights, Michigan before anyone anywhere in the system noticed anything wrong! Then when I called to ask about my package after it was supposed to be delivered first, the Princess at UPS' so-called Customer Service tells him there is no information available and no one knows if or when the package might be delivered (and, no, I'm not being sarcastic, "Princess" is what she called herself - and apparently what she thinks she is).

    I asked for a supervisor and after 8 minutes on hold Princess is back to tell me "The supervisor won't talk to you but that your package SHOULD be delivered on Monday." I insisted on speaking to a supervisor and spent 14 more minutes on hold before someone comes on the line obviously surprised that you are still there, with the standard "I apologize for any inconvenience" and assurances that UPS will TRY to get the package to Louisville by Monday. I asked why they can't deliver it tomorrow (These are the guys who brag about their Next Day delivery service) and after 9 more minutes on hold, she was back to tell me that the hub in Michigan has "already started sorting" and can't be bothered looking for one package to upgrade and that coming from Michigan the package probably won't really get here on Monday anyway and that Tuesday is probably the best that UPS can do.

    So now I am waiting at least three days (more likely four) for a package that was supposed to arrive on Friday and was needed on Saturday, but now might get here Monday or Tuesday if they don't lose the same package again. Part of the problem with UPS' so-called "Customer Service" is that UPS does not consider package recipients to be real customers -- only the businesses that ship packages are really "customers" for UPS.

    A couple of days ago, I was sitting in my living room when I heard a loud "thud" against my door. I got up to open the door and spotted a package on my doorstep - a curious sight, as I had no recollection of having ordered anything recently. Thankfully, the UPS driver who had delivered it was kind enough to make me immediately aware of its arrival by throwing it at my door, so there was no possible way in which I could have missed this boxed enigma. Upon closer inspection, I determined that the package was indeed addressed to my residence - unfortunately, the name of the individual on the package was completely unknown to me, and I have been living at my current residence for just shy of two years.

    Doing what any individual of unambiguous moral integrity would do, I chose to take some time out of my day to stop by the local UPS office to drop the package off and let them know that it was delivered to me in error - surely, some wires somewhere must have been crossed, I'll be glad to see that it is reunited with its rightful owner and we can all move on with our lives.

    When I arrived at UPS, I placed the package on the front counter and briefed the employee working there on the situation. "We can't accept this." "Excuse me?" "Yeah, it's not really our problem, you have to take it to the distribution center." "Hold on, you're telling me this package - a UPS package, which was shipped to me in error by you, is not your problem?" "Yeah, we can't take it. Sorry." I was furious. They told me that I had to drive 30 minutes to the distribution center because of a mistake they made. I had to take an hour out of my day driving in the opposite direction from my house after having worked for 12 hours to fix their inability to do their job properly.

    I will go out of my way to never use UPS' services again, and this is stemming from a delivery that was never even intended for me. I can only hope that they get their act together and deliver the package to its rightful owner. UPS is an awful company and their mishandling of people's packages is bordering on criminal, and you have much better options.

When we went to the UPS store here in St Augustine, the guy asked if one hundred dollars insurance was enough. We said yes. We sold the bowls for $57. After 10 days of dealing with UPS and sending them pictures not once but twice, they turned it down. Somebody threw that box up against something to break them. I will not use UPS again. My husband sold the bowls because we needed the money. Shame on them! It is back to the United States Post Office for me.Tracking number **.

    We try to never use Kingston NY UPS with their strange hours of 330-630 PM 5 days a week to ship items but situation arose with a rural residence that had no mailbox so I had my USPS package returned and needed another option. So we went to UPS and waited 20 minutes or more with one worker at shipping station. My turn she asked what's in the box and I said it's a picture (picture size 16"x19" box a little bigger) then she asked is there glass I said yes then she laid the box flat on the scale and proceeded with CPR in the center of box.

    ONE CPR she pressed and said it won't make it while pressing, then TWO CPR and pressing little harder she says it's not going to make it, then THREE CPR even harder then I spoke up and said the box made it there once already and returned and then I said it is packed well with bubble wrap and extra cardboard. Then I'm told, "We recommend taking the glass out before shipping." Also she won't insure it now. Now that is disturbing but I sent it anyway to get away from that weirdness and waited to item was delivered before making this review. I receive items all the time from UPS and no complaints. This picture was shipped fast and safe. Item made it even with the CPR that the shipping station lady conducted, she didn't break it but it looked as she intended to if I didn't speak up. Won't be back unless we have no choice.

    A package showed up with a payment necessary of over $200. I declined. The driver gave me a phone number to find out what was going on. From that number I was referred to 2 supervisors with direct access (amazing!), a name and phone number. Not only did the supervisor get back to me within an hour but she went above and beyond to help me. Then, the folks at the payment center could not have been more efficient and helpful, even calling me back after being disconnected. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, professional, and the customer service was EXCEPTIONAL. These folks have it right, thank you.

    I shipped a valuable mandolin in June of 2016, very-well packaged, and insured for $3000. I shipped it from a UPS store, something I now regret greatly. The mandolin was damaged, and I filed a claim. A contractor for UPS was assigned the claim, and, not being near the recipient, got photos of the damaged mandolin, as well as the packaging material from the recipient (which was an instrument re-seller in Michigan).

    The claim was denied (totally from photos), with a reason stating it was not sufficiently packaged. I disputed this, as I believe it was well-packaged, and would have taken great abuse by the shipper to be damaged. I found that I could dispute the claim decision, but that it (and all other correspondence) would have to be initiated by the UPS store I mailed it from.

    So, my first complaint was the feeling that anything damaged was due to 'inadequate packaging', which always leaves UPS off the hook. If my packaging was inadequate, why would UPS take my $51 for insurance? My second and ongoing complaint that is that I cannot deal with UPS directly. Everything must go through the store... and when the store gets information from UPS (as I learned today), they have not let me know.

    The current status is apparently that my claim was reviewed and now will be honored. But I cannot verify that because this discussion (initiated by UPS to the store 7 days ago via email) was not relayed to me... nor have I been able to get hold of the store to find out where we (they) are in the process. UPS needs info from me (on forms they sent to the store), but the store has not contacted me about this.

    Finally, I was on the phone to UPS customer service early today and was promised via email of the necessary form(s). The email never appeared, I call back, and there is no record of my earlier call (20 minutes) nor of the attempt to email me today. The customer service rep takes notes in their system about the calls, except (apparently) when they don't. It was only from the 2nd call today that I learned that they would only deal with a claim form coming from the store. All in all, hugely frustrated, and will now only use FedEx.

    Received notice of collection on brokerage. No idea what for. The collection agency indicates that the parcel would have been paid for at the door but since they don't have internet connection, must have mistyped a digit on the credit card. This equals collection to me after 90 days. They claim they try to phone 3 times but won't leave a message on a machine. What next slates and chalk? Join the 21st you idiots! What business model uses a collection agency to administer accounts receivable? When is someone going to create a service oriented courier service? I will NEVER use UPS for shipments from the US to Canada. $20 parcel = $65 brokerage. They actually put me on collection before for an item I bought from an online computer store chain in Toronto. They brought the item in from their US warehouse to Canada and then shipped it to me from their store. UPS sent a collection notice on me for brokerage!

    Owning a company is a chore. Having a wife who orders things means we both expect courtesy from UPS, and on 7/20/16 ups came. Did not ring the bell, and left a note for us to sign for next day delivery. Nothing, and so called only to be called we would have to go pick it up. Thus finally got a US supervisor who said they would deliver it, and the next day Saturday got called, left no message, so we called back when we got home, and thus the same.

    All from the Philippines with people we cannot easily understand, and no supervisor. They said we had to pay $5.00 for it to be delivered. I called the company, Lands End, who said they would re ship by USPO as I requested. And then the girl in Philippines called, and I spoke to her supervisor and told them no more UPS ever, from this day and to return the pkg. I have been annoyed with them for years, and the way they treat employees, low pay, long hours part time, etc. So this is it. The end of our relationship with my business and wife's shopping.

    Not only did they lose my package by delivering it to the wrong address, ten blocks away, they were hopelessly rude to me when I called to rectify the problem and insisted I had received it. When I finally hunted down the package (myself) and proved that they had picked it back up when the wrong recipient had turned it back in, they didn't even offer an apology. Worse yet, it's been three days past when it was supposed to be delivered. It would have been quicker to just order another computer and had it delivered from another service. The only reason I stuck with UPS was that they had the last computer in stock. I honestly don't know how they remain in business when FedEx and the Postal Office do much better jobs and aren't terribly rude to paying customers. Especially when the mistake was their own.

    We were travelling in the United States and I left my phone in a hotel room. Best Western contacted me and asked where I wanted it sent and I replied to our vacation stop in Calgary, Alberta. Instead they sent it to our home in Ottawa by UPS. I received a message on July 14 from UPS indicating the phone would be delivered on July 15. I called their Canadian number to ask the phone be re-routed and immediately was connected to their call centre in the Philippines. The agent explained the phone could not be rerouted because it had already left their "hub" in Windsor ON to the Ottawa warehouse. The agent said UPS would have to try to deliver the phone first and then something could be done. I asked why send a delivery person to an address when we knew no one would be home. The agent replied "Those are the rules."

    I tried to get someone in UPS Canada to speak to but all phone numbers led to the Philippines. I received a message from UPS today to say the phone has been delivered--the deliverer left it at the door. I have now asked a neighbour to retrieve it--if it is there. Overall I spent more than two hours on phone calls (mostly on call waiting) and Internet searches and won't get my until our return. I have no idea how a worldwide company such as UPS can retain its customers with such bizarre business practices.

    Sold a pair of vintage lamps on eBay in May 2016. Took them to Landover, MD UPS. They were packed by a UPS Employee. My husband told her that she did not use enough packing. "I do this every day, I know what I am doing." Well the lamps were received broken and UPS had the nerve to deny my claim. I had to fight to prove that an employee packed them. As requested back in May I filed a damage claim. They picked the package up in Washington State from the buyer and lost it. With my persistence, it was found in late June... In their lost/found in Kansas City.

    Okay so I think it is over... Not by a long shot. I was informed that the package would have to be sent back to me in Maryland for UPS to pick up for damage claims. They slapped a new label on top of the initial label and left off the apartment number. I checked online for the date that I would be receiving the package. We sit in the house all day from 8am - 8pm. No package. I called the next morning and they told me that the package was delivered and given to someone on the above floor. This is an 100 apartment senior citizen's building. I guess since it didn't have an apartment number the driver decided to just give it to anyone coming down the hall. He gave it to a woman in the building and didn't ask for ID because on the internet is said, 'left with sender', I was the sender. I was furious and asked if I could go to the apartment to get my package. "No the driver will have to get it and return it to you."

    At around 4:00 that evening, I go to the office and ask if they had my package. Yes, it was brought down early that morning. I did not check the office, because I was already told the driver would be coming back to pick it up from my apartment. We picked up the package and I called the damage department as I was told to do to schedule a pick-up. I was told again that he would pick up between 8a - 8p the next day. Stayed home all day again... Guess what, he didn't show up. Called the next day and was told that he came at 5:45 p.m, and no one was home. I was home he did not come to my apartment! So they scheduled it for the next day. Another day sitting in the house waiting for UPS.

    At 8:35 p.m. we get a knock at the door... Guess who? Yep, it's the UPS man. I call them back the next morning and was told that I would receive an email with attachments that I needed to print out and fax/mail back to them. Again, I am a senior. I had to find someone to take me to the Staples store to have them print out the forms. The store is not near my home. I get there and there's about 8 people in line all looking frustrated. There are only 2 people working there. I spend an hour, not to mention I had to pay for the printed copies. I fill out the forms and had to pay to have them faxed. I am told by an employee at the damage department that I will receive a phone call from someone to verify that they received my information by closing. This was on July 13th.

    Got up this morning and remembered that I didn't receive the call. So I called UPS and spoke to the same person that told me that I would receive a callback. After her apologies she decided that she would put me on hold, and call the claims department. After sitting on hold and listening to that loud music in my ear she finally came back and asked me to call the claims department directly. Here we go... More run around!

    I call and speak with a guy who didn't have a clue as to why he even worked there! He tells me "Oh, they forgot to tell you that we needed your invoice so we can see the price that the item sold for, and the additional shipping charges you are requesting." I asked "Can you give me an email where I can send this in?" I didn't want to have to find someone to take me back to the Staples store, not to mention it is hot! His words were, "No, we don't have an email address, we had a temporary one but it is down now." You are UPS what does he mean they don't have an email address?

    Today, is July 15, 2016, and this problem is still not resolved. I will have to go back to the Staples store to send them this information. They told me it will be about 10 days before the buyer will receive her payment. The buyer is not very happy with me and threatening to report me to eBay. I live on a fixed income and cannot pay her out of my pocket. I don't buy online so I won't need their services. I will never ship another package using UPS.

I've received damaged goods in the past, taped together, and that they had contacted the receiver, which is not true, and that the package was not ordered, again never happened. UPS returned the items to Sender. I contacted the sender's customer service, and they could do nothing, but credit my account. I could not reorder the items as they were clearance and none were available. This is outrageous. They never put the package on a truck for delivery. It never left their warehouse in Fort Worth, TX.

    I have had numerous problems with UPS delivery's and made complaints about drivers leaving packages down at the roadside, even when the label states, "Do not leave at roadside." Delivery means delivery to my house, not the road which is not visible from my house. They deliver to the wrong address and continually miss delivery dates. UPS is not what they used to be.

    I know reviews are notoriously skewed towards negative experiences so I wanted to share a positive one. I live in a medium sized gated apartment complex near downtown LA and ordered a futon off of Amazon three days ago. Not only did UPS get the item to me within 36 hours of it leaving the carrier faculty, but the delivery person carried the 80 lb futon 50 yards from the front gate around two buildings and all the way to my doorstep. Excellent service especially in comparison to the USPS delivery workers who constantly throw packages over the front gate and just leave them smashed and crushed wherever they are thrown.

    I know people have a lot of problems with UPS/USPS/FedEx but considering the number of individuals and processes involved in getting a package to your door I understand occasional issues. While delivery service is far from perfect, in this case I was amazed and highly satisfied that my delivery was left not only in a safe location but also mere feet from my apartment. Cheers to a good delivery day and I hope everyone else's bad experience(s) improve.

Contacted customer service again to schedule redelivery in which I was charged a fee and assured it would be left at doorstep.

    Missed delivery driver yet again during redelivery, contacted local distribution center 1 hr later and had them contact the driver via cell to redelivery package. Driver's response was "It's up to his discretion to leave package regardless of the fact that no signature was required and I had given written consent. Package was being returned to sender and it would be impossible for redelivery." Meanwhile there's a heatwave in NYC with over 90 degree weather and I'm without an A/C.

On day 2 the representative read the notes from the previous day and stated they didn't do what they said they would. "I'm taking care of it right now. You'll get your package tomorrow."

    On day 3 the representative read the notes from day 1 and 2 and stated "I'm not sure what they are doing over there but your package is being held for customer pick up at the center" and if I wanted it delivered I wouldn't get it until Monday.

    I received a package today that was completely soaked because the driver just dumped it at the bottom of my driveway, although I had been told, when this happened before, that they never leave packages in an unsecured area. This was absolutely not a secured area. When I went into live chat to complain, all I got was robot-like responses about how sorry they were and yet another number to call. Now that I have looked at UPS reviews on the Web, I realize I'm hardly alone. This company provides lousy service and if I send anything from now myself, I'm going with FedEx.

    I am sitting in my living room next to my outside door when I hear something hit my door. Then my doorbell rings, (I immediately go to my door when I hear the package hit my door). I see a tall ** UPS driver walking back to his truck in a very fast pace. When I say something to him he becomes very arrogant and jumps back in his truck and pulls off. First and foremost I live in Newark, N.J. I don't live in an extremely bad area but nowadays no area is safe. No one should be leaving a package at the door without first seeing if someone will at least answer the door and the drivers could at least be courteous since they have a job and there are plenty of people who are less fortunate. I have had packages delivered by the Postal Service, FedEx, Amazon and none of them just throw the packages at the door and walk off.

    These packages contained two pair of sneakers from Finish Line that cost $160.00 a pair that were already paid for. Now had somebody picked them up who would be responsible for replacing them or returning my money, because UPS cannot prove that they were delivered. It just so happened that I was here to receive the package. The tracking # is **. They were delivered about 6:30 on July 7, 2016 so I know UPS can track the truck and driver. Upper management might need to retrain their staff on how to deal with the public. Their service is very poor and their staff is a disgrace to the company. At least this driver is a disgrace to the company...

    In January I was expecting a package from the U.S... had been a few weeks didn't come. I called company sending package. They said they would look into. They didn't get satisfactory answer so sent out another package. This package I received by UPS. Driver didn't knock at door or ring bell. Seen UPS truck leaving. Looked outside and package was sitting outside on steps. Anyone in area could have walked by and took package. UPS doesn't know what's in package and don't care. 3 months later I see a UPS truck go by my house was going out to store and almost tripped over package on stairs. I know I hadn't ordered anything and again driver didn't knock on door or ring doorbell. Picked up package and noticed this might have been the package that was originally sent out at beginning of year.

    Called the company that originally sent package and told them there was a package at my door. She said she was going to contact UPS and see what was going on. They had informed her that yes it was the original package had been lost or misplaced in their warehouse then found and sent out. They told her they would not be billing for this as they had misplaced it and were going to be putting it on their lost package list. Next thing I know I am getting a invoice from them for the lost or misplaced freight. I called the Shipper and told her the situation and she said she would be taking care of it. She got back to me saying she spoke to UPS and they were going to be canceling the invoice.

    The next thing I know I am getting a letter from a collection agency saying UPS has passed it over to them for payment. I contacted the shipper. She could not believe UPS would do this and contacted them again. They assured her they would take care of it. I called the collection agency and they said, "No," UPS has not told them anything. I called UPS. They do not keep customer notes in their system. Explained the situation all over again. This time, the employee I spoke with said she was going to take care of it. I got her name and employee number. Now I am going to wait and see if they actually do take care of it.

    I receive parcels from France a few times a year via Canada Post. This time, UPS was picked as Canada Post could have been on strike. For a 50 euros value, UPS charged me $37 extra. For the exact same service I was never charged extra fees with Canada Post and the overall price for sending the parcel was even cheaper with them. On top of that UPS doesn't respect the delivery schedule. Never pick UPS, extremely bad service!

    I ordered a laptop through UPS . The item reached to their center. They attempted one time visit to my home and asked me to go get the item from their customer center. When I went there they told me that by mistake the item was sent back to the sender, I lost 20$ this way. When I contacted them they took my information and said they will call me back within 30 min. It's been one week and I didn't hear back. Last time I use this stupid UPS. They are inefficient and when they do mistakes they are liars. Stay away from this company.
