    We shipped a package with a guaranteed delivery time of 10:30 am. When I called to inquire at 12:30pm they told me they would contact the driver and let me know the status. They said I would get a call back within an hour - liars! I never got a call back so 2:00pm I called. They said they called my office. I called my office and they said they never got a call. UPS lied again. 2 hours later at 4:00pm I got a call saying my package would arrive within an hour - liars! The package never even arrived on the day promised. I guess they just figure if they get it right 90% of the time that's good enough - to hell with the other 10%.

    I ordered a couple hundred dollars worth of merchandise two weeks ago. The website I ordered it from uses UPS. Last Wednesday UPS was supposed to deliver it to me. I received nothing. I checked the UPS app and sure enough it said delivery scheduled for that day. I checked again before going to bed, the app said No access - need code. I was mad. My street does not require an access code to get down it. I've had several packages delivered by UPS in the past 6 months with no problem. The app said they would try again on Thursday.

    Well Thursday came and went without a truck stopping by my house. I called UPS on Friday and told the lady I don't live on a street that requires an access code. She rescheduled the delivery for Monday. It's Monday and the truck has not come by yet. If I don't get it today, I'll be asking for it to be sent back. I will put a dispute on my credit card for the purchase and contact the shipper to let them know why it's being sent back. I'm sure they won't mind a loss of a sale over it.

    Delivery/Pick-Up driver was very rude and never rang my "door call bell". Many times they just drop a note or items outside the door claiming no one was home. I just happened to look out through my window when I saw a UPS Van. He was probably getting ready to take off in a very rushy attitude.

    Now not only is UPS unreliable, they are liars! I took extra care to download their app and signed up for all of their little programs to get notifications on all of my packages. For the last 5 or 6 times I have gotten no notifications, no information, and when I call they tell me their system is down. Kind of odd that their system is down every time I have a package sent. And now, with this latest package, they have it on their website that there is a severe weather warning and they are delayed two days due to severe weather in a specific area.

    I double-checked. I have family that live in that area. Now UPS can add lying to their list of flaws. Not only was there no severe weather in that area...it has been shining, sunny, and wonderful for the last 3 weeks! Just to be sure I checked within a hundred-mile radius of where they said the severe weather that was causing delays was. Shiny...sunny...and warm. And again, no emails, no text messages, no information on when my package was even sent or updates or locations.

    I had to call the company I ordered from so they could relay all of the information to me. Something funny happen...yesterday there was supposed to be a severe weather warning about 300 miles from my house so my package was going to be delayed 2 days according to their website. BUT today, 17 hours later, the package is now 4 states and over 900 miles away!! How does that happen? So either they are shipping it back to the company before I even get it or they don't know what they're doing. And I don't understand why, on a Friday afternoon, my packages will be sitting at my local UPS Store less than 2 miles from my house and yet I will not get them delivered to me until the following Wednesday!

    I have even gone to the UPS Store, they have checked and said, "Yes. Your packages are here." I tell them I want to pick them up and they refused to let me. I offer ID, I offered to pay a fee, and they refused to let me pick those packages up that are 2 miles from my house. And for some reason it takes them 5 days to go 2 miles! FedEx never has that problem. Or when I fill out paperwork to make sure that there has to be a signature delivery? I find the package on my front porch. Shameful! Unfortunately, I cannot dictate what carrier different companies use, but if any companies are reading this or want the best customer service, do not use UPS!

    I went into my account and made changes on an address for a scheduled delivery. I got an email confirmation that the changes were made and the delivery scheduled. Got home and a note on the door of unsuccessful delivery at MY HOME! The products were sent back, the driver submitted my address as "moved from the area"! Talked to 8 people including corporate about the changes in My Choice, nobody could find them nor see them on their side. I sent them screenshots, they were dumbfounded! Beware. My Choice is a scam.

    Ordered 2 day shipment Sept 14 2018. I understood when Hurricane hit our area it would be delayed. No Problem, however, when checking status a delivery date was specified, then it stated delayed. Again no problem, just communicate correct info. As of today, the status states, "On the way delayed" then next page says "cancellation requested". Do not know by whom. Yesterday I say a UPS truck just down the road from my house. So why would they not deliver our package? Another order made the same day was also returned last week with the same scenario. Now up to us to call and get our money back.

    I would like to file a formal complaint against the United Parcel Service as an organization but also specifically against 1) the miscommunication between customer service and the Watertown warehouse. 2) Unprofessionalism of the employees working within the customer service and Watertown warehouse. Yesterday (Tuesday 9/25) I received an email notification from UPS stating that my package would be delivered that day. At around 11:30, the delivery truck driver rang the doorbell but we were not able to hear it. I saw the failure to deliver notice on my door and immediately called customer service to see if I could pick it up. I was told that I would receive a call back within an hour to determine the time for pickup. I waited almost 3 hours for the call before having to leave my home. A message had apparently been left almost immediately after I had left.

    I called customer service around 2:30 PM as I was leaving my house to state that I did not receive a phone call and to update the phone number on the request to my cellphone. The agent I spoke with told me the same story that I would receive a call within an hour to determine when I could pick up my package. I waited an hour and did not receive a call. I called again a little after 3:30 PM and was given the same answer. I called again around 4:30 PM and once again received the same story. At this point, I have spent the entire day on the phone. I requested to speak to the agent’s supervisor and I needed a solution. I was put on hold for 30 minutes and then the call dropped. My mom went to pick up the package at the Watertown warehouse and she waited until 9:20 PM.

    The delivery truck had arrived at the warehouse but my package was nowhere to be found. The employees were very rude and unprofessional. There was no one apologizing for the miscommunication or mix-up. The employee who went to look for my package called security to tell my mom to go home as they could not find the package. I immediately called customer service again and was told that my package was at the warehouse and there was nothing that they could do about it as the warehouse was now closed. I have called the warehouse multiple times this morning and no one has answered. I called customer service this morning and received the same story that I will receive a phone call within an hour. I will wait the hour and call again if I do not receive any call back.

    This is absolutely unacceptable and I formally request a solution be provided immediately. The amount of unprofessionalism shown by multiple employees and departments within UPS is astonishing. I hope that this complaint will push the organization to improve their policies and procedures. I will also post this on a complaint website as I feel that other customers should be informed.

    I recently suffered a broken back from a work injury and despite not having as much money, I had to purchase a new high end bed to help with my injury. I opted to search on Amazon and I found a good deal on a bed. I paid $1300 for the mattress and received guaranteed delivery within about a week. UPS was to deliver my new bed. On the night before it was said to be delivered I got on the UPS site and requested updates on my delivery time to ensure someone at my home would be there to receive it, so it wasn’t left at door and possibly stolen. By asking for such I had to enter information and my ADDRESS. I asked for both email updates and text updates. At 8 pm I was sent a message saying my package was left at my door. No such package was. I never received any other alerts as I had requested. I then looked up my information from Amazon, my original email from UPS and my information I submitted for delivery updates.

    All 3 HAD my correct address. Next I called UPS and I was given incompetent service from an incompetent service representative and the incompetent supervisor I listened to telling the rep word for word on what to say to me. They then insulted me by repeatedly telling me my bed was delivered to me. After blowing a gasket I was then given the address they left my $1300 bed at. It was not even in the right city much less the right street number and not even close on the street name. ALL 3 OF WHICH MY RECORDS SHOW THEY HAD THE PROPER ADDRESS!! Either someone got a expensive surprise on their porch or a UPS Driver is sleeping comfortably. Amazon on the other hand was very helpful and expedited me a new bed and much to my liking promised UPS would NOT deliver it. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else and I will never use UPS again and do all I can to deter others from using them.

    Recipient not in when parcel delivered so it was sent to local access point. UPS tracking info stated it would be available for collection for 10 days but it was sent to another UPS centre after 5 days so recipient not able to collect! Contacted UPS who said they had no info on the local access point (where the parcel had been) so were not able to return the parcel there... but could send it to another access point in another town miles away from recipient! Had no option but to instruct them to return to sender.

    Tracking info inaccurate and misleading. Unable to get any sense out of customer services, they have no idea what's happening and don't answer questions. Have wasted lots of time and money on the phone trying to deal with people who have been incredibly unhelpful. Parcel supposed to be returned to me but has ended up over 250 miles away and UPS say I need to collect from this point!! They have been incredibly incompetent and disinterested... the worst postal service ever!

    Placed order on Sept. 15th. Received confirmation that my item would be delivered Friday, Sept. 21st. Checked tracking through the 21st and it had not been updated since the 19th. I signed up for updates to be sent to my mobile device. Have yet to receive any updates via mobile. Checked tracking this past Saturday, the 22nd, and saw that the delivery had changed to Monday, Sept. 24th (with a note that I had requested a different delivery date). Keep in mind I had NOT contacted UPS or asked for a different delivery date.

    This morning (Sept. 24th), I check the status again, and it now shows the item arriving tomorrow, Sept. 25th. Of course, the item is expensive and also requires a signature. I'm not going to be home. So I called UPS to find out why the numerous delivery date changes. What a joke! So now I'm left trying to figure out how to get my package that SHOULD arrive tomorrow (unless of course it changes again with NO notice). UPS is horrible. Choose FedEx or USPS if you have a choice. It will make your life so much easier.

    This is the second time the driver has failed to do their job. UPS driver sent me an email saying package could not be delivered because security doors are locked. If the driver had took the time to even check there are no security doors on this property. Nothing is locked. There haven't been security doors on this building in over 5 years. This is the exact same thing that happened about 3 months ago. Thanks to this driver's failure to get off his butt and check to see if the door actually is locked.

    Where do I start! I have had to call into the distribution center to make complaints regarding the driver who fails to look up my profile stating signature not required please leave package at my door. Half of the time the driver doesn’t ring my doorbell when I am home ignores the profile set up to allow packages to be delivered without a signature. What happens far too often is I’m home I have a doorbell which records and takes a picture of anyone who rings it additionally it rings to my home phone so that if I am not near the door I can tell whoever is at the door that I will be right there. What does happen is the driver doesn’t ring my doorbell. He may be knocked lightly and then runs off only to leave me with no package and a sticker telling me he was there but I was not. I have even gone to the extreme writing a note stating, "Please leave package. No signature required" or "Please ring doorbell I am home."

    What makes this whole situation even more frustrating is the supervisor at our local distribution center fails to even take this situation and all of my situation seriously. Instead he wastes my time having me send him pictures of my doorbells call log proving his driver does not ring the bell then that said supervisor refuses to return my call and email when this was at his request.

Based on what I have read in the other reviews it clearly appears there’s an issue and UPS is not taking any of these claims seriously. I love products and wish most companies would switch to them because their customer service and drivers are exceptional.

    If you are utilizing UPS for delivery of a package, do not use the tracking package date of delivery while looking up when your shipment will arrive. It is not reliable. I ordered a package with a stated date of delivery of 18th, only to receive a call later asking me if I would like to schedule a delivery date for some time that week. I for one rely on the package tracking data due to my occupation and scheduling around when my package arrives if it needs a signature. If you check on the business reviews of UPS, one would actually find numerous complaints about this service. To add to this, after contacting customer service regarding data (found on the UPS website) pertaining to failed delivery of an item on the estimated ship date, they had no idea what I was talking about. I am unsatisfied with service from UPS.

    UPS was scheduled to make a delivery of an important piece of equipment to my home office. As per the tracking number, the delivery would be made by 10:15 AM. The day before on the UPS customer site I created an electronic signature, and to double check, spoke to a customer representative. I was told that because I requested an electronic delivery signature, that the equipment would be left without need of my physical signature. This morning I found a note taped to my door that the delivery could not be made as I was not available to sign. The fact is that no one rang my bell and waited for me to answer the door!

    I immediately contacted UPS and a different representative said that what the rep told me yesterday was not true; that I did need to sign; the rep also told me that the delivery person is NOT REQUIRED to wait for me to answer the door NOR TO RETURN TO MY OFFICE! I explained that this was important and I could not do my job today without it, but received the usual non-caring response that the delivery would be 'attempted' again tomorrow, or I could travel 40 miles after 7:00 PM to pick the equipment up myself which still left me with UPS holding my equipment for another day. So I lost a day's work thanks to UPS. Unfortunately for me, I had no choice in the delivery option as the company automatically uses this useless United Parcel Service, which is no service at all.

Finally one lady called me and say that she will settle the issue and send the package to me the next day and again nothing arrive. So many promises and all broken. I have lost total faith in using UPS and I am going to advise my vendor never to use UPS anymore.

I have ordered two shades in a period of three months and UPS lost both shades. Dealing with UPS is extremely frustrating.

    I had stopped using UPS because I found their shipping costs were considerably more than other services. However, recently they had to pick up a package at my residence (scheduled by someone else and too large to be dropped off). It was supposed to be picked up between 12 PM and 5 PM but they never showed. When I called the 800 number, they said they would pick it up the next day, 9 AM-6 PM but could not narrow down that window! The UPS service rep was difficult to deal with and didn't seem to care that I had to wait at home ALL DAY, for a second time.

    At 6 PM the next day, they still had not picked up the package, so I called, and they said their system was showing it had already been picked up. Very interesting, considering web tracking showed it had not arrived at UPS yet. They sent an urgent message out to call me and said it would be picked up that night. No one called. At 11 AM the next day, I called again and was told they “were unable to get in touch with me” the night before. I hadn’t left my house and there were no missed calls on my phone. Do I verified they had the correct phone number. They put in another request to contact me. At 5 PM (6 hours later), I called the LOCAL UPS service number and let them know I had been waiting for 3 days for them to pick up this package!!! They showed up at 5:15 PM (15 minutes later).

    Jan 2018 I submitted a claim to UPS, here's why. My wife was pulling out of our driveway when the UPS driver (Terry **) pulled up. He had a package and stuck it in my wife's back seat of her Yukon Denali. Not knowing what it was she left it overnight for me, so the next day I went to get it out and discovered that the contents had been busted. It was a Lawn Mower battery and the acid had seeped through the paper, bubble wrap, and cardboard onto my leather seat. I noticed that my seat had started to deteriorate so I quickly took pictures of the box, contents, and seat.

    As time went on the seat gradually got worse and I took more pictures. I have record of over multiple calls to UPS being promised that it would addressed and someone would call me back in an hour with zero response. I've submitted UPS Facebook messages and spoken with managers Matt in Rome, receptionists, and managers (Terry **). All being promised that first thing in the morning it would be resolved, I'll work on it for you, yada yada yada... All getting the same dead end road and never hearing from them again.

    I was awaiting a perishable package of medication. The first fail was When the driver came by, he never knocked or rang my doorbell and simply left the "we missed you" slip. Second, I called UPS to have the package held and have my parents pick it up for me since I was in work and unable to easily leave. They told me that I was the only one allowed to pick it up. Explained that it was meds and perishable, and didn't want to let it sit till after work. I told them I would verify both mine and my parent's identity however they wanted and also explained that the doorbell was never even rung for delivery. Didn't care, no exceptions. I said fine, I'll find a way to pick it up in the morning.

    Third problem, I checked in the morning and called, and was told that the package was again out for midday delivery despite me being at work and requesting to hold it. The whole reason for holding it and picking it up was because it was highly perishable meds, and I didn't want it to sit around or be on the truck for another day. So now I have to have my parents sit at my house for delivery so it can be put in the fridge asap. This whole experience has been inept and difficult.

    We used UPS to ship bone china from Canada to the US. The boxes arrived timely but they were smashed and broken. The contents that had been kept in mint condition for 50 years were had several broken pieces. A claim was submitted and pictures sent to itemize the damage. We bought insurance luckily but it took 1 1/2 months to get the replacement value of the items and then it was sent to the franchisee owner. Customer service does not communicate with the customer only saying it is in progress. It is poor that the customer has to do so much follow up on a claim when UPS was at fault. They need to look seriously at how they handle claims and most importantly how they handle their shipments.

    UPS delivery is Monday to Friday, 8:00-5:00, if you are at work, not at home, they would attempt to do this again and again... I told them I am working, I was told to pick up at Brantford before 6:00 Monday to Friday, I am living in Hamilton, 30 min drive away, no pick up in Hamilton. This too bad. I had import charges, I got form and cleared at board service agency, I emailed paperwork with stamp to lady "Ms. **", she said I am all cleared, no more charges. But when I called the next day for delivery questions, the other lady said I still own for duty charges, which I cleared, they have bad communication inside company. I called six to seven times for this delivery matters, some agent's English is hard to understand, voice too low, and not hear, I asked them to repeat couple times, agent simply dropped line on me!! I have to dial again to talk to another agent, repeat my story again. UPS need better management. Do not use UPS, or you will regret!!

    I sent a perishable package from Boise, Idaho to my daughter in Lakewood, WA with the express understanding that it would be delivered in 3 days. UPS did not deliver yesterday as promised, and when I finally waded thru MyUPS site I found the driver had stated that he could not deliver due to needing a code to get in her apt complex. I called UPS customer service and had great difficulty speaking with a live rep, but finally did. She sent a message to the driver to go to the office or call my daughter's number to deliver, but she said there was no guarantee he would read it. HUH?

    Just talked to my daughter who spoke with the office - they said office was manned all day and that NO UPS truck came yesterday, and that if he did UPS already has a key to get into the complex, they do so all the time, else come to the office. I thought as much, this isn't the first time UPS has delivered there. So this is pure bull. I am unhappy that the produce I sent here is likely very deteriorated and we had to go thru all this stress, just to be lied to. And MAYBE that driver will figure out how to deliver today, or maybe not. While the package rots in a hot truck with an expired ice pack. There is a serious flaw in their delivery system. Their web page and their customer service is not up to industry standards either. This is no way to do business. Going forward I will use FedEx or USPS.

    I had a package get lost, which is fine as I understand they deal with millions daily. My complaint is that every time I call for any kind of update, I get absolutely no help. I understand when the package is lost there is not much they can say. I'm pissed because even after it was found, they returned it to the sender when I verified the sender told them to send it my way. Received absolutely no help yet again. Why have a customer service department when it seem their only goal is to get you off the phone as fast as possible while providing ZERO help. Save your money and invest in better ways to actually not lose packages in the first place.

    I was out of town on a Friday and UPS left an expensive package at my door or so they claim even though my signature was required. In other words the UPS driver screwed up. Even though this was a rather simple open and shut case, after 13 days UPS still gives me the runaround saying they are investigating. After pressing UPS for details as to this "investigation" they admitted the driver who screwed up is doing the investigation! What is he investigating? His screw up?

    Making matters worse the only representatives I can reach through the UPS 800-number are all in the Philippines. This is the kind of sending American jobs overseas that should be prohibited! I don't need to get a runaround from someone in the Philippines who apparently doesn't understand anything I'm saying. UPS really sucks. I learned this a while ago and only use FedEx now. Unfortunately other shippers are still using UPS. Hopefully they'll start UPS sucks and switched to FedEx. Even the post office now has gotten better than UPS.

    Has a company ever forced you to sleep on the floor? Well, UPS forced me to sleep on the floor, and it was not fun. I ordered a Casper Mattress for the apartment I was going to be moving in to. I just moved and all of my stuff was being shipped across the country, so I did not have a mattress and Casper seemed like it would be a great new mattress for my new place. Casper sent the mattress UPS. The tracking number showed it was going to be delivered on a Tuesday. I was staying in a hotel since I had nothing and the new mattress was going to arrive on a Tuesday, so I checked out of my hotel on Tuesday expecting the mattress. The UPS delivery driver showed up and dropped off two boxes...but the issue is that it was only the pillow and sheets. No mattress.

    I called the UPS 1800 number and spoke with someone who said they were unable to deliver any packages to my address due to a "special event"... Oddly enough I was at the apartment all day AND received two packages from UPS already. There were no special events going on. They made it up to try and gloss over the fact I did not receive my package. But I needed my package, so I called them back.

    So, I spoke with the supervisor and he advised me to call the local UPS location. The local UPS location said they forgot to load the package on the truck when they sent it out and weren't sure where the package was anymore. I told them I really needed the package because I did not want to sleep on the floor. They said they would look around and try and find the package. Well...they looked around and never called me back. So I called the 1800 number again and was told by the supervisor "well, you need to sleep on the floor because there is nothing we can do for you. There is no way you are getting your package. You can call back tomorrow". Keep in mind, this was about 3 hours worth of being on the phone trying to get someone to help me.

    The rep at the local UPS location was extremely unprofessional and said that he had no interest in helping me, and that there were other customers he had to assist, and hung up. I called back several more times, pleading with them that I needed the package otherwise I would be forced to sleep on the floor. They all said "we understand, but we can not help". I can earnestly say I am never going to use UPS again. When you are going to ship a package and you start to google a place to ship packages around you and see a UPS store is closer than a FedEx store or the post office...please remember this post and choose any other option besides UPS. I am going to have to sleep on the floor tonight because the UPS customer service has no ability to help and no willingness to go above and beyond.

    The next day delivery I paid $106 for never arrived. Was lost. And I cannot get my money back. I have been back to the store twice to try to track the package down and twice to try to get my money back. First they told me an investigation was under way and I would have to wait until it was closed (about 2 1/2 weeks after I tried to mail the package) before they could reimburse me. Now they tell me the claim was closed without a refund and a new claim will have to be opened and it will take some days. This is ridiculous. Just give me back my $106 already and don't make me wait and have to make a fifth trip back to the store! Not to mention the lost passport meant a lost vacation and the cost to replace it for the folks on the receiving end. I will never mail anything with UPS again. Do not use UPS.

I called customer service, they can’t tell me anything other than: it was delayed, to keep checking their website for update because they don’t know why it’s late. Period.

    Considering UPS’s business is delivery, it is way behind what even basic mom and pop shops can offer for delivery tracking. You are forced to wait all day for a delivery because they can’t tell you a reasonable time frame at any point during the day of delivery. I was told the morning of the day it was to arrive that it would arrive between 9 and 12. It did not arrive. I was then told that this was just an estimate and then told it would be between 2 and 5. UPS offers no GPS tracking.

    Customer service says that they cannot make outbound calls to the depot and that the drivers do not have phones and therefore even after missing the time projected they can not even call you an hour before delivery time. I’ve communicated to Amazon that I will cancel any future product order that uses UPS to deliver the products. I cannot be at home waiting all day for deliveries from UPS. It is really incredible to think a delivery company would not be the best at the delivery service.

    The first time we trusted UPS to pack and ship an antique sewing machine - a family heirloom. We paid for them to construct a plywood box to ship it in. It arrived at our daughter's home totally smashed, in a CARDBOARD box! Now, my grandson recently shipped his collection of valuable comic books which he sold because he needed cash to live on when his roommate moved away. He packed them very carefully. I didn't know he was using UPS or I would have warned him. The box arrived damaged, and UPS is giving him the run around. Reading the website I see that their policy for compensating for such losses is heavily weighted on their side. Basically promising nothing. My grandson has lost multiple hundred dollars because of the driver's evident lack of care in handling. It is heartrending. I won't use UPS. I'd rather pay more and use the United States Post Office or FedEx.

    I missed the home delivery and tried to pick up the package the next day. The UPS address was written on the door tag. This delivery required a signature. Using Google Maps and then Map Quest after over 30 min of trying to locate the store, I called UPS. I was informed that the drop site was a Locker. The Locker was in a high traffic location, hard to see from the main road, and requires me to leave my car to use the terminal. I felt totally unsafe and vulnerable to carjacking, theft, and abduction. This location is also near a high accident intersection of 3 major highways, making it very difficult to exit safely. Then the codes did not work due to the package not being there! This is the next day! This is also 7 min. from my home. What should have been a calm morning turned into the worst experience ever. Need to use another delivery service in the future.

    As much as I wish I could type the whole story here, I’ll do my best to keep it brief, but yes, I had a UPS supervisor at their customer service desk say “you’re a **“ and swing his hand at my face, which resulted in my calling the sheriff and filing a report against the supervisor. Here’s the short of it. Like many people on here, I get the whole “package can’t be delivered” notification EVERY time for over two years. Most of the time, they say they need a gate code. One time, they said my street doesn’t exist (it’s a major 4 lane street in Honolulu, and it was spelled correctly). Trouble is, I’ve provided them the gate code over a dozen times, 4 different ways, every time because I get the same delivery exception notice that they don’t have it. I’ve provided it through the MyUPS app on iPhone, in person at their main Honolulu hub, over the phone to a local rep, and countless times to 1-800 representatives.

    Every time, I’m told they’ve added it, and every time, I get the same problem. So yesterday (8/23/18), package was due for delivery. I was on my lanai when the driver pulled up. I watched him retrieve my package from the back of the truck, and as I was about to go down to the street to meet him and get it, I hear and see him start to drive away. About 5 minutes later, I get the delivery exception notification that he needed a gate code. Except, this time, the gate was OPEN (aside from having given the code so many times as previously mentioned). So since my phone was in my hand, I quickly snapped a photo of him driving away and that the gate was open, so when I got the notification, I had photo evidence that the driver lied. I am so fed up, I immediately drove to the main hub and demanded to speak to a supervisor named “Ken”, who from the get-go was very smug in his speech, expressions, and body language.

    I told him of the repeated issues, and that this time, I got a photo of it. I show him the photo. He asks for my tracking number, which I provided, He said “there’s no gate code provided”, I’m angry at this point and tell him that’s ridiculous, and I’ve already given it a dozen times, that his telling me it isn’t on file just proves my point yet again. He then started to blame me that I’ve never given it. Taken aback, I asked if he really just blamed me, the customer. He then said, “well I’m telling you there’s no code on file”. I asked him, "Who to blame for all this?" He said “the system.” I asked, "Whose system is it and who created it," he replied “UPS”, and I told him, “Then UPS is to blame and you still haven’t offered a single solution to fix the problem”. At this point, Ken, the supervisor, lunged at the counter and threw a hand at my face. He yelled “You’re a **“, “I’m not going to ** help you, this is why I hate customers and shouldn’t deal with them”.

    Because he threw his hand at me, I called the sheriff (this is at the airport, so it is their jurisdiction, not the police). While on the phone, they can hear him continuing to yell at me in the background. I hang up when told they’re sending a deputy. I turn and tell Ken, "The sheriff is on their way, I’m waiting outside until they arrive." He said “you started it man”. I told him that I didn’t do anything but come here with a problem and a complaint, and that I’m sure any camera footage will show that. He replied that there are no cameras and at this point, two other workers (office type, not in uniforms), came and took Ken out of the customer service area. It appeared a female counter clerk had notified them to come get him. I filed the sheriff report and left, still with the issue unresolved. Today I’m notified it’s out for delivery again. I go into the myUPS app, delete and REenter my gate code again.

    Then I call the 800 number, she says there’s no gate code on my profile. She connects me to the local hub again and I explain it all again (for the millionth time), and she says she’ll notify the driver of the code. I’m taking no chances. I’ve bungeed the gate open today. I’ve place a large sign on the gate for all my neighbors saying that because UPS can’t fix their problem, please leave the gate open. Now let’s see how it pans out today. I’ve literally called Amazon and requested they never use UPS. They said that they don’t have that option. So I’ve learned two things, one, if I go with standard shipping or overnight, Amazon doesn’t use UPS to Honolulu, so I’ll only use those shipping options.

    Second, the moment I see a package was shipped via UPS, I will cancel the order and return to sender. And since Amazon will refund the delivery charge for the expedited shipping if I do it before I get it, it’ll cost them. And then maybe they’ll learn. I’ll let my wallet do the talking. Like many others, I cringe when I see UPS as the delivery method. There used to be an ad “What can brown do for you”... the only thing brown can do for me, is go out of business and leave delivery service to the professionals that get it right.

My experience with FedEx was simple and efficient. I didn't think that there would be much of a difference between the two companies, but boy was I wrong.

    First off, I had to pay $87.00 USD to have my package shipped overnight from Oregon to Washington and back. This was more expensive than when I shipped a package to Seoul. I decided to pay because I didn't want to inconvenience the friend that I was running errands with that day. I expected that if I paid for this service, that they would be able to deliver the package on time.

    They were not only a day late on the way there, but they are also late on the way back. People don't overnight packages when they have spare time. I feel like they don't respect their customers when they take their money, but DO NOT DELIVER THE SERVICES THAT THEY PROMISE. I hope that nobody makes the same mistake that I have made with this company, and that you pick someone else to ship your packages.

    I couldn't select 0 stars so I had to give it one even though it doesn't deserve it. Do not trust UPS -- you will lose packages and money. Today was the last straw. I've had packages that took over 3 weeks to get to me when it should have taken 2, I've paid extra for deliveries that got delivered days after it was supposed to, they are unprofessional, will tell you everything you want to hear, but they are unaccountable, give you misinformation, and have no idea what's going on with your package -- tracking number or not. I ordered an item from HSN. I swore that I would no longer anything from any company that used UPS for its shipping. I would pay more for FedEx or the USPS. Why? Because I need someone reliable who will treat my package well and deliver it to its destination.

    My package was set to be delivered yesterday. I got several emails the day before confirming this. On the day it was to be delivered, I stayed home the entire day -- I sat in my living room from 3-7 pm, the hours they were due to come. No one ever came, but my phone buzzed and I got a text saying that "an attempt was made to deliver a package." That is a blatant lie. An attempt was never made. I received no notice on my mailbox or door, I did not receive the door handlers they stick on your door when they come and you're not home -- nothing. I had nothing. Others in the main building received notices on their doors but I did not. The driver didn't even TRY to deliver.

    Today I got another email saying: "Hi Sandra! Your package is being delivered today!" I checked tracking online and got a completely different story (as has happened ad nauseum in the past). It said my package was on its way to the "Access Point" to another place in other words. I would have to go and pick up my package or wait days for them to redeliver. This is the kind of crap they pull and they don't do it once, twice, thrice, but over and over and over and over again. I took a chance and went against my convictions to stop dealing with companies who deal with UPS and gave it one last try -- and look at the crap I'm swimming in. So the package was on the truck yesterday... here at my address. The driver was too lazy to go to the other side of the building to deliver mine or maybe s/he was running late so no attempt was made to deliver.

    Today the package is "on its way" to the Access Point which is a block away. My options are pick it up when and if it ever gets there, or wait until Friday for redelivery (like I'm going to trust that again). UPS keeps telling me where my package ISN'T, but they can't tell me where my package IS. If you want an honest, educated opinion, boycott them. Their practices are not consumer friendly. Go with FedEx or even the USPS. I wouldn't trust them no matter what, ever again. You know how it goes... "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice... shame on me."

It was my husband's school books and he didn't get them until a week into class and then only because we hunted and found where they'd been delivered and went and they still had them!!! The second time they said we needed to come to the main UPS hub and pick up our package since the driver couldn't find our house!! So we did.

    A UPS driver broke our glass door yesterday morning by resting a 40 pound package against it, causing it to shatter. He proceeded to retrieve the package and re-delivered it around 4 PM to make it seem like he wasn't the one who broke the door. My neighbor two doors down witnessed the event and texted me. I contacted UPS at (800) 742-5877 to file a claim against our driver. A manager spoke with me and told me they would GPS track their truck and return my call within 24 hours. I have not received a reply and it is the next day.

    I have called the number over 8 times and been told each time a manager would return my call within an hour, and they never have. They won't tell me the name or contact info of the branch manager, or serve as help in any way. We will have to replace this glass door on the property we are renting. It could cost up to $500. I have gotten in contact with a lawyer to draft a formal letter of complaint. I will never be using UPS again, and I find their dishonesty disgusting.

    My experience with UPS has not been good. Multiple times my package has not been pick-up or delivered. Have to wait on hold (for 13 minutes) to speak with a manager only to get lip service. They tell you what you want to hear. I was told by a manager the driver will make a second attempt to delivered the package to find out the next day there was never a second attempt. I was told I would get a follow-up phone and yet again I was lied to because there was not a follow-up call. UPS IS NOT RELIABLE.

    Requested an immediate delivery because of an unexpected financial crisis. I even subscribed to the online where you can at least get a four hour window of when it will be delivered.This is crap, they say on the phone, "Oh there's no guarantee it will show that to you." My thought is why have my sign up for it then to begin with, "I did it because you recommended it to me." Reps on phone don't sound too concerned either when your package is delayed, giving half ** answers, saying there's nothing they can do... Will never use them, for a timely package again.

    I took the day off to accept a package that was scheduled to be delivered. At 11:00 am, a delivery exception was logged saying incorrect/incomplete address. I called the UPS 1-800 number. The address was correct and complete. It takes you 10 minutes to get through to a real person after being asked for corrections to my address which was already correct. A message was sent to the local branch and I was told I would be contacted within 1 hour. 1 hour later, no package, no call. I called the 1-800 number, told the same thing. Information on tracking was not updated since the local office needs to do that.

    I was told again I would be called within 1 hour by the local branch. Another hour goes by, no package, no call. I call the 1-800 number for the 3rd time. They said they are sending the note again to the local branch and I would be contacted within 30 minutes. 45 minutes later, no package, no phone call. I called the 1-800 number for the 4th time. The local branch has contacted the driver telling them that my address is correct and redeliver. Still no phone call to me. The 1-800 people are offshore and have no way to contact the local branches except by e-mail, no local phone number.

    I have no way to contact the local branch, only the 1-800 number. I have had the same address for 40 years, my mail is delivered here, my tax ID has this address, my driver's license has this address, it is searchable by Google. Yet, the UPS driver cannot locate my address? 3 days ago UPS delivered a package. The only thing I can assume is it is a new or relief driver with improper training, unfamiliar with our city or worse yet, doesn't care. The UPS business model needs to be fixed to support the customer. If I had a choice, I would not use UPS, but unfortunately when ordering, it is not up to me.

    IF YOU MUST USE UPS, EMPLOY DROP OFF AT A FACILITY, DO NOT USE MY UPS, OR PROVIDE ACCOUNT INFO. I signed up for ConsumerAffairs just for the pleasure of writing this review. As seems to be the case with many large companies, there is no common sense. More than that, they employ cash grabs as a means to increase revenue.

    I shipped a large package, both weighing, and measuring it in advance. I signed up for a UPS account and shipped online, making use of the pick up at my home option. The dimensions were 58in x 8in x 28in. Shipping cost me $109.**. The package arrived, and I forgot all about it. I wake up this morning, and check my account looking for a refund that I am expecting, and see a shiny new charge from UPS, $80.16. This post is already long enough, so I'll get to the point. UPS customer service claims that my package was selected "at random" to be audited.

    During this audit, the claim is that my package was 53in x 9in x 32in. I am not sure the methods UPS uses to measure, but I measured more than once, and round up, so... yeah. I even selected the "Large or Irregular package" option when pricing my shipment. The woman on the phone tried to tell me the "adjustment" was because with their audit measurements the package fell into their "large or irregular package" category. Go figure, a huge as box is considered large, earth-shattering development, thanks.

    I requested, AND received a refund, BUT as "a one-time courtesy." I imagine business who do not look closely, might miss an errant $80.**, but this is a pretty disgusting practice. Random audit, I am sure. They saw a freight sized package, and assumed I was a business they could slip one past. IF YOU MUST USE UPS, EMPLOY DROP OFF AT A FACILITY, DO NOT USE MY UPS, OR PROVIDE ACCOUNT INFO.

    Looks like most reviews of UPS are from individuals. I wanted to let people know UPS is no better for their corporate customers. They sent my company a six-figure invoice for one week's worth of shipping (should have been about 20K). They do this by scanning multiple boxes together to make it look like you shipped larger, heavier boxes, or by charging business-to-business shipments at residential rates.

    After selecting new glasses at a vision center 2 hours away by car, I was told the new glasses would be delivered in about a week. The order was processed ready for UPS in less than a week. UPS picked up the glasses 3 days later then held the glasses for 10 days at their site. The UPS excuse was the delivery address was a PO Box, though the UPS delivers M-F to that same post office which is where I get most of my packages. I was concerned when the new glasses failed to arrive and contacted the vision center. They provided a tracking number which showed the glasses never left the UPS pickup city.

    I called UPS and a customer service representative apologized and promised the glasses would arrive the next day. Remember, I was only 2 hours from the store. Instead, UPS sent the package on a tour of three states. Two days after the glasses were promised to be delivered, a UPS driver apparently tossed the package over the fence in my yard. I was close by in the house and never heard anyone attempt to contact me, not even a honking horn. And, the package was left outside with no covering when it was getting ready to rain. UPS used to tout itself as the "tightest ship in the shipping business" Well, that ship sank a long time ago! It took nearly 2 weeks to get a package from a site just two hours away.

    My experience with UPS has been far from great. I have four claims in the system one dating back to July 27, 2018. I’ve been on the phone everyday with a representative to receive information about my claim. I’ve had lost items and damaged goods and the experience has not been amazing to even consider using the services again. One of my claims were denied because they stated I didn’t pack it correctly and it was bubbled wrapped, packed with newspaper and clothing. Boxes were labeled fragile as well. Some boxes came completely ripped up with my items in clear places bags that I never used. Whatever happened to common courtesy if the box ripped open to tape the box up again.

    My 55 inch television completely destroyed. The whole glass is completely shattered. Fragile was marked on all items that needed to be handled with care and it seems like the package handlers do not care about the items because it does not belong to them. Processes are in place for people to follow why promote a company and how things are handled properly when that is not true. My television was deliberately broken. There is no way the package handler was not aware. It was in the original box and they should have taken time to handle it properly.

    With all the items that are shipped consistently UPS should provide more training or proper training so packages arrive to people in its original state. I’m not pleased and have items missing and it’s disappointing when you contact the damage department and they just say you didn’t package it properly and don’t try to go above and beyond when you paid for a service that did not deliver properly. I’m not interested in giving business to UPS anymore. It’s sad that you as the customer sometimes who may also work in customer service don’t receive the proper treatment with some of these companies and UPS is one of them. They do not have a corporate phone number and it’s hard to get anyone to assist you if you have a urgent need and just want answers and proper communication. I expected better from a huge corporation like UPS and I’m not happy with any of the service that was provided.

I spent more money to re-ship documents via FedEx. Eventually the person who signed for the UPS documents got it to the intended recipient, but that was several business days later.

    I paid for overnight. UPS refuses to refund me or give me the difference between overnight and 5 day delivery. Their reason is that once the package was found, I did not again request for a refund. I did not know that I had to, because they have a guarantee on their website and because I had already requested refunds on every conversation I had with them. They are saying that they did not become aware of the package actually being found until past the 15 days. Every time I call there is a different reason for me not to receive my refund, now it has been over a month.

    On the fourth day immediately after receiving the delivery attempted email, I saw the delivery truck on my street and approached the driver. He admitted that he had the package in his truck for four days but told me he does not attempt to deliver to brownstone houses because no one is ever home. The delivery person made no attempt to deliver until I personally asked him to deliver it. Someone was present to accept this delivery every day. This package would never have been delivered if I had not personally approached the delivery man and asked him to give it to me. I complained to UPS Customer Support and their only response (two days after I complained) was that my package had been delivered.

The package had a brokerage charge of $ 38.00 and for theft reasons I preferred not to leave money at my front door and requested my package to be dropped at my in-laws who live 10 mins away on Monday July 30 by leaving a note on my front door. UPS delivery guy/lady replied, "sorry out of route and ticked final try".

    On that said night (July 30) I went online and had the options of either paying $5 to re-route the package or pick up at location: UPS CUSTOMER CENTER - 65 Trillium Park PL ON, Kitchener Canada N2E1XI where my package will be held from Wednesday August 01 - Wednesday August 08. On Wednesday August 01 I went to pick my package up at 4 PM and the lady at the front desk said she sent my package to destruction, I requested her name over and over and she refused to provide me with her name (poor customer service). I asked her why my package was sent to destruction clearly I confirmed I was picking up my package today. She took the UPS note that was left on my door and destroyed it. Again I asked for her name and she refused to provide and kept saying the sender advised to send package to destruction. She provided me with customer service 1 800 number.

    When I called this number I spoke to Wendy at customer service who kept saying they were advised by sender to destroy and sorry but I have to contact the sender. I contacted the sender who in this case was Justice.com and spoke to a lady name Jennifer who advised that UPS claims customer abandon the package. Like really??? Why would I abandon my own package??? UPS clearly lied to both the customer and sender. After learning the sender did not advise UPS to no longer hold my package I called customer service again a second time. This time the lady said, "On July 30th you asked to pick your package up at 65 Trillium PL Kitchener and it will be held there until August 08." I reminded her I just went there and the lady who refused to give her name said I can't have my package because she sent it over to "good" or destruction whatever their term is.

    She then said I need to have the sender carry out an investigation. Why do I need to get the sender to carry out an investigation when clearly it's a screw up at UPS end. The lady sitting at the front desk knows exactly where she sent it. Why can't UPS customer service investigate??? I will not used or recommend UPS to any one. This was beyond the worst customer service I have received thus far. UPS please if you say to a customer that you will be holding a package for a particular time please, please, please, please do. If I walked into your UPS customer Center in Kitchener ON, Canada on August 09th for pick up and you said it was sent to destruction that 's fine but not on August 01.

    UPS made an attempt to deliver my package. I was unaware it would need a signature however that would not be a problem if the delivery could be made before 2 or after 6. I understand the drivers have routes but in my experience with other delivery companies if you call and leave a delivery instruction giving delivery hour options my experience is that the driver will take that into consideration. When I called UPS I was told they would not offer that option and that my only option was to wait until it was attempted as normal operations and then have it sent to a delivery drop location. The point of delivery is to not have to go pick it up otherwise I wouldn’t have had it shipped.

    UPS is a constant issue when they deliver in our area packages lost, rude customer service agents and just blatant disregard for their patron's needs. How can they expect working consumers to just sit at home and wait for them to decide to come and deliver the package or have someone waiting all day in their behalf. I do understand the concept of having routes but customer service should be considered and the route be modified if need be especially since I was told by the customer service agent delivery hours are from 7am to 7 pm and my request fell within that timeframe and was not unreasonable. After being persistent that the package be noted I was told it was noted but would be delivered following regular delivery operations.

Though Amazon refunded my purchase price, the refund will not show up in my bank account for 3 to 5 business days, but I can't afford to reorder these supplies until it does. So, I can't manage a life threatening condition because SurePost is too careless to train employees to read addresses and notice where they're delivering things (or they hire thieves - I hope this one enjoyed the lancets).

The next day (today) the supervisor guaranteed to us the package was back on the truck and would be delivered. Yet the driver reported online that the address was missing from the package so he could not deliver it. Then we were told that the package was not on the truck.

    And finally were told that our driveway was blocked. ALL LIES. For if the 'driveway' was blocked (NOT), he must have had the package on the truck so he knew where he needed to go. If the package was on the truck, why did he report that it was not on the truck. UPS is supposed to provide a delivery service. My home is totally accessible and always has been. I will never again select them as a delivery service and suggest nobody else does. They are dishonest and not a 'service' at all.

    My UPS tracking number said that my package was delivered at 7PM last night. Of course it was never delivered. Luckily I have cameras on my property so I played back the camera footage and I see the UPS truck pull up across the street that is on the side of my home. The UPS driver never get out of the truck. The driver sits there for about 4 minutes and then drives off. I assume he scanned my package but could not find my home and updated his system to show “delivered.” But again, the driver never gets out the truck to even try to look around to search for the right address.

    I saw no effort made to deliver my package except for the fact that he arrived on my street at the stated “delivery” time. I called UPS and was told that they can show “delivered” up to 36 hours before the package actually being delivered. Did not know this was a policy. I will be looking this up for myself. However, the following day the tracking number was later changed to show “out for delivery”. The verdict is still out on this but this review is just to share my experience and thank God I was smart enough to install exterior home cameras.

    I bought jewelry with a 1-2 days rush delivery order. It will not come until the July 23, 2018. It got shipped on the 18th and I need it at the 20th. So far UPS is doing a good job... for irritating me. 8 out of 10 deliveries I got from them are either late or a bit damaged. Don't expect your package to be on time when they are making a delivery. They are too slow. USPS is even more reliable than this. Remember UPS is not worth it. I even got an experience where it is raining and I came back home and found my package at the gate and not at the shade part (where there is a roof), and my package is soaking wet.

    UPS has completely disrespected potential safety issue it created! I sent keys and a security fob to a friend who planned to visit me this weekend in Boston. The package arrived 2 days LATE - basically destroyed and the keys and pass were not in it! Package had clearly been opened and retaped. Contact UPS and they will not do ANYTHING - even check to see if possibly keys had come out on conveyor belt and sent to "lost and found" some giant facility in the mid-west!!! Meanwhile someone (likely their employee) could have stolen keys and be breaking into my apartment as I write this message. Only option is to file a police complaint and have them investigate UPS staff for possible illegal activity. I expected so much more from this company and hope someone at UPS reads this and realizes how flawed their system is.

    UPS STORE IN CAMP VERDE, AZ - Any time I am not home when UPS arrives, they leave a receipt for me marked they will return with the package, or I can sign it and leave it on the door. This is not the first time, but the second+ time, I've waited for their return with the box. They don't ever have the box because the box is at the local UPS Store in Sedona. They just need to check the correct box, on the receipt. I have called them to discuss this and spoke with Beverly 928-567-4098, and she hangs up on me! Says something about the drivers and how they leave it, and they don't know where the box goes afterwards, on and on. Clearly, UPS needs to do some training or new training since the homeowner is waiting there to have the box delivered and don't want to leave the house in case!

    However, if they would just check the box indicating the item is waiting for them at the UPS Store, no worries! Also, the UPS delivery man didn't know what to do about checking the box as they are trained to check the box for redelivery only! Beverly talked in circles about the UPS guy not driving too much, and that the box would be waiting for me for x amount of days at the store. Well, all right then, just change the mark saying to go to the store and we'll be fine, but no they not allowed to check that box, the one that's correct! Strange goings on there, and an angry woman, Beverly, to boot is running the place. She doesn't have the patience, understanding, nor time set forth in her schedule to show which box to check... how 1st grade must we be. Beverly go to anger management or take a big vacation, soon!

    On Monday, 7/16/18, one of our Contractors (in VA) called UPS, at 11:39 AM, and scheduled a pick-up for a check that was to be sent OVERNIGHT for Tuesday Morning (7/17/18) delivery to our office in Rock Hill, SC. It was VERY IMPORTANT that this check be delivered on time, on TUESDAY! As you will see below, UPS failed to pick the letter/package up on Monday and didn't pick it up until Tuesday, late afternoon... On Wednesday at 11:00 am I called UPS because the check had still not arrived at our office... The representative, that was located in Guatemala by the way, told me it would arrive by 3:00 pm. At 3:10 pm I called UPS AGAIN and was then told that the package wasn't even in SC, that it was on a container in Kentucky and that it would not be delivered until THURSDAY!!!

    This was UNACCEPTABLE, but the representative was "uncaring" and said there was nothing he could do, which I guess not if the package is in KY and he's in Guatemala!!! I could have drove this check from VA to SC in a much shorter time, in one day, had I known what an ordeal this would have turned out to be!!! Now UPS is saying that it will FINALLY be delivered today (7/19/18) by 10:30 am, TWO DAYS LATE! Our Contractor took the $19+ out of the payment amount of the check to cover the OVERNIGHT delivery that NEVER happened! I am sorely disappointed in this company and will NEVER EVER USE THEM AGAIN!

    This was my second delivery with UPS. A few weeks ago a package was sent to me and the driver knocked and basically took off. I kept looking through the peephole and asking who was it. The driver came back a couple of hours later and did the same thing. I was ready to call the police when I noticed my neighbor across the hall come out of her apartment. That's when I opened the door and discovered that the package was left by the door. I guess if that is the procedure, even when there is someone home, so be it, but I do have a problem with the delivery person knocking and disappearing. I was not expecting a package, so opening my door to see who was knocking and disappearing was not safe. My second experience happened today July 18, 2018. My package was supposed to be delivered to my apartment and required a signature.

    I was stuck at home all day since they had until 8:00 pm to deliver the package. At 8:00 I checked the tracking to see why it was not delivered and saw that it had been delivered and signed for in the rent office at 3:00 pm. When I called to complain that I was home waiting all day and did not give instructions to deliver my package to the rent office, all I got was, "I'm sorry." The UPS representative asked me what was the address to the rent office. I told her it did not matter because it is not the same as my apartment address. This is terrible and the worst part is that they seem to get away with this bad customer service. I will avoid using them in the future.

    My business is a small business dependent on shipping accuracy and without damage to the goods. I have had multiple issues with UPS where shipments were severely damaged and not on time. Despite complaints and filing claims none have been resolved. The latest issue prompted me to file a complaint today. I had a time sensitive shipment that needed to arrive in Las Vegas by May 25th. We sent the package on the 21st. First the package ended up in Utah. When UPS was contacted they told me because of the holiday weekend it would not arrive until the 29th. On the 29th I was told the address was non-existent. Then I was told the suite number was wrong. Finally I told them to hold the package at the UPS facility in Las Vegas and I would arrange to have it picked up. When the courier arrived, they told them the package was lost.

    I immediately contacted my account rep who, to her credit, ran interference. Regardless, the merchandise had to be redone and sent overnight via FedEx. In the meantime I asked for a full reimbursement and return of the package when it was found and if it wasn't found I would file a claim for the full value of the contents. I was told UPS is not responsible for the value of the contents and would not pay a claim. I finally received a call 3.5 weeks after the package was originally shipped saying the package had been located and would be returned to me.

    The return address was confirmed with the UPS rep that called me. I received an email 2 days later stating the package had been successfully delivered... To the wrong address in Kansas City! I again contacted my account rep who located the package and had it returned, somewhat damaged, a week later. UPS had the audacity to charge me for delivery, a wrong address twice and return of the package. Needless to say I refused all payments. And, needless to say, I am not going to be using their services for quite some time.

At 5 PM, UPS called me to tell me the delivery is going to happen on the 18th (I live one town over), and gave me a seven hour delivery window. After asking to speak with a supervisor, I was able to reduce the window to three hours so I don't have to take the ENTIRE day off. They could have called me at any point during the day to let me know the delivery was not happening. They are very unprofessional, I assume because they have no accountability.

At this time I called the merchant and explained the situation to them and he tracked it and told me I should receive on 7/18/18. Reason being they paid for shipping. I asked was he going to be reimbursed something and he said once I receive the package to give him a call and I told him if I order anything else from them please do not use UPS.

    I'm irritated now because how did my package get from Bedford Park, which is less than 1/2 hour from my house to Alabama now Tennessee, so I want to report this to a higher authority. Every time I called and asked for an email address or phone number to corporate to complain about their poor service no one would give it to me. Someone from customer service would call me. Why is there no way complaints can be sent to corporate? I feel that is the reason they have so many negative reports because no one is being held accountable.

    I went to our local UPS store to return a package to the shipper. First, UPS was to pick this package up according to the shipper on 07/11/2018 at my location of which I waited all day for them to show up. They never did so. This return wouldn't have cost me anything if they had showed up on this date. Second - AT the UPS store I had this package shipped ground back to the shipper at a cost to me of $44.85 and on the printed receipt it was to be delivered on Monday 07/16/2018 by the end of the day. Third - The package NEVER ARRIVED AT THE SHIPPER on the date given for some unknown reason. Fourth - I called the UPS customer service helpline about this issue and I was advised to go back to the store that shipped it out for me for a REFUND.

    Fifth - So, I go back to the store where I shipped this from and I was informed that by ground delivery, they have five days to deliver the package of which isn't posted anywhere on their receipt nor anything said to me from any of the clerks working there. This is indeed very poor customer service on their part to say the least and because of their rotten service, I am out $44.85. Sixth - The UPS man finally showed up to pick up this return package on 07/13/2018 only TWO DAYS LATE. There is no logical excuse for this type of service at all from them.

    I received a message on my phone that UPS was unable to connect to deliver a package of auto parts from the US. It was supposed to be delivered to my friend's place as it is his car that is being restored. My phone number was on the billing form from the company ordered from. When I phoned I had the package redirected to my apartment on 10 July 2018 with the delivery time window as 1-5 PM. I had the customer service representative repeat my address back to me three times to make sure the address was correct as her line kept fading out. I received another message when the package was not delivered due to the driver not finding address which was inputted incorrectly at the dispatch center in Richmond BC. Apparently someone forgot to put the proper address of 1037 and instead put 037.

    The driver did not have the common sense to phone into the office to have them verify the address when he could not find 037 which does not exist. The other issue is that he or she tried to deliver in at 11:43 am instead of the time I was given. So the package was rescheduled for the 12 July 2018 from 2-5 pm as I was not available until then. Apparently these ill trained, uninformed drivers do not follow the delivery time schedules they are given - if they are given it at all. The driver tried to deliver it at 12:30 instead of the 2-5 pm window listed on their computer system and stuck a notice on the front apartment door which I did not see until five o'clock when I ventured out to check my mail.

    When I called to complain about this the CSR apologized for this and said the package would be sent to a nearby drop off point which I tried to find. I was given the wrong address as '55 Commercial Drive' which does not exist. The CSR confirmed the address twice when I asked her to repeat it. Not finding this, I called customer service and was told the address was "2055 Commercial Drive". Arriving there I was informed by the manager that he was not authorized to accept the "customs process fee" that this company charges and I phoned UPS again and paid via credit card.

    This is not the first time I have had to deal with this company and I would like to warn people to use another company if they want to send something. UPS is a poorly run company and its employees are poorly trained, they have no common sense and just seem to waste everyone's time. I prefer that companies I order from use FedEx or the national postal service such as Canada Post or USPS to send packages. At least you know that your mail or package will get there.

    UPS has credited my supplier for the lost and damaged goods, who in turn, credited me. I was pleasantly surprised that they resolved the issue so quickly. I am still very surprised that it happened, but am glad that they made things right.

    Original Review: July 13, 2018

    I have a small home business, selling screen printed and embroidered apparel. I frequently have apparel shipped directly to a local screen printer. Recently I placed an order for $4600 from one of my regular suppliers - several jerseys, shorts and socks for a local soccer league. 7 boxes shipped in late June - UPS delivered my order over 3 days, which was odd. Upon inspection, it was discovered that several jerseys and socks were severely damaged with rips, tears, and extreme grease/dirt, beyond repair, and many items were not delivered at all. The boxes had been retaped and it quickly became obvious that there had been a mishap in the UPS warehouse.

    It looks like a group of boxes got caught up in their sorting equipment - the boxes broke apart and the goods got caught up in the conveyor belt. They gathered up the products after they stomped all over them, carelessly filled up the boxes, retaped them and sent them on their way without trying to figure out what goes in each box. In addition to the damaged product, I received items from someone else's shipments - a pink bra, ladies floral shirt and a handful of lands end embroidered shirts for a school in my area in one of the boxes! And I’m sure someone around here or in the Chicago area has a bunch of our jerseys and socks.

    I understand accidents happen but to allow severely damaged and mixed up shipments to be delivered, without saying a word about it, is inconceivable to me. Were the supervisors sleeping during their shift that day? My supplier has started a claim, with photos that I provided to them. I am hoping that UPS rectifies this situation and reimburses my supplier for the lost and damaged goods, and therefore my supplier will reimburse me for the replacement product I had to reorder in order for me to meet the deliver deadline.

If you have something important coming that is needed as soon as possible, you'd better sit at home all day and wait! They are very inconsistent and may or may not have you sign for it, never any notice or way of knowing if they'll just keep your package and leave a measly "sorry we missed you" note if you happen to not be home. Their access points where the packages go are hours away. Why can't they just leave it on the porch or at the doorstep like they do the other half of the time?

    The luggage scanned in at Spokane Wa. and was then sent on to Richmond BC [Customs] where it sat for the next 17 days before it was finally sent back arriving on July 6. My local UPS stated I would get a refund since the bag could not be delivered on time. WRONG. When I applied for a refund it was denied.

You can't have dispatch reach out to verify if it is on board the truck and just not scanned in? The investigation itself will take up to 8 business days. This is a terrible system and based off this poor experience I will never use this company again.

On 7/5/18, UPS attempted delivery at 3:50PM. It is now 2:08PM on 7/6/18 and UPS has not delivered. The delivery requires a signature and I am frustrated and mad that UPS cannot do a better job of estimating delivery times.

    Since 1997 our UPS driver just decided to deliver to a business in the village as we did not have an assigned street address, we lived with that. Then we got E911 assigned street numbers, around the same time our regular driver retired. Since then the drivers have all ignored our address and returned parcels to the depot. We are correctly placed on Google Maps. Packages then get returned to sender or someone tells them to drop them at the nearest village business and hope we check there. No amount of friendly calm discussion with the staff in Santa Fe seems to affect this behaviour. We are told the drivers don’t have GPS so can’t find our house. Isn’t that what they are in business to do? Find an address and deliver a package to that address? UPS just does not care. Office Depot, DHL, Yardyard and FedEx deliver to us.

    Folks you just need to keep their eyes open on shipping with UPS. I had a group of four packages to ship. No issue with three. The fourth package of the group was a 96 inch long - 1 1/2 inch square curtain rod. With bubble wrap it measured out by UPS at 106 inches long x 3 x 3. The basic charge for the curtain rod was $74.35. However, because it exceeded 96 inches in length, by UPS formula it fell into the "Large Package Fee" category which means they bill it at a 90 pound maximum rate.

    Thus, a "large package fee" of $80 was added to the basic fee of $74.35 for a total of $154.35 for the 106 inch long 3 x 3 package. It had to go with the other three packages so I had no choice but to pay. Later thinking about it, it seemed to be "double billing" to me. If I had to pay the billable 90 pound large package fee because of the 106 inches in length why was I also charged the basic $74.35? I contacted UPS via email but only got referred back to the same facility that charged me the two fees in the first place. As expected they disagreed that it was double billing. The simple curtain rod was delivered safely but at a rate of $154.35 so keep your eyes open!!!

    Not surprised one bit to see such mixed reviews for UPS. I've been using them to ship for seven years, and recently they lost an extremely valuable package that was delivered a month after the date it was supposed to be. I just spent over an hour on the phone and was transferred 5 times to try to get some sort of answer, or apology, or reimbursement. Only to find that UPS doesn't give a ** about your package, you, or how UPS not delivering it when promised affects your business, life, or well being. And they don't much care that they lost a package for a whole month so long as it finally made its way. They lost a loyal customer tonight. I don't do business like that, I respect and take care of my clients. And all I need is the same in anyone I do business with. Tried to give 0 stars.

    We ordered bluefin crabs to be delivered on the 3rd for a party we had planned on the 4th. 20 people coming with a bunch of setup. 11am we get a call from the crab company that UPS didn't load 40 boxes on to the plane and one of them was my package. I call UPS they say it has been rerouted and will be delivered on time. My friend works for UPS so I called him. The package was still in Pennsylvania with no plan to be delivered on the correct day. I now have canceled our party and I'm sure it will take a long time to get my money back. My friends and I will have to make new plans for the 4th.

    This was something I was very excited about as I have never forked out the money to do so. Most quality companies when they make a mistake step up to rectify the issue. UPS knew on the 2nd the shipment wasn't going to make it and didn't notify anyone till it was too late to do anything about it. I will never order food items overnight again. Hope this helps others in trusting an overnight company to produce.

    I recently moved to NYC from Australia, alone and 6 months pregnant. I knew a heat spell was coming so I bought an aircon on Amazon... I knew it was going to arrive mid heat spell, but I had planned to stay in a hotel for the 2 days beforehand. The day before delivery (Monday July 2) I received an email from UPS advising my delivery was on track and scheduled for the expected date of July 3 in the afternoon. I planned accordingly, taking the day off work.

    The next day, Tuesday July 3, I get an email at 7 am advising it was rescheduled for the following Monday July 9. Noticing this on waking, I called them immediately at 8 am. The UPS agent advised, that yes the package was delayed upon my request. At which point I clarified I would not have done that. My health and sanity was relying on this delivery. (I even had to reset my password minutes before calling to double check what was happening). UPS logged my request and advised that I would be called by 10 am. I waited until 10.30 and then tried calling back. The UPS representative did not have any updates and advised to just keep my line open. I did until 11.30. I called back to learn:

    My package was tagged as 'holiday.' My package was sitting in a storage container and would not be accessible until after the public holiday. There was no option for me to pick up my package. For health reasons, I needed an aircon ASAP. I now have to hire someone to take me shopping so they can lift the heavy boxes to bring it home and get it installed, and this is after I've already lost money cause I tried to do the right thing by UPS and took the day off work. I have lost a lot of money, many many tears and been really stressed out... all because someone did not want to deliver items on July 3 between 2.30-6.30 pm.

    Like many other great peoples and package receivers. I also have had horrible service from UPS, here in Hawaii. Although this is a great paradise and most of this land is filled with Aloha, that motto does NOT apply to UPS. UPS doesn't deliver packages here. They drive by your place, most of the time when you're at home and say you were "Not Available", which really means they were running late or too lazy to get out of the truck... Then you can call the 1-800-UPS STINKS call center and they say it was your fault they almost ran you over going by your place, too bad you didn't get your package going on 4-5 days late, and to quit your ** & crying. But if you want your late package one must go out by the Airport at 10:30 pm at night and see "The Gate Guard Guy" he might have your package.

    By this time... I've had enough. Will not use UPS, called the shipper to get a full refund for the package, and warn everybody to not use UPS, because frankly... they don't care, are not worried, totally unprofessional, and can give two craps about what I, you or anyone else thinks... They still get away with it. The Gate Guard can keep my package. I got a full refund!!! That's my two cents. Now I can go on with my wonderful life in Paradise. Thanks for reading.

They did this and the driver did not scan it back in and their customer service will not help find it. As far as I am concerned this driver stole my package and it cannot be found and UPS won't look for it. They refer me back to where I ordered the item from and they see it was delivered. It was not. It was delivered to the wrong place and signed for by a stranger in a manager's office and now I have to pay for something I didn't get. I will not order anything that is coming from UPS again.

    Beware - Do not use the UPS feature "Change Delivery/Schedule for Another Day" if you would like to receive your packages. I have attempted to use this feature twice - on both occasions I did not receive my package. The latest occurrence I was to receive two packages on Friday, June 22. With the inclement weather and being out of town I attempted to reschedule for Monday, June 25. I was also to receive two additional packages that day that were for that original delivery day. However, I got the two packages for that day, but no packages rescheduled from Friday.

    I called UPS and was told they would be delivered "today" but was told they must be with another driver. I explained that I live in a rural area and knew this was not true. He "guaranteed" me they would be delivered. I made another attempt to "reschedule" to certify they would be delivered Tuesday. Received text saying they would be delivered today, then "status" = "Exception". I called and then bottom line - they have lost the packages which showed they were received at the facility on Friday, but between Friday and Monday they have been "lost."

If you choose to go to diff office, you will be charged for relocating your package.

And also that there was $4,226.00 missing from the package. When I called UPS to file a claim they told me it will take about 3 to four days for the claim to go through. It has been almost two months and I still have not heard anything from UPS. And when I called them they told me they can only pay me $1,000.00 for the claim because I dropped it off at a UPS Store.

    I told them even though I have a receipt and paperwork showing that the box got damage while it was in UPS possession and that it was trapped by UPS. They told me it does not matter if you paid insurance. They will not pay more than a $1,000.00. I told them, "Whats the purpose of the insurance and why do you offer it if you will not pay more than a $1,000.00." UPS told me they only pay the insurance if I give the box to a driver. UPS does not say that they will only pay $1,000.00 if the box is drop off at a UPS store in any of their receipts. Now UPS does not want to pay for a service I paid for so I am out $4,226.00.

I knew for a fact that the delivery driver didn't knock on the door or anything, because someone is always in the living room. Likewise, the TV was on and you can see it clear as day from the front porch. The driver obviously just left the package without any disregard as to get a signature or anything.

This is also a follow up to my post/complaint yesterday. At 10 am, I saw 4 info notices by the gate of my compound. Being a "luxury" community, we have a very sophisticated intercom system with very visible and clear instructions on how to look up directory. Also, the wall says dial #0000 to get to the service office which opens at 9:00 am. What are the unfortunate odds of having all 4 addressee not available? Or worst case scenario, driver could easily just dialed the office for them to open the gate.

    But since it's a lot easier and more convenient for driver/delivery to just take all the notices at the gate, all these deliveries have to be picked from a UPS access point by customers. Is there any penalty or reward whether or not a delivery was done? I doubt so. Hence, the driver attitude and work ethic to the detriment of poor customers. It's probably now a widespread venomous culture within UPS that's why all these complaints. Most folks do online shopping for the convenience of home delivery. This UPS employee practice of literally and obliterately leaving just info notices to make their working lives convenient is unacceptable and defeats the purpose of online shopping. This has to stop or one day it will catch up on your company. Thank you for paying attention to all of us here.

Next morning received a delivery confirmation from UPS stating that my package would be delivered by 8 p.m. at the end of the day and that it had been out for delivery since 6 a.m. By 5 p.m. I received a notice from Amazon stating that UPS might be late with my package due to it being shipped to the wrong facility. When I called UPS to find out what was happening with my package I was informed that it would still be delivered to the UPS Store 1 mile away from me by 8 p.m. even though the store was closing at 7 p.m. By 9 p.m. I received another message which confirmed what I already knew, that that UPS did not deliver my package.

    When I went back to the UPS website and looked up the tracking number for the package it said that my package that was originally delivered to the wrong facility have been brought back to the wrong facility and was going to be delivered on the 18th. When I logged into my UPS it stated that my package was going to be delivered on the 16th which I know is probably not going to happen due to the fact that the facility that UPS sent my package to is closed on Saturday and Sundays. It is now more likely that this package that I needed, I mean absolutely needed by today will not be available for pick up until Monday, 3 days after it was supposed to be delivered.

    It is extremely aggravating that I cannot get a straight answer as to why my package was delivered to the wrong facility in the first place, why it is now probably going to take until Monday to get my package that was supposed to be here today, or if my package will even be delivered at all since it has been sent back to what UPS claims is the wrong facility.

For example twice in 24 hours, the driver has left packages at my mailbox which is 1700 ft away (a quarter mile from my house). Poor training and poor quality assurance is reflected here.

The driver never show up at my place but record he did try to deliver, package incorrectly sorted and sent to a joy-ride in the country after I ask them to hold it at their center for pick-up, and once they found the package after a day, they still try to deliver when I specifically asked them to hold it at their center for pick-up! In total, a week of delay, and had to call them 5 time, on top of all the email exchange. These guys are so incompetent that they are BY FAR THE WORST CARRIER I KNOW!

    Ordered several items from one company. They shipped separately, 3 items with UPS and 1 item 2 days later with FedEx. I received the 1 item from FedEx 4 days ago. My package from UPS has said "Out for delivery" for 4 days now. Customer service is a joke. I've called 3 times, none of their reps speak clear English, and all say my package is still at my local office but will be delivered by end of business. Each day I call. Still no package. Won't allow me to open an investigation because it continues to say out for delivery. Will be contacting local office to be reimbursed tomorrow.

    I just find it odd that their regular ground shipping gets delivered on time, but when people pay for Next Day Air they split hairs on what exactly "next day" means. A mail order pharmacy had to ship my mother's medication via Next Day Air, NJ to NY and the medication was supposed to be delivered on a Saturday yet tracking showed it was just loaded onto the truck to sit there in the heat until Monday.

    UPS's "reasoning" was the pharmacy "missed the cutoff time" for the Saturday morning delivery, these people knew fully well the package contained medication, but they chose to take the money for the Next Day Air and do nothing. No one cares what the hell your "cutoff time" is when you're shipping to a neighboring state that's barely 1-2 hours away and no one cares what the hell your "cutoff time" is when they're waiting on things like medication. So get it through your thick greedy heads that people are catching on to your ruse.

    A package came up on my phone as delivered to front door. I look and no package. I call customer service and am told to contact sender and asked if I looked hard enough. I get the supervisor and the same story! I tell her that I have video surveillance and no... it was mis-delivered and why am I going through sender when it is clearly a delivery issue. They refused to try to locate package until I contact sender. Apparently, the honest person that received it did UPS's job for them and also wrote on package Not Larch!! I live on Kilnwood Place and there is Kilnwood lane, Kilnwood CT and Kingwood and the driver delivers to Larch? It is up to the person that received it to fix their mistake?!?! I work for USPS and if we misdeliver we always go above and beyond to locate it. We NEVER ask the customer to go through a ridiculous process to contact sender! VERY frustrating and unbelievable!
