    2 OF 3 PKGS ARRIVED. Started at 2:37 - it is now 6:42. Since my customer needs the items this weekend I have called 3 times to go through phone hell to tell the same story 3 times: "It is out for delivery" and "They will call you in 1 hour." They do not provide a direct line to the service center they are contacting and you can't reach the same person - so you start ALL OVER AGAIN! I've been on for 25 mins and the SUPERVISOR is now calling them directly. Latest is they will call me back in 45 mins max to tell me if they will still deliver... I gave my cell phone in hopes of a return call and better yet - my customer's product. 1 phone call would have prevented this...

    I ordered something on eBay. It was shipped quickly. I received a slip from UPS... I wasn't home and it called for a signature. Odd, the slip was attached to my bottom right corner of my door, near the sidewalk. I didn't see it right away and when I did, it was blank... nothing checked and no address for pick up. So I called UPS... and called... and called... sworn at BY SUPERVISORS, laughed at, called names, ignored, hung up on over and over. No one cared, but when I got mad and after about 20 calls I was mad, I was called abusive.

    So finally, a rude supervisor decided to assist. She told me to read the back of the UPS slip and sign the back. This gives permission to the driver to use that signature and leave the package without me being present. She said to put a note with it for him to check the back. I did... still not left. I called back (many times) and was told it would be delivered the next day - no show... I was there ALL DAY. 1 vacation day down the tubes. So, they gave me another delivery day and I stayed home again, opened my blinds to see outside and kept watch. Well, they must have come at a brief time I wasn't "at my post." They didn't knock or ring the bell (and my car was outside... obvious I was home) but put another blank sticker on the door. WHAT???

    So I called over and over... NO ONE CARES. I finally got a woman who said, "The notes show how much you have called. You will never get your package now. We hate you!" I asked over and over for the address to pick it up, as you can't find it on Google. I finally went on Facebook. I found UPS and PM'd with Sara who promised me (have in writing) that the package would be delivered Saturday at 8 AM. Never happened and she won't reply any longer. So, after about 60 calls, I got the phone # and address for the pickup location and was told, "Come on down... open until 5. We have your package." I took my handyman, hired to install as a witness and am glad I did.

    They said, "Oh, you have a lot of notes on your account. I need to call a supervisor." I said, I don't want to argue... I just need my package. 15 minutes later, out comes someone named Dawn and a supervisor who refused to give his name, and who said, "We are pissed and won't give you your package... it's going back to the shipper Monday." I said, "you can't do that. You can't tamper with the mail - unlawful!" He didn't care and withheld the package. The original woman said, "You will never get it, and it's beautiful... will look nice in my kitchen." They laughed but that made it pretty obvious that they opened it. Dawn used a lame excuse, "We can't get to it. It's in one of our trailers and we can't find the key!" REALLY???

    It has now gone back to the shipper and I am still calling... well over 70 calls. They refuse to refund the shipping and will not get the package back. They STOLE my package! I was told they wouldn't deliver it, as I was abusing the drivers. I NEVER saw or spoke to a driver! I am filing suit. No work ethic... corrupt! Beware! UPS is no longer a decent company!

    A 100 lb woman, Pam **, at UPS tried to deliver a 121 lb package (1 of 2) to my 3rd floor apartment. She knocked on my door for help due to the size/weight of the box, as if it is the customer's job to carry boxes. My daughter didn't answer the door so Pam took the box to the office. No call. No note a delivery was attempted. Yesterday, 3/22/16, package 2 of 2 arrived and Pam had help this time -- it was a tall package. Her supervisor, Lou **, told Pam she was not allowed to go to the office and deliver box 1 because it was signed for and not their responsibility!! This futon bed is for my 15 year-old son who is 6.2 and is visiting next week. The office can't deliver 1 of 2 because of liability procedures. Shame on UPS!! Will never use a company that uses UPS again!!

    I ordered a laptop through an Amazon seller, and before it arrived I realized it was not what I needed. I contacted Amazon and the seller to arrange for a refund and was told by Amazon to contact UPS to stop the shipment and have it turned around. They warned me I might have to pay a fee for this and to ask first. When I called UPS, the customer service person said yes, I could stop the shipment and send it back. I asked if there would be a fee and she said she didn't think so, but she was going to double check. When she came back, she told me that I could not turn the shipment around, but would have to wait until it was delivered and refuse delivery. Which meant I had to wait 3 days before it could be sent back.

    I refused the delivery on Friday, March 18. It is now Tuesday, and the package has been sitting in Secaucus NJ since Saturday. When I called UPS to find out why the package was still there, they told me the information I had was wrong and that the package was in transit. I read the tracking information to her exactly as it was on the screen, including the three entries from Saturday, Monday and today, saying the package had been received in NJ, to which she said there was no shipping on Saturday. I asked when the package would be returned to the shipper, and she told me I had to wait until NEXT MONDAY. So, apparently the package is going to sit in NJ for however many days, because why? No one knows. Meantime, I can't get my refund until they receive the package next week. This is unacceptable.

    I'm disabled and don't get out, except for rare doctor appointments. Thus my caretaker and I are here during UPS delivery hours.

    Package 1: On March 17, 2016 UPS said they would be delivering a package. We waited for them to arrive and as I said we're home and waiting. Instead of seeing a truck stop and someone come up to our door, we got an email saying they missed us and the package would be at an UPS Access Point. I contacted UPS explaining (A) we were here, (B) didn't see the truck come here (might ended up at a similar but thus wrong address), and (C) I can't get out to come to an Access Point.

    The person promised to schedule a redelivery for the package for March 18, 2016. Come March 18, 2016 and again the UPS truck did NOT appear. I called and they promised the package would arrive on March 21, 2016. Again NO truck stopped in front of our home and no one came to the door to deliver the package. Three promised dates and NO ONE SHOWED UP FOR ANY OF THEM.

    Package 2: This is a package from Amazon.com. Like the first package, UPS had an original date of March 18, 2016. Thus package 1 and 2 should show up. As no one from UPS stopped by using any form of transportation, the package went to the Access Point, which might as well be 1,000 miles away! I called UPS and they promised it would arrive on March 21, 2016, which it did NOT.

    QUESTION: Is this UPS Access Point a way for UPS drivers to get out of doing their stops? I ask this based upon my experience of THREE times drivers were to stop by and they never did drive to our location, stop, and come to the door. What they did do was go to an UPS Access Point. Based upon these observations, I'm wondering if the UPS driver looks at Access Points as a way to save gasoline, reduce wear on the truck, and a way to do something other than deliver packages? I don't know and this speculation is just my wondering. I'd love to know what the driver was doing instead of coming here on say Monday, March 21, 2016 when the UPS 800 # promised both packages would arrive. PLEASE NOTE: We have ZERO issues with other delivery companies, such as Amazon Now, Amazon Couriers (different from Amazon Now), FedEx, DHL, USPS. These firms deliver on their first attempt 95% of the time with us!

    I like Amazon. I'm elderly and handicapped. The carrier lied - he stated that my porch was visible and I wasn't home. BS! My dogs live indoors and let me know when there's a truck. I got the runaround from UPS. Finally I threatened to file to the higher ups. Neither was there a tag saying attempted delivery. I finally got hold of a live person - and another carrier was coming out... But it was Monday or Tuesday... Still not funny. Apparently new drivers or p/t carriers want to take off early on Friday. The first carrier gave a generic description, but he didn't describe it right. I want the guy to be fired and will file a restraining order if I feel threatened by him.

    I checked "UPS complaints" - good lord, lots and lots of complaints. Times are tough, doesn't mean UPS carriers (and USPS are like that) - don't short customers, esp. elderly and handicapped. I stay home most of the time, and the zip code I'm at apparently there's lots of thefts. No reason to screw me. Fire that thug who thinks s/he can get away with telling lies. A slight inconvenience can be life saving or an important item. It took over 5 days to get a 2 day package and lots of stress. Where can we go to take care of this matter? I don't give in to the runaround and will not tolerate it.

    I ordered helmet for my kids as a gift and I was given an estimate date of 3/8/2016 for arrival of my package. As I kept waiting for my package until the estimated arrival, it did not arrived at my house. Checked the tracking info and shows it was delivered 3/1/2016. I checked my camera on my front gate on that date that shows on my tracking that it was put on my front porch @ 1230, as it records movements, and did not show nobody.

    I called UPS to complain and all I got was wait 8 days for the investigation to complete and they will give me a call. Now, it is about 12 days from the time I called and nothing was done. I called every day to find out what happened to my complain and all I got was to call the shipper where I ordered the helmets due to UPS don't have the right to informed the customer what happened to the package according to the customer representative I was talking to. I was like "WHAT." My conclusion is that UPS is BAD, BAD, BAD. They don't care any customer complaint.

    We properly packed our 55 inch television and shipped it to our son in Greensboro NC. The driver that picked up the package said that we should not insure it because we are not manufacturers and UPS won't cover it anyway. So we took his advice and did not insure the TV. Turns out that UPS damaged TV along the way.

    We've spoken to the gentleman that loaded the box onto the truck for delivery and he said the box was in good shape when it was loaded. The driver showed up to deliver the TV and the box was open. The driver proceeded to show our son the damaged that was caused and said that he would file a possible damage report. He filed it and brought a copy of the report to our son. The driver told us that UPS doesn't like to pay for claims and will more than likely deny ours as well. We tried anyway! After filing the claim, it was like pulling teeth to get UPS to respond to our claim. Finally, we called again and they said that the claim was denied.

    So to sum it all up... 1. UPS told us not to add insurance on the box. 2. The UPS truck loader said the box was in good shape when he loaded it in Greensboro NC. 3. The driver recognized that the TV was damaged on the way to our son's house and even filed a possible damage report. 4. UPS doesn't want to pay. This is just wrong. $1000 plus $160 for shipping is now completely down the drain. This has to be resolved properly.

    This is the second time in 4 months that UPS has delivered my goods to the wrong address. UPS sends me an email stating that they have delivered to my address, I rush home from work only to be left empty handed. I always provide them with the correct address which they always confirm yet they still decide to deliver it "who knows where." USPS always delivers to my correct address, FedEx delivers to the correct address. So why do companies continue you use the useless UPS? I'm fed up and hope to hell I never have to use them again. Luckily my second package is being delivered by FedEx.

    I did everything I needed to do to open this account with CA just to make this complaint... I just created a personal account with UPS. I go to create my first shipment. As a first time user, I take advantage of the "i" icons. Upon using first icon, I was unable to return to shipment page, was kicked out and had to start over again. None of my info was saved even though I clicked on save. I was kicked out 2 more times for various reasons, each time having to start from scratch. On my 4th attempt I made it to the end and it returned me to a page I already completed, then kicked me out again. I should have read the reviews from others before signing on with UPS. I will certainly be sharing this experience with everyone I know even though others point out UPS doesn't care.

    T-Mobile uses this company to delivery your expensive phones but fail to provide proper delivery and provide false information about where your page is at. I had purchased Galaxy S7. I was not home, they left an info note to the door, said they left it at a local Access Point, something new UPS is doing. I went there to retrieve the phone but they were close as they close early. I called UPS and they said the item will be available the next business day. So next day I went back to the Access Point to pick up my package. They tell me the driver never drop the package there.

    I call UPS and they told me that I needed to pick up from the HUB in Gardena. I wasn't able to pick up since it was already late and they close at 6. At the end they refused to delivery my package, they sent it back to T-Mobile made up lies about me refusing a phone. UPS is so stupid, how can I refuse my own package specially if I'm paying for shipping next day air and a phone in which I'm financing. UPS is full of **! Here's the tracking info so you guys can see for yourself the stupidity UPS does with customers' package **.

    I ordered an optical lens on a Friday (selecting expedited delivery). The vendor chose to send the parcel through UPS. The UPS driver decided to leave a note indicating a signature requirement for delivery; however, checked the boxes indicating if I signed the back of the form, they would leave the parcel there the following business day. I signed the form and left it on the front door. On returning home, I found a new notice (as well as the one I had signed from the previous day left there as well). The notice stated the same thing, that I could sign the back of the form and they would redeliver the following day; however, as this was their second attempt, another failed delivery would return the parcel to the sender. I called UPS to file a complaint.

    The agent on the phone barely spoke intelligible English and I could barely understand what they were saying. I asked to speak to a supervisor. The individual kept trying to talk over me as I had to finally raise my tone and again (5th time) ask for a supervisor. The individual stayed on the line (you could literally hear them breathing) and after approximately 20 minutes, someone picked up the phone and said, "This is Derek, how may I help you?" I was able to get, "Yes, I would..." and Derek hung up. I called back.

    After another runaround of trying to get through to a supervisor, one came online and after explaining to them the incompetence I was experiencing, he informed me I could pick my package up this evening from the UPS facility in Virginia Beach at 1390 Air Rail Ave. He informed me that he would get in contact with them, report the problem and they would call me back so that I could confirm that they would have my parcel waiting for me. I confirmed with the supervisor, "So I will be able to pick up my package this evening then?" And he again stated that I could and it would be no problem, he just needed to contact them to let them know that I'd be coming in to pick up the package.

    After I hung up, I checked the hours for the UPS at 1390 Air Rail Ave, and it closes at 6 pm. So, in sum - UPS has some severe integrity issues. Multiple misleading and false notices on my door, disregard for customer service by personnel, and blatant incompetence, or outright lies just to get someone off the phone. I would recommend using USPS, FedEx, or another carrier over these folks any day of the week, which is what I will start requiring on any vendor I will be dealing with in the future.

    I got an email stating I had a package arriving requiring a signature for delivery. The package was a gift since I didn't ship anything. Took off work to wait the majority of the day to sign for the package. Halfway through the day the delivery driver said my address was incorrect, although the email I received had my correct shipping address. I changed the address on the website by reentering it the same way it was already written. Called the company after the delivery hours to see what happened.

    Miguel told me, "Sorry for the inconvenience and it would be delivered by the end of the day." Within 15 minutes I got a phone call from a lady with attitude stating the driver was done for the day. Miguel was incorrect and it would not be delivered until the next day unless I decided to go pick it up. I noticed online if I decided to have it delivered the following day, I would be charged $5 for a delivery fee. These guys are a constant disappointment. If a package is ever delivered on time, it is usually damaged. A previous reviewer was correct, they could care less about customer service.

    Sent a package to a business from IL to FL on 3/10/16. On 3/15/16 when I checked the tracking on the UPS website, the package was not delivered because "receiver has moved". I called back on 3/15/16 and added the suite number to the delivery address of the recipient. On 3/16/16, on the tracking site of UPS, I received the exact same message that the "receiver has moved". I called the receiver who verified the address that I revised and the fact that UPS never attempted delivery. If an attempt was made and the receiver refused the delivery, the UPS tracking would have stated so. I called UPS Customer Service on the phone and it has been hell since then. Incompetent people who would care less about your package, asking repeatedly if you are the sender or the receiver. Promises made and never delivered.

    Finally I get a call from a hostile person at UPS customer service that was again asking repeatedly if I am the sender or the receiver. Short of telling me to go to hell, he left me hanging there not knowing anything new about future delivery or why the package was not delivered in the right address after the delivery address was expanded. If you want your package to be delivered, never use UPS. I will use Federal Express that has been much more reliable for me. UPS RIVALS THE POST OFFICE IN ERRORS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

    Driver left a notice with an address for me to go pick up my delivery. I could barely read the address. Now the notice left was right next to the note I have on the front door to ring my bell that's labeled with my apartment number. I called UPS and reported that this was not the first time! Someone by the name Janice called me claiming to be a supervisor. I informed her that I'm a disabled woman and am home ALL day and night and I even tested my doorbell to see if it's working and it was.

    This is how this so called supervisor rectified this problem. She said she's looking at the system indicates that the driver was parked in front of my house. I corrected her because I saw the truck from my window. The truck NEVER parks in front of the building. They park illegally on the corner of the block that intersects mine. So I proved to her that I can pretty much expect NON TRUTHS to come from them. She also told me to go pick it up. REALLY?! I thought that was the job of the driver!! Also, to call the shipper and tell them to take me off the drop off delivery location. So NOW my disabled self has to WALK to where the driver left my package and back home. I've owned 4 businesses since my disability and this is A SORRY EXCUSE for rectifying a problem. THIS HAPPENED ALL BECAUSE THE DRIVER COULDN'T RING A STINKING DOORBELL!

    I have moved in September to Philipsburg, PA. My husband has been getting packages at our new address for 6 to 8 months. Recently I have had problems with 4 separate orders not making it to my house until a week to a week and half later than they were suppose to be there. Not to mention the contents of this package is supposed to be kept cold. Which I mentioned to the reps on the phone, not really a concern of theirs, passing the buck is a concern for them. I placed an order from a Lab on March 4th, I was told I would get it Tuesday, March 7th. Today is March 14th, and I still don't have it yet, real quick service UPS. My husband and I have probably called about this package about 4 to 5 times. There is no reason for this crappy service!!

    UPS employees keep relabeling my packages to other addresses instead of delivering it to my house (which is the correct address given). You call them and ask them where your package is and they will name off all these address it went to and was refused at, then you ask why the package is being relabeled? They will tell you it is computer error. Let's see, it is taking a human to label my package and put the incorrect address in the system.

    Then after no answers to why this is happening, they will give you a supervisor supposedly and they go through the same crap "we have to get you in our system". After 3 other times I should be at the top of this system in bold letters as much trouble as I have had. Can anyone in this company do their job??? Last I heard they attempted to deliver my package at my old address. I call Altoona and I'm told "if you live in Philipsburg we don't take care of your package, that is someone else in St. College". You call St. College and they say the same thing. How in the world does a company still work like this and keep in business.

    All I will say is that I will never in the future would I want to have UPS as my delivery service. They do not care about their customers or service. I purchased a Galaxy S6 with T-Mobile, and I was assured that I would get my package on Friday. Sure enough I check my tracking info, and it says that my package was delayed? I called T-Mobile, and asked what was the problem? And they told me they did their part, but UPS delayed my package when I paid 24.99 for overnight shipping. I placed my order on a Wednesday, and got an email that my package was processed, but for some reason they decided to delay my package? I called customer service and of course they just kiss your butt, and they give no answer at all. They told me I had to have T-Mobile contact them to get a confirmation that I got overnight shipping. I sent them a screenshot and still they said that isn't enough proof?

    I emailed UPS and eventually they just stop replying to you, no matter what you say they will not care at all. I never make reviews but I wanted everyone to know that UPS is nothing but fraud and lazy customer service. If you do decide to do business with them, don't get overnight shipping. Just be patient or wait or have USPS deliver your package. I know nothing is perfect, but if I paid 25 dollars for overnight shipping I should of gotten that service. But instead they made me wait an extra 5 days. Take my advice and don't pay extra for that service or do business with them.

    We just purchased raw land in Somerset CA. It is a rural area and we do not have a physical address for our property yet. Our local post office is where ALL of our mail/packages get delivered. We receive on average 2-3 deliveries per week. If it is not possible to be delivered to our PO Box, we choose General Delivery and it is held for up to 1 month for us at the post. FedEx and DHL have no issues with this. UPS will only make the delivery if it is being shipped "smart post", apparently some deal worked out between UPS & USPS. If a package is shipped regular UPS ground, they will not make the delivery! This means that I have to make a 3hr round trip to Sacramento just to pick up my package. The best part is that it's only available for pick up Mon-Fri 3:30pm-6pm!!!

    It makes no sense at all. The post that they refuse to deliver to is in town right off the highway. They demand a physical address other than the post office that the driver passes multiple times each day. Once we get our address, UPS is going to wish they could drop it off at the post, instead they will be traversing a 3.5 mile mountain dirt/mud road that they'll probably get stuck on. I informed UPS of this as well, they still don't care. Even though they will not deliver the package, they still load/unload the package from the delivery truck everyday! This means the package drives past the post office a handful of times each day without being dropped off. A picture of stupidity.

    Asked UPS to hold the package for us at their warehouse until we get back in town in 2 weeks. Was told they couldn't hold our package for us and they would be returning it to the shipper! Zero customer caring/service! I said, "can't you just stick the package in a corner of your massive warehouse until we are back in town?" Was told no! UPS has stopped caring! Have never had 1 issue with FedEx, the delivery is ALWAYS made! Shouldn't have to have UPS's customer service on speed dial. Have never had to contact any other shipper because of non delivery.

Each hour ticks by and I call and I get a different reason for the delay each time. Finally, they say to me, "Hey if you rush you can make it to depot and pick up your 90-pound box instead of us delivering it to you." Lazy incompetent buggers but I need the birthday gift so I go do just that. I drive a half hour each way and when I get to the depot what do they tell me? "Yeah, we don't have your package." UPS, Useless Package Service. All the customer service people could do was apologize for their stupidity and offer me a $20 shipping credit (** am I going to do with that?!). Meanwhile, a little boy went without his birthday gift thanks to UPS's lack of professionalism and lazy good for nothing drivers. Thanks **.

    I have a business from home. Multiple times I have paid to reschedule delivery because I'm disabled & can't carry packages from the access point. They keep refunding my money for the rescheduling of the packages and apologizing. Today UPS rings the door downstairs and never comes up. I call UPS customer service and got a nasty response that the driver didn't scan my package yet. The last 2 times they left notices at 10am and didn't scan or deliver to access point til 6:50pm which is 5 minutes before they close.

    I scheduled a pickup early in the evening and it appeared that they had forgotten about it, so I called them back. I got disconnected the first time and the second time I called back and spoke with a really annoying person who got annoyed with me when I told him that he didn't need the answers to all of the questions he was asking (impertinent). He got me his supervisor and the supervisor went to contact the local branch/driver to see where he was. He comes back on the phone and says that the person with whom he spoke had told him that he had already spoken with me and that they would be there momentarily. It appeared that he was taking some sort of position against the caller (me), based on someone already having spoken with me (as if I was insanely impatient and would call and go over the whole story twice in 20 minutes just for the hell of it).

    When I sent my daughter her credit card via UPS I had no idea about UPS' practice of rerouting packages to old addresses they keep on file. The package label envelope was damaged in transit such that the shipping address was no longer legible. UPS then took it upon themselves to look up a previous address in their database (old apartment address) and sent the package with daughter's credit card to someone else. UPS never notified me that they damaged the package and had an illegible address. I could have given them the correct address over the phone. They gambled on sending it to an old address, wtf?? No apology and the investigator was rude not just to me but the UPS agent who was helping me!!! The UPS agent that helped me actually filed a complaint against the UPS investigator!!

    UPS has decided that it's beneficial to drop packages at the Post Office for delivery. They're too lazy to actually deliver to an actual address. Too cheap. I don't know. Well what happens when the post office only deals with PO boxes? The package gets sent back to the shipper. UPS has always refused to deliver to PO boxes. You need a physical address to have delivery with UPS. Think about it. I've dealt with several shipments where I explicitly tell the merchant who uses UPS NOT to ship with SurePost. Somehow UPS overrides the request. I've spent hours on the phone trying to sort it out and the merchant usually ends up re-shipping through the postal service. Totally ridiculous, and I'll be dealing with FedEx or some other shipper from now on.

    Ugh! UPS and its forced-down-your-throat "enhanced residential service" is a nightmare. The company apparently changed its terms and conditions to leaving your package at an independent UPS store (which, by the way, the one I talked to said it is not affiliated with UPS) for "my convenience" and without my consent or beforehand knowledge.

    I live in an apartment complex where most packages are left at the leasing office. Not UPS, it is apparently now in charge of all that is and the lowly customers can chase down packages or go without! What a business concept. At least UPS is making USPS look good! So I've called to request my package be delivered to the address on the label. Customer service said they would do that. Somebody at UPS lied to me, because UPS refused to deliver my package. They insisted I pick it up. I am not able to do that.

    I called again and was told a supervisor would call me in an hour. No call. I asked for an email address when I called for the third time. They have none. I don't know if this is really the CEO David Abney's email, but there is a webpage with his and 7 other VP's emails on it. Dabney@ups.com. Mr. Abney, I will be asking all businesses I use to not use UPS. I have found UPS to be an untrustworthy company that does not provide the services it was paid to do.

Customer in Louisiana was only one that received the fan severely damaged and the crate and cardboard missing. UPS denied my claim, because I did not know the thickness of the cardboard. I responded I knew the thickness of the pallet. Why was the disappearance of the pallet the fan was screwed to, not a concern for UPS?

    Because I'm pretty sure it's all for the employees rather than the people, aka customers, who keep their business alive. First let me just say that I'm 8 months pregnant and I live with my disabled mother. I had a king sized mattress delivered to my house and in this wind and rain storm, the box was left by my gate. No knock on the door to notify us that it was here, and had he knocked I would have asked for help to just bring it through the door, not all the way to the room. And get this I call UPS and they tell me it is not their job to knock and notify, or to even carry heavy items even over 50lbs in the house. I got no apology, and an answer that left me speechless. It's not their job?

    The lady on the phone had the audacity to tell me to call next time in the morning to request it. I'm sorry but if you're going to provide a delivery service, the service should be better than that. There are people all over the world who are not able to carry these packages into their houses and we have to ask for it? I would have thought it came with the job description. So delivery service just drops off packages and nothing else? I work in retail and my title is sales associate however I am required to go above and beyond for my customers, offering is part of my job and no I don't get paid more for it. I'm pretty sure UPS drivers get paid more than I do and they do just as their title says. Well then they did do their job, regardless of the people who pay for their service, that need their help!

    My Mother and I were able to slide the mattress in slowly but surely. An hour later, my mother is out of breath and on her breathing machine, and I'm in my doctor's office waiting for my sonogram to make sure I didn't hurt the baby in my tummy with my 17 month old son as I type this. I'm glad that my package isn't broken or damaged which is why I gave them 2 stars instead of 1. However, the way I see it right now is that the package I'm carrying is far more important.

    I spoke with UPS after they failed to deliver a package. They left a missed package notice on my door saying it was going to be left at a "Access Point". Well I'm not sure what an Access point is but it's NOT a UPS location. I regularly have packages delivered to my home and live only .5 miles from a main UPS hub. So I was surprised that they elected to deliver a package addressed to me to some in my opinion random business more than 4 miles away. I sent my wife to pick up the package. She said she was not comfortable going into some random business asking if we had a package there.

    We have real concerns about safety. Who owns this business? Do they do background checks on their employees? What's their security protocols for storing packages? Why would UPS not leave a phone number only an address? UPS did not have any answers for me on these issues. They did tell me I could open a MY UPS account so I could set preferences, I'm not sure why I need a UPS account to just get a package delivered to my house? UPS seems completely disconnected from their customer base, even at the main Hub I get marginal service at best. I now have to wait another few days to receive my package and who knows if the driver will leave it or not. It's up to them. The package is from the company I work for. It's a critical part for a customer who I have a trip scheduled to see. I guess they will just have to wait.

    UPS Ground Freight (UPSGF) abuses its tariff in violation of public policy. This complaint is the result of my six month struggle with UPSGF. Many acquaintances have commented that they would have abandoned this claim, and only because I was a retired lawyer who had the time and knowledge to sue UPSGF was settlement achieved on the eve of trial date.

    1. UPSGF unscrupulously employs customer signed delivery receipts to deny claims. In July 2015, I paid $392 to a UPS store for packing/shipping/$2,000 extra value to transport a 4x4 painting from Raleigh to Denver. The receipt stated: We guarantee your package if we pack it. Upon arrival, the driver wanted to be on his way and asked me to sign a delivery receipt which I did without reading. Unpacking the crate took 1+ hours and I discovered the frame was broken, which was confirmed two days later by UPSGF's own inspector. After duly processing the $1,000 claim per UPSGF instructions, the claim was denied because the signed delivery receipt would indicate the shipment was delivered in the same condition for transport by UPS Freight.

    At my request the Raleigh UPS Store disputed the denial and assured UPS that this painting was not damaged upon arrival at our store, was not damaged in the packing process, or when it was picked up by the UPS Freight driver. The UPSGF claims agent, who never saw the painting or packaging, ignored this new evidence, again asserting All damage must be noted at the time of delivery. Our declination is based on the fact this shipment delivered clear without any exceptions indicated on the delivery receipt.

    UPSGF well knew that Section 11(3) of its own Tariff (UPGF 102-I) stated that Delivery receipts without written notice of damage are (only) prima facie evidence that the shipment was delivered in good condition. UPSGF's spacious second denial of this claim, in the face of evidence which overcame its prima facie defense, demonstrates bad faith abuse of this tariff provision.
    \

    2. UPSGF's Diversion Tactic to Avoid Responsibility. My claim having been twice denied, I filed a lawsuit in Denver Small Claims Court on December 10, 2015. In January of 2016 UPSGF shifted tactics and asserted a new Tariff defense (in a corollary BBB case) that my only claim was against the Raleigh UPS Store, which like other UPS Stores, are independently owned and operated businesses and are not agents of UPS. (Tariff 15) Whether a UPS Store is an independent contractor or an agent of UPS is a question of fact for a court to decide; a tariff which usurps this issue is against public policy.

    UPS advertises itself as a nationwide delivery service with some 5,000 UPS Stores in every state of the union. To the ordinary consumer the UPS Store and UPS corporate are one in the same, just as McDonald's franchisees and McDonald's, Inc are the same. Tariff 15 seeks to create a Russian nesting doll maze of 5,000 separate entities for customers to navigate. UPSGF Tariff 15 is against public policy on other grounds as well. The dispute in my case (and many others) was between the consignee/owner of the damaged goods and UPSGF. These are the real parties in interest, not the UPS Store which has not been damaged. Moreover, a UPS Store has an inherent conflict of interest when asserting a claim against UPSGF since it is a franchisee subject to oversight and subservience to the UPS conglomerate.

    Yet another flaw in Tariff 15 is many UPS Store/Shippers reside in a distant state from the complaining customer. Even should some long arm statutes allow suing the UPS Store in the consumers resident state, the UPS Store would have no assets in the customer's state of residence. Another suit would have to be filed in the Stores resident state to enforce a judgment hoping there would be Store assets subject to levy.

    Conclusion: My 6 month long struggle resulted in a full settlement by UPSGF on the eve of a February 2 trial date. I expended some 25+ hours reviewing UPSGF's 77 page tariff, procuring witness statements, and researching the complexities of the Carmack Amendment (which exempts UPSGF from the penalties state consumer protection statutes would otherwise apply). The ordinary consumer, especially one who pays for extra value coverage, should not have to run this gauntlet of spurious defenses.

Bars on the windows, no sign lit at night and a collection of not-so-favorable guys hanging by the front door smoking. Seven times I was promised calls by supervisors about this, seven times nothing. I had a really nice light fixture returned to shipper because I wouldn't go in that store (after dark is my only chance and the place is frankly, not safe). I bought a giant "deck box" that locks and put it on the porch for packages. Two signs by door. Not good enough. Still takes packages to porn store. They require a signature in "my neighborhood." (Today's interaction was the first time they admitted to redlining their services based on their impressions of a neighborhood. I live in a nice neighborhood. Teachers, architects, engineers, cops).

    I tried to get signature release, but because UPS has deemed my neighborhood not safe, they won't offer that for me. Yes folks, UPS changes its available service (but not its prices) based on what THEY think of your neighborhood. Yet they have no problem sending a woman to a disgusting porn store to pick up her packages. My Amazon Prime has become worthless. Except I paid for it. UPS is the sole reason it's worthless. Fourteen times over three months I have asked to speak to a supervisor or someone who cares about the whole access point mess and no one has ever called. No one. Not a soul. Now that I have in writing (online chat) that they discriminate due to neighborhoods, I guess the FTC is the next stop. Because one thing for sure, UPS does not give a damn about a customer. They're like the phone company of old. “We don't care, we don't have to.” Well UPS, where's Ma Bell now?

    There is no way any UPS driver came here today. I also asked her "Shouldn't there have been a note left at my door if I did not answer?" She says yes. I confirmed there is no note. Her only resolution was to give me address all the way on the other side of town, where I can now burn my own gasoline, and pick up my package.

After a while it said something strange I've forgotten what so I called up customer service who told me that I wasn't in when they wanted to deliver and my parcel was being returned to sender. First of all I was in all day. Second of all if I had been out I still wouldn't have been happy that they returned my jeans because delivery companies have to deal with this kind of thing all the time. They can't just send your item back, most have pickup points and cards that they put through your letter box. But no my parcel was just simply returned to sender. Now as these jeans were in the sale they had now sold out and I couldn't order another pair and had to pay twice the price for a non-sale pair because of their incompetence.

    When they were delivered again I asked if they could phone me when they are here as I live in an apartment block and most delivery companies simply phone me, but apparently they aren't allowed to phone me. Why not? Okay so a few days ago I ordered a pair of Timberlands. Again I kept checking the tracking info excited to receive my product. I've just checked and it again says I wasn't in at nine this morning. Both me and my boyfriend have again been in all day. And now it says delivering to a collection point but they won't say when it will be available for pick up at that collection point and it's been two days! So how do I know they aren't just returning my books again!

    I hate how my money has gone, but I don't revive my parcel. And if they return to sender again, again I have a situation where the boots were in the sale and no longer have my size. And my other parcel that they have delivered apparently arrived but there is no trace of it so I lost £160 as I had to reorder the books I need for university because they apparently delivered it. From now on if I see that UPS are delivering I am not ordering! I couldn't be more unhappy with their customer service or their delivery methods.

    On the first day of "delivery" of my package I left a note on the front door nicely asking the driver if he could please deliver my package to the back door so that I could sign for it. I have done this with other shipping companies and have never had any problems. Unfortunately with UPS for whatever reason the driver never came to the back door. He just left a notice on the FRONT DOOR stating "no one was available to sign for the package" even though I was home waiting to sign for the package. I called UPS and explained the situation to a customer service rep who made notes in the UPS system instructing the driver to deliver the package to the back door so that I could sign for the package.

    On the second day of "delivery" the UPS driver never came to the back door. Completely ignored the instructions left in the UPS system and once again left a notice on the FRONT DOOR stating "no one was available to sign for the package" even though I was home waiting to sign for the package again. So I called UPS again and explained the situation yet again to another customer service rep who then told me that they would transfer me over to a supervisor which would take about a minute. I was on hold for a supervisor for 35 minutes before I finally gave up and hung up the phone. I called back because I was frustrated at this point and I need the package because it is for my business.

    When I called back I explained the problem to yet another customer service rep who said to me "I am sorry this happened to you. I will get you a supervisor as soon as possible." The customer service rep put me on hold for a couple minutes and finally I spoke to a very nice supervisor at UPS by the name of Debbie. Debbie understood the situation completely and apologized to me for the terrible experience I was having. She stated that she could not understand why this package was not being delivered to the back door as requested as it is fully documented in the UPS system. Debbie stated that she "would be filing a complaint with the UPS shipping port that this package was going out from to find out why the driver was not delivering this package to the back door". Debbie "assured me that someone would call me from the facility to get to the bottom of the problem and would make sure the driver delivered the package to the back door".

    It is now the third day of "delivery". I am waiting on my package yet again. I did NOT receive a call from anyone at UPS and when I called back this morning to find out why I was told that "the case was closed and that the driver was told to deliver the package to the back door." When I asked to speak with Debbie again who was the supervisor I spoke with yesterday I was told that "they (UPS rep) cannot transfer me to this UPS supervisor" even though they transferred me to her just yesterday. After reading the other consumer reports on here I can see that I am not the only one having this serious problem with UPS. With this level of unprofessionalism I do not understand how UPS is still in business. In the future I will never use UPS again and I will make sure that my items are shipped with other companies. I hope that this review helps other consumers out there so that they can avoid problems like this.

    On Feb 10, 2016 my experience with UPS was horrendous and after speaking with their supervisor, she was defending the delivery man instead of defending the customer. I ordered from Amazon and it was to arrive Feb 8 in the evening. I ordered two items, a steel breadbox and a canvas clothes closet. I received the bread box with no problem but they did not send the clothes closet. It wasn't very heavy, it was a tall and thin package.

    I called UPS on this and they said the delivery man couldn't deliver on Feb 8, so I told them make it after 5 in the evening as I work and need traveling time. On Feb 10, 2016 I get done with work and going on the bus, get a call from UPS saying the delivery man is right there. I said "I am not home yet, give me until at least 5:15 p.m." He was already there and put the package in the screen door and for some reason the main door came open. My alarm went off and I live on a busy street where neighbors would definitely complain.

    I was on my way home and my door was wide open, package was on the floor of my porch, when I said specifically I won't be home till around 5:30, need traveling time. UPS said the driver had to be somewhere else at 5:30 and too bad. Not only did I have to pay an alarm fee $25 for him pushing open the door and to deal with upset neighbors for the noise of the alarm. I talked to a supervisor later but she was defending the driver, couldn't care less about the customer, worried about him being on time at 5:30, he had someplace else to deliver. I will not order ever again. I am disgusted by how this was handled. I will never trust UPS again!

    Absolutely disgusting! I wasn't home the day they were supposed to deliver and instead of making another attempt as FedEx does, they left it at an access point not too far from home. Downside is my licence's address is not updated so the gift my girlfriend bought me for my birthday could not be picked up by me. She lives in Massachusetts. Her name was on the package. I had her tell UPS to pick it up and redeliver it to me at home because if I'm there, I can sign for it. GO figure. Then, they tell her it'll be two business days to pick it up. Really? *sigh* Whatever.

    This was on a Thursday we requested a redelivery. Tuesday comes and it's four days later, five if you count Sunday. NO pick up from the access point. She calls and "complains" (and that's putting it nicely). The person says "how about 7?" And so 7pm comes and goes and she calls again and come to find out they have it in the truck and the lady says "the driver will be getting a hold of him." And lo and behold THAT'S a lie too! Lie LIE LIEEE! It's constant lies! They have been ** around too long. If it were medication, I'd be dead! But they don't care! It is unacceptable! HOW are they still in business?!?

    I was waiting for a package that never arrived. When the sender called UPS he was told that I rejected the package. When I called I was told that they attempted to deliver it but there was nobody home. They said they left a notice. They kept it for 5 days and then without even trying to notify anyone they returned the package to the sender for which I got a $105 invoice. Initially they charged a $100 to ship one single document and they couldn't even try call us to let us know that the package couldn't be delivered or that they had it on hold. They returned it without notifying and then charged for it again. In total we end up paying more than $200 for a package that was never delivered. And if that wasn't enough their supervisor was unhelpful and even rude. She raised her voice at me when I called to complain.

    I have never been so frustrated with trying to obtain a package! My fiance and I ordered items from Apple and they were supposed to be delivered on a Thursday. He waited around all day and then in the hour that he had to leave to pick me up at the train the driver came by the house and of course we weren't home. The driver left one of those post it sticky notes that said "Sorry we missed you." But they neglected to check off any of the follow up boxes. I went online and switched for the package to be delivered to the Access Point close to my house.

    The next morning I received a voicemail stating that I actually had 3 individual packages and that I would have to select all of them to be switched to the Access Point or they would be sent back to shipper. I went online and switched the other 2 boxes to be sent to the Access Point. I went to check online and it said that 1 package would be there for Friday and the other 2 would be delivered to my house on Monday. Later that day I called the 800 number to verify the status of my packages and after 15 minutes of holding and using the voice operated system that talks in circles I finally got to speak to a live person. She then told me the same thing that was online. I told her that this was not correct and all my packages were supposed to go to the Access Point for pick up because I didn't want the driver to go by my house again and not have anyone be home. Her solution was for me to just keep checking online.

    Now my fiance has gone to the Access Point to retrieve the 1 package that was there. The woman said "Hopefully the other boxes would arrive within 30-45 minutes" so he waited around. One delivery truck arrived and they didn't take any packages off of the truck so he asked the woman what to do and she took his phone number and said she would call when they arrived but that they are closing early due to inclement weather today. Now hundreds of dollars of merchandise is just hanging in limbo because no one can tell us where our packages are.

    First and foremost, the UPS phone system is the most frustrating, patronizing and exasperating system in the world. If you want to speak to an agent, you have to give your tracking number and then you get a recording of the pkg status. If you ask for a customer service rep again, then you are basically told, this is the most updated info so speaking to an agent is not going to yield any other information. I can't speak for anyone else but I'm calling because the info you just told me doesn't answer my question. At Fedex, you are treating like a person and get through to an agent with or without a tracking number. During the holidays, there was no wait to speak to a helpful operator. With UPS the wait time was anywhere between 15-45 minutes. It's an embarrassment how they conduct business.

    As far as deliveries to access points: A package I was expecting on Jan. 29th was sent to an access point. I called and asked that it be redelivered. They said it would be 5 business days after the request. When my fiancé came home I recounted the story and suggested I just go get it, so I called and asked to cancel the re-delivery. Agent said it was no problem. I can just go to the access point and pick up pkg. Sounds simple enough, but this is UPS after all and it was anything but simple. When I got to store clerk said pkg was not there. I insisted they look again and they said, "UPS advised us pkg was refused and is to be returned to sender." I said "no, I was told by UPS I can just pick it up" and he said "No". It seems cancelling the re-delivery request translated into pkg refused, return to sender.

    Well after 45 mins on the phone I got a supervisor who acknowledged the error and asked to speak to store owner, who guess what still refused to give me my pkg so I had to wait till Monday until UPS could issue a revised electronic notice to access point to release the pkg. Now on Monday 2/1 I called to ask how something like this can be avoided for the future. Agent told me that I should register for UPS My Choice, and I can select the access point I'd like my packages delivered to. I signed up and filled out my preferences and thought I averted the crisis with the 4 upcoming shipments. Well, remember this is UPS, so on Tues. 2/2, I got an alert that said they weren't able to deliver to the requested access point, so delivery will be delayed and they will attempt to redeliver on Wed. 2/3. Strike 1.

    Now I got 3 other alerts that said 3 pkgs were delivered to the access point. (The same one that the fourth pkg couldn't be delivered to.) Well guess what. The access point is no longer an access point but UPS insisted pkgs were delivered there if that's what the alert said. Totally frustrated I walked home and lo and behold the 3 pkgs were actually delivered to my home. Now I get back on the phone and ask what can I do to reroute the 4th pkg. They tell me to pay $40 to upgrade to my choice premium. That will allow me change the delivery address. I sign up, pay my money, and attempt to change delivery address, and keep getting an error message.

    I speak to 4 agents. All each one gives me different information and finally, a supervisor gets on the line and says, "I'm sorry. Because of the request to deliver to an access point, you aren't able to change the delivery address", but he said he would send a message to local facility advising them to override the request and deliver to my home. Great. I wake up happy that last pkg would finally arrive, but NO. The facility didn't do their update overnight so they never got the message to change delivery address, so guess what. This pkg will be going on day 3 of attempted deliveries.

    Based on what happened, I asked to cancel my choice premium membership so what do you think happened, the recording says "please tell me your tracking number." I ask for customer service and it says "you will need a tracking number." I do this 6 times till I finally get someone with a brain, who put me on hold and connected me to a live person. I don't have any special instructions for Fedex, and they always manage to deliver without any problems at all.

    UPS is, as most people know, a delivery service used by many companies. Amazon being one of them. I happen to be a person who has a decent amount of business with Amazon. Now all was relatively decent with getting my packages until I fell for UPS' new scam. They offered, online, for me to sign up on their site for UPS My Choice. This allows you to see delivery windows, change delivery dates, etc. Sounds great right? Well, what happened is during the enrollment process they have you choose a drop off point for your packages. There is no option to ignore this part of the sign up, it Must be done. So living in apartments I chose the office, believing that things would go as they always had. My packages to me, if I am home and to the office if I am not.

    Unfortunately! That is not the case. The packages were to always be dropped off at the office, whether I was home or not. Never a notice on my door to go get them or an attempted delivery. I have spent hours on the phone complaining to the company before they told me it was their UPS My Choice program and that the driver gets to drop off the packages at the office. I could if I wanted, opt to have the packages dropped in a select (UPS CHOSEN< NOT MY CHOICE) few other locations. All these locations are outside. Like, my front door, back door, side door, patio, etc. Each of these locations are for the driver to dump my stuff on the ground and leave without a signature from me or knock on the door or even a notice of delivery.

    You actually waive your rights to claim loss, if your packages are stolen, by selecting any of these options. There are not other options. NONE. Just an office location, varies outdoor locations and if you have a doorman??. All options revoke your rights to claim damage or loss. (Just trying to make this clear). Now if some of you are thinking, there has to be another choice where they 'have' to give the package to you before dropping off at the office, or dumping on the ground. No, there is not. My Choice has specified options set up by UPS. They only offer relinquishing your signature or dropping off in an office or Depot location. If any of you get a package over 100 pounds, Good luck getting it home in one piece on your own. Again, not UPS' responsibility, because of the waiver in UPS My Choice.

    After going through their technical department, customer service and lodging complaints over this ridiculous program, I eventually reached someone in the local depot who suggested I delete my UPS Choice account, if possible. I deleted the account and now am waiting to see on the next delivery if I will still have the MY Choice crap, holding up my packages.

    End result. Do not sign up for UPS My Choice and if you already have and are wondering why you cannot get your packages safely delivered to you with the usual signature required. Please lodge a complaint with the company so they fix this system. I am not the only one affected in my neighborhood. Most of the people who have this program do not receive notices or their packages anymore and have to chase them down either at depots or other places the driver chose to leave them at. P.S. Once and only once I chose my front door, just to see what would happen. The driver sure enough dropped my packages off outside and took off without even a word of his arrival! I was watching through the kitchen window.

And then we requested to return the parcel to sender, we have called over 20 times to local and Chinese UPS, they kept promising the parcel were sending back.

    After 3 weeks, the tracking shows the parcel was quarantined and both sender and receiver abandoned the parcel. We kept calling local and Chinese UPS until they picked our parcel again. But just for returning my original parcel, they are delaying it for one month. The local UPS contact details are **; And Chinese UPS contact details are **. It's very disastrous and unacceptable.

    I shipped a package via UPS thru my company to my mom, by the time she received it, a lot of the items were damaged. This isn't the first time when using them that their drivers don't give a crap (I had fragile all over the package) and just toss your items all around. Then when you go to file a claim they denied the claim as always. They have no problem taking your money, but they won't hold their driver accountable for their deliveries. Products we ship thru have been seen having fragile stickers all over them and the drivers will still toss the package out of the truck. I will use FedEx from now on. I suggest if you don't want your package to get to its destination all messed up then you're better off going thru FedEx. It might cost more but at least your items won't be damaged.

    A company I purchased from on Amazon used UPS to ship this product. UPS has apparently changed their delivery system I have since found out the hard way. They will only attempt delivery once and then give it to an access point aka random business. I was home when delivery was "attempted". They never rang the bell and they never rang the other 15 bells in my building like they normally do if someone is not home. Normally they leave my packages at the door, but apparently the company requested I sign for a toilet stool. Not knowing they would not leave it, that I had to sign for it or that it would be at a random business. I left town to bury my grandmother, only to come back and find out that my package was at some business.

    And when I found out where it was, I went directly to the place. And when they didn't know anything about it, even though their owner ** signed for it. I called UPS who swore it was at the business even though the business said it was not. UPS eventually admitted that they had no idea where my package was. They asked for my number so they could call their warehouse where it might be, and they would call me back in one hour. 7.5 hours later no phone call. Then at 10pm they call when I'm in bed with my ringer off because I have to be awake at the crack of dawn and no reliable professional business would ever call that late. And now I find out that my product has been returned and the reason says "refused". I never refused anything! And now I have nothing and apparently my product is in IL on its way back to the sender. UPS used to be reliable, but with this new policy change, they suck. Extremely unhappy.

    I have multiple jobs. I was supposed to receive a rush package on Thursday. The driver went to the building next door. I had to go to work Friday and could not wait at home to receive the package (which would not require a signature). On Saturday I could not do my job because I did not receive the package that day nor the day before. I postponed my job to Tuesday. The package was then according to UPS sent to an address in another city that I lived at over a year ago. Not having the package on Tuesday I lost $200 because I was again not able to do my job.

    On Wednesday I left three notes all around my building for the UPS man, the last note on my front door saying to please leave the package. I live upstairs in a four unit building, all the people I live with are elderly and can barely walk up the stairs, so no one would steal my package. The package contains art supplies to teach children at a low-income school in the community. MY gardener knows what I do, my neighbors know what I do, no one would want to steal my ** package. I got a flyer that day from UPS in my mailbox downstairs, the delivery man ignored my notes and possibly didn't even walk up the stairs to my apartment. I followed the directions on the note from UPS the next day, taking the morning off of my other job to drive 45 min away to pick up the package at a specified address between specified times.

    The package was not there, it was on the truck being delivered to my address which I was not at because I was at the UPS store like the UPS note told me to do. Then UPS charges my employer two extra times because the package is taking so long to get to me. This my first impression with the company that hired me, making me look bad because it is costing them money. It is now a week later and I have again taken the day off of my other job to wait at home for the package. At 1 pm, UPS usually comes to my neighborhood between 11am and 1pm, I call UPS and the person on the phone says the package will be delivered between 5 and 6pm. I have a meeting at 6pm and cannot be at home. So therefore I will not get the package. The person on the phone has no record of the person in conversation I had with another UPS worker the day before, where UPS admits they sent the package to the wrong city for a few days earlier this week.

    No matter what I write it cannot really convey my disgust with UPS. First and foremost, I agree that vendors should be contacted and informed that if they use UPS they will lose your business. Second UPS CEO does not give a hoot about what happens in his company. UPS fosters, encourages and promotes a culture of unaccountability beyond what I have seen in most companies of that size and profitability. I am a small business owner and my business has been severely affected by their incompetence. I wanted to report my package lost with the vendor and place another order but it is out of stock with no ETA. Thus I am at UPS mercy; my package has been lost for 5 days (2nd day delivery).

    The excuses have ranged from: "It is in a frozen trailer" (in Northern Virginia, where we had around 17" of snow last week); "We have a process, and we'll let you know when we have an update; we had a weather disruption, we'll let you know when we locate it" while insisting they know where the package is which is a contradiction; to the trailer is inaccessible. UPS seems not to have many issues delivering in Quebec, Alaska and other cold regions which begs the question why they cannot do their job after six days one storm in many years in Northern Virginia. The so called process is so full of failure points for which UPS refuses to accept responsibility that I hope that refusal to accept responsibility helps them to go out of business one day in the immediate future.

    Six days after the weather disruption the Chantilly location in Northern Virginia is still not making packages available for pick up (I do not even expect UPS to deliver them). The government is back to work; freight trucks are doing their deliveries; planes are flying; people are back to work but the UPS Chantilly location Reston center has their trailers frozen. The managers of this location hanged up on me; he also refused to transfer me to his manager. The so called executive customer support (404-828-4900, my case manager) team has done absolutely nothing for me except to stand behind Chantilly manager's lack of performance. Correction, I forgot to mention they offer to read the updates on the UPS.com site because, in their minds, I am illiterate and I cannot read every time that the last update is no update.

    For the last 3 days I was told I was going to get my package. The truth is that the famous process is so inexistent they do not know where my package is, apparently their scanners do not work and technology is not part of their process. In summary, as of today I still do not have my 2nd day delivery package and UPS is full of incompetent people that refuse to offer any customers support that really solves these types of issues.

I received an email from QVC stating that my honeybells will be delivered via UPS January 21, 2016. I thought I was so fortunate because we had a prediction of snow headed to Maryland. UPS were suppose to deliver them on January 21 at the end of the day so it said on the internet.

    No delivery in sight, we got unexpected snow January 22 the next night. No delivery! We got big snow Friday morning and all day Saturday. I knew they were not going to be delivered but the internet said a Monday delivery would be expected. I called Monday and the agent swore up and down it would be delivered Tuesday. Tuesday came again with the apologies due to severe weather, it would be there before 7:00 pm. I called again the same runaround. Wednesday I got same agent who stayed the same nonsense conversation, she was shocked when I called her a liar! She was the same agent who lies the first time because I recognized her voice.

    Again she claimed my honeybells were on the truck and would be delivered Wednesday. Talked to another agent who told me they were on the truck again and would be delivered even up until 9:00pm. So glad I didn't hold my breath. Meanwhile, the regular mail was being delivered. 7 FedEx trucks were in my neighborhood, but 71st they are still sticking to their guns. Thursday January 28 2016 my fiance just called to tell me our honeybells had arrived. He tasted one and said they were not sweet. Well I'll just have to wait until I get home to see.

Up to now, January 28th no one from the central office in Houston has contacted me to let me know about the status but I contacted and that is when I was told to contact the delivery company to place a loss complaint.

I told him he needed to contact UPS about this. They have such requirements to make a claim with all these different pictures you had to have.

    Ultimately he just did not have the pic with the Label and tracking # taped to the box because he had thrown it out. He didn't know any better. But THEY do. Why the picture of the label would matter is beyond me. There is no reason in the world why a package should arrive in complete shambles like this one! They clearly smashed the package but their default is to continue to deny the claim until you simply give up. Nice job UPS. You win! We will never use their company again. EVER! Worst company!

    I have had numerous bad experiences with my local UPS hub but unfortunately cannot get away from them because many businesses use them for shipping. Twice, when I have ordered something and had my PO Box down as my shipping address, because where I live, my street address is not a valid shipping address so most companies systems won't let me enter it, and they are supposed to transfer to the postal system, they refuse to do so. Both times they tried to tell me that they don't deliver to PO Boxes, which of course they don't, but they do transfer to USPS.

    The first time this happened, I was given the option to either drive an hour one way to pick up my package or have it returned to seller. I had the seller contact them and change the address and it and luckily it was delivered to my house. The next time this happened (about 3 years later), one of their night clerks changed my address to a different state but same city name. The zip codes were not even similar. That one took me 3 hours on the phone with UPS and the seller to get it straightened out and an extra week to get it delivered. My most recent experience was them saying weather conditions had delayed delivery. There was no bad weather yet when they said, and FedEx was still delivering at the time. If they would have quit being lazy, I would have had my package already and it wouldn't be delayed 3-4 more days because now the winter storm really has hit. Also, they never knock.

    I ordered a jacket to be delivered to my PO Box but was shipped with UPS. Knowing that UPS does not deliver to PO Boxes I contacted their 1-800 number as soon as I found out and gave them my physical address. The gentleman took the information and I was assured that the address would be corrected. That was on a Friday. Delivery was supposed to take place on the following Monday. Who did not deliver was UPS. I called the 1-800 number again checking on my package and was told that something came up but it would for sure be delivered the next day, on Tuesday. I verified my address again and they repeated it back to me. Needless to say, who did not deliver on Tuesday was UPS.

    Starting to get upset I called the 1-800 number again and requested to speak with a supervisor who listened to my complaints and ensured me that they would make sure the package was delivered the next day, a Wednesday. I was told by the supervisor that she would check back with me the next day to make sure I got the package. She repeated the correct address back to me and left it at that. Reason for the non-delivery that day was ice on the roads. Strange that my neighbor got her deliveries from FedEx without any problems. Well Wednesday came and I still did not get my package. So I called once again the 1-800 number and was told that it had been delivered around noon time to a totally different address.

    I was beyond mad. I was told that after my complaint two different drivers went back to the wrong delivery address, but the people there denied ever having received a package. The driver said he put in front of their door. So I guess I just bought someone a jacket thanks to UPS. They are filing an investigation and will hopefully get back with me in a weeks time. I want a refund for my lost merchandise. I cannot understand how for 4 days in a row they had my correct address, even repeated it back to me, and then still deliver it to an incorrect address. I was told that someone in the Distribution Center linked my PO Box to an old previous owner that once upon a time had my PO Box number. Needless to say they had my phone number and could have contacted me anytime. Unbelievable. I will never choose UPS again.

    I sent an important package via overnight delivery. Paid a lot of money for next day delivery. NEVER was told someone needed to be there to accept package... because I knew in advance that was not possible. They "attempted" to deliver my important package... on a Friday, left note saying will try back on Monday. Really? I paid for overnight delivery and they will attempt again on Monday?? No refund because "they attempted", no Saturday delivery... Oh wait, maybe Saturday delivery for an additional fee! Driver said neighborhood wasn't safe to leave package. $2000 a month rent my friend - VERY safe neighborhood. UPS people I spoke with... and there were MANY, all are supervisors! Most extremely unprofessional. So I suggest you use FedEx or the US Postal Service but never ever UPS. They are apparently NOT in the package delivery service. At least not in Boston Massachusetts.

    We are in TN and on this date, 01/22/2016 have been experiencing pretty bad weather, i.e. snow storms and slick roads. My husband and I are both disabled veterans and he is on a medication that has to be taken every four hours and can only be ordered each month. Recently he has been diagnosed with bladder cancer and has been in extreme pain from that, compounding the pain he is already in from prior surgeries.

    Today I kept up with updates with the online UPS tracking system and each hour an update would give an hour later as the time it would be delivered. According to the site, the medication left the nearest city to be delivered. It never was, so I called customer service to inquire. I was told that all drivers were called in and all offices are closed in the south-east, regardless of the need for medication. This was due to the inclement weather. The rep was telling me this as the postman drove up to the mailbox to make his delivery. I was told that the package would have to wait until the weather and roads were clear.

    I mentioned the postman and was told that USPS has different policies as does FedEx. We live in the country on a dead end road with only four families here. We even met the delivery people at the highway since our road was blocked. But was told that they didn't know when this package with medication someone needs would be delivered. State offices are closed as are all local clinics. The clinic we use is a VA one but is closed on Friday anyway, but was only open two hours yesterday. The representative didn't even give the option to drive to pick up the medication, instead told me there is no one there.

    Now I have an extremely ill spouse who is without meds and I'm unable to get him to a hospital. I called the VA back to tell them what happened and no one there ever heard of UPS refusing delivery. Yes, I understand the difficulty in driving in this kind of weather, but I'm not willing to sacrifice my spouse's life because UPS failed to take in account of weather conditions. It bothers me that UPS website doesn't let someone know that they ARE NOT going to deliver the item but will do all they can to do this sometime in the future. With this kind of delivery, my husband may not even have a future.

    Within the last two days I have had two items sent to me via UPS. The first item was said to have been delivered to my home twice and no one was at home. My wife and I are retired, at home and have video surveillance. We were required to get this item at a UPS drop off station. The second item was ordered from AARP Rewards program, Antwerp Jewelry and was shipped via UPS, UPS delivery information via email established. The item was transferred by UPS to the United States Postal Service for delivery and was left in our driveway. To say the item was expensive is an understatement. In my opinion this item should have been entirely delivered by UPS with a signature required. If I did not go out to bring in our trash cans I would have not seen this item and it could have easily been stolen.

    I shipped 8 packages each weighed about 70 lbs from Philadelphia to Miami. When the boxes arrived in Miami they looked like they were thrown from an airplane. Not one thing was salvaged and this includes a 14kt gold urn that my mother's ashes were in. There was a lot of China and glass nick nacks that were all carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and styrofoam. When it arrived it was sand at the bottom of the boxes and somehow all the bubble wrap was balled up in the boxes. The worst part is dealing with their claims department who wants to make you believe that somehow this is my fault - yeah, maybe for dealing with them in the first place!

    Bought a chainsaw from Home Depot online the week before Christmas and was told it will take 10 days to get it delivered to Post Falls, ID... Then it snowed and I get a card from the Post Office saying UPS can't deliver and if I want my package I can drive 35 miles to pick it up. Two weeks later (yes the snow melted many days ago) and UPS still can't deliver because of snow storm 16 days ago.

    So I've talked to the 1 800 UPS doesn't care folks in India and they tell me it will be delivered very soon. Called again today and finally got a call back from the UPS manager in Spokane WA who told me if I didn't like the fact that it was delayed then he would just send it back to Home Depot. He didn't need to explain anything to me and he wouldn't let me talk to his boss - and wouldn't give me his name or his supervisor's name... And then he hung up on me.

    After an hour on the phone with the 1 800 UPS folks (put on hold several times) I get a call from the Spokane UPS guy who starts the conversation by telling me he doesn't have to take any ** from me and then agrees to deliver my package to the UPS store in Post Falls... But not to my house because I complained about him. Nobody makes the Post Office look good better than the special folks of UPS.

At approximately 8:30 a.m. on the morning of Friday, January 8, 2016, I called UPS to notify them that I work during the day and am not available until after 4:30 p.m. The representative indicated that UPS does not deliver on the weekend and that the package was out for another attempt to deliver today. I inquired as to how late UPS will deliver and she indicated that UPS continues to deliver until around 7 p.m. I then asked if UPS could deliver after 4:30 p.m. since I don't arrive home until that time. The representative indicated that the route had been planned and she could not instruct the driver to deliver at that time. She also indicated that a 3rd attempt would be made to deliver the product on Monday, January 11, 2016.

    I asked if delivery could be made on Monday after 4:30 p.m. since surely an appropriate route could be planned before Monday's deliveries ensuring delivery to my home after 4:30 pm. She again stated that she could not guarantee delivery after 4:30 p.m. on Monday. She then indicated that the only other alternative is that after 3 failed attempts to deliver, the product would be returned to the UPS facility in Detroit and I would have to drive there to pick it up.

    I used to love UPS because they have never screwed up any of my orders and were always on time, but things have definitely gone south. I ordered quite a large package from Bath & Body Works, I kept tracking the package and the day of delivery. I was sitting by the door the whole night waiting on this package. I checked my tracking again, and this time it said "12/30/15 7:24pm. The receiver does not want the product and refused delivery." I sat there in shock and disbelief, I had been WAITING the whole evening for that package & all of the sudden it says I refused delivery? I immediately called their customer service to change it, the lady told me that she would have some guy call me the following week to reschedule a delivery. I didn't think that made sense because it was a Wednesday (the day this happened).

    So I asked her if I could pick it up at a local UPS store near me, she said no. I asked to speak to her manager and they said that they would have it shipped back to me the next week. I had the tracking order, next week rolls around. I check my tracking status the day of the "delivery". It says "Information unavailable. To: Louisville, KY, US." I live in Florida, so I know that's not right. I called customer service AGAIN and spoke to their manager, he told me that it had been in Tampa for that whole week and was shipped to Orlando and then sent to TN then to KY. Basically, they lied to me and screwed up my order twice. I am not happy at all, they did not handle that well and treated me like I was stupid! I will never use UPS again. That was enough for me to change how I felt about them.

    Also, they never ring your doorbell or knock on your door. I had my iPhone shipped to me through UPS and I heard them pull up. As I was opening the door I saw my iPhone sitting on the ground and the guy walking away. They just leave your packages by the door so anyone can steal them. I've seen them drop a package off to my neighbors, they weren't home and 2 minutes later some guy grabbed it and walked away. They should seriously knock or ring a doorbell - that's extremely lazy in my eyes. It takes literally 5 seconds to do so. I'm extremely unhappy and I hope this never happens to anyone.

I called the customer service line and they stated "there is a 90 minute delay on all overnighted packages due to the holiday" - okay, I get that.

She put in the request for our local UPS manager to contact me by 3:25 pm and I hung up with her. After being on the other phone for 55 MINUTES, a supervisor finally came to the phone.

    I purchased a guitar two weeks before Christmas. It was shipped on the 19th. Delivery was subsequently scheduled for the 30th, or 11 days. This included seven business days. My shipping address was never displayed on UPS's tracking system, so I had no way to correct it, resulting in a returned delivery because of one digit missing on the apartment number. When I called UPS to find out what was going on, I was informed the package could be picked up at will-call that night. But I was also informed I could meet the driver at a local UPS store to pick up at 5 PM, several hours before will-call opened. When I arrived 8 minutes before 5 PM, I learned the driver had left 10 minutes before that. No way to pick up. Now, after physically visiting will-call, I learn the package has been returned to shipping, and will now be re-delivered on Monday, January 4, or 16, yes SIXTEEN, days after being given to UPS and logged into their system.

    To add insult to injury, I captured a screenshot showing the package would arrive before Christmas. When I called UPS a third time, I was informed I could come to the shipping depot after I received the package and file for a refund. Nothing but excuses and failure to take responsibility for utterly deplorable service. Failure to perform and live up to their promise of service. UPS' system broke down this Christmas. The worst thing they should be doing is instructing their retail staff, those that come in contact with the public, is blame the busy Christmas rush. We all allow for some give and take here. But two things--(1) They need to provide better customer service, 16 days is unacceptable, and (2) not come up with flimsy excuses when clearly 16 days is ridiculous. You can't explain away a full week delay, even with the holidays.

    My package was supposed to be delivered before Christmas and got delayed to after Christmas. Not a huge deal since I know of the holiday shipping schedule. Checked to see when my package would arrive and online it says delivery was attempted. I checked the address and it, indeed is my correct shipping address (which is a business). I call UPS and let them know that the business is in fact open, that I was there all day, no UPS and no notice. The next day, they "attempted to deliver again" and again, say that we are not open.

    It was becoming clear to me that this person was not entering the building at all, since the building itself and all of the offices are open. I received some other packages from FedEx and OnTrac because they at least know how to deliver packages in an office building (which you know, would be to enter the building and bring it to the correct office...) but still no UPS.

    After calling them (AGAIN) and them telling me the driver would come back, I get a call from UPS saying the driver is outside somewhere and to come down and get my package. Are you serious? no ** way. First of all I am working, this is an office building and I don't know where or what part of the street, or dock you are in, nor am I going to pick up a package that should have been correctly delivered to me in the first place. They then told me the driver had other packages to deliver, so he just drove off without delivering. So now, end of day 2 I still have no package.

After driving 30 extra minutes to pick it up myself, they tell me I can't pick it up for 3 more hours. I have somewhere I have to be tonight and can't go back, and am supposed to be wearing this dress tomorrow. I can't imagine when it would have arrived if I had paid $5 for shipping to have it delivered by today, 12/29/15.

I really think I am going to call my local news station because I don't think UPS is going to do anything to help me.

    My passport was sent from Russia to China on December 23 and it's the 29th already and the package is still flying around the globe. First it went to Germany, got stuck there because of Christmas for 3 days, then it arrived to China yesterday then somehow moved to...South Korea!!! Like... why? Now, support says, it's in transit between SK and China. And it's been 9 hours. I had to cancel my entire new year's trip abroad because of UPS's disastrous service. What drives me mad the most is that support is not allowed to give us information about flights' schedule. They simply say, "it's in transit, sit and wait". The worst service ever! NEVER USE THIS COMPANY if you need something delivered to you urgently. Oh and PS, the sender paid for 1-2 days express delivery door to door and he was never ever informed about all the transit hubs but instead was told my passport would go from Russia straight to China(!!!).

    I am in the service industry so I am all about giving people who provide you a service the benefit of the doubt. Packages get lost, it's the holidays, a million different things. Due to unfortunate circumstance I was out of a phone and had one overnighted to me. I got up early, waited in my living room for a knock at the front door or a buzz... nothing. I tracked my package again and it said "will try delivering again tomorrow". I ran outside, there was NO "sorry we missed you" note. Nothing. My front door is located in my living room so there is absolutely no way I could have missed someone making an attempt at delivery. That is what is most frustrating about this situation. It wasn't that they lost the package or couldn't get here until tomorrow, it was simply an ignorant person who didn't care about what they were doing. And unfortunately that reflects poorly on the entire company.

    I'm just curious as to what this delivery person actually did. Did they merely just stand outside my door and wait for me to appear without having to knock? I'm struggling to understand the thought process behind what happened. Now I have to wait an extra day even though I payed for it to be here today and must drive to the UPS store tomorrow to avoid the risk of the same thing happening. I'd just like to reiterate if they got lost or couldn't find the address and I had to pick it up, that's one thing. But the fact that they were here and essentially wasted their time and mine, that's where I have an issue.

    Never will I use UPS again. **, the owner of the UPS (store #0488 at Mission Bay Plaza) in Boca Raton, Florida is a liar & con artist who only cares about his store's ratings & taking customer's money. 7/16/15 I shipped a large box by UPS from Florida to Arizona. I bought extra insurance on the package and asked several questions regarding the shipping process to make sure my package arrived safely. **, the store owner, helped me bring in the box from my car and provided extra tape on the box and wrote "Fragile". Accepting the package he told me "everything was good" so I left feeling secure. I had ** word. 7/23/15 I received a notice that my package was damaged and they discarded some of the merchandise. I immediately ran over to the UPS store and ** from the store called UPS. She told me I will be receiving the insurance plus the delivery fee.

    7/27/15 I went back to the store. They said my claim was denied because I packed the merchandise myself and I did not pack it right. Despite initially being told "everything was good" & being confirmed to get a full refund by UPS, they went back on their word. I said to ** "Your store accepted the package and said it was fine". He told me UPS is not responsible for how they treat the package during delivery. When I asked him for proof & pictures that it was not packed right, he said there were none. After leaving UPS being scammed, I sent a certified letter to the CEO of UPS, David Abney, only to never receive a response. I left several messages to the head office. No response. I put in a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. UPS did not respond back to them right away and they had to send out the complaint again.

    They finally responded that I needed to go back to the store (#0488) and work it out with them. The owner, **, said he will not help me because "It will downgrade his store and his ratings will go down with UPS". I was blown away at what he just said. An individual like this cannot be trusted and the company is just as guilty. They will accept your merchandise, your money, provide empty promises, and tell you exactly what you want to hear. Once anything in transit goes wrong though, they will immediately point the blame to you and claim no responsibility. They offer you no proof or apology, how/why your package was destroyed and even have the nerve to take your extra insurance knowing they will not reimburse you when something goes wrong. It is very clear that UPS does not care about their customers or reputation. What is more amazing is how they get away with it.

    I had a package that I paid for 2 day shipping due to arrive. I came home early that day and I received a notification at 4:52 that there was attempt to deliver and nobody home. When I called UPS to find out what happen, I was told that the driver delivered to the wrong apartment number 2066. If he went to the wrong apartment then why didn't he deliver to the front office? The next day when my package was delivered to the office, I saw that apartment # 2066 was also there and the office staff told me the UPS driver told them he did not attempt to knock on our doors. So apparently there are lazy UPS drivers not willing to search for apartment numbers. I have a package due to be delivered today, my apartment office closed early today so I called UPS to speak with management to explain what happen and how can I be assured my package is going to be delivered TODAY.

    The lady who is to be "management" mumbled her name, did not state her position nor have any feelings towards my concerns. She put me on mute and assumed what I was trying to ask for. She was absolutely no help, very rude and probably not management. I called back to speak with someone else in hoping for a better outcome and spoke with Philip who I don't really feel was phone friendly. He interrupted me when I was trying to explain the nature of my call. I did thank him for at least being kind but it is not how I felt. I spoke with other residents who claim to have issues with UPS. Some are stay at home mothers and they say that UPS never knocks on the door. They have dishonest workers. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE customer service and overall, just RUDE.

    This is very unprofessional. We pay to have our packages delivered by a specific date but have to count on UPS employees to do their job. The lady I spoke to put me on mute several times, didn't respond when I asked if she was still there. I never have these issues with FEDEX and if I ever have a choice a shipper, I am not choosing UPS. I will be sure that this goes public. They don't allow you to speak with anyone higher than them and it is not fair that we pay for this service and aren't treated right.

I drove 15 miles in terrible holiday traffic to mail out 2 packages and arrived at this UPS location at 7:40 pm on Dec. 21, 2015. Was told I could not mail any packages out unless I had a corporate account. The 2 young individuals working there could NOT have been any ruder about it. When I asked WHY I couldn't mail my packages there when their door and website clearly say they are open until 8 pm, I was told I could only mail my packages if I had a corporate account. What?! Made no sense.

    I was really, really disappointed that I had driven all the way up there only to be told I couldn't mail my packages, I should have been there earlier, they said. Super messed up and rude, rude, rude. The young man working was talking so fast I had to ask him to repeat what he was telling me at least 4 times. Then I asked him to please SLOW his speaking down so I could understand what he was saying. He and the young woman working asked me if I was paying by cash or card. Then decided (I'm assuming because they were closing their registers out and it was going to be a hassle for them to do a transaction) that they could not take my packages at all. I'll never be back.

    I went to the UPS Store 1836 to send a package by UPS on Friday Dec.18 around 2PM. When asked the cost to ship in time for Christmas the owner said $75 without checking and delivery on Dec. 21st for a 5lb robe in a padded envelope. It was expensive so I asked for the cheapest option a longer transit time before Christmas. He then quoted me $65 plus $15 discount. I was desperate and rushed, accepted $50.18 being told that it was the cheapest option arriving the latest day possible Dec. 24th. After leaving the shop still weary of the price, I checked shipping cost online and UPS Ground is $20 for a 4 day transit arrival Dec. 24th.

    After many attempts to call the store to get the tracking number I was put on hold and hung up on. No tracking number was provided on the receipt or the email that was supposed to be sent. Once I drove back to the store I got a print out from Click-N-Ship misaligned cutting off the total price which I was told by USPS was $13 and some change. First learned that it was going to be shipped USPS. My request made 30 mins after paying for shipping was to go and pick up the package/envelope and get a refund. The owner claims it was no longer in the store and was shipped out to USPS within that 30 mins.

    Checking on updates on USPS says only shipping information was sent package hasn't been received by USPS. I went to confirm at the location on Bolsa in Westminster where the UPS owner told me it was dropped at and the postal worker checked in the back for me and did not have the envelope which was colorful and stood out not just a regular brown card box. On and off two hours later the tracking still shows only shipping information was received. Asked owner exactly how much the surcharge was and the shipping cost. Denied he just replied "its going to be more expensive at the UPS store. You should have use USPS store if you didn't want to be charged extra."

    I had no idea that USPS was sending as far as I knew and was told UPS cheapest way to deliver. On my receipt it says Priority Mail with no trademark, no tracking info. Asked owner why he told me delivery date the 24th not the 21st as it stated on my tracking info. Owner said "because you wanted it guarantee by Christmas and delivery date 21st is not a guarantee", which is misleading. Told owner to call the USPS store to stop shipment for pickup and I will have to forfeit the $13 shipping cost and get a refund from UPS Store for the $37 but owner would not allow refund and said, "you signed the receipt for $50 are you dumb?" and proceed with bribe of $20 to leave then a threat to call the cops.

    UPS owner gave no option for customer to get a refund and withheld my package. Since it's a franchised and has different policy nowhere in the store does it say no refund after 30 minutes or no explanation on charges I did not authorized. Also deceitfully overcharging and upselling shipping cost not making it clear that UPS is not the provider. Not allowing explanations or questions I have for non-itemized receipt with actual and exact cost of shipping in additional to UPS surcharges. Unlike other shipping receipts it does not provide tracking number and expected delivery date and extra services add-on which when I saw differ from what I was told and authorized.

    None of which was made available in writing or on the receipt during the purchase that was opposite what the owner had said regarding pricing and shipment transit time. Owner told me the package will be delivered on the 24th and was the cheapest (any cheaper would be after Christmas). Earlier the owner had quoted a delivery date for Dec. 21 will be $75. Owner is making up numbers charging from $75 to $65 to $50.18 all for the same service, Priority Mail shipping. Owner just made up the Dec. 24th delivery date for the 12/21 package so that he doesn't have to go any cheaper than $50 knowing it is a Christmas gift.

    Purposely hid the tracking number and did not provide it at time of payment to mislead customer from knowing they were been charged for USPS service and the real amount for shipping with the hidden UPS fee. I received a reply from UPS Store corporate stating that UPS Store has the responsibility since they sent out the USPS package that I do not have the option to request hold for pickup nor if anything happened to the package UPS store will have to deal with the claim I am not able to since UPS store is the sender. Yet the owner said he will not call and told me to call USPS if I wanted to call and to leave his store and call UPS to complain he was 'finished' with me. He knew I would get nowhere with both companies and I was refer back to the local store.

    The UPS Store is lying to customers about guaranteed delivery dates, upselling higher price shipping options that does not actually exist or provide no additional benefits to customers, concealing the existence of cheaper shipping services cost when requested by customers. In addition, denial for refund and service paid for. As well as violating consumers right to information, right to choice and right to be heard. The package was delivered today and finally update and shows December 18, 2015, 7:46 pm - Accepted at USPS Origin Sort Facility - WESTMINSTER, CA 92683 which I was told at 2:48PM when I called package left the UPS Store 1836. Plus a Signature Confirmation which is a paid service I did not ask for nor had authorized.

    UPS is the new United States Parcel Service. You get your package when they decide you get it. Forget about that "online" tracking. It is an absolute dupe to make you think you are actually tracking your package. Case in point, today, December 18th, I was scheduled to receive 8 packages. Logging into my UPS account confirmed they were on the truck "out for delivery". Never mind that several had been on the truck "out for delivery" for several days. Today, December 18th, I did not receive a single one of those packages on the truck "out for delivery".

    I live in a suburb of Denver Colorado and eventually spoke with a UPS representative in Commerce City, Colorado. That UPS representative confirmed that none of those packages were actually on a truck "out for delivery". And that UPS representative went on to say "they were going to try and get those packages delivered". Note, not "get those packages delivered"... but "try". The new United States Postal Service. UPS. Motto... "we'll try". In the meantime, disregard that silly "online tracking". It is meaningless.

    In the past two months, I have been lied to by UPS regarding 2 separate deliveries, and treated with callous disregard by their customer service representatives when trying to remedy the problems. They indicated that they had tried to make a delivery 3 times in November when they had NEVER approached my home (was present the entire time with big window allowing full view of the street, never rang bell, never came). And tonight they sent me a phone message regarding separate delivery, claiming that the 33 lb. package had been delivered, when it had not.

    When I called to report the error, I was told to contact the company I bought the gift from and see if they would replace it, as they had no way of tracking where it was delivered if it wasn't on my porch. They suggested I go up and down the street, asking the neighbors if they'd seen my package. UNBELIEVABLE!! They are now "investigating", but my Christmas is ruined, as this very important gift cannot be replaced in time. UPS doesn't care about their clients. I will consider the shipping service when I select stores to purchase from in the future, and opt for those that don't use UPS.

    I dropped a package into a UPS drop box in New York on September 30 which contained my broken phone that I was sending back to Verizon. Unfortunately, I got a call 2 weeks later that Verizon never received my shipment so I called UPS to see what was going on. Apparently, my tracking number was not found and I was told to physically go to the drop box to see if it said the packages inside were picked up or not. It said "NOT PICKED UP" on the drop box and I relayed this information back to UPS customer service representative. At this point, they told me the investigations team would call me in an hour. When the investigations team called me, they said the package may have been stolen from the drop box and that they would start an investigation on the drop box.

    When I asked if it was possible that UPS itself lost the package, they refused to consider the idea. So, ok investigation was started and they told me they would contact me with what happened. I relayed this information to Verizon. Fast forward 7 business days later, I call UPS and they tell me the investigation was closed. They did not inform me about this and they didn't know why it was closed. The customer service representative reopened the investigation and told me to call back in a few business days.

    In total, I called UPS sixteen (16) times and had at least six (6) investigations opened and closed. Every time I called, there was a different reason that the investigation was closed yet they never notified me of this like they said they would. I had to call to find this information out. I even went to the drop box again to check on it and saw that it might be broken (Took pictures of course. Mind you, it wasn't broken when I put the packages in). I asked where to send the pictures and I got a name (Edwin) and an extension number and was told he would call me within one (1) hour. He never called and when I called UPS, I was told they don't have the capacity to transfer me to an extension. (What?!) So I asked where I could send the pictures and they said they had no such place to send it.

    My investigation cancellation reasons told by UPS are as follows: First, it was because I was not the "original shipper" and Verizon had to be the ones who opened the investigation. Ok, so Verizon opened three (3) investigations that all ended up closed for another variety of reasons. First, they didn't have an order number (??? They had the tracking number and I specifically asked every time an investigation was closed if they needed ANYTHING else, and they always said no). Then, they wanted the model number on the phone (Verizon didn't understand the reasoning behind this but gave it to them). The last investigation opened by Verizon was closed because apparently UPS had no confirmation that the packing sticker was even printed out by Verizon. Mind you, I had even placed the sticker on my package, so of course they printed it out. They said they could do nothing further.

    When I asked why they didn't tell me this from the beginning, the customer service representative just said "I don't know". I was charged $500 for a broken phone by Verizon. I am currently filing a police report and will then file a lawsuit against them. Disgusting company and I go out of my way (pay more) just to work with other shipping services.

When I checked on the online at 2 pm it was still on the truck to be delivered by the end of the day. I waited till 7 (Which is what they consider the end of the day). I went online and tried the live chat and it was closed so contacted them via phone and I was put on hold for over 20 minutes and when I spoke to customer service they apologized and told me to expect it by 10:30.

    I waited and no package so I called them back and was put on hold again and after the representative apologized to me she told me that there was a driver emergency and it would be rescheduled for delivery on Monday since they do not deliver on weekends. I checked the tracking on Monday and it said it was on the truck at 3 am. I waited and still no package and I called again at after 7 pm and again the first words I heard was "I apologize" and I was told it was rescheduled for delivery on Tuesday. It finally was delivered after 8 pm. It was a good thing I didn't see the driver or I would have gave him hell.

    I am still waiting for my second package which was also supposed to be delivered on a Friday and I was given a lot of runaround from customer service and nothing but apologies. It is now 8 pm and still nothing. I just got off the phone with customer service and was told the same ** and she assured me it would be delivered today. When I asked her what if I don't receive it today all she could say was "I apologize" and that if I do not receive after 10 pm that it will be delivered the following day. I think this is total ** seeing that I live on an island and that the UPS shipping terminal is like 18 miles away from my home. My page was in the truck since 5 am according to the tracking info. It probably went around the island like a dozen times.

    I have a business and getting my shipments through UPS has been nothing but a nightmare. My business has a drop off location but the drivers refuse to leave the package there even with appropriate settings. Instead they make multiple attempts and not leaving any instruction and send my items back to the company. It's hard to do any business. My shipments are always late because they are always being sent back. This company is ridiculous. I don't know how I can run a business effectively when they are constantly sending my shipments around the world and back to the place I originally ordered from.

    I ordered a BMX bike over a week ago and it was supposed to arrive on December 10th 2015. I waited the entire day and nothing came. I check my status at 9:30 and it said "exception" and that my package would arrive the next day (December 11th). I waited and waited again but no package ever came. I call customer service and they were no help and couldn't provide me with any information. Long story short, do not ship using UPS. They will either keep your package and you will never get it or you will have to pick it up yourself.

    Up until today, I have never felt compelled to write a review or post a complaint on any person or business. So, as I sit with these feelings of shouting to the world so someone else can feel my misery - I will look at this more of a statement of release or letting go. A six-figure check was being sent to me from a client for a large scale project I am working on. It was sent overnight and due to some "operational delays", it would take an extra day to arrive. We planned ahead for delays and this didn't bother me whatsoever... I, too, having employees - and realize things happen and you just have to go with the flow.

    On the day of delivery, we patiently waited for the package to arrive. While numerous other packages arrived and as hours went by, I called UPS to speak to an agent to check the status. Keep in mind, the package was sent overnight for first morning delivery. With the delay, it might have been a nice touch to make sure the package was delivered earlier in the day instead of whatever works best for the route plan.

    The UPS agent on the phone said it was guaranteed to arrive this day. As I know there are no guarantees with anything - I jokingly reminded the agent of this and said you might not want to stress the word guarantee so much and I patiently waited for delivery. A few hours went by and I thought, oh well - I can give UPS the benefit of the doubt and I'm sure it will arrive the next day.

    Later that evening I checked the tracking to see if the package was cued up for delivery the next day. As it was later in the evening, I had to rub my eyes to tell if the tracking really did read that the driver made two "attempts" to deliver this package. I quickly checked the videos of the building, my phone which tracks access into the building and even went outside to scour the property for the two door tags that they driver should have left. No signs of any attempt and even the UPS tracking page stated that two attempts were made but no information was provided in particular no time starting with the first attempt was made.

    Again, I gave UPS the benefit of the doubt and thought something happen and it will all work out. I called UPS that evening and agent said the package would be left with their Customer Care office and would be ready to be picked up at 7:30am. I asked the agent to repeat and confirm this a few times since I would have to rearrange appointments to accommodate this 7:30am pick up. To mention, the agent on the phone quite rudely stressed that the driver attempted to deliver this and allowed no opportunity for driver error but was my fault for missing the driver.

    I went to retrieve this package the next day but no one could find it and their tracking system lacked any information that they needed to help me. They said I should wait there while they proclaimed this happens all the time. I sat in the most horrifically designed and decorated environment on a moving cart because there were no chairs while employees muddled through the minutes in front of them until they could punch out for the day doing the basic of their job requirements. I spent several hours tracking down this package that contained a check which was needed to keep our job on track and its lateness was resulting in severe financially penalties.

    I accept that I must be insane because I gave UPS the benefit of the doubt again and thought they would find it by the next day. I woke up thinking that the thousands of dollars that I lost the day before will bring me a bigger life lesson and I set forth the thought that maybe there's better ways of sending things to people rather than the services that are currently provided.

    I called the Customer Care center to make sure my package was ready and to drive over and pick it up. I was told that they couldn't find it and surprisingly enough the agent I was talking to spoke with the driver about this. The driver had claimed that because he didn't have an access code for the directory or door on the property - he couldn't make the delivery. It seems that the driver's time is much more valuable than the customer of UPS as the driver didn't want to dial the Directory by Name on the building to be called in.

    It turns out the best advice I got was from the agent that suggested we just have the check cut over again and sent out. The agent didn't suggest to use as the shipper. I understand UPS has to follow certain guidelines because I know they deal with people that take advantage of businesses by lying themselves and not taking personal accountability. It is definitely a two-way street... I have missed packages in the past and always took full responsibility.

    Maybe when we, as humans, stop trying to lie to each other or take advantage of each other, we can get something done without some much hatred between the people we share this amazing life. It's OK to take responsibility and apologize when you need to... In the end you feel better knowing you took the high road. 4200 words later and there is a beautiful lesson in the end... A fish stinks from the head down. You can only expect people to change and want better for themselves when there's someone leading by example.

So I called Ups and told them nothing was left on the porch and ups said there was nothing they could do about my package not being there. I called Amazon and they immediately replaced my order at no cost and sent it out again....they didn't deliver the packed on the promised delivery date because nobody was home (even though I updated my options for the driver to leave on porch if nobody was home). I took off work to wait for my package.

    They drove past my house so I waited in my driveway for them to come back and he handed me my package. Today December 10th 2015 my husband was bringing up our trash and from the road, my original package was laying in the ditch full of water by my driveway. So the ups driver threw my package in the ditch instead of leaving it on my porch. My package was ruined and soaking wet. The ups driver was too lazy to put it on my porch. I will never ever use ups again. They are a crap company in my mind because their employee was too lazy to do his job.

I asked to speak to a supervisor and after about another 35 minutes I was connected to a very nice English speaking lady. When she found out it was (temperature controlled) medication she told me she was contacting the terminal where the package was placed on the truck for delivery. She assured me that someone would be calling me with more info shortly. That was yesterday and I have heard NOTHING back nor do I expect to. I am through with UPS!

Not once in my entire life have I ever received a single package a single day before the limit of the service (IE ground shipping is 3-5 Days. It always shows up on the 5th day or later!). What made me write this review is their most recent experience I am currently having with UPS. I ordered some things off of newegg.com. Well after waiting for my payment to go through the items finally ship! I in this case have paid for 2 day air! So on the 2nd of the items were shipped. The estimated delivery date is December 7th (Currently the 4th).

    Now I understand that the 2nd cannot be counted towards the total ship time as that is the day it was processed into their center. But the fact that it is going to take 4 days beyond the initial receipt of my items is pathetic. Well now I am literally done with this company. Every single opportunity to use another shipper (Including ones in which I have to pay more!) will be taken! This company is ridiculous! They overprice for their shipping services (Compared to other retailers) and they don't even work on Sunday! Honestly for such a large organization to not work on Sunday is pathetic! I mean for the USPS it's understandable as they were cooped by the government and as such they are to be paid more on Sundays. But no such policy is present for the likes of UPS.

Now my math says it's impossible to ship a package in 2 days when it sits in a warehouse for 2 days, no matter what holiday it is.

When tracked the package, it said UPS tried to delivery but couldn't for 2 days - THERE WAS NO UPS STICKER ON DOOR. When I called the Customer Care, they wanted to charge $6 per package to deliver it to a literally next door UPS access point. The reason provided was that they had to take the package back and then send it to the access pt for pickup. Whatsoever, I don't see any logic behind it and the charge to just deliver it to next door access point. All my other packages were delivered to the access pt regardless of anything. It's only these two - 2 day shipping packages - got screwed up. UPS really have to change your strategy about the deliver system and please do apply some common sense rather than just relying on your computer systems to dictate your delivery mechanism.

    What has happened to UPS as a company? I order from Amazon all the time, but every online company out there uses UPS to deliver. I have this crazy address situation, unreal, and provide the best address I can. UPS has delivered to me for years, so they know how to get to my house. This has been an ongoing battle and saga, but their most recent delivery "wrongs" to me are saying they have delivered packages when they haven't. This last time it is provable because the box they said they delivered turned back up at Amazon.

    Now today 12/3/15, they said they delivered the replacement package, but there was no box outside my house. Here is the tracking activity: no, I couldn't copy the tracking activity, but for this package going from Sacramento CA to Arizona, there are 23 tracked entries starting with received by UPS at 8:21pm on November 24 in Sacramento and ending with UPS's supposed delivery at my front door on December 3 at 12:59pm (tracking number ending **). How is that for inefficiency and even then they can't get it done and lie about having delivered it. Nobody else gets it wrong, and UPS has delivered to me for years. Using the identical address, FedEx gets it right every time, along with the post office and DHL or whatever other carriers are used. Only UPS, who has delivered probably 200 times to me, can't get it right.

    I'm just waiting for a class action lawsuit. When UPS claims they have delivered and haven't, it makes me look like I am receiving items and am fraudulently claiming to not have received them, which is a corollary to shoplifting. But the fraud is on UPS's end. They are getting worse and worse. And it isn't just me they are screwing up on/with, and in my case outright lying. That is why I think a class action lawsuit is inevitable, and when it happens, I hope the settlement is so big it takes them out of business. I NEVER choose them as a delivery option; they are rather thrust on me as the chosen delivery option by the vendor. If UPS can't function with integrity and competence, they need to stop delivering packages, and if they won't correct this out-of-control situation on their own, intervention needs to take place.

    Paid for 2 day shipping and get a delay notice: "We have not yet unloaded the package from the trailer. This may delay delivery. Your delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day." However deliver date shows "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later." If I lived in an area with severe weather I could understand. I have had this happen multiple times. Once paid for overnight deliver only to have it delayed 5 days because they could not be bothered to unload the deliver nor could I pick up the delivery even though the depot was only a few miles away.

    Ordered an item delivered by UPS. First off there was never any attempts made to deliver my package to my residence, instead I received a notice saying to pick up my package at a "access point". The note was not on my house door, it was outside the building on the door. I live in a residential building and anyone could have just ripped that off the door. It is to my understanding that they are suppose to place that notice on your front door not the front outside door of the building. On top of that there was no 1st, 2nd or 3rd attempt before sending my package to a "access point". My outside front door clearly states what buzzer to press for all packages to be easily dropped off and retrieved by the tenants.

    This is not the first second or third time I have had issues with UPS and lazy carriers. As many people that are looking for work I am sure if UPS management was really concerned about this issue protocols would be put into place for better hiring and or ensuring the job is done. I mean your job is to deliver clients' merchandise. If this is not happening I am not sure how UPS is still in business. As for me I am never ordering anything that will be sent by UPS and I suggest you the reader does the same. There is not much UPS can do for you as the customer if you can even get through to your local branch. Good luck.

    Driver noted they delivered a package containing 70 photos of my small children to a house with a side door (my home does not have a side door). Supervisor said there's nothing they can do and to take it up with the original sending company. These are photos of small children, it is not a world where it is safe to have those photos missing with their address written on them. So disappointing a company like UPS does not stand by their service or by their customers and allows for such a situation to go un-investigated.

Now no one is home to receive it thanks to UPS My Choice.

    And to top it off. The UPS delivery truck called from 813-241-1000 and refused to deliver my package at a time when I would actually be home after missing my confirmed window. Kept repeating himself, the confirmed delivery is for all future deliveries. I do not have any future deliveries. I confirmed this one.

    My employer shipped a package to me for me to start a new job. After I got the tracking number, I noticed that it is going to a wrong address (the one I lived earlier), and it was in the delivery truck already. I called the UPS customer service immediately and requested to forward it to me or at least tell the driver to stop delivery and return the package to their local office. The customer service rep did not tell her name and was speaking with a thick Spanish accent, had a difficulty in understanding me and did not seem to be too competent in her job. She told me that I may not request forwarding, only the shipper may, and assured me that "our drivers will not deliver a package to a wrong person and won't left it at a door". It turned out she cheated me, she cared of just getting rid of me but not helping me.

    First, I figured out that I (the receiver) may request forwarding as well if I have a UPS account. So, I did it and paid about extra $20 from my credit card. And, then, how surprised I was when I was informed that my forwarding was not completed, as the driver was uninformed and the package was delivered to wrong address and left at the door! I contacted the UPS customer service again, this time using online chatting, and spoke with someone whose name was Cyrill **. I asked if the driver could be asked to return and pick up the package from the wrong address until it is not too late and bring it back for forwarding. The response was that "the driver has no time as they have to deliver other packages" and suggested me to request the shipper send them the return label, "then the driver would go to the wrong address and pick up the package to return it the sender or re-route it to me".

    I argued that it may take a while till the shipper send the label, what if the package is lost by that time? The answer was "contact the shipper again, as UPS has already delivered the package". Did that ** idiot (Cyrill **) think that the package may have a value for a consumer? I disconnected the chat as it was apparent that the company and their representatives do not care about a customer. I do not understand why it was so hard to call the driver and ask them not to deliver the package. Also, Grand Haven, Michigan (where I lived before and where the package was misdelivered) is a small city where nearly everyone knows each other, why would it be hard for the driver to return and pick up the package?

    I did contact the shipper and asked to send UPS the return label but did not get a response yet. It may take a while as I was expecting, and most likely I will have to pay $200 or higher penalty for the lost package and my new job start is going to be delayed. This is not the first case I am having problems with UPS, and it looks like other consumers have too based on the previous reviews. Apparently, the company does not care to provide a high quality service. They just care to do everything fast to earn just 30 pennies more, even if it causes pain, sorrow, and monetary losses for customers.

    Is there a way that we, consumers, can initiate boycott of UPS, make them bankrupt and wipe out of the market? Isn't it enough misdeliveries and problems with them? UPS seems to exhaust themselves already, it should be replaced by some other company (or companies) that would do their job more diligently and scrupulously and to a customer satisfaction.

That never happened so I call again and they say there is no record of that.

    I had shipped a brand new, 65", Ultrahigh Definition Curved TV from Orlando to the Columbia, SC area. I was at a UPS store where they recommended that I take my package directly to the shipping up to have it shipped. Upon arriving, they weighed the package and charged me $200.00. At this point, I feel confident that I will receive my package safe without any problems. If there was any doubt that the package might be damaged in route, I would have thought that the UPS workers would have mentioned that this package might need some additional packaging or a better box, or something along those lines. Nothing was ever mentioned so it was out of mind. Never the less, my television was broken and my claim was denied stating that the original, unopened box was not suitable for shipping.

    When I received the package, the packing material was all broken showing just how poorly the package was handled. I would think that a responsible, competent company would take responsibility for them damaging a package but not UPS. They are terrible and I mean really, really awful at what they do. I'm trying to be as polite as I can possibly be. Absolutely no accountability whatsoever and I would be surprised if they could even spell the word accountable. I would recommend to everyone to use FedEx and never use UPS to ship something of value.

Marvin explained the situation to the Kohl's agent and what he needs to do for the shipment to be rerouted. I was scared as the total shipment cost was 300 dollars.

    I am so frustrated I don't even know where to start. A delivery attempt was made on November 26 @ 1402. When I got home that evening there wasn't a delivery notification on my door. I went on the UPS tracking website and checked the status of the shipment. The UPS website said a delivery attempt was made and another attempt would be made the next day. Instead of missing the delivery I decided to make a change and pickup the package at a UPS facility across the city on November 27. The UPS site said the package would be ready for pickup.

    My girlfriend and I took the day off of work to pickup the package. When we got to the facility we were told by the guy working at the desk that our package was on the truck out for delivery again. I told the guy that I had requested online to pick up the package at the facility on Dublin Ave. He said that it takes over 24 hrs for online requests to go through their "system". I asked him if changes take over 24 hours how does the driver know to hold my package for another day. That question went unanswered.

    He asked if I would be able to meet the driver somewhere on his route close to where the package was to be delivered. He then tried to figure out which truck the package was on. At this point I asked to speak with a Supervisor or Manager on duty. That request went ignored. In fact I asked three separate times to speak with a Manager. After close to 5 minutes of basically ignoring us he phoned someone who I think may have been in dispatch to try and contact the driver.

    I asked if the driver could just leave the package at my door. He said I would have to call the 800 number for that. I told him that wouldn't do any good as I already requested to pickup the package at the facility and that didn't work either. At this point I was beyond frustrated and my girlfriend asked the guy if the package could be delivered to a store closer to where we live. The store is open on weekends and we would be able to pick it up the next day.

    He made another phone call to the dispatcher and then told us that we could pick the package up at a different location than the one we asked for. We asked if that store was open on weekends and he said no. He spent another 5 or so minutes doing something on his computer without saying anything to us. When I asked him what was going on he said he was waiting for the driver to call. We were quite mad at this point and decided to just leave. I feel sorry for retailers that rely on UPS to deliver their products. I immediately contacted the retailer that I made the purchase from via social media and within minutes they contacted me and asked for details of my experience.

    I encourage everyone to do the same. UPS may not care about their practices but the companies that pay them to provide a service certainly do. So now I am not exactly sure where the package will be on Monday. What I do know is that I will have to take more time off of work to drive around the city looking for our package. When we got home we went onto the UPS website to try and contact Customer Service to discuss our experience. After several attempts we discovered that it is not possible to talk to a live person.

    A quick google search of other people's experiences turned up very similar stories all across North America of alleged failed delivery attempts. I truly believe that packages are not leaving the UPS trucks. I went on social media and contacted the retailer. Within minutes they wanted to know my story. I encourage everyone to contact the retailer they made the purchase from and tell them your story. UPS may not care about their poor service but I am sure the retailers paying for the service do.

But I did receive a notification that the package was being sent to UPS access point. I called them to see if they would come back and they said no because the time was after 7pm. I will NEVER use their services again. Keep it up, you will become history as well.

    Ordered my son's high chair and paid extra to have it delivered on a specific date. When it didn't show I called to find out why. They tried to tell me I had been contracted already and my address was incorrect. It wasn't and they hadn't. The guy I finally spoke to didn't even speak English clearly. I will now be waiting an extra three days for something that I paid extra to be here yesterday. Highly disappointed in the driver that was an ** as well as the customer service out of West Springfield Massachusetts. They actually had the nerve to ask me to pick it up from their distribution center. Wow... Just disgusted.

    This was by far the WORST experience. I had a package shipped to me - paid $25 extra for it to be here 11-19-2015. 1 representative told me @ 8am CST the package would arrive by 3pm no later than 7pm. 8pm still no package. I have a flight to catch @ 9:40. This package is very significant to my trip. Spoke with manager only for him to tell me it may not come until Monday. It may be on a satellite truck! SMH. NEVER again. I wouldn't use UPS to deliver a text message.

    A late UPS trailer arrival has delayed my delivery. Up until last night it was telling me that my package would arrive today. I took the day off from work because I've been having problems with mail delivery services not leaving my packages or throwing them over my fence... I will never do business with this company again.

    Everytime I have a package sent from UPS, they're delayed for some reason. What they say and do are two different things.

    I received a postcard stating that the package could not be delivered. I called the Customer Service Department and verified the name and address. Instead, the package was returned to shipper. I spoke with the Customer Service representative (who gave out wrong information) and then a Supervisor who stated that packages are kept for only 5 business days. I did not receive the postcard until after the 5 business day hold. The Supervisor apologized but did not offer reimbursement of shipping charges. Find another shipping carrier to use!

    I am working with a company who ships only via UPS. I order packages every 2-3 days and 50% of time, I get some issues with delivery. Sometimes they don't deliver to the apartment door but drop in building lobby where anybody can take it. Sometimes they deliver to the wrong apartment and the worst is what happened today. I was awaiting 2 packages from the same order and the same place. They separated them and one arrived in the morning. The second one is in the other truck and is traveling all over the city for 12 hours. They said they deliver by 7 pm so it's already past seven and my important package hasn't arrived. All I hear - "Sorry we can't know when the driver will arrive but please wait till the end of the day." It's awesome. I have to wait for 12 hrs for my package and still don't know if he is going to make it. No any responsibility, no any way to receive explanation, just excuses that don't help much.

    I purchased a product from a large company. Upon payment I paid for expedited shipping. UPS had a power outage in Kentucky as a result I would not receive my product, which is a birthday gift, as planned. I offered to pay over night shipping and they said no. I also offered to pick it up when it got to Mass they also said no. Because I complained about their service, UPS intentionally kept my product in New York for four days without any movement. It has been over a week since I paid for three day shipping and my product still hasn't moved from New York. UPS NEVER TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS. I WILL USE DHL OR FED EX FROM NOW ON. This is the second package in two months from UPS that I have had issues with. The last package, a pair of sneakers, they flat out lost. Luckily Finish Line was very helpful in sending me a new pair free of charge.

    I was not home when my package was originally delivered on 11/9/15 since my husband and I were at work. I rescheduled delivery for today, 11/13/15 for a charge of $5. Package was to be delivered by 'end of day.' My husband stayed home on 11/13 and never went anywhere since there was no time indicated for delivery. I got home from work at 5:30. Still no delivery so I called UPS and spoke with Ralph. He guaranteed that my package is on the truck and would be delivered by 7 pm which is considered their end of the day.

    My husband and I delayed our plans for tonight to make certain to be home for the delivery. It is now 9 pm and still no delivery. I am very upset since my evening is now ruined. Why can't UPS give a 2-4 hour window of time for delivery? Why was I guaranteed delivery on the day I paid $5 to be certain to receive delivery and it never happened? I am very disappointed in UPS.

    So I live in Canada and I ordered something from the states. The products are worth in total $140. I am being charged an extra $95.95 with brokerage fees. Also the HST placed is $30 which makes so sense because HST is not that much. I tried self clearing the shipment through CBSA but UPS just won't let me. I've been hearing about these scams and high brokerage fees and it is not right!
