WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! I had to report this store because that is actually how bad they are in there! I have been twice now. The first time they charged us for tape to tape the box, which no UPS store ever has, but we paid and that was that. So we went again today and taped the box. Now they want to charge us to tape the label! I called customer service - this is not even allowed! They never charge! So this store is doing illegal charges! They were laughing and waving making fun of my fiance. I called to speak to the manager - he wouldn't give me his name and hung up on my face. I was so nice too! This is just wrong what they are doing over there! Hopefully me filing the complaint with the company I will get somewhere so others do not get fraudulently charged! Save yourself the aggravation and take the extra time to go to UPS in Salem, NH!

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. What's really telling is if you go to the UPS website you will find no way to post a complaint. The boys in the brown trucks don't want to hear about it. Oh well.

Was suppose to receive a package that required signature. MY Choice UPS sent email saying it was to be delivered between 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM. No show. Called Customer Service - may be delivered up until 7:00 PM. No show. Called customer service - may be delivered up to 10 PM. No show. Then received email saying a delivery attempted was made - lies. No one came the house. Called customer service, will have someone call within 1 hour. Received call, said driver could not get into security gate but my profile shows what the code is. Was then told driver tried to call. No one called us. Said driver say tel was out of service. Asked what number they called. They did not have access to that number. This was all lies. Now have to spend another day waiting at the house because package requires signature. Terrible service!!!

When waiting for a package from UPS plan on being home all day with your front door open. There is no delivery window. They state that a package will be there by 3 pm, don't count on it. Businesses have first priority, then whatever time they have left they will fit in your package. This is the second package this week (both overnight air - the most expensive shipping they have) that I have had to stay home all day long as the package is expensive and you can be sure that like the last one, they don't even knock. Drops the package at the door in plain view of the world and leaves. I am so tired of a worthless, overpriced shipping company. If you are going to charge me $40 at least have the decency to knock on my door before tossing my package that is worth more than the driver's monthly salary on the ground.

On Thursday, January 7, 2016, when I arrived home from work a notice was on my door that UPS had attempted to deliver a product that I had ordered and was waiting for. 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. Terrible, terrible customer service. This is a shipping company and they should do whatever they can to deliver as requested and not inconvenience the customer. They are unwilling to work with the customer.

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. Worst experience of all time.

UPS is still charging for fuel surcharges and fuel prices have been too low for the past year. Also they are charging for rural delivery to Bremen Georgia, when it is not a rural zone. In checking with Fedex, they do not.

A business is typically open from 8am-5pm. Unfortunately our UPS driver seems to think we are open until 7, because that's when the packages arrive. No amount of calls or complaints gets them to deliver on time, so I end up wasting time at the service center instead of running my business. I hope these people find themselves sitting on a pineapple soon.

FedEx really needs to put UPS out of business. I was promised delivery of a 2-day air shipment on Dec. 30th by Close of Business. Package did not arrive. And… by the way, this was NOT a weather-related shipment. I called UPS customer service which said it was out for delivery for Dec. 31st between 1:15 and 5:15. It is now 4:30 on Dec. 31st and I called customer service once again and they tell me it will not be delivered until Monday, Jan. 4th. How can a logistics company run on such horrible ethics??? This happens over and over… FedEx, this is your chance to step up and put them out of business!!! If I could pick 0 STARS for this service that still would not be good enough to rate their POOR system.

In June of 2014 I sold an art piece from a glass artist. UPS packed and shipped the item from Charleston, SC to Miami, FL. Some of the pieces of glass were broken. UPS instructed my artist to remake those pieces and ship to Miami for the customer. He did this at a cost to him of $1200 and shipped to the customer. UPS has failed to pay the artist. I have called multiple times on behalf of the gallery and the artist to every department UPS has. The UPS shop owner died two weeks ago of cancer. Even though the piece was insured, UPS has not paid. Every department I called had a different story each time. What recourse do I have???

Paid for a package to be shipped overnight on 12/29 with guaranteed delivery by 12/30 at 10:30 am. At 2:00 pm, I realized there is a serious issue. 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. I finally got a customer service rep "Marvin" on the line who told me he had no way of contacting our local UPS to find out what is going on. I know this is untrue because I've had similar issues with UPS in the past and they've always put in a request for the local UPS manager to call me back.
I told Marvin this and he still said there was nothing he could do. I requested to speak with a supervisor. After sitting on hold for 45 minutes, I grabbed another phone and called the customer service line again, getting in touch with another rep who was very apologetic and helped me right away. 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. He was extremely defensive at first, but then said he would talk with Marvin about leaving someone on hold that long and not offering to contact the local UPS. (Yeah right, I'm sure that will happen).
The local UPS manager NEVER CALLED! Our business closed for the day. This morning, I track the package and it says it will be here today. I went on UPS' "live chat", and the rep said indeed, the package should be here today. I requested a refund, as I paid for overnight shipping and those services were not rendered. The rep on the live chat told me "billing is closed". As of now, I have not received my package. I paid for a service that was not provided, and there is no one to I can contact about this issue. The local UPS manager never contacted me back after the rep PROMISED she would. I'm stuck.

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.

Christmas package sat in my hometown for 6 days without delivery. Called UPS customer service multiple times but somehow it could not get from their yard to my front porch which is only 3 miles away. I called QVC last night about shipping a new one and then UPS finally sends me in a email this morning that it will be delivered today. No package came, so another call to customer service and now the shipment is frozen because QVC stopped it because they are shipping a new one which will not arrive for another week. At this point I am going to try very hard never to use UPS again.

I had rearranged my week to ensure availability for a package on a particular day which required a signature. I did not leave my entire day as it was the only available day I had made available to be home for it. After hours of waiting, I suddenly received an email alert stating, "Sorry, we missed you." I immediately called their customer service department to explain my situation before the driver got too far. They would not work with me and stated they will retry to deliver it the next day. I told them I would not be available and they said nothing they could do.
The driver made no attempt to deliver my package out of sheer incompetence nor would they allow me to pick up at a close-by UPS location. I called a different customer service number and spoke with a manager that told me they would be back by 7 PM to deliver it. It is now 9 PM and I just received an email alert that they are attempting again to deliver tomorrow even after I stated I will not be here. I was supposed to get a call from their customer service and never did. This is not the first time they pulled this and they need to be accountable for this incompetence and dishonesty! I have never experienced such unprofessionalism from FedEx or USPS. UPS will NEVER get my business again; AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T DELIVERED MY PACKAGE!!!

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. I assume tomorrow will be just as frustrating since the driver refuses to deliver any packages they have.

I ordered a dress for my sister's wedding rehearsal / rehearsal dinner 12/22/15 and paid close to $20 for 2-day shipping. My expected delivery date started out right for 12/24/15. However, on the 24th it changed and said it would now not be delivered until 12/28/15. This was fine as I needed my dress by 12/30/15. HOWEVER, on 12/28/15 the delivery date changed again to 12/29/15. Then apparently they "tried" to deliver it on 12/29/15 but my house does not exist (although they have the right address and we have had several other packages delivered to our house just in the last 2 weeks).
Since I need the dress by 12/30/15 I called in to see where I could just pick it up. I was given an address and drove there. 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. Also, before getting the address I tried calling in twice to see where my package was and was supposed to get a call back in an hour each time, and over 2 hours later haven't got a single call.

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.

Hours posted on the Customer "Service" Center on Valley Forge Ln N in Maple Grove, MN say that they are open for business until 8 pm. I have used this service center ever since it opened. The hours are not convenient, by any means, but service has always been pretty good in the past. 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. Will go out of my way to use FedEx or USPS from here on. And I've been a customer for 25+ years or more.

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.

Not only are they completely unhelpful on the phone, and falsely sympathetic, they have the gall to waste your time with a so-called chat line, where once you actually get someone, all they do is give you the phone number you already called -- and guess what -- same story as before.

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.

I was supposed to receive 2 packages from the same sender delivered via UPS. The first one was 4 days late. I tracked it and it was on the truck to be delivered at 5:30 am. 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 no idea why any business would use UPS. I never once had a problem with USPS. I have even had my regular mail delivered with a note telling me that my package would arrive later in the day and never once have they failed to meet a deadline.

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.

It is now almost 11 pm and I have still not seen nor heard from UPS where my package is, even though I have changed plans to make sure I was here when it was delivered. I even tried to use their chat just after 10 pm and was told it would be 18 minutes hold time, so I waited. Then I got the message that their chat time was closed, at 11:28 pm EST. Even though website says they are available until 12 pm, EST. I think it's time to check out FEDEX.

I had been left with a undelivered package notice on Friday (12/04/2015). I was required to sign the back of the notice to enable delivery for the next business day, even in my absence. I did so and pasted the notice in front of my apartment building. On Monday (12/07/2015) when I return back from work, I see the notice which I had previously left signed and there was another undelivered notice which the driver had left. Obviously because he did not see my previously signed notice. This time I signed the next notice and pasted it on the apartment door again. The next day (12/08/2015) when I come back, I see the package has not been delivered again. A final attempt to delivery notice left. I do not know why the driver overlooked my signed notices time and again. When I called the UPS office to reschedule a delivery, they said that it was not possible and they would return it to the seller.

Upgraded from UPS Sure Post to UPS Ground and made my local UPS store as a delivery point because I work during the week. They took my 3.50$ and still sending the package with UPS Sure Post and added another day of delay. This is unacceptable. The package was already in my city on a Friday. Today it's Tuesday and they automatically changed the delivery to Wednesday. The package is almost a week in my city and I have no idea how to get information. Chat is unavailable because apparently it's still UPS Sure Post, WTF. I UPGRADED to UPS GROUND. Was on hold for 18 Min. with no more info on my item. This was the last straw. From now on I will not accept UPS service. I could have walked a couple times around my city compared to what it takes them to deliver. ZERO STARS.

First time was on hold for over ONE HOUR until anyone even got on the line. A few seconds into the conversation, it switched back to the start menu again! Called back, another 45 minutes to get a supervisor who couldn't sound more incompetent and rude if she tried.
Finally got her to call Van Nuys who lied through their teeth and said that those boxes were on a trailer which would not even be unloaded before Monday (today was Friday). Funny given their tracking shows boxes were scanned at Van Nuys last night then showed "out for delivery" all day today and now shows "scanned back at Van Nuys" again tonight.

Had an expensive package to be delivered to my house in a 3-hour window. Fifteen minutes before that window opened, I received an email stating that UPS had tried to deliver and I was not there. On the contrary, I was sitting 6 feet from the door and never even saw a glimpse of a truck let alone heard a knock on the door. There was no "missed you" sticker or anything of the like. He never came to the house and most certainly not up to the door. Called customer service number to figure out what was going on. It took me 20 minutes to get anyone on the phone and when I did, I wished I hadn't.
I could have had a more intelligent conversation with a rock. She offered NO help and when I asked to speak with a supervisor she informed me that would take another 20 minutes. I declined because I had already arrived at the UPS store. Spoke to management there. They assured me they would contact the driver and have him turn around, said I should wait for a call from their carrier facility. I left and about an hour later I got a call from a man claiming to be with UPS asking me to leave my home and MEET THE DRIVER AT A GAS STATION. COULD THEY BE ANY LESS PROFESSIONAL??
I agreed being that the package I was expecting was of value and I just wanted to be done with this nightmare. Arrived at the gas station and the driver was nowhere to be found!

Honestly I hate most shipping companies but UPS is by far one of the worst! Every single package is either delivered on the last day possible or late. Never a day before! 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.

All were said to be "out for delivery" but I never received the 3rd package - the one with my tree in it. I tried to call UPS several times after the delivery window passed on 12/2 for them to say "oh, we may deliver up to 8 pm". Package was not delivered.

Obviously no one cares or looks at this page but for the record the driver that made the last few deliveries to my home is outright scary. He threatened to take the pkg back so I would have to pick it up because I asked him if he had instructions to deliver to the back door which is my main door. My son is sick with MS and this was life saving medicine. The first attempted delivery he rang the front doorbell. By the time I got to the door and I rushed because I knew this driver was already mad from the last delivery - the UPS truck was nowhere in sight...
I am just so shocked that this delivery man is allowed to continue working. He is a bomb ready to go off. Shameful - if I can request some other type of delivery I will never choose to use or allow UPS to deliver to my home again. The driver was yelling in my walkway, acting threateningly. The neighbors heard him. He made a scene while standing in my walkway - trying to scare me to be quiet or to keep the pkg away from me. Worse thing he had no idea that pkg is so important to my son. This driver is a jackass. Mark my words - this is not the last we will hear about him if he is allowed to continue. Main Office Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

On Nov 26th I placed my order through kohls.com and on Nov 28th I received an email saying my shipment was shipped to my old address in NY. I contacted Kohl's and requested them to change address or return the package. They said they are unable to do anything at their end as the order was complete. Kohl's even said that they will not be able to replace the order as it was my mistake. They asked me to contact UPS and request to change it. I called UPS and they had no information as the label was not generated yet and said Kohl's might be able to help me better. I told Marvin what Kohl's told me and he asked he will talk to them.
So, I called Kohl's, Marvin stayed on hold throughout my call at least for good 15-20 mins and then he spoke with the Kohl's agent. 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. But Marvin helped me resolve the situation and he is even following up with my order. I am 100% satisfied with the customer service UPS provided. Thank you Marvin.

Not too long ago the UPS driver wouldn't deliver because of my small friendly dog outside. The old driver had no problem. In fact, they don't even pull in the drive. Instead he left my new IPad on top of the mailbox, next to the road, in the rain. We live about a mile from the hub and I went there to complain. Friday I had an early delivery and the guy left the package where it should be. A second package I was checking on and it said it had been delivered. Sure enough, out next to the road on top of the box. Anyone could have stopped and gotten it. Can they do that?

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.

Every year I send a small turkey to my son from Honey Baked Ham. This year was the worse experience ever!! The package was supposed to arrive on Nov 27th, the day after Thanksgiving. I even checked the tracking number online and chatted with someone from UPS. The item was placed on the truck (according to the rep) at 3:00 AM ready for the driver at 9:00 AM. They stated that it would get there before the end of the day (which could be 11:59 PM). To my surprise, the package never made it and this is the excuse one the tracking number: 11/27/2015 8:50 P.M.

On Friday November 27, 2015, at approximately 2:20pm, I was driving south on the 9200 block of Mellenbrook Road, Columbia, MD 21045. Suddenly I had to slam on the brakes, because the UPS deliveryman walked across in front of my car without looking. It appears he had just delivered a package at ** Mellonbrook Road, and walked across in front of my car, looking down and entering something in his electronic pad. I said to him, "You should look before you cross the street". He yelled back to me a smart reply which included the "F" word. I turned my car around, and saw that the truck number in the upper left hand corner was **. I followed the truck to be certain I had the number correct. He entered Presbyterian Circle next ,and I turned around to proceed to my home.
I am extremely disappointed that you have that caliber of delivery person with your company. In my experience with UPS, I have always found them to be most polite and courteous. It is my hope that this person receives human relations training and counseling. His attitude and behavior reflects on the entire company in a negative way. Whether he is aware of it or not, he could have been struck by my car and seriously injured, or killed. I am relieved that did not happen. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

First let me say that the BBB giving UPS an "A+" rating and having 163 pages of complaints against UPS on the BBB website speaks volumes about the total lack of integrity at BBB. That said, now for the third time in recent memory, ordered a part to be delivered and paid 2nd day air rates. Sitting in my office Friday waiting for a one of a kind part that is needed to ship a system out on Monday and UPS is a no show. Check the tracking and see the notation that the "Delivery has been rescheduled due to holiday closures. / Your delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day."
Friday the 27th of November is not a holiday! Why would I pay for 2nd day air if we were not going to be in the office? Customer service by phone suggested I drive across town and pick up the package myself! I've been through this twice recently with them. I go pick up the package, I paid extra to have delivered and then UPS says no refund because I got the box on the correct day. I'm paying for delivery, not for "hold for pick up"!

I paid for next day delivery and took time off from work to be there for the delivery but the first I knew about the delivery was an email saying the driver could not deliver. When I went outside to check for a form there was a blank missed you form with absolutely nothing written on it, it was not filled out at all which as far as I'm concerned is further proof that this driver did not want to be bothered with anything slowing him down. I have heard the truck on other days and have waited by the door where even standing by the door his knock could barely be heard, never mind at we have a doorbell that he has never once bothered using. I called and requested that a supervisor from the local office call me and they explained that they would have a driver return between 5:00 and 7:00 and it's now 8:00 and after waiting on hold for 50 minutes I was informed that the driver has gone home for the night and they have no idea why he did not return.

I was promised they would redeliver that day. Instead of redelivering they updated the deliveries to say I was refusing delivery and they sent them back!!!

I called the 800 number but could not get through to a person to help me. When I went to the place I had always picked up my packages, it was returned. The people who had sent it did not require a signature. The driver did what I had asked but to then return the package was ridiculous without giving me an opportunity to pick it up. They say it says I have to call and put a hold on the package. That was not the way it was in the past. I refuse to use UPS ANY FURTHER.

I am picking up my package at UPS on Delaware Ave Buffalo, the representative Steve was very rude. I did not have my license, but I had picture bank card with my name and SSC. He was very rude to told me leave. And he lied that he needs to scan my driver s license. When I come back, all he did was to type in my name from the ID, which he could have done with any of my picture ID! And he took extra long time to give me back my package and making me wait. Shame of UPS having this type of customer service. Won't use your service ever again.

I placed an order with a precious metals dealer and they sent the package via UPS. Since the dollar amount was quite large a signature confirmation was required. The precious metals dealer received, processed, and shipped my order promptly. I received my order as stated on the order/tracking email notification. I was expecting to sign for this shipment but to my surprise UPS left the package on my front porch. Doesn't UPS know that when a package comes in and says Confirmation Signature is required it MEANS A CONFIRMATION SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED!!! Very disappointed in the way UPS does business. What would have happened if someone would have walked by and took the package? I would be dealing with the precious metals dealer, UPS, and I would probably be out quite a bit of money. Next time I see it is going to shipped via UPS I will think twice about using that delivery service.

Two days in a row I've had packages throw at my door, literally. Yesterday I was on my patio and watched the guy from UPS walk halfway up my staircase, followed by a loud thud against my door. No knock, just the obvious sound of something being dropped. My patio is approx 10 ft from my front door. I open it to find the package (containing my brand new camera) but the delivery man was already gone. I walked back to my patio to get a look at him, and he was already back in his truck (which is across the sidewalk and down another flight of stairs - so he was booking it obviously). I immediately called customer service and made a complaint - and was told a supervisor would be in touch with me. It didn't happen.
This morning, I had literally just finished doing dishes (approx 5-8 ft from the front door) and I hear another loud thud. I open the door only moments after I heard it, and there's no UPS guy in sight - AGAIN, however there's another package (this time containing 2 bottles of cologne). Angry at the lack of respect for their customers (and packages) I called UPS customer service, again - and was told, again, that a supervisor would be contacted. I have absolutely ZERO faith that they'll contact me, or that anything will be done about it. I'll NEVER go out of my way to send a package, using them again - they're the worst.

We had a couple inches of rain yesterday while I was away from the house. I returned home at 8 pm and was greeted by 5 packages left on my porch, on wet carpeting, with only 1 box in a plastic bag and the other smaller 4 pkgs laid on top of the larger one with plastic laid over top of them all with the ends tucked under. NOW, not only did it pour but the wind was horrendous. Needless to say that the 'cover' bag was not covering anything, but off to the side, filled with rain water! Thankfully the shoes and boots (gifts) were inside another box and stayed mainly dry.
I am rural, and the regular drivers know that if I am home, the door is open to put deliveries in the mudroom - if the door is locked and no vehicle out front, I'm NOT home - duh - so I do blame them to a degree, for not 'wrapping' or bagging correctly, BUT... the bottom line - UPS NEEDS TO SUPPLY THEIR DRIVERS WITH STRONGER, LARGER BAGS TO PUT ITEMS INSIDE IN CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER! Not everyone is home 24/7 waiting for deliveries! Many of the items were double packed inside for breakage, therefore the water didn't saturate the second box/packing material... but what about next time??? I didn't get any pictures because it was raining so hard, I just wanted to get them inside from the weather and I got soaked doing it!

On Oct 8th I ordered a small item via Amazon Prime. It was shipped using UPS. On Oct 16th (so much for 2 day Prime delivery) an "Info Notice" was on the door of my building informing me that after a single delivery attempt the package could be picked up at the nearest location, a UPS store a few blocks away. The package was available for pickup on Oct 19th. Problem is this particular store is at the corner of Castro and Market in San Francisco, one of the very high tourist destinations in the city and finding open metered parking just doesn't happen. What if this was a large package? Plus this location, although close by my home is not the slightest bit convenient for me.
Whereas the UPS annex which has a customer service center is very close to where I work and there is plenty of FREE parking. On Oct 20th, I called UPS and requested that the package is moved to the Annex. I was assured I would receive a phone call in one hour. Nothing. I called again Oct 21st and once again was told my request was in and a confirmation call would come within the hour. Nothing. On Oct 27, the request for change of delivery location was posted, the package was picked up from the UPS store on Market Street. Today, Oct 28th, the package was delivered to an UPS access point, the UPS store located at the corner of Castro and Market St. From this day forward I will never order anything online if the shipper is UPS and if I discover any order will be shipped via UPS after placing the order, I will cancel the order if possible.

I've always had problems with UPS for as long as I can remember. Even living in 3 different states and many different towns. Once living Oklahoma I was having a cell phone delivered so of course I was waiting by the door literally for hours. Finally after that grew boring I sat on the couch to watch some TV which was right by my big living room window. I hear the noise of a truck and peek out my curtains, it's UPS. I'm so excited and I watch him, but to my surprise he comes out of the truck with no package comes to my door, and doesn't knock and walks back to the truck and starts to start the vehicle back up.
I jump up and ran outside to see a "sorry we missed you" and sticker on my door and thank God my road has many speed bumps because I ran after him. I flagged him down just a few houses away from mine and asked him why he didn't deliver my package. Of course he lied and said he brought it to me and I didn't answer. I let him know I saw him and he was lying. Also that I would be reporting him. He didn't care.
Another town I used in I had not only my packages always delivered super late but half the time the driver wouldn't show up. I am literally always home. I go nowhere and work at home. I track my stuff when I know it's going to be here so I make sure I'm home. I had this guy not show for at least 4 different packages and then say I wasn't home. When I questioned "Okay why didn't you put a sticker on my door saying so?" He had no answer. UPS has now made it to when my packages hit my town they transfer them to my mail carrier and I receive them via mailbox which is great because it gets here at 11am and not 8pm or not at all.
Recently as of right now I have moved again so new town, so UPS was to have my new phone overnight shipped to me. It says it's in a town as of yesterday morning that is an hour and half away from me. For some reason within 24 hours it hasn't been updated and the overnight shipping was obviously pointless. When you call their customer support the agents are half wits. You tell them the problem and they say "Okay I'll help you" and all they do is read the tracking information I just told them back to me. Finally I asked for a supervisor and got placed on hold for 32 minutes. I finally hung up. Worst company ever and I wish shippers would stop using them or give customers a choice.

Received a "delivery attempted" notice at 7:34pm. Both my husband and teenage son were home expecting my package containing high end meds. Of course your call is routed to some other country where they have the slightest clue of what's going on in America let alone your state down to your county, city! I was livid when my insurance company called me at 8:19pm to inform me they received an alert, an attempt was made by UPS and no one was home which by the way we reviewed the time and date the package was to come and I verified someone will be home as well as requesting a signature for package. Unfortunately, this is not the first time these drivers from Secaucus, NJ are falsifying their so called attempted deliveries!! I have previously contacted supervisors whom apologized and this and that but apparently, the problem is not fixed at all!!
There is one specific driver who voiced out to me, he does not need to go up to any building apartment, that his job is to meet the receiver at the front door!!! This driver is still working with UPS. This driver has my street route. I have complained specifically about this driver, so have my neighbors. So why is this driver still on the road providing horrific customer service?!? Now I do live in an apartment complex located in a lower living section in a rich town (Hoboken) but does that mean we (section 8, housing, applied housing tenants) are to be discriminated upon?? Or better yet lied to because our packages don't matter?!? Well, to inform UPS, we have police officers living in our buildings, we also have recording cameras with 24 surveillance. We also have respectful, law abiding, tax paying citizens renting the units!!
There are several complaints all over the US in reference to this same problem of falsifying attempts which has become a "pandemic" within the UPS drivers' world! What did I do? Besides talking to clueless people who apologize for nothing and keep you on hold to say they send them a message and there is nothing they can do, I've also submitted a complaint with my insurance company so if my "suppose to refrigerate" medications are no good they, UPS, will have to pay for it!
I'm awaiting my insurance report so I can then file a police report so when the time comes, SOMEONE WILL PAY FOR FALSIFYING ATTEMPTED DELIVERY! And of course submitting my story here as well as everywhere else so people can begin a movement against UPS and their lying drivers and report them! Now to all the great drivers in UPS that smile and do their job without pretending or falsifying deliveries, I applaud you and apologize for this but there are always a handful that give you a bad name!!

I am in Home Remodeling Business. I purchased a product from Overstock for my client on a Monday and I paid expediting service so that I get it before weeks end. My client had a party over the weekend and this was an important part of the decor. It was supposed to arrive on a Wednesday and when it didn't, I traced the package and sure enough the driver stated that there is no such address.
I called UPS to confirm the address and all was OK. They didn't know why would the driver put that down and not deliver it. But, they promised that it will be delivered the next day which was a Thursday so I was fine with that. Thursday comes and nothing! I was busy all day and I only realized late in the afternoon that my product hasn't arrived. I started the trace again and only to find that it was delivered to an address that didn't belong to me so I was furious and called again. Spoke to pretty much everyone in the rank and they promised me that I would get it before day's end on Friday.
That was a lie! I go on site to see where is my package and on the notes in say, "THE RECEIVER HAS REQUESTED THAT WE HOLD THIS PACKAGE FOR FUTURE DELIVERY DATE/DELIVERY WILL BE RESCHEDULED." I can even begin to express my frustration! I had no word for my client expect that "I'm Sorry." This was a big disappointment for him and since my entire business on based on word of mouth I stand to lose thousands of dollars all because of incompetence of UPS and their delivery service.

I am not sure what is going on lately with UPS, but lately service has been abysmal to say the least. I placed orders from 2 different companies, one with a 2 day shipping, another w 3-5 day shipping. The first item is now going on 15 days. My package has travelled across the country, and still no delivery time in sight. It took 4 days for me to even get an update, and then it stated a sorting issue had occurred. As of today, my item has traveled through a variety of states, all of which are completely opposite to where I am.
My second item is now at day 7, no updated tracking, but another notice of sorting issues. The last known place my package was once again, in a destination not close to my destination. UPS themselves can offer no explanation, only saying they are sorry and do not know when, or how this has happened. This does not bode well with the holiday season coming up, and makes me a little apprehensive of doing any online shopping at all.

9/25/2015 I spent 84.30 to have an envelope containing passports overnight early before 9am Saturday delivery. I shipped out of a UPS Customer Service Center in Lawnside, NJ Friday 8am to UPS Store New Orleans, LA. When my newly married son and d-i-l went to the LA Shop at 10am the package was not there, which was a major issue since they needed them to board a cruise. I called the UPS Customer Service Center and spent 90 min on the phone while they tracked the package. It was found to be misdelivered by the driver, wrong address. (Oh they admit this but refused to change the delivery status online). Now how this is done since it was addressed to a UPS Store!
I was told that they would attempt to contact the driver to have him p/u the package and redeliver but no one ever called me to tell me. Instead I was told I could get a refund at the location I sent the package from and they would attempt to get the package to the store by Monday. All this was too late because the passports were needed Saturday! When I got to my local customer service center I was told that yes I was due a refund but they could not do it there it had to be thru the 800#. They called their own customer service center and turned me away. I then spent another hour on the phone with the 800 CS and was told that I would be issued a refund on my credit card and someone would call me on Monday 9/28 to confirm the redelivery. No one ever called me I waited a week for the refund, NOTHING.
10/5 I called customer service and went thru 4 people and yet another 80 minutes to be told I would have to wait for a check to be mailed for the 84.30 refund and oh we are sorry for the inconvenience. 10/19/15 still waiting for check refund. Called customer service center to be told that the refund was done 10/6 but I'd need to contact my local center for check information. This is now 4 weeks later. I've called Lawnside, NJ store twice and the phone has rung over 10 min each time with no answer.
I called back the 800# and was told I should go to the center to get more info for what 2 to 3 billing cycles means to that location because all centers are different. I explained I am moving out of state this is not working etc, again I'm told that they are sorry for the inconvenience.

Ongoing claim for over a month now. Shipped on Sept. 4 from NY to AZ. Received on time with damages and 75% of its contents missing and replaced with crumpled brown paper. Sent it back to UPS for an investigation and was told it was ineligible because it wasn't placed in the proper box for shipping. It was measured and weighed at UPS facility and I was never told it didn't meet the proper shipping requirements! All of the important contents were stolen from the shipment and the only things that were left in the box were the small soft pieces of clothing I added to fill the voids and keep the weight down. Gone were two sets of tools, a VTVM meter, a scientific calculator, and a Craftsman air inflator, as well as other small items in the second tool box. I didn't take any extra insurance as I never had any other problems with UPS and the stuff wasn't brand new.
To make a nightmare short, and finally talking with a supervisor they sent me the proper claim forms to apply for my $100 reimbursement. This process has been ongoing now for over three weeks with numerous phone calls to check up on the progress of the claim. All they do is keep you jumping through hoops asking for more info. May I add the claim form only has three lines to enter items. They also want invoices of all the items. Who keeps invoices of things that were bought years ago? I followed up giving them printed copies of what the items would be worth to replace, trying my best to find things in the current market place. Obviously that still wasn't good enough because I`m still awaiting a call back today for over three hours. Their claims process is for the birds as well as their whole public relations system. I will NEVER EVER use UPS to ship anything again.
To add insult to injury after their "investigation" they sent the package back to my now vacant house in NY as I am no longer there. I asked them to please issue a new shipping tag, pick it up and send it to me at my AZ address at their expense. They refused and want me to pay for this whole mess that originated in their facilities in the first place. I told them I was both the sender and the recipient and there was no one back at the address in NY. My neighbor was nice enough to put it in my empty house for me.

This is not the first time UPS in Puerto Rico has failed to deliver a shipment. But this time it was so annoying and the customer support was so rude that I just had to open a complaint (I also sent an email to their online customer support so they can keep a record of this). I have a shipment coming from the mainland US. I pay for the shipment, the other party sends it, UPS confirms the address so they send it over to Puerto Rico (the end point delivery). Time goes by, I don't get the shipment so I contact the other party and they track the item only to find out it was stuck in Santana since the 7th. Once it arrives the team in Santana Puerto Rico mark it as invalid address? What? I've been receiving items to that address for years, FedEx never had this issue.
So, not only was it marked like "They tried to contact the party to correct the address" but they never did that. I received a card on the 15th from UPS saying to call and confirm the address. I call and they tell me I had until the 14th to do it and that it was my responsibility to track the item and make sure it arrived. What the hell? Aren't I paying for this service? The customer support person simply said they did all that they had to, even when the card was stamped as sent on the 13th (so USPS only took 2 days to deliver). He went on to say that they sent it on the 7th. Now my shipment not only has been delayed but I wasn't refunded, and the other party couldn't update the address. This won't happen again, because I'll simply never use UPS again. I'll stick with USPS and FedEx, they at least know how to read (and see that there's always a Phone number as added info in the address).

Day 4 @ 5pm, I finally get my paper, didn't come to my address. The lady, where I'd originally sent the package from, called me and said it had come back to their UPS store she signed for it.
I go pick it up and come home to call customer service. She basically told me that it was my fault, she wouldn't refund me $7 for the envelope that was never used that I bought over the phone.

I have Previously shipped them to the same addresses from another UPS store in Charlottesville, Va (store# 3344) for a total of $15.00 each in a much smaller box with no additional charges. I will never do business with the Glen Allen store again and I would advise everyone else to avoid them also.

I shipped a package on Sept. 30, 2015. Correct address and correct phone numbers for me, the sender, and my daughter, the recipient, at a residential address in Denver. I never got any notice of delivery and neither did she. They claim they tried to delivery but it went to the Denver holding facility without either of us being able to find that out. They could not tell me where it was. My daughter was calling their facility everyday and suddenly they say it is there and they will send it upfront for pick-up. They told her she has 15 days to pick it up. She gets there the very next day and they say it has been shipped back to the facility here in Florida. THEY NEVER CALLED HER NUMBER OR MINE. THEY NEVER REALLY TRIED TO DELIVERY IT. What is the truck driver doing, sleeping in the van?
I want my shipping money back and I want to be reimbursed for the ruined chocolates that should have arrived on the October 6th. It is just 10 out as I type this. Why was it not held at the facility? I have heard such horrible things about UPS, or OOPS as the public call them, but I did not think that this simple delivery at a non-rush time would be handled with so much incompetency and disregard for a paying customer. I am going to complain on every possible avenue and write a BBB complaint if I do not receive compensation. UPS needs to go out of business. It is a joke.

In June 2015, I spent close to $500 to have 13 boxes mailed from Michigan to my home in Texas. The boxes arrived on the day expected but not how we expected to find them... 10 out of the 13 boxes were soaking wet and falling apart. I called and spoke to the local office and they gave me the runaround, ending with "We'll call you back and resolve this, promise!" I never heard another word from UPS. So I wrote to the Georgia Attorney General's Office, who in turn wrote to the CEO of UPS David Abney, who in turn passed it on to someone else in UPS, who in turn passed it on to the very first person I spoke with back in June, who actually had the nerve to ask me what is the issue... like she had no idea what my complaint is.

Customer service is horrendous. Constant blame game. With no effort to correct mistakes of make things right to customer, when time and time again a lost package cannot be located on their possession. I have never written a review, and usually have an understanding and compassion if a company or individual admits and corrects their mistakes, and is willing to make it right on their end. UPS and its customer service and management are trained differently! They will admit to losing packages, but will not offer any valid solution, or recourse by the customer such as next day air, or even express, when clearly items in their possession are missing? Very unfortunate this is the normal and most consumers are unable to do anything about it. Even when changing shipping companies..

I had used UPS in the past voluntarily only to be completely disgusted with the level of both indifference towards your questions and complaints and complete disregard for the condition in which their shipments arrive. This having been a good description of ALL of my voluntary encounters with UPS. I made the simple logical decision to never use them again for anything, lest I encourage them to continue with their incompetent **. This being said, it is astounding the number of retailers who refuse to offer an alternative to them for express shipping. I have been, constantly in the past, forced to chose between a multitude of fancily marketed options for the same exact pile of ** service that UPS offers, or chose USPS standard which can take "up to 15 business days".
Observing these options, it would seem a simple decision between the two based on the available time frame... USPS should not be expected to deliver within a week, UPS "Guarantees" next day or two days. Very very simple choice seemingly and a decision I have made several times in the past when faced with time constraints. Seemingly simple choice... But the simple fact is this, USPS has never taken more than a week to deliver me a package. UPS has never delivered me an Express package by the promised time. USPS has never charged me outrageous duty and brokerage fees. UPS has never missed a chance to charge more than the initial advertised rate.
USPS has never noticeably damaged ANY of the goods I have shipped with them. UPS has on at least 50% of the shipments I have received caused noticeable damage worthy of mention and on one occasion completely destroyed a $1000 vacuum blower, only to throw the smashed box out of the truck onto my driveway and drive away before anyone saw. My mom literally saw the truck speeding down the street when she came out to see what the noise was.
Just to elaborate on that last one... 6 weeks after receiving the smashed package and while waiting patiently to receive a refund on the shipping portion of the purchase, I received from UPS a bill for $125 for import brokerage on the smashed shipment (had already received refund on the price of unit from the very apologetic seller after one week). When I called to have this corrected, I was misdirected on the first two phone calls and promised that the problem would be rectified immediately. Then on the third phone call to the third completely oblivious service rep, they finally admitted to me that they had no intention of doing anything to help me. The ** little ** actually said, "I see where you are coming from and I agree that you shouldn't be charged this but there's nothing we can do about it."
To answer your next question... Yes, they actually sent a collection agency after me for the brokerage fees on a package that they (eventually) admittedly smashed. I refused to pay. Absolutely beyond comprehension. I can only imagine what sort of cancerous organizational culture has developed deep within the bowels of this disgusting corporate logistics giant, but it appears to completely preclude any sort of satisfaction for their customers or accountability for their shortcomings. In conclusion, I implore you all to spare yourselves the unrelenting discomfort of dealing with this band of clowns and **.

They are not able to find my address; yet have delivered to me before. Then online updates tells me that they have sent the package to USPS. This was on Thursday, 10/8/2015.

Well imagine my surprise when they tell me that my package was sent back on 10/8/2015 and the online status was in regards to them giving USPS the postcard, not my package. She was very apologetic and her advice is to contact the sender to have it reshipped. How does this help me if I needed that package last week when it was promised?

No, they are being stolen... your drivers are not delivering them. UPS is the only service that we have problems not Fedex or USPS. Are your drivers trained to lie about deliveries? And what is happening to our packages? I suspect they are looking at the name of the company the jobs are for...

I am writing to complain about the type of customer service that I received from this particular stores manager and her employee Ben. I came into this store at approximately 7pm with 5 large boxes and request all the items to be taken out and condensed into 1 big box. Ben the employee did as I asked and was preparing the box for me. The manager was on the phone and seemed irritated because I heard her tell whomever that she was not going to be able to ring up her customer because of her computer problems. I asked her what the problem was and she advised me that their system crashed.
By this time, Ben was done packing my items and I was ready to pay. She then said to me that since she couldn't ring me up would I like to leave my box at the store until the next day so that I could pay for it. I told her no, because I have $6000 in merchandise in that box and if it gets lost then I was out of luck. Well she obviously didn't care and got a really bad attitude with me and told me that well if I didn't come back to pay that it would be bad Karma on me! Why would you tell a customer that you just inconvenienced in the worse way this?? She was trying her best to convince me to leave my merchandise in her store without any type of insurance, liability or anything. I continued to tell her no and she was like well you're just causing yourself more work than you would have to go through and that's why you should leave it!
First of all, she didn't apologize for the fact that I drove all the way to the store with all of my HEAVY boxes for nothing. I wasted my time and gas going to a store where the register didn't work. I basically came there for nothing and to be treated like that was insane! Then to make matters worse, she whispered to Ben her employee about what she had asked me and told him that I refused to leave my box in the store. So when it came time for me to get my heavy box back to my car, he blatantly told me that he would put the box on the dolly so that I could get it to my car but he said that he was NOT rolling it out to my car and assisting me by helping me put the box back in my car. Remind you, he helped me get them out the car but refused to help me put it back in the car.
I felt as I was being punished because of their register trouble and somehow like it was my fault. The Manager heard exactly what he said to me because he said it loud and she said nothing. Worse customer service ever. That box weight 57lbs and it did hurt my back trying to put it back in my car. I asked for assistance with putting it back in my car and I was refused. I would like it to be known exactly how this manager treats her customers that come to her store to pay for a service. I found her to be very rude, obnoxious and she needs to be dealt with or out of a job!!

This is just pathetic. I initially asked that my 5 packages be held at my local UPS store. This did not happen as the store reps informed the driver that they had reached their max and could not hold my packages for me to pick up in the evening. I called UPS and asked that the packages be redirected to my home. Monday, I waited for the packages until almost 7 pm. I called UPS and they informed me that the packages were sitting at the warehouse as there were no instructions on where to deliver them. For the second time I gave instructions. I later received a call from the warehouse saying they have my 4 packages and will deliver tomorrow. I corrected him and said they were 5. Tuesday - no delivery. I called UPS again and they told me the same thing as Monday - they were waiting on instructions on where to deliver my packages. They sent a message to the warehouse to have them call me.
I later received a call from a blocked number. Same voice as the previous person who called me from the warehouse the day before. He even said he was seeing the message about my packages for the first time. He said this without me even asking or stating my case. He went on to add that they will try and get my 4 packages to me the next day. I corrected him and said they were 5. And he agreed as it was stated in the paperwork that he had. Wednesday - NO DELIVERY. Same routine as the last few days. UPS rep tells me they are waiting on delivery instructions... BLAH BLAH!!
However, I could feel him sit up straight and start typing really fast once I told him that I have been recording all messages...and that I knew the game the warehouse was playing when they blocked their number to call me.

This is why I always ship USPS, no problems! First instance: I had two packages to be delivered that came from the same company. They were both shipped at the same time, and were scanned to be "out for delivery" one minute apart, obviously they were on the same truck! I received one package but not the other at my door. I called UPS at about 6:00 pm, who said to call back in an hour if the other package still had not arrived. I called back in an hour and told them the other package still had not arrived. They said that their system had two packages scheduled for delivery THE NEXT DAY! I told the girl that the one package was delivered, and the other was not. As your system should reflect since I gave them both tracking numbers. After more time on the phone with customer service, the driver delivered the other package later that evening.
Second instance: I requested at 9:00 am the day before delivery that I would like to pick up my package in person at the UPS office, which is about a mile away from my house. I check the tracking number, which says that it arrived at 7:00 pm the night before at its destination. Great! I go to pick it up, and spend 30 minutes waiting while an employee calls another office to make sure that they didn't mistakenly receive my package. Finally, my package is brought out by another employee who offered me an apology for my wait. No apology from the gentleman I was dealing with the whole time. Oh and while I was waiting, there were two other package that UPS couldn't find right away, one of which had the same situation as me but this customer's package actually went out on the truck which was not her request.

UPS must be the worst delivery company for non-business consumers, and it is a mystery to me why companies opt to use them rather than some other service, which is more user-friendly... heck, more friendly period! I ordered a package from a shipper (who, on their website asks for special instructions for delivery, which I provided and which was communicated to UPS) and paid extra to get delivery earlier than regular shipping.
UPS ignores the shipper's delivery instructions, and leaves a "Sorry we missed you" note on my door and that they'll attempt another delivery the following day. So I call UPS and am berated by one of their Customer Service Supervisors because I didn't follow THEIR PROCEDURE for insuring that my delivery instructions are met. And then this supervisor proceeds to tell me that anything other than following UPS' procedure is not a guarantee it will be done; that it is up to their driver's "discretion."
I cannot start on my new prescription meds without this product and so have to postpone it for another 24 hours when UPS will re-deliver. After losing it with the supervisor, she told me that she would make an exception and instruct the driver to follow my original request but that there's no way he can come back today. I, in turn, have made a decision. Before I place an order, I will find out which company they use for delivery and if it is UPS and I don't have another delivery company option, I will place my order elsewhere.
The last time I dealt with UPS I had the same problem. In that case, the office provided their driver with my home number and he called me to arrange a place to meet (McDonald's) so I could pick up my package from him. However, the package was too heavy for me to handle so the driver put it in my trunk and I had to wait for my neighbor to take it out of my car and bring it in for me. I was told I should be grateful that the driver was willing to meet up with me while having lunch in the area. THIS IS UPS SERVICE!!
Not if I can help it! If you've been through a similar experience, join me in sending UPS a message - DON'T USE THEM for your package deliveries. The Post Office is better than this and so is FedEx - who don't make their customers jump through hoops to get what they paid for - hassle-free delivery of their packages.What happened to service?

Unfortunately, Fidelity again used UPS and unfortunately my documents were "incorrectly sorted" to a facility in North Carolina. As though the failure to meet their customers' needs were not enough - the handling of the issue by UPS is awful.
In short, they have a call center manned by people who can say little else than "I am sorry" and "It is in transit." They can't even call their own distribution centers claiming they can only email with "urgent" requests for help. And so here I sit on September 29 still not having received a shipment that was sent on September 23 with overnight delivery paid for. No consequences as of yet for UPS and what I am seeing confirms this is usually the case. They need to start experiencing consequences and I will do my part by never using them again.

I then was told to create a UPS My Choice account and specify the packages could be left at my door, and checked the box that the driver is no longer responsible for the package and that I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for it when left at my door. STILL the packages are left at the office, and I'm told the driver is able to override this. Why force people to create accounts and give them the option to release packages when your drivers are just going to ignore it because they feel like it? TERRIBLE customer service.

So essentially, my package is being held hostage. The delivery times are between 9am-7pm, and I must be home to sign for the package due to the UPS driver crossing out the signature line on the back of the "Missed You" ticket. The merchandise I purchased will be sent back to the sender if not successfully delivered within 3 attempts.
I live in an upscale condo with a private entrance. I created a "MyChoice" account so that I could narrow the delivery down to a 4-hour window and the site would not allow me to choose that option for this package.
