    Updated review: Sept. 28, 2015

    As follow up, I did get a call from "Toni" in the Concord, CA branch of UPS. She said the driver was in front of her, and she remained haughty and defiant. I told her it would be better if the driver had at least spoken to me to acknowledge that he'd heard someone speak.

    She continued trying to tell me what a favor he'd done. I asked her "With a response like that are you trying to make me hang up on you?" She responded by saying "That's fine with me." and then hung up on me.

    A perfect example of rude & HORRIBLE customer service. All I can say is I DID get my shipment and I DID get a return call.

    Original Review: Sept. 19, 2015

    First of all, I'm handicapped, and on oxygen 24/7. I'm a 3rd party (receiving end) consumer that was prepared to get draperies for our whole house shipped by UPS. By the time I got to the front door, the driver had unloaded boxes at our small entry way and turned to go back. When I tried to stop him, he kept going. He apparently DID hear my visitor yell to him that they needed to go to the garage. He took the hand truck back to the truck, picked up the balance of the boxes and only because we were standing at the open garage, did he unload them there. Fast, without a word and rude. He turned and took off again, with me trying to call him back to retrieve the packages still left at my front door. He didn't respond at all, not ONE word the entire time he was there. He only moved very fast, and ignored me.

    I have spent the last 1/2 hour with my blood pressure very high, and still angry. I called into UPS Customer Service, they took my info, and tried to tell me what I could do in the future. How about moving those boxes out of the weather into my garage? Because I want the driver to get some sensitivity training regarding handicapped people, the CS Rep said I'd be getting a call in the next hour. I used to like UPS, but this driver crushed any good feelings I had for them.

    I shipped a box to Germany with birthday items for my daughter. I chose UPS since they had a promo code. Went to the store and they measured and weighed the box. 20lbs. 3ft high, 2ft across and 1 foot deep. I paid what they said and the box shipped. Two days later the box was held up at their center in Kentucky. After calling and speaking to several different people the box then moved again. Two days later it was delivered in Germany which was rather unexpected since I only paid for basic delivery and only asked for basic delivery. At no time did anyone call me and I had to call them to figure out what was wrong while the package was held up. Three weeks after delivery I got a call from UPS. They claim the dimensions of the box and the weight was wrong. They also say I have to pay an additional $894.00.

    This is completely outrageous. I do not work for UPS, I simply took my box to them and paid to ship it. I am going to fight the hell out of this since obviously someone who works for them screwed up. Never will I use them again and I will always try my best to ensure anyone I know avoids them also. Even going the further step of anytime I order anything it will not be touched by UPS. It's not a company, it's a extortion racket. Package delivered. Business complete. Train your people and keep your bill. I would have paid it at the store like I did but adding almost 900 bucks after the delivery - you can go have fun with that. If I have to I'm even willing to go to court. Especially after the years of court cases against UPS where they have done similar things to others.

    I run a 3D printing company. I ran out of filament, and trusted UPS with the overnight shipment. Bad mistake. I didn't receive my package until well after 5:00 pm, the time my company closes. I was completely unable to print for an entire day because of this. I could have gotten 2-day shipping for free, but due to the urgent circumstances I paid a considerable amount of extra money to be able to resume business the next day. After the close of business, your delivery is accepted the next day. If I wanted 2-day shipping, I would have used it and saved a bunch of money. UPS will not be receiving another penny from me.

    I signed up to this website to write this review! It's a long story but I had a package that is rerouted to my current address. I requested rerouting of this package through UPS live chat so the agent who helped me changed the address using my address book on the account. On my address book, I clearly typed in apartment number and she confirmed the address including apartment number to me when I requested the reroute. But for some reason the driver failed to deliver the package to me yesterday due to incomplete apartment number. I checked it as soon as the status was updated so I contacted live chat right away to correct this issue and schedule redelivery for today.

    I corrected the address (even though I gave the full address in first place) and the lady confirmed it and scheduled redelivery today. Few hours later, the status was not updated still so I contacted live chat again to confirm the correction was made and the agent told me that correction was successfully made and will be delivered to me by today. However, today I checked the tracking and there was nothing updated on it so I AGAIN contacted live chat to figure out whereabouts of my package and the agent told me that the information wasn't given to the driver on time. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I corrected the address as soon as the status was updated like around 3pm!!

    I explained this nonsense to the agent and she redirected me to the local store who physically has my package and the lady there told me to either pick it up or schedule redelivery tomorrow. This is ridiculous. You guys guaranteed that you will redeliver it to me by today and now you are saying I have to drive an hour to get there and pick it up in order to get it by today??? I am really pissed off and will never ever use UPS again. And I will tell every single person I meet to not use UPS for rest of my life.

    UPS has lost two of my packages, the second package was a replacement from the first that was missing from the system and also opened with items all missing. Both packages contained (5) 1oz gold coins from APMEX. Customer service is horrible and representatives never call you back when they state they will. Customer service calls are answered by foreigners working in Pacific Asia or India who have poor training and do not know company policy. I will do everything in my power to damage UPS's reputation and do my best to hurt their profits. UPS has horrible security and hires employees who are part of

    organized crime. Both packages went into Salt Lake City, UT and disappeared. You are thefts!

    I sent a package containing my son's needed prescription to his apartment in Norfolk, Va. The package was scheduled to arrive to him on Monday, but was delivered to an ODU housing complex two streets from his street address. The addresses were not even remotely similar. I contacted UPS, and they are investigating why the driver decided to drop this package off at a totally different address, and this could take up to 8 days. I then contacted the housing complex where package was delivered, and they informed me that they sent it back with UPS on Tuesday. However, UPS once again, has no idea where the package is. All this, while my son is going without his medication. Never will I ever use UPS again! I have never experienced such a disaster with the U.S. Postal services, so I will always use them in the future.

    Every single package that is delivered to my home by UPS is opened, torn, or smashed. No matter where I order from, if it's delivered by UPS, it will be opened. I wish companies would offer other options for delivery. I have never had this problem with Federal Express or the United States Post Office.

    I received a notice that UPS made an attempt to deliver and would try again next business day. I was hoping at their next attempt it would be received. The second notice I received stated it was their final attempt. It was late when I saw they had made another attempt. With those unsuccessful attempts, I thought I could pick it up at UPS location. I contacted UPS soon after only to find out UPS had already returned my purchase back to shipper. UPS says they made 3 attempts. 3 day ground shipping selection, they do not hold merchandise at their location. UPS is so quick to return merchandise back to sender. It is as if they do not care if you receive your merchandise or not, as long as UPS gets paid for an attempted delivery. I did not have an opportunity to pick up my merchandise at UPS location and the store that shipped item no longer had item in stock.

    I am awaiting delivery of a package that I paid $20 to receive within 48 hours of originating, on 9/8/15. I know and understand the "process" and made sure to be home and available on September 10th. On 9/10/15 UPS did stop. The driver did not ring doorbell to notify household of attempted pkg delivery which requires signature. The driver did not attempt to complete the delivery. Bad attitude? 9/11/15 - UPS driver stops truck in road, looks at house, myself and a painter in front of house with the front entry door open, and he just sit there. Approx. 10 seconds later the driver accelerates and drives away; no attempted delivery. Again, bad attitude? The behavior of the driver would indicate that this driver is anti-social, introverted and incapable of performing the responsibilities required to be a UPS delivery person. Let's see what my personal UPS experience brings today.

    UPS some letters in a box, the total weight was just over 1 pound. I get my bill and the weight was adjusted to 4 pounds because UPS determines that the size of the box and what the weight should be not what the actual weight is. They then charge you for the imaginary weight of in my case is 3 pounds. I find this underhanded to say the least. On the bill it says "audited dimensions" and they bill you. I was told the last time this happen, it's random. Well this happening to me twice in less than a year with all the packages they ship hardly seems random, and seems to be a practice of UPS to get more money out of their customers. Although the added amount bill wasn't much, I'll bet if you add all the "audited dimension" charges it's a lot.

    I paid $74 for a 2 day delivery. All boxes were picked up but mine. I called the customer service and spoke to Micha. She said I could print a new overnight label or pay $15 to have a driver come get it. I told her no and told her I should not have to pay more money for them not doing their job so I asked to speak to a supervisor. Vin proceeded to give me the same song and dance. Finally he said he would send a driver to pick it up within the hour with a overnight label for no extra charge. No one showed. Pickups at 7 pm so I sat by the box until 8 to make sure he took it. At that point I called again and spoke to Marlin. Gave him the story along with my cell # when he asked for it. He said "ok" and disconnected me. My surprise 60th birthday present that should be there on Friday is now tracked to be delivered on Monday. Thank you UPS for nothing. Horrible driver responsibility and mostly customer service ethics.

    I was not home when UPS came and put a form note on my door saying they will try again or I can sign the back to release the package to be dropped off. Leaving this signed and bent back so the driver sees the form stuck to my door at re-delivery, he/she chose to ignore it, kept my package and leave a second note right next to it stating that my item would be sent to an "Access Point" but left the location of the point blank.

    Calling UPS that night. I asked why he/she ignored the release form as I can't be home and will miss it again. The Customer service rep told me this: "The driver has discretion to not leave a package if they feel it is not safe, as the liability of the package is on them." And then told me, "Even though your package doesn't require a signature." A package that never required a signature to begin with is not one's liability but the person who agreed to not require one; the sender and sendee. Even if it did require one, I had signed the UPS release form to leave the package if I'm not home. The liability is not once on the driver ever. He/she is simply choosing to keep my mail and that is against federal law.

    The customer service rep stated that the driver was looking out for the customer's best interest. Breaking the law and telling me that a package I signed to be left at my door is to be sent to an undisclosed Access Point when I don't drive is NOT in my best interest. What's in my best interest is to follow the form rules UPS gave them and uphold the freaking postal laws of not withholding mail! This makes me wonder how many other people have been robbed due to "driver's discretion." This service has always been a nightmare.

    Last summer when I used MyChoice settings to ask the drivers to leave packages at my apartment back door so I can hear them. They left two deliveries in a row to the windowless unmarked storage building next door. The management office even helped me look for these "delivered" boxes. I gave up and changed my account settings back to delivery at the front door, but even that, clearly, is too freaking hard. How hard is it to follow a simple release form procedure that UPS made for itself? Just leave the damn box! Time that they came out, I hope they send the same guy out because he was so easy to explain.

    I was expecting a package that needs signature today, and I went home to wait for this all afternoon till night, and no headphones and all that. I checked at around 6:30 and see an update of "delivery attempted, customer not present", and I was sure I didn't hear any door knock or anything. There's no notice at my door, but one at the door to the apartment building, and usually packages are delivered at my door, so they don't even bother to come in and knock when there's something expensive to be delivered and I'm waiting at home for them. I'm very unhappy.

    I have had so much trouble with the UPS delivery service that I wish companies would stop using them or give them grief for causing so many problems with customers. In my case I live in a second floor apartment and I signed up with ups so that I would get email alerts to let me know when to stay home and receive my order. I follow the instruction, stay, and wait and either they don't come or they will put an attempted delivery on the door and they do not knock and today they left a package at the door. I did not give them permission to do so because it is an apartment and anyone can come through and take your packages. I hate their service. I wish that companies would stop using them because the service is getting worse and a lot of this is because of trifling drivers.

    I recently ordered an auto part from a large online retailer in CA. After I placed the order, I found the part at a lower price at another company, and I decided to return the originally ordered part to the first retailer. I called them and received an RMA. When their package arrived, I placed a new label on the box and went to the UPS Store near me to return it to the seller; because I know that I did not want the part. I did not even open the box. About a week after shipping it back to the retailer via UPS, the fellow at my neighborhood UPS store called to tell me that the box arrived in CA, but it was empty, so UPS discarded it. He said that UPS would reimburse me for the part as well as shipping costs if I filed a claim, which I did.

    About a week later, I received a letter from UPS telling me that my package was substandard, and therefore UPS would not pay my claim. They also said my box was discarded. I called the retailer, and they said this is BS. They drop ship hundreds of parts everyday, and they use packaging that meets standards of all shippers. This company is engaging in consumer fraud. I plan to take them to small claims court, since it's clear that's the only way they will ever pay...

    I went to the UPS store in Janesville, WI on Sept 1st 2015. I came with a gift and two cards. The women working there said they could box it up for me. I paid for the item to be delivered Sept 4th. The 4th came and went. No one answering calls until the 8th due to the holiday. I received 4 different answers (cancelled, damaged, lost, being delivered today) and I STILL have no resolution only to assume someone at your Las Vegas branch stole it. Absolutely unprofessional and unethical way to handle a customer.

    I have had 4 packages out of the last 7 orders I've made online, undelivered due to incompetence with their "Surepost". Each time, the address has been to a secure location with lockers, and it is quickly scanned as delivered and then shortly altered showing it isn't, followed with a litany of excuses (such as forged signatures, claiming that I've moved even though a day prior, they'd brought another package in the same order, claiming that the box was damaged in transit, but never returned to sender). I've averaged a delivery speed of over a month because of all the searching that has to be done to find these "lost" packages.

    Thankfully, the customer service departments on the sending ends have been solid when it comes to attempting to resolve the issue, but even their specialists have remarked at the lack of communication and reliability with UPS, and more specifically the UPS Surepost. I am not the kind of person who typically takes to review sites to rant, but I am appalled and exhausted from constantly having to chase a package around that should have been delivered in 3-5 days. Avoid any UPS option if you have any other choice. Pay for something better and you'll thank yourself.

    I paid for next day delivery, trying to get $200 worth of tickets to clients. The status was continually "in transit." When I called the day it was supposed to be delivered they said there was nothing I could do. The next day, the day of the event, I called to pick it up at the center it was at - they told me they would call me back with details and never did. When I called to get a refund I was redirected 3x and had to explain and repeat my tracking number MANY times, only to be told I would have to wait and call back the next day. I am never going to count on this shipping service ever again. The package was being delivered in the SAME STATE about 1 hour away.

After inspection they sent the package to my Roanoke address without contacting me where there is no one to pick it on my name.

    I tracked two packages I was to receive from the same vendor. Both were reported out from delivery at 3 am in the morning from their facility, 20 minutes from my house. One package came at 3:40, I asked where was the other. Driver said his records said he was to have two for me, but only one was on the truck. I asked him to please call and find my other package. He said I needed to. I called and was told it was on another truck and I would have by 7 pm. Called back at 6:55 since package did not come. Was told it was out on the truck and I would have it tonight.

    Waited on front porch until 7:55 and checked tracking on computer, and it said delivery attempted, receiver not available. I was sitting on my porch and they never came. I called again and was told it was after 8 pm and I would not get the package until Tuesday as Monday is a holiday and that the first delivery attempt was made, even though I told them that I was sitting on the porch and no delivery was attempted. Also, the package did NOT require a signature so even if they had come, it could have been left. But, since I was sitting there, I know that no one came and made an attempt. I am now on hold with a supervisor as I need my package by tomorrow, been on the phone for 40 minutes and he comes back and tells me there is nothing he can do.

    My grandson waited all afternoon for his birthday card. The UPS Van was never on the street. When contacted that night they said that the envelope was set on the porch (lie #1). Then after 24 hours they said it was delivered across the street to a house with white roof (lie #2 - checked and house roof not white). Then at 3 days they said it was delivered at cross street (lie #3). Then the investigation (lie #4 not 8 days - 16). Then, most incredulously, the result of the investigation was that they called the addressee (my wife) and stated that she had confirmed receipt (bold faced lie #1, typical lie #5).

    I called the UPS customer service line because I see that my package has arrived at the Hodgkins location and it says it won't be delivered for 4 days to my location of Racine, so I called to ask if I can hold for pick up today on Friday from the Hodgkins location at 9:30 am. I was directed to someone in South Asia that was hard to understand and didn't understand what I was trying to request of him to do. So I tried requesting him to transfer me to his manager, which he gave me a run around of why I needed to talk to the manager when he has answered my questions already. At this point I became fairly irate of speaking to someone in a different country so I told him to transfer me to someone in the States. I was told that all UPS affairs are directed through this number and there is no US based number to call.

    I would just like to warn everyone that plans on using UPS that your package will take forever to receive and you will never talk to someone in the United States. I know I will never be using UPS for any of my transactions any longer and I order a lot of things online so I will be searching for another vendor who ships via FedEx because they actually can hold a package or change a package's route when requested of them and you can actually get in contact with the different stations where your package actually is instead of someone across the world.

    I ordered a college book for my daughter that was supposed to be delivered yesterday. It never showed up. The UPS man said he delivered it. He never did. Heard two stories. First they said it was delivered. Then they said it was left at the door. Today UPS shows up for my neighbor and did not even look at us. I called UPS and they blamed everything on Amazon, not their driver. Even after cussing them out and telling them my daughter was going to fail her class because of their ignorance, all they could say was "Sorry" and "Our driver does not lie." I will never use them again. I will pay the extra money for FedEx. All I can say is that UPS are liars and don't give a ** where they deliver the packages, and are also thieves. I will never use these people again.

    Fellow South Africans, please beware of this dodgy courier service. They are the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life. UPS Couriers South Africa is extremely unprofessional in all regards. I have never seen a company operate like UPS Couriers South Africa. They have no sense of urgency to rectify mistakes they make, even if it is at the cost of the client. Beware of UPS Couriers South Africa!

    Firstly, it was a nightmare to get my item cleared at customs. I had to keep following up what the problems are. Not once did they phone me. Apparently, my ID was missing and as a result the item could not clear. They did not make any effort to contact me in this regard. If I did not track my parcel, it would probably have been sent back to the USA. I spoke to them via phone during this time multiple times. I spoke to a lady name Lebo, and another names Nomsa. BOTH said they will phone me back but never did. I spent a lot of time phoning them because they just do not care. The service is shocking!

    NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE UPS SOUTH AFRICA! But, wait, there is more! UPS Couriers South Africa has also sent me an incorrect invoice for customs duty via email. Before they deliver, I had to pay the invoice via EFT. The driver arrived a couple days later with a much cheaper invoice and requested payment again. I checked and found they gave me the wrong invoice the first time round. I paid about R2000 more than what I should have. I phone UPS Couriers South Africa numerous times to try and resolve the problem. They made me feel like a criminal for requesting a refund on money they wrongfully took. The wrong payment was solely because of their incompetence. They were not even very apologetic for taking my money.

    I was told there is no way they can refund immediately. I will have to wait 10 - 12 days. I told them I can’t wait so long. They should rectify it quicker. 16 days later I got another invoice from them; this reminded me that they NEVER even refunded me. I once again had to phone them to try and find out why they have not refunded my hard earned money they took from me because of their mistake. I still don't have my refund until today. I asked them to refund me as soon as possible as I need the money. They ignored my request and decided not to even pay in the 10 - 12 days it usually takes them to refund stolen money.

    Just to make thing a little sweeter. When the delivery guy came to drop off the parcel I was about 5 min from home. I opened the gate to the complex via phone and quickly phoned UPS to ask them to please tell the courier I'm almost there. I was told they are NOT allowed to contact the courier for any reason. I explained that he won't even be able to get out the gate unless they get hold of him because he needs an access code. They simply refused very rudely and arrogantly. This is absolutely unacceptable.

    I complained about the fact that they are not refunding me as it's a lot of money. Their response was bland and unhelpful. There is no matter of urgency to keep customers happy. If I don't keep following up I will just lose my money. I consider UPS Couriers South Africa a bunch of thief. Steer clear if you want great service. There are many courier companies in South Africa that are way better and much cheaper. UPS Couriers South Africa will NOT see any business from me in the future.

    I had items delivered to my house from Sprint (smart phone and tablet). Sprint informed and guaranteed that a signature will be required for delivery and that UPS would not drop the box on the lawn and just leave. I had done this since we had several incidents where items were stolen when it is driver leave items on front door. And yes today exact same thing happened. I had contacted UPS to make sure someone is at home to sign and had given Sprint the name of person who can accept the package. What was all that done for? UPS for a big company your delivery really is terrible. And Sprint don't use such a terrible deliver service. Drivers don't give a Damn about your items. If I could I would give UPS a -10.

    I was waiting for a package that was to be delivered on a Friday. All I got was a UPS note that said "Sorry we missed you." I was home, and the buzzer # was on the package. I stayed home to be here when UPS got around to delivery, so when I saw that the driver said he tried to deliver, I knew we had another drive-by to save time. I tested our buzzer at the entrance door and in my apartment... both were working. My husband tried it when he arrived home... working also. I called UPS, and literally was told the driver had no reason to lie so she believed him. They would try again Monday, I was told. I asked if he were still in town population under 9000, and she said yes. I explained that he could bring the package back and deliver it right now. She said no she couldn't contact him. Then she suggested I meet him at a shopping center. I paid for the delivery, so I refused that.

    He brought it today, Monday and I buzzed him in then I ran downstairs to see him. I asked if he were the one that left the note Friday, and he said yes. I explained that I tested that buzzer several times and it worked EVERY TIME. He kept pushing that he had tried to deliver. Ha! I've had this done to me at least 7 times, maybe more. I've watched as the truck drove past my home without stopping, then said they did stop. Some drivers were very dependable through the years, but after this experience I will never order anything that is delivered by UPS.

    I ordered a package online and paid the shipping. When the package was sent out I saw on the tracking that it could not be shipped to where I had provided so they changed the address without contacting me. I called UPS at 11.30 that day and the lady told me where they were shipping it to. It was a old address of mine I hadn't lived at in 8 yrs. They found it by google instead of calling and asking me. I gave the lady a new address at 11.30 that day and they still delivered it to the wrong address that I no longer lived at. This item I can't reorder, it was limited time. The package was never found and ups will not talked to me at all or offer any help. Everyone I try to talk to there has a different lie to tell.

    I live in an apartment complex and leaving packages in front of doors is just a bad idea and often come up missing when left at the door. Sometimes even when the status says "delivered" to the manager's office this isn't true either. I have recently retired and am able to actually be home when the deliveries are usually made at this location. I thought this is the end of my woes because now when the person comes I will be home to sign for and accept the package. How wrong I was! I would place an order online and the shipper would choose UPS. Shortly after the package was picked up at its origin I would receive an email informing me of an expected date to receive the package. At the top of this email was written "Special Instructions: This package must have a signature to be left. Sign now online so driver can leave it."

    I thought this to be silly as I WANTED to sign for the package and NOT have it left at my door (unannounced). The day come for arrival of said package and when I checked status online it showed delivered "left at the door." So I called UPS to see why they would send me email stating "signature required" and leave it anyway. I was told it was driver's discretion. The next week I received another package exact same email and having it left anyway. This time I contacted UPS via chat on their website. I was told the same thing about driver's discretion.

    I told this person I was home both times why was the package just left? No attempt was even made for a signature to have the driver decide whether or not to leave it. I was then subjected to an upselling pitch for a fee. I could have them deliver it to another address. I then lost my cool. I went to dictionary.com looked up the word "required" copied and pasted it into the chat window and asked the person to forward it to the proper management personnel as the meaning of the word is lost on those that run things there and bade them a good day.

    My paycheck was to be delivered by UPS. A special rate was paid by the company I work for to deliver in one day on a Saturday. The carrier arrived at my door at 8:15 am. I was in the shower and yelled to him to wait while I grabbed a towel. He took off, leaving a slip on the door with me trying to chase him down the road and get him to stop. He did not. He put 3 marks on the slip, one indicating the package would be delivered the following business day, the other marked item said it would be returned to a UPS facility, no address given, and the last item marked said it had been left with a neighbor.

    I immediately called Customer Service and was told not to worry that he would return in two hours. I waited three hours and called again and was told no, but he would return by about three pm. I called again at four. This time I was told they had no idea where my package was, which remember is my paycheck, and to check with them Monday because their system was down. Never send anything with this company. They are not only unreliable, they have foreign customer service reps who lie just to get you off the phone. Now I am without a paycheck and have no idea how long it will take my employer to put a stop payment and replace or if one of their unreliable employees is currently in possession of my check.

Now that I have contacted them they have told me it is lost and I have to wait another 8 business days for them to look for it. My calculations say that that means I won't even be able to get a replacement for a total of 25 days since the package was lost. Their response is that this is like looking for my keys. They said you need time to look for your keys so I have to give them time. I asked why they didn't discover it was lost. Their response was that they don't track every package.

    I was to receive a package that required my signature. In order to do this I have to be home from work, which is not the biggest deal in and of itself being that I can work remote. Now, what I do take issue with is the fact that UPS is unwilling to give any kind of a delivery window. I was instructed that the delivery could take place from 9 AM to 7 PM. Really UPS? Are we attempting to outdo cable companies in the 90s? I'm supposed to be a prisoner in my house for 10 hours because you were unable to narrow down a two hour window? That is absolutely unacceptable.

    Furthermore, when I spoke with "customer service" (term loosely used) I spoke with somebody seemingly on interested in helping me with this issue. The attitude over the phone was "that's the way it is, can I help you with anything else." I decided to try and navigate the cumbersome and non-user-friendly website in an attempt to see if there was anything that I was able to do from my end to help mitigate this 10 hour imprisonment… Nope.

    So UPS, you're telling me that in the year 2015 you were unable to coordinate with your drivers or determine routes so that customers are able to get some semblance of a delivery window for items that require signatures? Really? For Christ's sake, Comcast has gotten their stuff together to the point where they are able to schedule service. I am unimpressed with UPS's customer service, their website functionality and their business model as a whole. My suggestion: use ANY OTHER shipping company but UPS.

    Whilst on holiday in Italy we visited a winery and ordered 5 cases of wine to be sent home. The winery used UPS. The winery informed my the delivery was sent and gave me the code to track it. I logged in and could see that our wine was on its way. No damage was logged at Verona and Bologna in Italy or in Barking in England. However damage was logged a few hours later in Croydon, London. I can only conclude that this 'damage', which has not yet been explained by UPS, occurred whilst my wine was in their care and I believe makes them responsible. After the damage was logged their tracking system details how I refused the package. This is a blatant lie as they never contacted me. It then goes on to record how they have destroyed/disposed of the damaged part and sent the rest back to the winery in Italy.

    I eventually spoke with someone from UPS after going round in circles on their automated recording for him to tell me exactly what I could already see on the screen. I don't like to be rude about people but he was an idiot! He did not understand my complaint at all. Eventually he did get someone from the Croydon depot to call me but she was of no help either. I have emailed UPS. Someone called Aubrey did reply to tell me that my wines would be delivered on the following Monday. I have replied to ask how this is possible when they are already back in Italy or destroyed. I would like answers from UPS but they are not forthcoming. I would also like my wine! I will never use UPS by choice given they lack of care with my shipment and their shockingly poor customer service.

    I used to hold this company in high regards years ago. Since then, they have gone downhill and after my recent experience, I'm convinced they may have hit bottom. I was instructed to ship a small parcel with the recipient's account # for billing. I go to a "UPS Store" just to find out they don't take parcels without a preprinted label. I got referred to another store by this employee and found out second store is in the same situation as first store. I do want to add that both stores are listed on UPS.com as "full service" locations.

    I return to office with parcel in hand, called 1-800-pick-ups, got a hold of a representative. UPS representative confirmed that the two full-service stores were correct and that they can't take parcels without a preprinted label. I was told to go online and "create a shipment" to make a label. I do that only to find out at the end that I am unable to bill recipient using recipient's account number. Another call to 1-800-pick-ups and this time another representative told me I needed to tender shipment at a "UPS Hub Center".

    UPS.com doesn't identify locations as hub centers so I was told the rep would help find one. Hub centers, by their very nature are transfer points so of course, with my good fortune, the nearest hub center is many miles away. I was told cut-off for UPS ground at the hub center would be about an hour but counter hours are until 9P. I asked the rep if I would be able to tender for next business day pickup if I missed cut-off and I was told cut-off is within the hour. I then asked what about the 9P facility hours and again, same response "cut-off within 1H".

    It was clear the rep was reading off of a flip card and I was getting nowhere. I didn't want to chance a drive out just for them to refuse acceptance because I missed cut-off. Do yourself a favor and avoid this business. They are difficult to do business with. Now I know why my employer ships exclusively with a company that rhymes with Red Tex. We can walk in with account numbers, fill out waybills if necessary and off you go. No hassles, no runaround, no headaches.

Later on that night, I discovered by the checking online that the same UPS delivery person also decided for his own convenient that my second, very different looking package coming from Walmart.com should also be not delivered and return as refuse. I was able to call and talk to a UPS service representative to tell her about this. She insisted that she will take the side of her delivery person that I refused packages from both companies. Now Walmart.com has to make a second / replacement shipment. I searched online to try to find a complaint hotline or email contact. UPS had none for us to voice our complaint.

    In short, UPS reflected an attitude that there is no place and no responsibility for even an average customer service. When a customer complaint about a mistake in delivery, UPS will assume it is the fault of the customer. Customers pay for most of the UPS delivery service, but UPS feel it is fine for us to pay for UPS service but not getting it. UPS should be avoided.

"Service" rep then proceeded to tell me they knew where the package was and the driver would retrieve it and deliver it the following day. I was told this everyday for four days straight. Supervisors were rude and one even refused to hang up the phone thus preventing me from leaving a review of my "customer service" experience.

    I had to contact the person who had purchased the undelivered gift for me, they in turn had to contact the company where gift was purchased, who in turn had to contact UPS. Their first call to UPS "customer service" was disconnected by the UPS rep. Their second call yielded a similar response as mine - UPS knows the location of the package, the driver will retrieve it and deliver it the following day, or maybe the day thereafter, but definitely within the week! The gift company is now sending a replacement, but unfortunately, they cannot send it FedEx as they have a contract with UPS. By the way, I wonder where the UPS call center is located? All the reps, including supervisors, that I spoke with had very strong foreign accents.

    Calling any number for UPS will connect you to an Asian call center where they speak poor English and will say anything to appease you whether it's true or not. Delivery drivers are unable to do their jobs, they leave packages in unsafe locations, make poor personal judgment calls such as not delivering packages at all because they "Believe" the address in missing information when in fact it's not. Example: I operate a campground and have supplies delivered on a regular basis. When the delivery never shows up I check the tracking only to see this > The suite number is either missing or incorrect. This may delay delivery. "WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE THE ADDRESS." / "WE'VE CONTACTED THE RECEIVER TO REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION." (A delivery change for this package is in progress. / Modification of the receiver's address.) When nothing was modified or changed at all??

    Then even more confusion and delays due to the insufficient skills of the web designers being unable to design a database that is able to detect whether or not you made changes or modifications. I could literally go on and on about the complete lack of common sense UPS has displayed over the last decade. What burns my hide more than anything else is regardless of the amount of complaints, surveys they send out, and negative feedback to the call centers.. nothing ever changes or improves. Why? Because they could care less.

UPS offered very poor customer support and provided no answer as to where my package had gone or any solution as to how I could go about locating it. Without any notice three months later it arrived at my door. UPS failed to provide any notice that they had found my shipment (and still did not provide answers after it was delivered months late).

    Now, again, UPS has failed to provide legitimate customer support as they have failed to deliver another package which I have had overnighted. Despite putting the correct delivery address UPS has marked my package as 'undeliverable'. After over an hour of attempting to contact any sort of representative from UPS I finally made contact with someone who provided no answer but assured me that my package will be arriving tomorrow reasoning that since the driver who had failed to deliver today had already left the area there would be no possible way of getting my package before then.

I will admit that I really like their email notification system (I am notified by email when the parcel leaves the sender and I am notified again by email when the parcel is actually delivered to the house).

    I just thought it was rather curious that with all of the delivery notices, the parcel was left at the mailbox or on the steps in front of the door but the email notification indicated that a delivery attempt was made (i.e. door knocking or buzzing) and the timing of the email notification was at a specific time when I was in fact at home so my conclusion was that they left the parcel in place without ever attempting to knock or buzz. I had no problem with this since I always found the parcel where it was supposed to be as per the emails sent to me.

    Yesterday, however, I got the delivery notification email and when I looked around outside, the parcel was nowhere to be found. I called the 1800 number for UPS and they told me by my tracking # that it was delivered to a different address - the wrong address - oops - and promised it would be corrected within the next two hours. I asked them about the door buzzing and whether their carriers were required to buzz first and then drop off and they confirmed that they were in fact, supposed to announce their deliveries. Well, wouldn't you know it, but at just a few minutes before or after 4pm on Thur I got another email notification from UPS indicating that their delivery person came to our door, attempted to make delivery but since no one was home, the parcel was taken to the UPS delivery centre and that I should arrange to go to pick this up.

    First of all, I was actually home waiting for this very delivery since I knew it had been delivered to the wrong address. Nobody actually came to the door to knock or buzz. For the first time ever, the delivery person made the arbitrary decision to not leave the parcel at the door or in the mailbox. It is not as if our mailbox is difficult to find nor is our door buzzer hard to see. I can assure you that when that door buzzer goes, one can hear it in any part of the house, so I know that nobody rang it.

    I called UPS and again requested that the parcel be delivered to my house as this was the service that was paid for. We do not pay for deliveries to the wrong address nor do we pay for deliveries where the recipient must go to pick the parcel up. I wonder what the legal implications would be for the delivery of parcels to the wrong address. In my opinion, this company fails to live up to their service commitment. I would never use them for my delivery needs. I would strongly advise anybody to research other alternative delivery services. This is no way to run any business.

    Now I have been told that a signature is required and that I must go to the UPS Depot to pick up the parcel. All this, due to the fact that the delivery person initially delivered the parcel to the incorrect address and then refused to amend the delivery to deliver to the correct address. It is most interesting to note that at no time was the responsibility for the error acknowledged by the courier when the initial email notification was addressed properly but the delivery person dropped off the parcel to the wrong address. Unbelievable.

    I was told through their tracking and over the phone twice that my package was in the Concord distribution center and I could go and get it. Went there, waited over 1 hour in a sea of people so long it stretched out the door to be told by the idiot blond supervisor that my package was on the truck and there was nothing she could do. That was after she insisted it was delivered today. I told her but your tracking systems says it was in Concord. She could not have cared less. Went home phoned the service desk who said "no it was in the distribution center".

    This company could not care less about its company values or its customers. They are arrogant and flat out stupid and the people who work for them could not care less about their customers or customer satisfaction.

    They refused to deliver my package, said HSN would only allow me to sign at the door, which is a lie. I called HSN. A supervisor, put me 30 minutes. When she finally came on did not say her name. I realize I was angry but I had every right to be. Instead of apologizing and helping get my package she was rude, mean and ignorant to me. She was right and I was wrong. I said, "This is my package. I paid for it. You have no right to withhold it." I said to her that I was getting different answers and she said and I Quote "I am a supervisor. I KNOW what I am talking about."

    I said "Fine you tell me what I supposed to do. 1) I cannot sign the back of the notice because they will not leave it. 2) I cannot be home. I work. 3) I cannot bring my ID to the station. You tell me what I am supposed to do." She lied. After the 3rd attempt you are able to go to the station and pick it up. I said then "You will not send it back" and she said "No we hold for five days after the 3rd attempt and then it gets sent back". So I was lied. They sent my package back the same day. Called and was told my shipping would be refunded, not. Also went on their website and got an email I would be contacted and I was not.

    UPS always claim they make delivery attempts when in fact they do not even show up to knock on your door. They done this numerous times to me. Also they implemented a new Delivery Access Point which means that they automatically re-route your package without an attempt to be deliver to the closest access point which delays the packages for an additional business day and to make matters worse; there is nothing you can do.

    I live in an area outside of town, where we only get mail twice a week. There is a company that is less than two miles away from our house that takes in packages for the whole community. However, the company has decreased their hours, this has decreased the days that we can get packages. My issue is that UPS will not deliver to my house, but to another address even with my continuous complaints.

    My name and address are on the package, but they have NEVER delivered it to the correct address and then they have someone else sign for me. Whoever, is in the building. They say it is because of their "Natural Gas" vehicles. However I live less than 2 miles away from the location they are dropping off the packages. They say its because of the size of the truck. However my gate and home is right off the road, always open and a firetruck, FedEx truck and PGE crane has fit through the gate where I live. It has been rumored that he pays the mailman to deliver packages for him, so that he doesn't have to come up at all.

    I use UPS for both business and personal. In both cases, I have had nothing but great experiences with UPS. The driver who delivers/picks up from my small business has been the same driver for multiple years. He is always outgoing and friendly as well as helpful. Packages arrive in the same condition as they were sent by the original sender and always arrive 2-3 days faster than when sent from other carriers. Whenever possible, I request that my shipments be sent by UPS. I have heard from several vendors that this is a common request. My home services have been consistent as well, even through moves over the years. I Highly recommend this company all around.

    Cost to ship is now dimensional rate (versus actual weight). So a 1 lb shipment that is in a 12x12x12 box is charged like it weighs 4+ lbs. Also, when a signature is required, it is $4 per PACKAGE, even if there are multiple packages in the shipment - A 10 package shipment requiring signature for delivery costs an extra $40. ABSURD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS - ESPECIALLY THE WAY UPS HANDLES PACKAGES IN TRANSIT. The UPS facilities and drivers do not give a Rat's well...you know what. OMG. UPS IS GOUGING SHIPPERS AND CONSUMERS.

    I have had the worst experience with UPS. I moved from HI to UT and I shipped my 65 inch TV. I got insurance because it's an electronic and that's what you do. I had the TV boxed up by someone who does it for a living, I didn't just throw it in a box and ship it out. When the delivery driver showed up, my husband and I went out to help right away. It's a big heavy box we assumed the driver would want help. Well he didn't wait, as we walked out the door we saw the driver drop one corner 3 ft onto his cart. He then laid it flat (there were arrows saying not to do that) and I think at that point we were in shock on what we were seeing. The driver then THREW my other packages on top of it, one of those packages weighed 50 lbs. This is all while one end of the TV was on the cart and the other on the truck so it was tilted, he then jumped out of the truck pulled his cart and the other side of the TV dropped 3 ft.

    Again I think we didn't know what to do, we were standing there with our mouths opened just kind of dumbfounded. He then turned the cart into a dolly and stood everything up and a box falls off, he is scurrying around like he is in race to finish! He wheels everything to our garage then proceeded to pull the TV off the cart and it of course DROPS again. All the while he is talking about a TV he shipped that was broken. We opened the box and there was a crack down the middle and both bottom corners were completely smashed.

    Now I'm both the shipper and receiver, I filed a claim. I didn't receive any notification that a claim had been opened or what the next steps are. Two days later we came home and there was a note from UPS saying they tried to pick it up for inspection. That would have been great information to know, I called UPS to find out whats going on. They said "Yes we need to pick it up to inspect it," so I made arrangements for them to get it. A week later I still haven't received anything, an email, a call, nothing.

    I receive a call from she said a 3rd party insurance company, she asked me about the packaging and when I told her I was both the shipper and receiver she said "You need to call them and tell them not to ship the TV back" and she would send me a email for more information she will need. This was on a Friday afternoon. I called UPS and they said "Too late, it's already on its way back." I was floored because again I didn't have a clue what's going on. I read the email from the 3rd party and they need specific pictures which I don't have because UPS SHIPPED MY PACKAGE BACK! I checked my claim Sunday online and found it had been denied, I of course disputed the claim. This whole experience has made me sick and I will NEVER ship UPS again.

    Not the first time this has happened, but the worst. A delivery about 1 week ago, they never rang my bell. I went to throw out the garbage and fell over the packages hurting my ankle, cut my knee. I hurt all over from the fall, and where I live you do not leave packages in front of apartment doors. I was at least lucky they were all still there, so I reported it to UPS. This week a package was supposed to be delivered and they claimed I was not home, which is not true and both my bells work. They took it upon themselves to send it to a call center. I am elderly; I have a bad heart and disabled, I am not saying this for pity just stating fact.

    I have no one to pick it up and I cannot. I never authorized them to use a call center. I made a few phone calls, spoke to supervisors as well and each one assured me it would be taken care of. I received a phone call this morning, after all of that she said it would be at the call center and I told her I wanted the package delivered to me. She said she would call the driver to have him deliver it to my address today and it was still delivered to a call center. The last time I asked them put on record that I am disabled and to please ring my bell, give me time to answer and hand me the package, they said they would. Some ring the bell and then just leave it on the floor and I have trouble bending and picking them up.

    They told me for sure it would be picked up from the call center today and re-delivered today, but I called the vendor and they were kind enough to check. They were told I won't get it until Friday according to UPS. I had called UPS just before I called the vendor, so once more I was lied to. What ever happened to customer service? P.S. I am sorry but I don't know how to upload receipts or pictures.

    Once again, with no fault of mine, I purchased an item and the shipper decided to use UPS as the shipping company. First mistake, the day of delivery, I get notified - my package was delivered and left at my front door. I found it very odd the delivery was made at 5:52PM according to their records, but I just arrived home at 5:55, and there was no package there! I walked around the house making sure the driver didn't mistake the back yard or any other part of my home as the front door and no package anywhere on the premise. I then called UPS hoping to get some sort of assistance with this matter and I get another idiot telling me, "our records show it was delivered".

    Finally frustrated and wondering why in the hell would anyone use this company for shipping, I decided to inform the person I was speaking to who assured me the package was delivered and that I was wrong, that I have 24 hour surveillance around my entire house and I checked the time they claimed it was delivered and guess what?? No crappy brown UPS truck anywhere in sight! I then decided to check an hour before and an hour after said delivery and no truck in sight ever! The sad thing is this has happened in the past to me and after filing a complaint with their company, my package miraculously appears days later followed by a phone call from their dispatcher trying to justify what happened. Not only am I angry at UPS, but I am extremely angry at the companies who continue to use them as the only viable company to ship with in order to save money at my expense.

    I told this last company if USPS was offered as an option, I would pay the difference not to deal with UPS!!! The truth is, if I decide to ever buy anything online and the company only offers them as a shipper, I will not purchase from you. UPS is horrible at customer service, and the companies who continue to do business with them are just as bad and will not be getting my money ever!! Needless to say, after informing UPS about my surveillance, they promised they will look into this matter and look for a resolution. The only resolution should be to hire honest employees and provide the service you are committing to!!! I hope people learn from my multiple mishaps and stay away from UPS as a shipping option!

    I'm a retail business and I have been shipping with UPS for over a year now. I had my first damaged piece a couple of months back - I put in a claim. The customer upon discovering all the broken glass used the packing material to gather up all the broken pieces and threw it all away. UPS denied my claim because I did not have the original packing material - only photos of the packaging, broken contents etc. A week later another piece was broken - this time I was able to get the customer to save all the broken parts. This time they denied my claim because the box was not the right thickness - my box was rated for 5x the weight and size of the item I was shipping but UPS said it needed to be rated at the highest that is manufactured because they stack boxes on a pallet and it needs to sustain huge amounts of weight.

    Another week goes by, another piece is broken; this time I am told not to put the claim through the normal way, my sales rep will handle. Weeks go by: he no longer returns phone calls or emails. I get a letter stating the claim has been denied, even though I never filed the claim per my rep's instructions. I am still fighting for this one - I have since moved to FedEx. UPS is a horror show.

They did this to no less than 5 packages that day, according to our security. Security sent them back to UPS to be corrected, since they have 5 packages with more than one person's name on them.

    UPS instead of correcting their mistake, noted all packages as "Missing part of address." and sent them all back to the original companies. UPS Ground customer service claims our addresses were missing part of the address.

The air handling unit (26#) arrived when forecast, and was dropped off in my front yard and given to my next door neighbor (9 Years old) to complete the delivery. The other unit, (84#), was not with it (so they say). When I tracked the package they said it had the wrong address, however the package that was delivered labeled 2 of 2. How could that have happened? I called UPS and was told that it was misrouted and they would find it and call me back, they did not. Over the next 5 days I was promised 4 different call backs and never received one.

    When my frustration level reached the breaking point on day 3 I insisted on speaking to a supervisor. After being on hold for 34 minutes my call was automatically re-routed to the original menu and I had to start over. This time when I got to a human she stayed on the line with me till the supervisor took the call. When he answered he was hostile and rude to me and told me to call the local office to try to find my package, then he hung up. I did so and they could not find the unit. (What happened to the scanners?) It finally turned up the next day, crushed beyond use. My vender is going to reship as soon as UPS picks it up. They tried today but my front gate was closed so they just left a note (in the grass). If there was any alternative to UPS I would never use them again, but there is no alternative.

As I entered this location I received the worst treatment that I've ever had there. My fiancé & I have been going here for years to have business cards made, faxes sent, copying done & never have we been treated with such rudeness. I guess he's the manager an older guy seemingly in his 60's as well as the older lady there treated us terribly because the box wasn't taped.

    The guy was saying rudely, "THIS HAS TO BE TAPED BEFORE IT CAN BE SHIPPED. WE NEVER HAVE ALLOWED ANYONE TO SHIP ANYTHING WITHOUT IT BEING TAPED." I'm 35 years old & I've been receiving mail & shipped things for half my life. Instead of them calmly saying that they would either charge $2.14 for them to tape it or they could sell us the tape, they again were rude & disrespectful in that presentation, as if I was trying to have them do something for me freely. I don't know if this incident has anything to do with the racial tension that's been going on in this area but I definitely would like something done about this matter & whatever matters that could associate with this type of problem. In the meanwhile I will be seeking counsel so that my voice will be heard about this incident & allow people to know what to expect when dealing with the people at this location that represent your company.

    I ordered two tickets for a show and the supplier shipped them via UPS. I received an email from UPS advising delivery would be the following day. I waited for delivery but by 5:00pm nothing had arrived so I called "customer service". They advised that delivery was now 24 hours later. This means I now have to take two days off work to receive one letter. When challenged as to why I was sent an email the rep simply said "it's our systems".

    I finally spoke to a manager who could offer no further information and ended up putting the phone down on me. I pointed out that if they couldn't deliver when quoted they shouldn't send the original email. They disagreed. I asked to speak to her manager - she refused to give me any details. My friends call them Utterly Pathetic Service, until today I disagreed but I now know where they are coming from!!! I have bought additional holiday this year so in essence this costs me.

    A package was delivered to our new house for a former resident. I was not here but had people cleaning the house before we moved in. The driver dropped a package off and next thing the cleaning ladies heard was the driver making a ruckus going in both sides of our grass, tearing up. I took pictures that day and I have a timestamp. When I called them I didn't hear anything for 24 hours. The next day I had a friend waiting for cable to be installed and the doorbell ring. They came to investigate my claim that they tore up the yard without contacting me first. They said they tried to call but they never left a message. They said that because there is a moving truck sitting in our driveway that had just gotten there an hour before that they were not responsible for the damage to the grass. Their very is that the moving truck did it.

    The moving truck got there an hour before the gentleman got there. They were only there that day. I advised the supervisor that I had witnesses and he refused to talk to them. I advised the supervisor Albert ** what the witnesses had seen. I asked him why he did not leave a message and was told that I should have known he had called by the number?

    UPS lost a very valuable package that was tracked the whole time until it arrived at the Laurel distribution center in MD. Somehow this huge, costly item is nowhere to be found. The guaranteed delivery was Friday the 24th, evening by 8pm. I am writing this on Monday afternoon the 27th. We have been on the phone with UPS all day and have driven to the location that states our package is available for pick up. Never mind the guaranteed delivery--apparently they decided to skip it this time to make us pick up an item they don't have. We are leaving the country tomorrow morning; the package was to enable us to bring our family pet with us.

    We have no options to get a rushed new item, or even able to buy the specific item in a store. They completely screwed us over, and Amazon is going to open an investigation on them for "misplacing" our expensive item. Amazon has also issued us a refund because of UPS mishandling our package. I forever trusted and relied on UPS before this incident. I've even worked for the company seasonally and was thoroughly impressed with their business model. The UPS customer service and people in Laurel have been zero help in making the effort to find our item or holding whoever is responsible for handling the package. I now officially only trust FedEx to deliver things on time and when they guarantee.

They had the original date for today for delivery and they did not deliver it. They change the date for 4 days out more. It sat in their warehouse for Days when it should have been shipped out. Had they shipped it when they were supposed to I could have received it on time. They do not care if people get the package is on time.

    My package was not delivered because the address did not have my unit number noted in the label which was never required. At ground level entrance where all the drivers get access to our condominium building there is a electronic board were he would locate my name, dial to my apartment and ask the number and floor or he could ask the security gate when they let the truck in. I was in the apartment awaiting the package so there is no excuses.

    This is the first time something like this happened to me and minutes later I received a email in my smartphone noting the driver could not deliver the package because the missing unit number and would try again next Monday. I called right away to customer service (5 PM) telling them I need my package today (Friday) or next day (Saturday) because this a home address. Without any success since several hours later I received another email rescheduling to the next Monday.

There is no complaint department, there is no department that actually attempts to provide service to paying customers, and no department that helps with any problems.

Every other number is disconnected or sends you back to the awful "customer service" number. They refuse to give the number for their corporate office or the actual handling facility that is processing your shipment. Its obvious UPS does NOT care about their customers nor do they care for repeat business. I will never ever willingly use UPS again, as long as I live.

I called and asked if it would be delivered on Saturday and was told no not till Monday and that the weather was in New Jersey the day it left. Actually I think they put it on a train and it was delayed but didn't want to refund my money so they use the severe weather excuse. And say it's out of their control.

No, they can only leave them in WATERTOWN almost 3 miles away from my home. I'm at loss for words for how incompetent these idiots are.

    Please allow me to tell you what UPS did to me! On May 28th, 2015 we issued a pick-up for a box containing the rear end for our lawn mower. We inadvertently entered in the value of the part at $100, having no idea of the value. On June 28th we received a call from the gentlemen whom was to be repairing and returning it to us, stating he never received the package. Long story short, UPS had lost our 35 lb pkg. They sent us an email with links on where to file a claim. Right away without even taking a day to look for it, never mentioning that they were never going to reimburse us for more than $100. They told us to get documentation of value for new, used and refurbished parts so we did that. Those prices were $550-$750.

    After a week or so they call us back saying they need signed documentation of the costs, again we waste our time running around getting the paperwork signed and send it in again. We again get a call today saying they will pay a whopping $100 towards our lost package (the package THEY lost). Now I realize we are 10% to blame in this by having faith in UPS, assuming they are not going to lose a 35 lb package and only listing it as only $100 value. The other 90% falls solely on UPS. They not only lost it, they refused to look for it. They take no ownership in the fact they cost this hardworking family of 6 $700 and have drug this whole thing out over almost 2 mo. I will never ship UPS again and I'll post this all over social media until UPS makes this right and quits stepping on the little guy!

    I needed an envelope delivered ASAP. The UPS store I worked with "guaranteed" the mail would be delivered the next day, Friday, by 3:00. By 3:30, I knew that the package was not being delivered on time. I went back to the store, and they "processed" my return. Three weeks later, I had yet to receive this check. I went back to check. The store passed it off as a UPS "corporate" issue. I talked to Customer Service and a supervisor was supposed to return my call. Of course, no one from customer service contacted me. I called back. There was no record of my previous call. After an hour, I finally gave up.

    UPS "guarantees" the package will be there the next day, but if bad weather grounds a plane, it is "out of their control" and it is YOUR problem as the customer. I wasn't angry that my package wasn't delivered on time. I am a fairly reasonable person. UPS would NOT, under any circumstances, give me a refund. So, I paid $40 for an envelope to be delivered the next day. When it didn't arrive until the following week, UPS basically called this my problem. I heard over and over again: this was not UPS's fault (despite the fact that weather reports are easily accessible) & UPS policy (which is apparently online, which apparently I'm supposed to know, look up and read -- again, no one told me) is that if the weather is bad, it is the customer's problem.

I was like "how the heck did it get shipped anyway!?!?!?!?" They wanted me to pick the furniture up, when UPS was paid to deliver it, and it was pretty far away, and the furniture wouldn't have fit in my car.

I went online the next day to track my package, and it shows a delivery attempt was made 7/6/15 at 6:17 pm, and that my package was being returned to the sender. Me and my husband were sitting in our living room at 6:17 pm. Also, there was no UPS note left by the driver, confirming that there was no delivery attempt made on 7/6/15. I called customer service and was told that there was nothing they could do and I would have to contact the sender and have them ship it to me again.

    On July 3, 2015 I was to receive a shipment from PSSL of 2 speakers that I purchased online. I waited all day for the shipment and the driver never rang my doorbell and just left the pickup notice. I had to pickup myself and UPS did nothing to help the situation. Upon bring my speakers home I noticed the speaker grills were damaged in shipping. Again I had to wait for UPS. I saw the truck outside and waited for the driver personally. The driver was ready to leave until I asked him if he had a pickup. Then he told me he would have never came to my apartment because UPS failed to indicated the apartment number which I saw written in at the top of the return slip. The driver came upstairs and took the packages, which he would not have done if I didn't step in.

    Alright, don't get me wrong. UPS is awesome because they take care of packages and they bring my items the day Amazon says they will arrive, and they do arrive. But the thing I hate about UPS is that they don't bring me the packages in the timely manner that I like, instead I have to wait for the whole afternoon in order for my items to get home. I get my items in the evening, this is not a timely manner. A timely manner is when USPS leaves my packages at the PO box before 11:00 am. Overall, I just think that if Amazon sellers gave me the option for shipping carriers, I would either choose USPS or DHL and I would definitely avoid UPS because of the lack of timely manners.

    On Saturday, June 20th, around 10:30 AM, I stopped by your store on Washington Street in Wellesley to inquire the status of two books we shipped on June 1st. My son went into your store with two books on June 1st and purchased an envelope for $4.18 (from your store) which he used to ship the books to Amazon. He handed a USB port to your employee to print the UPS label, which he did and then proceeded with shipping the books.

    For the last few weeks, I've been getting emails from Amazon that the books never made it back to them and they had suggested to go back to the store and check if the books were never shipped out. I have also verified and conformed with my bank that the $4.18 charge from your store went through. I went to your store this morning to find out what happened and provided all the information mentioned above to your employee, Mr. **. After checking his computer, he mentioned that he was not able to find any such transaction. I showed him the above bank statement in the amount of the $4.18 and he still said that there is no such transaction in his computer.

    I stepped away from the counter and tried calling Amazon to see if the books made it back or if they had any other info that your employee could use to locate my books. Mr. ** said that there is nothing he can do or help me with and I should leave the store. I mentioned that I am trying to reach Amazon but he insisted that I should leave the store. He also mentioned and I quote..."If my boss was here, he would have thrown you out by now." I mentioned to him that I am waiting for the Amazon customer service rep to look into my account but he continue to argue with me. I told him that I will not reply to his arguments and that I will not response to his aggressive behavior and that's when he called the police.

    Officers Scott ** and Kathleen ** came to the store and after discussing the incident, they suggested to reach out to you rather dealing with Mr. **. For two weeks now, I've tried speaking with the owner but he declined. He emailed me and told me that he is sorry about what happened but there is nothing he can do for me, and this case is close.

    Online tracking said package would be delivered Friday. On Friday it changed to: delivery Monday. The package arrived at UPS center @ 11:30 PM (arrival scan) Thursday night. It didn't get destination scan until 1:52 Pm Friday. There is no reason it could not be delivered Friday like tracking said it would. Tracking #**. Don't list it in online tracking to be delivered on Friday and then change it at the last minute to Monday. Why have online tracking if it does not give the correct information?

    During February 2015 when there was a lot of snow, a UPS truck got stuck in our newly paved driveway. He put chains on his tires and proceeded to spin them for almost an hour. I personally went out to tell him to stop doing that: he had called for a tow truck and he should have just waited. The next day we could see that he had dug holes in the blacktop that went completely through the top layer of asphalt and into the base. We now have multiple holes in our driveway and our cars literally bump over each and every day while we try to get UPS to pay to fix it. I had to call UPS many, many times and to get an initial response - at which point a supervisor came out, took pictures and said I would hear from their insurance company - Liberty Mutual.

    It has been 3 months and I have not heard anything else from them or the insurance company. None of my many phone calls have been returned. I have called their regular 800 customer service line and asked them to escalated this to their corporate offices and still no follow up. I have now started to research UPS and have read that they have done this to many people - ignore the damage they have done to your property with the knowledge that you probably will not sue. I am still planning to pursue this because I am so very angry at what they have done - both the damage to my driveway and their refusal to even call me back.

He told me there would be a $7 additional charge to pick up the package, which I agreed to, and that I needed to provide payment for that up front. I gave him my card number. I was told that I would fill out the payment information for the actual shipment manually when the driver arrived. I was never given a claim number, which I thought was odd at the time.

    Lo and behold 3 o'clock rolls around with no driver in sight, I checked my bank account and saw I was charged over $90!!! The package, 5 lbs at most, should have been not more than $15 to ship one state over. (I live in AZ and was shipping to CA) When I called UPS to ask what the ** this was about nobody could tell me anything. In fact I wasn't even in the system!

    Recurring problem: I receive an email notification that a package is scheduled for delivery by UPS. I arrange to be home in order to receive the package. By the end of the day, no one has rung the bell. No notice has been left on the door. But, the online system shows that a delivery attempt was made, and the receiver was not home. This is not an isolated incident, but a routine occurrence - one that sometimes results in my packages being returned to the sender. The driver(s) are clearly falsifying their records to show that an attempt was made when it was not.

    When I call customer service, the representatives insist that a delivery attempt was made. It was logged in the system, therefore it was made. When I asked if I could file a complaint, I was told that I'd have to go in person to their pick-up location to do so! I wish retailers would stop using UPS. Terrible service.

    I moved my dad from Florida to a nursing home here in NJ. I packed his stuff in boxes that I bought at Home Depot the same day. I took it to the UPS Store #0288 at 3389 Sheridan Street, Hollywood, Florida. Paid $75 to ship. Items in the box were over 40 years old and meant a lot to my father, i.e. paintings that were painted by a loved one 20 years ago, wooden statues, and many pictures in frames. We were hoping to make the transition into the NH easier by decorating his room to make if feel like home.

    When the box arrived, our driver was appalled with the condition of the box, as were we. It looked like someone deliberately kicked it over & over as there were numerous holes, punctures, etc. Almost everything in the box was damaged. The paintings were kicked out of their frames. All the glass was broken (packed in bubble wrap) and even one of the wooden statues was broken in half. I called UPS, put in a claim. Someone from UPS called me and did a telephone interview. I was told that my driver also put in the record the condition of the box and that the claim would be paid. 3 months later I called to find out where my check was. I was told to call the store because they denied the claim! I WILL NEVER USE UPS AGAIN! The least they could've done was tell me 3 months ago to call the store. No one ever called me back.

    An important package was scheduled to arrive by Friday at 3 pm. It had not arrived by Saturday, so I called UPS, who informed me there was a delay. I asked them to send the package to a new address because I was moving on Sunday. They would not, but they said they would hold the package until the sender approved the address change. I was ok with that solution, but UPS did not do what they said they would. They delivered it to my old address. Given that they had made a mistake, I asked that they pick up the package and deliver it to my new address or hold it at the center. They said they could not.

    I was told that UPS cannot create a shipping label, so they could not pick up my package and correct their mistake. So, UPS is incapable of initiating a shipment. Ultimately, my shipper sent me a new package. UPS did not fulfill its obligation and basically stole money from the shipper. I will go out of my way to avoid using UPS in the future. Mistakes happen, but their unwillingness to correct their mistake is unacceptable.

    It's hard to enumerate all the problems with this company. They aren't contactable. They say they'll respond to email within 4 hours, and never do. The telephone number gives ~5 automated options to select from, and I can find no way of navigating their automated operator to a human respondent. Dialing '0' does not work. They often do not deliver packages by the specified date. On the tracking information, I am only told, "Severe weather conditions have delayed delivery." This excuse has been given in Southern California, where the weather conditions at the reported depot were 0 in. precipitation and 13 mph winds.

    Deliveries requiring signatures are reported to arrive between 6am and 8pm on weekdays. No narrower time frame is given and they do not allow you to pickup the package at the depot. I truly don't understand how this company is in business and why good brands, like Amazon, associate with this company. Along with Greyhound and Comcast, these folks are the worst I know.

It is June of 2015 now. After 66 emails and hours of phone calls, and 2 full independent claims investigations by UPS, my case has been closed 1 time, and in "escalation" for the rest. After their own investigation has countered their own decision to deny in the first place, now it has taken them yet another 6 months to have seating on someone's desk all the more.

On the day that he was supposed to receive the package, he waited until the guaranteed delivery time, and when it didn't arrive, I called the customer service line. They told me that the package was currently being delivered, that it was on the truck. A few hours later, when he still hadn't received the package, I called again. The customer service representative admitted that at their depot, they had entered the wrong address. So I gave them the right address. A few more hours went by, and he still had not received the package. I called again and told them that he had to receive the package that evening, as he required his medicine.

    They said the best they could do was to send it on the truck first thing the next morning. I told them my son wouldn't be able to take his medicine that evening. The next morning the package still had not arrived. I called their customer service line again, stating that it could potentially be a medical emergency if he did not receive the package that day, and they told me it would arrive shortly. My son waited at home all day, still without his medicine. It never arrived at all that second day. They agreed to refund me the forty dollars for the priority delivery. We ended up making arrangements with the local pharmacy and paying the full price for the medicine. He took it and was fine, thank goodness.

Around 5 pm on 6/15, I tracked the package and the update stated no one was available and they would attempt to deliver the next day. I called my dad to ask, "What was going on?" He said "No one ever knocked or left an attempted delivery slip."

    So the next day the same thing. This time on the site it says they will attempt a third time if no one is there they will send it back to the sender. Well, again no slip was left. My dad decided to go to the neighbor's house where the first pair of shoes were delivered and no slips were left there either. So my dad a 73 year old man is walking the neighborhood to find his delivery slips, which he found later the second day on the empty house down the street. So I called UPS and then they tell me I have to pay $5.00 to have it delivered to a store so my dad can pick them since the driver can't find the correct address. So let's recap. The first time you leave the package at some random address. Then the second package you attempt to deliver to an empty house twice. (My dad says you can tell the house he/she attempted to deliver to is empty.) That didn't dawn on the driver he/she was at the wrong house??

    But I have to pay to have it sent to a UPS store location. I use FedEx and USPS for my shipping needs. I think Cole Haan should stop using UPS. I will report this to them as well. As a matter of fact my next purchase from them will be in a few days. I will tell them, I will not purchase a thing if they are sending my items via UPS.

    On May 22, 2015, I shipped a Trek 1000 road bicycle from a bicycle shop in Endicott, New York to a bicycle shop in Chicago, Illinois via UPS. I received a tracking number. The bicycle disappeared from the tracking schedule in Syracuse, New York. No further information available. My son checked online and the trail ends. He called UPS and they asked if he wanted to start an investigation. He said yes. That was a month ago. I just called again. They have not called or provided any information to my son or the original bike shop. They terminated the investigation. The Bike is gone and they have no idea what could have happened to a bike in a shipping box. They will pay an insurance claim of $100.00. This is completely unacceptable, especially when the representative explained that it is their fault. All documentation was properly provided.

    I had a big package which was a return to Dell.com. Returned was arranged by them via UPS. It was supposed to be attempted thrice for pick up by driver. Driver never left any note on main door of building (the tag) that an attempt is made. I pasted a sticky note for 3rd attempt so that driver can call me when he comes.

    But nothing.

    Here is what UPS says: 1. "We won't give you driver's no." (fine) 2. "We won't give your no. to driver too." (wow) 3. "Even if you put a sticky label on main door with your no. even then driver won't call you." 4. "Driver can come any time and we won't tell you what time." So, essentially, you sit at main door of building waiting without washroom break so that you can meet the MOST important person of your day, the driver is who coming to do a favor to do the pick up. What a customer friendly approach is that.

Another representative stated that it was not the driver's fault that no one answer the door, and another representative tell me to get a car service to the UPS location to pick up my package.

    I told each and every one of them that "IT IS UPS RESPONSIBILITY TO DELIVER THE PACKAGE AND NO ONE WILL SIT OUTSIDE WAITING ALL DAY FOR A PACKAGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE". Finally after the long wait another representative contact me to inform me that the driver has returned back to the building so he is unable to deliver the package, and tell my mom to wait at home all day on Monday. I ask to file a complaint and there is no such thing. I can tell that all the representative I spoke with is impatient and careless about your package. These people are just waiting to get paid.

    Last year I ordered fairly expensive earrings to be delivered by UPS requiring a signature at the time of delivery. I received 3 failed attempt notices on my door, 2 of those times I was home. I had to drive 60 miles to retrieve them from the nearest UPS warehouse. Not much of a choice. They were my daughter's Christmas present.

    Recently I purchased a floor cleaner, again to be delivered by UPS requiring a signature upon delivery. The exact same thing happened. After the second "attempt to deliver notice" I called the company and was assured that the driver would be made aware of the issue and he would deliver it this evening after 6 PM. I walked outside at 8 PM to find yet another "attempt to deliver" notice on my door. I called again and received the same lip service. I've concluded that the only satisfactory option is to boycott any company that chooses to use UPS as their delivery source. I'm allowing this item to be returned with a detailed explanation why.

After 20 minutes on the phone with an employee who spent more time explaining the variety of their delivery options and how difficult it was to get the packages to everyone, I finally gave up and asked to have it delivered to the main depot for me to pick up which is 26 km out of my way. Was told that their hours for pick up are 0730-0900 and 1630-1800. WOW......talk about catering to the customer eh?

    A friend from Minneapolis, MN sent me a box via UPS before Christmas. She called to confirm I received it. I told her "No, I had not". She told me it was delivered. I told her I did not get it. She called where she sent it from for more information. I contacted my local office. They told me it was delivered. I told her "No, it was not". She asked if I wanted it investigated. I told her, "Yes I did". She said she would talk to the driver. The next day she called me back and said that the driver said he delivered it to some woman. I told her it was not me and to ask the driver where was this woman located and what did the house look like. She said she would look into it further.

    A few days pass, a guy comes up to my house, **. He had my package. He said he worked at the bait shop a few miles away. He told me how he came into having my package: ** at Montana Horses received the package from UPS. She did not know who I was and asked ** to find me so I could have it. He found me. He went on to say that he gets a lot of packages to complete the delivery. The consequences: my friend paid for that package to be delivered to my house - she did not get what she paid for. She sent very sentimental items to me, which could have been lost. She had a lot of extra mental stress added to her life over a package. I was very upset because UPS lying about its delivery quote to me, when in fact it was delivered to someone 7 miles away. I am lucky that where I live there are still honest people! But there are not honest people at UPS.

    STAY AWAY FROM USING UPS. FedEx delivered a package recently. I asked how they find me. He stated that they get maps from the county for rural areas. A lost UPS driver came up by my house, asking if I knew where a few people lived. I told him I did not. I asked how they find people. He said GPS. This is the difference. FEDEX knows how to get packages delivered nationwide and worldwide. UPS pretends to deliver nationwide. But then again, it is associated with the United States Postal Service - I think you can draw your own conclusions. Actions speak louder than words, and you pay for what you get. Footnote: My friend never heard from the customer service rep in the Minneapolis office location. DO NOT USE UPS! I KNOW I NEVER WILL. I ALSO NOW ADVISE PEOPLE SENDING ME THINGS TO USE FEDEX!!!

The second notice said it would make the 3rd attempt on Wednesday, June 10th, estimated time 2pm-5pm. This delivery didn't come until after 5pm, therefore I missed my package for the third and final time.

    When I called customer service to see why and could it be redelivered. I was told by ** the CSR that my package had been returned to sender at 9:30pm, Wednesday, June 10th.

    I had ordered an exhaust system kit from a company in NJ. Once I received the tracking number, I checked it and it said my package should be here on Monday. I thought, 'Yay! I'm going to get to fix my car!' Nope... Monday came, I waited and checked the tracking number, it stated that it was 'Out For Delivery', but never came. Ok? Tuesday... the same thing. I waited, checked the tracking number and again it said, 'Out For Delivery', and again, nothing. Wednesday... I called them up to see what's going on, and they said their computers say that it was scanned in, but never out for delivery (well isn't THAT convenient). They asked what my package contained and I told them. Lo and behold, the lady said my muffler was right outside her door. She said they can ship it out right away. I told her don't bother, I'll come get it (if it takes them 3 days to ship a package 10 mins away, then yeah... I'll come get it myself).

    I get there and there's my muffler... JUST my muffler, with the labels slapped on. The resonator and the kit that came with it were GONE! I contacted the shipper and they informed me that they shipped everything together in a box... Which means, someone opened my box, stole my parts and left the muffler (which is why there were no labels). Now it's been a week later, I filed a claim, been given the run around and still have no answer! They're a but of lazy thieves! It had to have been in the box when delivered to the Addison UPS, otherwise it couldn't have been scanned in. If they would have done their jobs and delivered it on Monday like they were supposed to, maybe this wouldn't have happened. But nooo...

I did not purchase quite enough boxes, and ended up using a couple no-name file boxes and a larger box from Uncle Bob's Storage. How is it that the UPS boxes delivered looked and did the worst after delivery?! The boxes arrive like beach balls, having no structural integrity remaining, and some had rips in the cardboard. Luckily nothing fell out of the boxes, but a few things were broken inside, despite having things wrapped well and the boxes were stuffed with extra padding.

    What is the purpose of purchasing boxes from UPS if those are the worst quality shipping boxes you can buy?! I will never use those boxes again. I would rather use the cheaper file-boxes that have sturdiness and strength. And how the heck does UPS treat boxes during shipment?! How is it possible to have boxes arrive in such condition!

    I was to receive a package containing an electronic device ($250 value) on June 2. Instead on that date I received an email first from Amazon and then from UPS stating that UPS had sent my package to the wrong processing facility and it would be delayed by one day. I was disappointed but waited patiently. On June 3rd I went in the garage, got in my car, opened the garage door and drove out. Immediately I felt a bump and heard a crunch. I stopped and got out of the car to find I'd driven over my package. I was furious that an adult, whose job it was to specialize in "safe" package delivery, would leave a package 2" high and 12" wide on the ground directly in front of the garage when had they set it 4" to the right it would have been on the sidewalk and therefore safe.

    When I called to complain and find out when they would be replacing my device, I was told that leaving it in front of the garage was considered a safe place. I was further told that if I didn't want it placed in front of the garage that I should have called UPS and told them not to put it there. Luckily Amazon stepped up and agreed to replace it, but it will be replaced with a refurbished device and it counts as my "1 free replacement". It is not Amazon's responsibility to replace a poorly delivered package, but they want to have good customer satisfaction. I will be writing to the head office of UPS because I did not even get to use my brand new device and feel that I should not be given a refurbished one when it was not my fault that the package was run over. The photos below show where the package was left and its condition after I pulled out of the garage.

    UPS is probably the worst international shipping company I have ever dealt with. Their service is lower than in most 3rd (or 4th) world countries. I paid for guaranteed delivery for Wednesday (6/4/15). After 5 calls, package was still not expected to be delivered even 2 days after the "guaranteed" date. Despite delay due to their own "missorting" UPS does not give any extra priority to the package. From their point of view - "it's not their problem". Call center people speak TERRIBLE English (outsourced to Tijuana I think - not sure) and will simply say "Amigo - we understand but sorry - cant do anything".

    Moreover, the story kept changing and was confusing. The online website said my shipment had landed in London. Yet supervisor told me it was still in the US. What a mess. This company has NO clue on how to do business or treat its customers. Bottom line: UPS commitment means nothing. Go with FedEx. I made a HUGE mistake trusting UPS. Never again.

    Ok. To add some validity to this post, let me preface by saying that I have a lot of packages delivered by UPS. In 2013 I had more than 80 packages delivered and last year more than 50. Anyways I ordered some sunglasses from an online store and had them shipped to my house. I usually follow packages via the tracking number as well as receive SMS notifications when packages arrive. Anyways, I was notified while I was at work that my package was delivered. Normally the driver leaves the package right in front of my front door which seems insecure given that I have a corner on my porch that they could put it behind. In any case, when I arrived home that evening the package was not there.

    In the past, on several occasions, UPS has incorrectly delivered my packages to neighbors. Assuming that's what happened I waited until the next day when I could ask my neighbors if they had received my package (normally a neighbor would just walk it over to me) - off topic: I've also received my neighbor's packages. None of my neighbors had my package, but they did say that external crews had been working on the street that day (landscapers, trash pickup, etc). So I call the seller of my package and notify them that I never received my package. After a back and forth referencing that UPS claimed it had been delivered, the seller opened a claim with UPS.

    Apparently claims can take a 6-8 business days so I waited. I got a call from a UPS person to whom I explained what happened and they were very understanding. The next step was to have the driver do a follow up. So I waited a couple days and didn't hear anything, then I had to go out of town on business for about a half a week. While I was gone the UPS driver visited my house several times leaving follow-up slips (thanks for letting everyone know I was out of town by the way). So I get back on Monday and I'm about to call the UPS local office Tuesday when I get an email saying that the claim has been resolved and closed. I review the claim and it said that '**' (my name) has acknowledged receipt of the package.

    Clearly I was upset because not only was this false information, but I had not yet talked to the driver to even provide any information. The same day, the seller contacts me with a follow up because they were also notified by UPS that I claim to have received the package. So I call the local office trying to figure out how in the world this could have happened without someone even talking to me. All I get from the lady on the other end is that I should have the seller re-open the claim. That's it.

    It is one thing to make mistakes and deliver packages to neighbors, it is another thing to lose packages from time to time. It is yet another thing to provide poor customer service, but it is something altogether worse to falsify information saying that I received something I haven't. I've asked the seller to reopen the claim and I'm reaching deeper to try and find someone who can reconcile when it became OK for UPS to blatantly lie about talking, in person, to someone who was currently 3000 miles away.

    I placed an order with Amazon for a queen bed frame with headboard. I tracked the package daily to check its status, every single day I tracked it, it said it would arrive Thursday. Thursday came, it still said it would arrive Thursday, by the end of the day. I stayed home literally all day Thursday, which is one of only three days I have off in a two week span (therefore I had PLENTY I would have rather been doing than confined to my house) and it never came. Friday I rechecked the tracking, idiotically, it was still saying it would arrive Thursday. Saturday it finally said I missed the arrival of my package because it just so happened to come Friday at 5 PM, but by then I was at work.

    I called customer service to see when another delivery would be attempted because my next days off weren't until that following weekend, the rep told me Monday. I told him I would not be there Monday if it was coming at 5 PM again because I work evenings, he told me then a final attempt would be made Tuesday then it would be shipped back. I explained to the rep that I was probably not going to be there Tuesday either if there was no way the driver could deliver it earlier than 5 and he told me the only other option would be to pick it up. This is a 100lb package, I drive a two door car with barely any trunk, therefore that wasn't really an option to me.

    He then told me I could sign to get the package left on the porch, which is what I guess I'll have to do but it seems like a company who is literally all about logistics could be able to provide some better solutions that pick your package up yourself (which you PAY to get delivered to you) or have it left unattended for hours. And this isn't even the beginning of my hate-hate relationship with UPS. I've had packages stolen because they've left them in plain sight (in a bad neighborhood), literally delivered to the wrong address (same street number but totally different street name), left in the rain (when there was a covered patio they could have been left at), and the list goes on.

    Had important legal documents sent to me via UPS. UPS sent tracking numbers and told me package was delivered. I was home all day and NO PACKAGE WAS DELIVERED. I need these documents or I miss a very expensive trip. I called up customer service who told me package was delivered. Duh! If package was delivered I would not be calling you!!! Then he tells me that investigation could take 8 BUSINESS DAYS!! How long does it take to call the driver and ask him where he left the package. The 8 days is not even a guarantee that I get my documents only to see if they can find out what happened. They really need to hire drivers that know how to use GPS. How hard is it to deliver a package to the right house!

    I would say for close to half of the time, UPS would simply drop off our packages at our front door without ringing the bell to notify us that the package was there. I believe just ringing the bell, without even waiting for someone to answer, should be a minimal courtesy that UPS should offer to their customers or their customers' customers. The longer a package is out there, the better chance it can get stolen, or ruined by the weather -- rain and heat.

    We did have UPS delivery then driver told his supervisor the road was too bad.... We live on a dirt road that is graded twice yearly. The driver told us he could no longer deliver to us.. He started leaving small packages in my mailbox 5 miles from our home. He marked all large packages as refused by sender and returned them to sender.... I have switched to FedEx for all my purchases but still some companies still ship UPS.. When that happens they go back as refused... We have never refused anything.

    Then he came with a large package, we said we thought you could not deliver to us... Now he says he can deliver large packages if he can leave small packages in the mailbox... Really????? I think that is against a federal law. I have called the customer service number at least 4 time for each returned package. Got 4 different answers every time.. At no time was any package returned and delivered to me. I have to deal with sender and eventually have gotten my money back but never once the shipping costs that I paid... They say and rightly so that they are not responsible for UPS mistakes... Would anyone like to join me in a law suit to require UPS to do the job we pay them for....

    I told the company I purchased thongs from to please do not use UPS again. They did not deliver my package. They attempted to deliver it on May 26 & 27. They were supposed to deliver "on the next business day." I was expecting to get the package yesterday and I waited all day yesterday, did not leave home but they never showed up! So today I waited for it again but could only wait up to 1:30pm. I registered on UPS website to possibly schedule the pickup but it was asking me to pay $5 to make changes. I had to go out and do chores and go to the doctor today.

    I received an email from UPS saying the final delivery attempt was made at 5:32pm. So I called UPS to schedule a pickup but they said they couldn't put a hold on it as it was already "processing for return." This is within a few minutes after I received the email. I find this ridiculous and frustrating! If I am not mistaken, other postage companies such as FedEx and USPS will hold the package for a few days, before sending it back, and I never had any problem with them. I already filed a complaint with UPS about their unsatisfactory service.

    Every once in a while, UPS service is fine and they do what they purport to do. Other times, particularly if you have to call and work with customer service, they are obtuse, inconsistent, and utterly unhelpful. I recently had to reschedule a delivery from Amazon. I tried to do so via My UPS online, but was unable to. UPS said that Amazon had not provided some needed information and that if I wanted to reschedule a delivery, I should do so by calling them. (To be fair, the rep at Amazon who was listening to that particular conversation wasn't able to address that issue.)

    After I missed the first delivery attempt (Thursday night) I called them the next morning, rescheduled the delivery for Monday, and paid their fee. The rep did not bother to tell me that the package was already on the truck and it would still be attempted for delivery that day anyway (so there was no point in trying to reschedule). I was out of town and received a text later in the day that a 2nd delivery had been made, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. I then spent an hour on the phone trying to sort things out, first requesting that my re-delivery request just be honored since I paid the fee and was not informed that it would be pointless, but the rep I spoke with said there were 'no guarantees' then started arguing back at me with a bit of anger when I refuted this response. All she could say is 'nothing is guaranteed' and 'someone will call you Monday morning at 9.'

    My concern at this point is that I've just paid for and spent time requesting a service that UPS claims to offer, but that will not be honored, and also that I may again miss the delivery on Monday and that will be the third and final delivery attempt. Why is it so hard to acknowledge a mistake and provide a service you claim to provide? No one has any clear answers and can competently resolve an issue. Everything is left open with no guarantees. Not satisfied, I called Amazon who called UPS again. I was informed by UPS via Amazon that if I miss the delivery again on Monday, I could call Amazon and, again, request another delivery.

    So currently, I am just trying to request a refund for the fee I paid for a service I am not and was never going to receive. Apparently this is also mired in complications: Amazon telling me it's a UPS thing, and UPS telling me only Amazon can request that. There is now a supervisor who is trying to make sure I can be reimbursed the fee paid for the botched re-delivery service. He told me he will call back with confirmation. That was 20 minutes ago. Every time I have spoken with a UPS rep they constantly interrupt me and seem to not really hear what I am trying to explain. It feels like the majority of my time on the phone with them has been spent trying to explain the situation in different ways so that they can understand. It has been so utterly frustrating, time consuming, and horrible.

    Who knows what will actually happen at this point? Will I be reimbursed? Will I receive the package? Will I have to reschedule again? Will I have to call yet again to make sure any of these things actually happen? I feel like I, the customer, have to do the work and help them assist me in customer service issues that they should be able to address. Oh, and then there was the time UPS left a package with someone in my building (which was not authorized) without leaving an Info Notice, which then led to another gross waste of time trying to locate it. What a horrible waste of time. Such willful dysfunction.

    I was to receive a next day air package on Friday, but my package was left... Just like that it was left in the warehouse, so now I have to wait additional time for my check. It was a careless move and to compensate they are trying to mention an upgrade to next day air, lol when I already had next day air. It was a poor move to give the appearance of help. But they just tried to cover up their clear mistake and a horrible one. So now I am still without my money but the employees involved are living as if it never happened, and the little guys like me (like us) are just washed away with the day. It very unprofessional from a major corporation.

    I ordered a new phone. The item was picked up by ups on a tuesday afternoon at 3pm In Florida. Scheduled delivery was to be thursday. Tracking shows package arriving in Atlanta Ga. on wednesday at 2pm. Since then it has not moved or been scanned again. Today is the Thursday it was to be delivered. I have called ups three times asking why it has not moved? No one can give me any sensible answer. The last rep I talked to said that if it does not get scanned by 10pm my time. It will be considered lost. Then a investigation begins. This was for a 800.00 dollar phone. What really angers me is the lack of any information from the reps. The feeling I got was no one cared and no one could explain it. It's just lost.

How in the world do you lose two large wheelchairs? I am very disappointed with UPS for losing two shipments and I am attempting a third shipment to be delivered tomorrow from Amazon for another wheelchair. I want an investigation to find both lost shipments to have them returned back to Amazon immediately. Is there a conspiracy of stolen wheelchairs in Jacksonville, FL? Will my third package be lost?

    Two young fools came by without paperwork to gather my Nespresso coffeemaker (expensive) for shipment. They said they would take care of everything. It got shipped out but the UPS system made it impossible for me to get the shipping code because they (not I) shipped it. It got lost in Florida. UPS sent back a Keurig coffee maker. I returned it to UPS. Not mine. Next I tried to get reimbursed. The reply was "sorry, unless you provide UPS with shipping number, we cannot help. Bye." I am out an expensive coffee maker. There should be some kind of ombudsman for cases like this.

    A package was supposed to be delivered to me today. It wasn't. The tracking indicates "WE LEFT THE PACKAGE IN OUR FACILITY. THIS MAY CAUSE A DELAY". Well obviously if its in the facility it can't be delivered. So now, since today is Saturday and Monday is a holiday, I will not get my package till Tuesday, unless they forget it on the truck this time. It was shipped from New Jersey to New Jersey. Their service is pathetic.

    If I could rate UPS a negative 5 stars I would. This UPS Center is a complete joke. After making it all the way across the country with no problems, it gets to Vernon, CA and immediately comes up with a delay. I live an hour north of this center and I now have to wait another 4 days to get my package as it says my new arrival time is 4 days from the original.

    I have been waiting a week to receive this package which was "Promised" to be at my doorstep before 8pm on Friday. I tried calling the facility with NO ANSWER! I then proceeded to call the 1-800-pickups number and the representative I spoke with had just read to me what it said online and said that I was not their customer but Amazon's (as I bought the item through them). Where do they get off placing the blame on Amazon for a 4 day late package when YOU'RE THE DELIVERY COMPANY. My package now sits at a carrier center 2 miles from my house on a Saturday because I was told that UPS only delivers more important packages on Saturdays. I will avoid using UPS at all cost as their quality of service is garbage. They are overpriced and do not care about the customer.

    I had ordered a package (gift card) on Wednesday, 5/20/15, and Bestbuy and UPS said it would be delivered Friday 5/22/15. Come Friday, I wait at home for my package all day, and at 6:30 when I check the website, it says my address was incorrect, and I only found this out after going to their website and entering the tracking number. They didn't bother to call or email and didn't make an attempt even though my address was entered correctly and repeated correctly in the confirmation email. They didn't bother to post this until 5:55 and they wont even tell me when the next attempt will be made nor ask for correction of the address. And since Monday is memorial day and they wont let me pick it up, I wont get it until at least Tuesday (5/26/15) and if the address is wrong, how will they deliver it Tuesday? They probably wont, and I will have to drive 45 min one way to get it at shipping center.

    I just got off the phone with UPS after an excruciating phone call that lasted over 3 hours. I had a simple enough request as the shipper of a package: update the delivery date. The UPS website showed the future delivery date that I wanted, and once selected and submitted the delivery date showed as something other than what I had entered. I called UPS and they tried to charge me $18 when online it was only $12.50. I told them their website changed the date after I had selected it, and they transferred me a total of 8 times between technical support and customer service. Half a day later, I have received confirmation they will refund a portion of the bill, but not that they will deliver on the updated delivery date. Horrible service. I don't understand why no one was able to help me in over 3 hours for such a small issue.

    My husband I planned a golf trip to Florida for our 30th wedding anniversary. Part of our vacation included Chicago and Washington. I didn't want to haul my clubs across the US so I decided to UPS them to our final destination, Naples Florida. My husband planned on buying new clubs so he didn't ship his, and it was a good thing. My clubs left Nanaimo, BC, Canada on May 5th and were to be in Naples, Florida May 13th. Our golf school started May 14th. My clubs didn't show. An "investigation" was opened by UPS to try locate my clubs. The investigation was closed 8 days later, on May 21st. The clubs were never found and UPS is refusing liability. They will not cover the cost of my Ping clubs.

    Not only were my clubs in the travel case but a new pair of golf shoes, my golf gloves, jacket, a dozen balls, and hat. Basically, all my favorite things disappeared. UPS has either an internal theft problem or they're incompetent. Someone has my Ping golf clubs and it's not me. I had to use rental clubs for my golf school. I'm home now without golf clubs and our season is in full swing. I have to buy new clubs, shoes, gloves etc. If you have something of value don't send it UPS. What does "guaranteed" delivery mean? Obviously, nothing to UPS.
