I really liked UPS. Their prices are lower than FedEx and when I shipped with USPS they lost both my packages. I will always use UPS when I need to ship any kind of pkg.

UPS has fast delivery and I use this delivery method whenever I have any mailing needs. Especially around holidays. It would be great if there were more store locations though. Drivers are courteous whenever I have encountered them.

I have used UPS numerous times and mostly ship within Texas and ship ground, which typically takes 3 days to get to west Texas from Dallas, but online will state that it takes 1-2 days. It's not really clear for remote areas of the state, so I've learned the hard way that those are average predictions, not absolute numbers. The only real issue I've ever had was in trying to use the $5 service to reroute a package that, for some reason, had an old address of mine on it in UPS but not on the order itself. UPS somehow used my old address, and even though I paid the $5 to reroute the package, it didn't get routed or arrive on time. The package was returned to the hub who called me to validate the address, and even though I gave them the address, it was going to take 2 or 3 more days so I just went to the HUB to get my package.

My Experience with receiving packages from UPS has been very good. To date I have not received any damaged packages from companies I've ordered from that ship Via UPS. The few times I have shipped through them the packages have arrived in a timely manner and according to recipients they also arrived in a timely manner and not damaged.

We're in a rural area which is a little tough to drive in during winter. In 22 years, our UPS has always been on time. If our driveway isn't plowed (they don't have to come in if it isn't), our UPS drivers always make a track and come right in. They do a constant, good job.

Numerous times, I've ordered packages and always cringe when I find out that UPS is handling the delivery (which is usually completely out of my control -- it all depends on who's sending the item from Amazon or what deal they have with the company I'm ordering from). The intercom system at my building is unreliable at best, so I go out of my way to let them know how they can notify me when a package is delivered. I work from home, so I am literally always home. I leave notes on the door with my phone number, asking them to please call upon delivery, and if I'm able I leave delivery instructions on the online order form of whatever site I'm ordering from.
Without fail, I get that email that says I was not available for delivery when they attempted. Sure, they'd be happy to attempt on the next delivery day, but how is that helpful at all? They're not going to call the next day either. It's extra fun when it's a Friday, and then I have to wait till Monday. On the most recent occasion, the driver didn't even leave the sticker on the door. It's absolutely unconscionable to treat customers like this -- as a customer success rep myself, I would get fired if I operated with the utter indifference to customer experience that these guys have. I don't believe that it's unreasonable to expect that a delivery driver will do at least the bare minimum and attempt to contact me, instead of just glancing at the door from the driver's seat and then pulling away, as they seem to.

I ordered a cathouse on Amazon for the upcoming cold nights of fall. On the 11th of September, I received a notice telling me that my order was successfully deliver to my house and that the driver left the package under the porch. Funny thing is that I don't even have a porch to put the package under! So of course after asking all my neighbors, after going around my place trying to find the dammed package, I to go through the company I bought the cathouse from. They asked UPS to open up an investigation. An investigation. Really. A 100$ package left under a nonexisting porch! Still waiting for a follow-up to this day.

I have used UPS most of the time. They are esp. efficient with medical equipment which has needed to be shipped promptly.

I would like to start by saying that I wish there was a way to leave a worse review than a one star. This company does not deserve even a one star review. I was told my package would be delivered on a specific day (Note: this was a work related package) and then after checking the updated status, they had stopped my delivery and had it sent back. This is completely unacceptable and I will never have a package delivered through UPS ever again. Worst shipping and processing company I have ever had to deal with. On a scale of 0-5, I would give them a zero.

I am extremely upset just now. I have had multiple packages stolen from my home due to what I consider inconsiderate drivers. Look at this picture! Everyone who passes up or down this street has a clear view of these packages AND indicate that no one is home. As I mentioned, I have had packages stolen before by someone who was just riding down the street and saw an opportunity. I know because I watched it on the video camera I have outside of my home! The more considerate drivers have often left packages on the patio NEXT TO THE STEPS and have even gone so far as to place them behind planters on the patio NEXT TO THE STEPS. I'm not sure if it's common sense or common courtesy but I wish the UPS drivers would use a little of both!

I mailed a genealogical chart in a standard mailing tube from Savannah, GA, to Pensacola, FL. The package was never delivered! When tracking, I was notified by UPS that the package was damaged and the contents missing. I made an insurance claim and it was denied because it was not packaged well. If that is true, why did the UPS store accept and mail the package? I cannot trust them now!

I miss the security of having my package "held" w/ a note on the door. Now, I find my packages arrive in a variety of places including my rural route post box that sits in an remote location. I've tried using the "My UPS " to direct where my pkgs. should go but it seems the drivers pay no attention and I never know quite where to look: by the front door? In the screen porch? Next to my garage door? In the mailbox? Why offer a service and then disappoint those who use it!!

I live in Canada so I am at the mercy of the companies. I prefer UPS as it is picked up at border via Canada post. So this company is very reliable. I generally have no clue what the customs fees or gst/pst is until I pick up the package. UPS is much better value than the other shipping as I can pick up at my local post office.

Last week I had a rather large unwieldy package delivered. The odd thing is my tracking told me it was delivered but I had been looking out my front door and there was nothing there. So I went to my back door- nothing there. So I went out in the rainstorm and found my package getting soaked at a door I don't even have a key to. 5 stars for finding the most obscure and inappropriate place to leave a package. I'm a 65 year old, disabled, tiny woman and had to drag the package from my backyard to my back door, up the stairs and into the house. I was drenched and hurting.
I called UPS and was told to sign up for UPS My Choice. I tried and tried but was told the website had a glitch. So after spending a lot of time trying to make this happen I waited until yesterday-- called their tech dept. The tech guy was having difficulty so he asked to take over my session. He realized the fact I have 2 names separated by a slash was a problem. So he deleted the name I use most and clicked Next before I could stop him. Now I'm told I have to wait 24 hours to get into my acct because we attempted to log in too many times and no one can override their mistake. I am so frustrated and upset. This has taken hours. I have a heavy package coming and don't know how to proceed.

If it isn't packed tightly and wrapped well then the package might get damaged. Especially at Christmas time. But overall my experience has been good. They usually watch out for our dog so they don't run over him. Most of the drivers are able to back out of the drive well. Only encountered one so far who could not and tore up the yard a little bit. But nothing has arrived broken. Versus going through the mail. If it's glass it will be broken. Guaranteed! So best to go with UPS! They are the best!

I really don't like the services which UPS provides, because of the hurriedness of some of their drivers. You can post a sign on your door, call into the company and leave special directions, it does not matter. If they want to rush, & empty that truck, they are likely to leave your package anywhere! Older people, sick people who don't get to the door fast enough, they just throw your package, and they leave. That is bad, especially during holidays, because people come right behind them, and take your packages! They need to take more time, to know that you have your packages, and don't leave them unless directed to do so.

I had a package sent to me by Xfinity. The package was scheduled to be delivered September 15th 2017. The truck with the package left UPS at 5:10 am for delivery. I have yet to see the package. And UPS claim not to know where the package is. The customer service representatives are uninformed about any deliveries and are little to no help at all. Other than to tell me it should be here by 8:00 pm for which they close at 8:00 pm. So my package I'm basically being told will be bounced around on back of a UPS truck for 15 hours before being delivered. And your base of operations is only 8 miles from where the package is to be delivered. I could've walked to from if that's the case. Thanks UPS for the experience. I know when shipping my Xmas gifts to my family this year FedEx will definitely be the better option.

I was waiting all day for two deliveries. At 7:30 I checked the tracking number of one. APPARENTLY the driver said I wasn't home for the delivery attempt at 4:26 pm. Funny though, I was home all afternoon waiting. To be fair, I have dogs, so the driver needs to honk. At 70 years old it takes a minute to get to the door. I didn't hear a horn (hearing tested recently - perfect). This is not the 1st time. I've had packages out for delivery according to the tracking site. Beautiful sunny days but they were delayed due to bad weather with the same thing occurring over several days. This has only been occurring for a few months so I may have a new driver. UPS, PLEASE TELL YOUR DRIVERS TO HONK SEVERAL TIMES. If not I shall be forced to change delivery services when I order goods.

I am signed up for the My Choice preferences and I got an email about the delivery date of my package. On that date I did not receive the package and I contacted Customer Service. They asked me to wait a little longer even though it was already after delivery hours frame. I waited till 11 PM and nobody showed up. Next day I got an email, stating that due to some complications my delivery date moved to the next day. However, it did not arrive on time and I contacted customer service again.
They told me that this time the package IS with the driver. At 8:30 PM I got a notification of delivery ATTEMPT (?) and that since no one answered the door (which never rang) I now have to go to the access point and pick up my package. I specified on the preferences to LEAVE the package AT THE DOOR IF NO ONE IS THERE TO RECEIVE IT. So I called the customer service again at 9:20 to see what is going on. They told me that they can try to deliver it tomorrow. I mean, my package is just traveling in the truck for 3 days now. This is very frustrating.

I live in SW Florida, along the Gulf Coast. I ordered a emergency lantern from Amazon with 2-day shipping on 9/4. I tracked the package and was due to receive it on 9/7, UPS reported it was on the truck, set for delivery. 9/7 was a good weather day. We were expecting a hurricane to enter our area on 9/11. The package was not delivered. When I checked their website, it said that they were experiencing a delay?
On 9/8 I again waited for my package, nothing arrived. The website stated again that they were again having some kind of delay? What could that be? We were having perfect weather? UPS and their union employees did not work for days ahead of any inclement weather!!! After the storm had passed on Monday 9/12, I thought that maybe I would receive my delivery because we were without power and the lantern would really be helpful now. But NO, did not get it until Thursday 9/14. The day after my electricity was turned back on.

I work in civil litigation where timing is everything. I would think the same goes for UPS when customers pay a lot of money to have packages arrive timely. UPS has become so unreliable that our firm will no longer use them. I shipped a 30# box overnight for early a.m. delivery to simply go from San Diego to Santa Barbara. The box was full of documents our office worked the entire weekend preparing, paid hundreds of dollars to print and assemble, and another almost $200 to have it arrive to court ON TIME the next morning. Imagine my horror when an attorney is blowing up my phone because said box did not arrive. When I tracked the package, the website said "due to operating conditions, your package may be delayed". I'm like WTF does that mean?! Well, I called and was finally told the box was "put on the wrong truck".
PUT ON THE WRONG TRUCK! A 30# box... not easily misplaced. But I was told, not to worry, it will arrive the next day. Really?! Tell that to my boss, the judge, and some Russians who were all waiting in court for those damn documents. What a ** show and a total waste of money, time, effort, resources, and manpower. So great, UPS will refund the $200 or so spent on shipping, but we were out thousands of dollars in reality. EPIC FAIL!

UPS is short for OOPSS. UPS is the biggest bunch of morons you can ever think about. They know an address and they will spend no time sending the package back immediately with seconds. Some idiot shipper named TAB DATA knowingly shipped out a package via UPS to a PO Box. We told them not to and they did anyway. The package got to the Parsippany, NJ office, so instead of holding the package and sending a card in the mail to the PO Box telling us the package was there for pickup, they wasted no time in rejecting the shipment and sending it back. They didn't even bother to make any type of delivery attempt, notifying the customer nothing. Within 1 hour this all happened.
We have taken every single piece of UPS shipping supplies and going to the local facility and throw all their shipping supplies in the parking lot, not to mention closing our account for good! The normal procedure of any PO Box delivery, is the fact that they could hand it off to USPS to make the final delivery in which they have that service or hold the package for 5 days and send out an info notice to the PO Box, but no they don't have any brains whatsoever.

Let me make this short and sweet: UPS is not the value that it was in days gone by, Residential Delys. in my town may lag well thru the day into the early evening hours in some cases and I have rec'd pkgs here at my home that looked they had been in a soccer match. And they don't deliver on Saturdays... Meanwhile, you have FedEx and if you open up an account with them using your credit card, you gain an automatic 10% discount and now finding that their ground service is moving ever so much closer to U.P.S. costing that I always double check with them before sending anything out. If it's anything of true value and or perishability I generally go with FedEx. Both are approx. 2.5 miles from my home so it's a pretty fair assessment on that front too.

I use them with some trepidation, and have a dim view of companies I purchase from that use them. They use a round-about shipping method that involves contractors and USPS, that can triple and quadruple delivery times. A 4-day shipment with USPS takes 10 to 12 days via UPS. If a driver is unable to locate your address, they'll simply enter that you weren't at the address to receive. And you'll have to wait 1 or 2 days more for a "redelivery". And don't mark anything as fragile, or do not bend, because: guess what?

I haven't had a problem with UPS, up until the last year. Service seems to have gone downhill. I dread when packages get delivered with UPS now. I'd much rather they get delivered through FedEx or USPS. Through the tracking, I can see that packages sit on trucks for days and days, without any movement. It takes over a week to get a package from UPS nowadays. I placed an ordered with a company, and they assigned UPS to part of it, and FedEx to another part. Guess which arrived quicker, and I mean like 4 days quicker? FedEx, of course.
UPS leaves "sorry we missed you" notices on my door without even ringing the doorbell. They regularly try and make deliveries at almost 10 pm. Sometimes they leave the packages, sometimes they don't, even though I have updated my delivery preference online to just leave the packages at the door. Now, I see they don't even attempt to re-deliver. Someone came up with the bright idea to forget re-deliveries altogether. Now, they will just drop off your package at your nearest UPS store on the next business day so you can get your damn package yourself. This is not service. Try calling them on the phone, asking about a delivery and why the UPS person didn't even ring the doorbell... you'll get rude guys, who don't even speak English well. What the hell, UPS.

UPS is generally a good shipping company and everything usually arrives on time and price is generally fair, although from a shippers perspective the delivery drivers can be quite and obviously impatient, almost to the point of being; once in front of customers. If I am say listening to a customer and have to get a couple parcels to send from the back room, a driver has made a borderline scene in the business because they had to wait two minutes longer by storming out and basically telling me that he never waits for anyone because that's not his problem that they weren't by the front door. I understand that they are on a time frame but I'm not going to stop my customer mid-sentence to grab boxes so he can shave a few minutes off his day so he can go home. I don't want to damage the rapport with customers that provide my income and since I am a customer of UPS I would think the drivers would feel the same way if they owned the company.

UPS lost one of my parcels. It took me over 10 calls to have them clarify that the package was lost. The customer service reps appear to only be allowed to use about 10 different pre-scripted responses when you call and they keep repeating some variation of a pre-scripted response, which often has nothing to do with the question you've asked. They pre-charged my card for customs fees and gave me the runaround when I asked for a refund. Ultimately, they refused to even provide me with proof that they paid customs on my behalf so I asked Visa to suspend the charge until UPS can provide proof that they even incurred that expense. Visa was helpful in that regard. One of the service reps told me that UPS is a very large company and they can't be expected to keep every receipt. I mean, it's a joke.
