    UPS sent me a card by USPS while I was away on a business trip to pick up and sign for a package. To deliver, they wanted me to drive 15 miles to Eureka CA during working hours of 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. because they are too lazy to keep a store open a normal 8-hour business day or operate on a weekend. This was to pick up a package for which their tracking numbers could not even disclose the place of origin or sender. So I thought - Okay, pay $5.00 and sign up for My Choice. As I got into the process, I had to "prove" my identity. "Proving my Identity" involved taking a quiz based on a massive amount of personal information that UPS had collected on me and my family without permission.

    There were things asked like an ex-wife's personal information, ex phone numbers from decades ago - all nothing that UPS should have had or any applicant would likely remember. After answering all of their questions correctly, they insisted on texting a password to my no-call registered Verizon cell phone. When I completed that process, UPS refused me because I used a P.O. Box with Verizon for my billing address which does not match my resident address. This whole process was degrading and an intrusion into privacy with their arrogance in flaunting information most would never voluntarily provide to them.

    When I discover the vendor who sent this, I will send the vendor this review and request they choose an alternative delivery service. If the vendor ever ships me another order by UPS, I will refuse the package and cease business with that vendor. Where viable alternatives exist, I will avoid shipping by UPS from now on. If you feel your privacy has been violated by UPS building a massive file on you without consent, file a complaint and boycott these people.

    I can't understand how a package can be lost when it get scanned to the warehouse in Winston Salem and never gets on the truck to be delivered. Then they just keep pushing out the delivery date. Should have used FedEx.

    I always wondered why packages arrived with crushed edges and torn wrappers, and now I know. I was sitting at my desk looking out my window as the UPS truck pulled in front of my house. I was waiting for a new laptop. The driver disappeared to the back of the truck, and suddenly I saw packages flying through the air, bouncing off the driver's seat and the front dashboard. I thought, "Oh God, could one of those be my laptop?" Finally, the driver emerged from the truck bringing two packages up the drive. One was my laptop. I explained to him my distress at seeing the packages being thrown around inside the truck. He said he did not throw the laptop. I had no way of knowing for sure. But, now I know this!!! You don't want to see a restaurant prepare your dinner, and you don't want to see how UPS handles your package.

    Was expecting a package to be delivered, according to the UPS "Infonotice" I was to receive it Monday before closing. I contacted customer support after the delivery doesn't show up. They start off telling me it's on its way, then tell me driver delivered it to wrong address. The electronic tracking didn't at all match what they were telling me, so I called him on it and asked to speak to a supervisor. He said the supervisor would call me in 2 hours, which would have been @ 9:00. I then repeatedly asked for supervisor's name and the agent disconnected me. I was re-queued to another agent that started with the same line of "it will be delivered today." I asked here to speak with a supervisor, and she disconnected me as well. Ups has just lost a long time customer.

    Alright, every time I contact UPS customer service no matter it is via phone call or live chat, I have to wait for more than 10 min before I get someone to answer the phone. And that is not the worst part. I had a package that was supposed to arrive on Wednesday, but when I checked tracking it says it's at original scan all the time. I contacted customer service twice. The first guy told me to wait and see if it actually will arrive on that day since it was 8 o'clock. Well, I waited until 10:30. Called them again, they told me to fill out the lost package claim. I did. Waited for another two days and suddenly it shows the package is on truck for delivery.

    Thanks to the broken doorbell I did not know the truck already came and left. Got an info notice. Called customer service third time to see whether I can get the package Saturday by pick up the package by myself. They told me:"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but you have to wait until next Monday." Alright. I did a request to pick up the thing by myself so I can go there on Monday and suddenly I figured out the pick up location opens on Saturday from 10-1. What the **? Customer Service told me I have to wait until Monday! I could have got the package that I have been waiting for additional three days 6 hours ago. Anyway, UPS customer service sucks. I hope they can find people who actually know something or at least hire more people so I don't have to wait 10 min for some **.

    Our front door is less than 20 feet from the street which provides protection from the elements. UPS could do a drive by and throw the package from their truck; instead our medical supplies are left in the snow in front of the garage. Not the first time, happens all the time. Wish I could rate UPS "0".

    I have to say that I have been waiting on a package to be delivered for over a week. On two different days my status has said out for delivery. Two times it has not shown up. When I contacted UPS customer service through chat they assured me it was still going to be delivered that day though it was already after 9:00 PM. I live in a rural area, and it is raining. I explained we only have one driver and he had already been there that day. I am then told that the agent can only give me the information on the screen. I said if that is the case I can read the information myself on the tracking page and I contacted the chat support because there was a problem. I do not see how this is customer service if they are unable to do anything but read what I can already read on the tracking page. I suggest that if you actually need service to call the local facility directly.

    I paid additional to have a package delivered today 2/3/14. Until a little after 1:00 pm my package stated that it would be delivered today. Upon checking tracking, the truck had arrived at the local UPS Hub just prior to 6:30 this morning. When I received a text notifying me that the package would not be here on time, I called the 800 number to inquire about picking it up at the hub. They told me to go down there and they even called the facility to let them know that I was coming. Once I got to the hub, I was told that they couldn't get it because it was still sitting on the truck. I showed them the phone call where I had been advised that I could pick it up, they stated that it was irrelevant because the 800 number isn't local and they don't know anything.

    I then asked to speak to a supervisor since I was receiving conflicting information. A few minutes later I get a security guard asking me to leave. I advised that I had asked to speak to a supervisor and was it normal for them to be called upon that request. Their only statement was that I can leave or they can call the Hoover police department and I can spend the night in jail. I work with the public everyday and have never had an issue when someone asked to speak to my supervisor or have even asked to speak with me. I did not use any profanity, I did not call anyone any names, and I made zero threats. No reasonable person would have had an issue with my demeanor. I even tried to shake the security officer's hand in an attempt to speak with them reasonable and ask if it was normal for security to be called when asking for a supervisor. It was quite embarrassing and definitely outside the norm.

    I think that employees need to find a better way to keep their supervisors from knowing of their lack of customer service other than calling security to have customers removed. They also need to update their tracking system so that they don't claim weather as an issue for not getting a package delivered in a timely manner when the weather issue they are claiming was from snow in the city a week ago. The package was ordered after they were back up and operating after the snow.

    I purchase online and they sent my package with expensive lingerie with UPS. Suddenly, UPS kept my package from 01/28/14 to 01/3014 stationed at Nashville, TN falsely alleging adverse weather condition. I went to weather channel site to see the whole month of January 2014, the forecast weather of Nashville TN.

    28 - OBSERVED Hi 18F, Lo 10F; Precip (in) - 0 in.
    29 - OBSERVED Hi 27F ***PARTIALLY SUNSHINE, Lo 4F; Precip (in) - 0in.

    30 - OBSERVED Hi 42F, Lo 8F; Precip (in) - 0in.

    They scanned the package leaving Nashville to FLORIDA on the morning January 30, 2014. The package was supposed to be delivered on January 30 as I waited 6 business days. Today, I phone UPS several times and they don't know where is my package. I also contacted the sender. I suspected my package was stolen by one of their employees. UPS has worsened in the latest years.

    Today is 1/29/2014. It happened for last 2 days when I scheduled and rescheduled for UPS pickup. No one showed up for 2 days, yet they told me to wait for total of 8 hours. I missed meeting, appointments for nothing. On the 27th, I scheduled for UPS pickup 16 boxes total 300+lbs. I waited for 2 hours and no one showed up. In between, I made 4-5 phone calls to check the status and everyone told a different story. Only the last person (2 hours later) told me that my pickup request was cancelled . Apparently, whoever it was decided not to show up and cancel without notice and better yet, still charging me for the pickup and showing on the system as pickup successful. I rescheduled for next day from 9 am - 12pm.

    On the 28th, this was a snow storm day where everyone was advised to go home early or stay home. I did not have to report to my office, but I had to for this pickup. 3 hours waiting in the morning came to vain as (guess what) No UPS in sight. Again, many phone calls in between and only one person could do it right and rescheduled me for Pickup later around 3 pm to 5pm. She told me that she forwarded to the driver as emergency because they have been late. Driver confirmed to be there by 4 latest. Again, guess what? Almost 5 pm that day and Not a soul of UPS came. More than 10 phone calls and still the geniuses at UPS kept circumventing the issue.

    This is even more beautiful: I got charged for the 9 am-12 pm pickup as successful pickup AGAIN, even no one showed up. By 3:30 pm, the system was marked as Unsuccessful pickup and I need to reschedule. The help desk told me even the system saying so, I still need to wait because the note said they would be there around 4 pm. That genius I cannot forget. By 5pm, the snow storm was at its height and I drove home with 1 hour traffic. Still, 16 boxes for my customer are still there. I would advise not to do the UPS schedule pickup because scheduling is your right, but showing up or not is their rights and they don't have to notify you about it. They can cancel anytime without notice and you (or I in this case) are just an idiot for waiting more than 8 hours for them to show up. I showed up on the storm day when I did not have to and whole day was for waste. I called the HUB who called me but no one answered.

    Send my daughter 3 packages on 1/17/14. In a.m. (Wednesday) 1/22 she found a delivery attempt notice. She had been in her apartment all day on the (Tuesday) 21st. She signed the slip and went to class. When she got home there was another delivery attempt notice (the 1st one now gone). She signed that one but was in her apartment all day the (Thursday) 23rd. About 5:40 she found final delivery attempt notice. I called customer service and they said driver tried at 5:35. She was home the whole time. Customer service said they would have it delivered the next day (Friday). I was told someone at the Edison NJ customer center would call me within the hour.

    Surprise no call. I called back and was told why would you get a call it is all set up for Friday delivery. According to customer service all 3 attempts were made about 5:30, so at 5:00 my daughter went outside (it was 10 degrees) and waited until 6:00 so there was no way to miss delivery. When no UPS truck showed I called customer service and was told package had been sent back to the shipper. I was told just like last time someone would call me within the hour to explain what had happened. I told lady I would not be home but to leave a message. Another surprise no call so I called back and was told the customer center was now closed so there was no way for me to speak to someone. I needed to call back tomorrow (Saturday) morning and speak to a supervisor. The supervisor was the only one that could get the customer center to call me.

    So of course I called first thing Saturday morning and was told the customer center is only open Monday-Friday. Monday morning I called the customer center, not service, and spoke to a manager named Lorraine. She said delivery driver was being pulled in and talk to. None of what happened made sense to her. She said I needed to ship packages back. She said she would credit back cost for 2nd shipment. Packages are not being delivered, they are going to be held at customer center for my daughter to pick up. Hopefully she will have her packages on Friday. Two weeks for packages to get to her and they are not being delivered.

    This has been a nightmare. She has gotten many packages in the past. I assumed it was a new driver but was told it was normal driver. Her apartment building's front door is secure. You have to buzz apartment number and let in. In past no problem but for some reason this time driver never used buzzer. They tried to say maybe it is broken but we know not so. She had food delivered last weekend buzzer worked. Also, in past when delivery notice is left, the driver leaves the packages in the lobby under the mailboxes. They said it is driver's choice whether he leaves packages or not and since it had snowed he would not leave packages on stoop. Well that is not where he has left them before. Lastly, the driver (just like mailman) has a key to the front door so he can get into the lobby.

    The customer service department is absolutely horrible. Five calls and each time I was told something or told to do something that was not correct or the truth. My daughter should not have to wait 2 weeks for packages nor should she have to go pick them up. Of course this story may not be over. She still does not have them. We will see what happens Friday.

    I paid $25 to have Fidelity ship some important papers (which included a huge check for a rollover IRA) to my home by UPS. Well no one was at home at the time and they stuck the envelope under a wet welcome mat at my front door and most of the paper was soaked. My question is why couldn't they have put it in the mailbox or put it into a plastic sleeve to protect the envelope from getting wet. I was very pissed and I think they owe me a refund for poor service. The other problem I have with them is they always seems to be late delivering packages to my area and usually the driver that deliver in our area never knock on the door to let us know that the package is there. We just have to keep checking to see if it’s there. I am done with UPS.

    PG MARYLAND -- I have had numerous UPS issues with their poor service and I will never use them again. Since I work, like most people, when I do stay home to receive packages I expect it to come. I stayed home tracking my package online all day and was told it is on their truck and later at 11:30 PM they had an emergency and can deliver my package that day, but the next day be told they can not make my package a priority package that next and that I would still can only receive my package between the hours that them work. If I paid for a two-day delivery, why can't I receive my package in the morning of that third day and not have to wait a whole other day at home to receive my package that is now a three-day delivery?

    I called UPS who assured me on that third day they would be delivering my package between 9 and 7 pm, so now it's 5 pm the next day and I have wasted another whole day waiting for a package, so that leads me to believe that UPS do not care very much about their customers nor their time - and they don't have to care, because they don't lose anything by screwing people over. Hopefully this will influence people to stop using them. Otherwise, we, as individual people, hold no weight and have no control, which is just unacceptable.

    I was in my Garage approx. 30 feet from UPS truck. My dog was in middle of driveway about 20 feet from me and ten feet from truck. Truck stopped with package. My dog barked at driver. Just barked with no attempt to be aggressive. As Driver came out door of truck, he held my package up above his head. He took one step toward my dog and threw the package at my dog.

    Lucky he missed because package weighed 8 lb and would have killed him if it had hit his head. I yelled at driver. He jumped back in his truck and sped off with me chasing and yelling.. Called customer service. Got a run around from two different secretaries who said the case would be looked into, I would not be advised of any actions. They would not give me any higher up names or ways to contact anyone. At no time did anyone ask about the status of the package the driver had been paid to deliver. No one with any authority ever contacted me. A real rinky dink operations.

    Let me start my plight by saying UPS has a lot to learn regarding customer services as well as being truthful with the recipient of the package. On 1-14-2014 while checking my emails was sent an update that my package was out for delivery should arrive between 5-7pm. Put a sign on Street level gate, left my front door ajar, had the blinds and curtains open. Being proactive, I call UPS at 6:00pm to make sure my package is still out for delivery. The young lady on the phone assured me yes that I would get it. Well I left my laptop opened to the UPS tracking site and all of a sudden I notice a new status. @ 659pm driver claims I was unavailable for delivery. I IMMEDIATELY GO OUTSIDE, REMOVE THE SIGN FROM MY DOOR AND CHECK FOR THE MISSED DELIVERY NOTICE, NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.

    Mind you, the truck never came by the front of my home. I immediately called UPS and complained. My husband arrived home at 11pm and came in with a UPS notice. I asked him where he got it, he said attached to my front gate. (I believe the driver either live near me or came by after the fact to put the notice up.) They recommended I register for my choice delivery. Which I did. I request they come back on 1-15-2014 between 5-7 pm, when I would be home. Again I am tracking this package, when I get an email that the driver came by at 1:59pm. Well I guess the driver is either stupid, doesn't follow direction well, has a delivery quota, or just being spiteful because I complained the day before.

    Again, I immediately called UPS and spoke to a manager Mario. I explained the situation. I requested that driver return to my home between 5-7pm and guaranteed it.. Again I put up a sign, "DOOR OPEN PUSH TO DELIVER PACKAGE". Anxiety begins to get the best of me. I called the Supervisor Mario by passing the customer service number for UPS. "Annoying" he took my phone number and said he would text the driver so he would tell me where he was. Well 2 minutes later my package was delivered. AFTER 2 DAYS, UPS MY CHOICE REGISTRATION, 20 PHONE CALLS, CONSISTENT MONITORING. I signed for the package, said thank you, and the deliveryman never said, "You're welcome" and just walked away. I guess the next time they see my name or address they will be on point with their delivery.

    We sent two (2) packages to son in LA for Christmas. UPS provided a tracking number and UPS tracking site stated packages were delivered December 23, 2013 at 12:23 pm. Son never received packages. He requested thru the apartment complex management to check their video camera for this date and time for a UPS delivery. Apartment complex management reviewed the tape for that time frame and then went back to review for that particular date and there was no delivery to the complex that day. UPS is telling him now to file a police report. LA police don't have the time nor do they care about these undelivered packages unless they contained uncut diamonds, body parts, or drugs!

The last time the home owner was nice enough to get the package to me, but not all people are that nice. I called and complained.

In addition to the fact that this business requires -- by law -- that someone be present to answer the door, no delivery attempt documentation is ever left.

    I sent a very expensive item via UPS and insured it for $2000. I went through a UPS Store and they accepted the packaging. UPS lost the item and did not notify me. When I finally discovered the problem, the insurance claim was immediately denied because they said the packaging was insufficient. This was the same packaging used by the manufacturer to ship this product all over the world. The manufacturer had the packaging approved by UPS. When I asked for the packaging and some proof of how it was tested, UPS says they discarded the packaging so there is no way to prove the packaging was sufficient. Also, when you use a UPS Store, they are the actual shipper and insured party, so I have no legal standing to refute the insurance denial or complain to UPS. This dishonesty and incompetence by UPS and their affiliates has cost me several thousand dollars and the loss of a huge amount of time and effort.

    We sent a package overnight to our daughter in Nevada which contained documents she needed to register her car. Time was of the essence which is why we paid a premium and sent it overnight, for delivery by 10:30 am today. A call from our daughter inquiring about the package prompted our tracking on the UPS website. The site indicated it was in Ontario which forced a call to UPS. The first customer service rep was of no help and would only say it was in Ontario. So we placed a second call and got a rep who advised that the envelope (clearly marked overnight) had been put in the wrong bin and it was shipped via ground....and it will not be delivered until sometime Friday, 3 days later than it should have been. They can't even tell us what time it will be delivered. Aside from pure stupidity by UPS, I would like to know why they are unable to retrieve it from ground and deliver it either Wednesday or Thursday? Both days are late, but why would they not try to make the customer happy and expedite correcting their error?! Apparently guaranteed delivery actually means, "only if we don't screw up". It's time for those of us wrongs by this company to take a stand.....perhaps a class action is in order.

    I had two separate packages that were to be delivered on 12/30/13. I ran the tracking number on one package which was shipped overnight and the notation by the delivery person stated that he needed a correct address. I call UPS and spoke with a supervisor and told her it was the correct address. She stated that they would put the package back in for delivery and that it would be delivered that night without fail. FAIL IT WAS... They did not deliver the package nor did anyone call me. The other package also had a note that a corrected address was needed for delivery. We called UPS and they said that the package will be delivered the next day. The shipping that was paid for was UPS next day air. They do not care anything about customer service or human services.

    My package was supposed to be delivered 12/24/13. On that day it was listed in transit and in Oakland having taken 2 days to get from Ontario, CA via Visalia, CA. My home is located about 25 miles from the Oakland UPS hub. The package shipped 2-day air didn't arrive on the 24th as promised. I called and was told it wasn't actually in Oakland but instead was in Seattle. Not actually true by that time it had been shipped from Seattle to Portland, Oregon. On the 29th it had made its way to Louisville, Kentucky where it now sits. I tried to reach UPS through their web site with no luck. Package now promised on the 31st, not sure what year.

    I had four separate orders, and each one was delivered to the wrong address. The driver ignored the "North" part of the address and just dropped off the packages on the right street but on the South side... a completely different building/home. I had to go over and bother and inconvenience the man who lives there 4 TIMES! After each WRONG delivery, I called UPS and they confirmed the mistake. But it kept happening, even when I pleaded with them to ensure a correct delivery, and to have the driver take note. Never happened. I will NOT use UPS again, because they cannot ensure this won't keep happening.

    Package says "delivered" in system. In reality, my order was never delivered, at least to the correct address. UPS customer service useless on live chat, rude on phone. Fortunately, the company I ordered from (Mattel) very graciously sent out a new package. It'll be interesting to see if the order actually gets here this time, esp if they are using UPS again. I highly recommend if you are using UPS to require a signature for delivery, although that's no guarantee. The driver can put whatever he/she wants in the computer and that's the end of it. They can throw your package down the sewer and mark it delivered. In a sense, it was "delivered" somewhere...

    My wife and I purchased a difficult to find game system for family member which shipped from the Game Stop store's warehouse, arriving at the New Windsor, NY UPS site for local delivery. It was scanned in there 12/19 and supposedly on truck for delivery. Didn't arrive that day, or the next, or Monday the 23rd. Every day the tracking updates to "delivery by end of day" for that day (not true at all). We finally got a hold of a supervisor on 24th who told us package was "missing." After the initial scan upon arrival in New Windsor, it disappeared. My wife works for pharmaceutical research company and has had similar experiences often with UPS. Poorly run operation.

    According to the UPS tracking service, our package has been out for delivery since 12/19/13. We live about 15 minutes away from the local UPS depot, so we weren't that concerned. Since this was a Christmas gift, and it hasn't shown up as of 12/24, we decided to call customer service. We were transferred to an agent who works at the depot who assured us the package was in their possession and that it would be delivered by noon today. Around 6 at night, we called customer service again, now they are saying the package is lost. You stay classy UPS.

    Christmas eve is always hectic as expected. Every year people pay extra to ensure that packages are received on time especially those that are of higher dollar value. I went into the UPS store to pick up a package that my boyfriend had been expecting to be delivered on 12/22 after paying the before Christmas guarantee 2day delivery. After seeing that the package showed to be in Sherman both 12/22 and 12/23 stating that the package had "encountered a delay. We expect your delivery will be postponed by one business day" I told my boyfriend I would just go pick it up since I work right up the road.

    Well I get there and there is a long line of people who are looking for their packages as well. One lady in front of me ask a gentlemen that works for UPS what number she could call him at if the date that he had given her for her packages expected delivery to be delivered didn't happen. He gave the number to the office that no one was answering and she asked for another one. At that time this man turned away and walked off mid conversation. At this point a representative with channel 12 news came in and spoke with some us that were waiting to see what was going on and she stood quietly in the back. Then, a lady came out who seemed like she was going to help..... Well boy was I wrong..

    Her attitude wasn't any better than the 2 guys that were already working upfront. The lady asked "if I had my tracking number" and "I told her yes I did" and started to give it to her. She said "that my package wouldn't get to me until Friday 12/27 maybe." I said "there isn't any way that no one could go rummage through one of the trucks. This package is a gift that I wasn't suppose to know what it was. It has my engagement ring in it!?!" She said "no, if that was the case we would have these packages delivered already! At least you know about your engagement!" I couldn't say anything back because I was absolutely appalled by her lack of customer service especially stating that I would have to get the shipping cost back from the person that my boyfriend bought the gift from when in fact it wasn't the seller's fault! It's UPS's fault!

    It's been sitting there waiting to be sent out like it was suppose to be!! I even asked if they didn't get help from other hubs when they were behind and she replied "that they have been getting help. That I'm lucky that I didn't live in Dallas or Austin because they are 2 weeks behind." UPS shouldn't state that they are able and capable of taking care of these orders if they truly aren't! Orders shouldn't be sitting outside in U-Hauls or extra trailers waiting to be unloaded due to the fact there isn't enough drivers to deliver or space!! If they can't do it, send those packages to different hubs that have the capacity to do the work!! Thank goodness Channel 12 got to hear everything this rude lady was saying to all of us asking about our packages that were sitting in U-Hauls.

    I sent a package to my parents. When I took it to UPS, I told them it was perishable. I was sending it in state and was told it would be next day delivery. I packed it with a cold pack and sent it on its way. I tracked the package and sure enough it was on the truck "out for delivery" to my parents the next morning. My mother did not receive the package. I checked the status online again. This time it said not delivered due to an "emergency". There was no snowstorm or ice, it was 50 degrees and raining. Apparently "rain" was the issue, though there was no flood or anything. I had provided phone numbers to for myself and my parents as they request in case they have problems with delivery.

    Did we get a call? NOPE! I called them the next day and they could not tell me where the package was so that someone could pick it up and since they attempted to deliver on a Friday, they would not attempt another delivery until Monday. That doesn't constitute a phone call to the customer so they can pick up? I was placed on hold as punishment for raising my voice. Each time customer service got back on the line, I asked for her supervisor in a stern tone. She said not until I was nice and placed me on hold over and over. She refused to give me her name. Really?

    Once I got the supervisor he did the same thing only this time it was over giving me the phone number to call the local facility to try to find the package. He kept refusing to give me the number until I was nice... I was livid and had the right to be! I didn't swear at them, I raised my voice because they wouldn't help me, so they put me on hold and refuse the information until I ask nicely? What? Needless to say, I will never use them again. I called the location that had the package and was told they closed at 5 by the rep in Nevada, but the rep in New Philadelphia, Ohio said they closed at 3:00. My parents were unable to get there in time. Their package is ruined.

    A good friend of mine has been working with UPS to help them out for the Christmas season. Overall, he likes the job but told me some things about the company that wasn't so good. One of the things he mentioned to me was that the driver drives so recklessly that it often causes the boxes inside of the truck to get tossed all around the place. I personally took that information to heart because I have a business and use UPS solely to deliver my very fragile items to people all over the United states. I told my friend that maybe he should mention to the driver the fact that some of the boxes/packages have labels on them that say, "FRAGILE" handle with care. He said he would bring it to the drivers attention. He also mentioned how sometimes the driver throws the boxes around.

    He also told me the driver uses the F word all the time and seems to be stressed out and angry throughout the day/night. I told him that maybe the driver hates his job and needs to go find another one someday soon. Everyday they have to go to the customer center to drop off the boxes/packages they pick up from customers that need to get shipped out via air or ground. He said the other drivers there also use the F word a lot and appear to be angry and stressed out. So I have to assume it has a lot to do with the fact that they are just overwhelmed by all the boxes and packages they have to deal with during this time of the year. At any rate, I will keep them all in my prayers.

    What happen was my package was on time but wasn't released because of brokerage charges which sounds right, right? The problem is the only person that was home was the sitter and I work long hours. This wasn't the first time I had something delivered from UPS with issues (but the last). I called customer service a couple of days in advance and paid the brokerage fees over the phone so that when the item arrived to the house, all the sitter had to do is sign. The delivery man came three times and expected payment every time (now three days late) and gave my sitter attitude. I called customer S. and would get the runaround, "we will call you back in 1 hour and let you know".

    The second attempt to deliver the customer S. lady told me "it takes 24hrs for the message to appear in the system that it's paid for." Meanwhile, it had been 48hrs and money in their hands. In the end, they told me to come and pick it up but I refused. I told them, "You're a delivery company, do your job." UPS ended up delivering the package to my front door with no one home. What a great company! I understand that UPS isn't perfect, no company is. However, they're nowhere near that nor do they try to be.

    My wife was waiting for a copy of her birth certificate, expedited from the county recorder via UPS, she needs it quickly in order to obtain a passport for a trip upcoming in early January. December 9th. She discovered a failed delivery slip on our front porch. It indicated that an attempt to deliver the envelope containing her birth certificate at 8:35 am. I work at home and did not hear the door, which is highly unusual, but certainly possible. The slip also said that a second attempt had been made at 8:36, one minute later. Odd. Fortunately, we had until 7 pm to contact the UPS office and receive delivery the next day. No big deal, so we thought.

    It was about 5:40 pm when my wife went online using the tracking number, the status indicated that someone at the address had refused delivery. We we were both home, no one had refused any delivery, which was listed as having happened at about the same time as we were sitting there checking the status online. My wife, being the more diplomatic of the two of us, called UPS and was told that the parcel was being returned to the sender because we had refused delivery. We explained that was not true and was given to a "specialist" who simply repeated the same thing, we had refused delivery and it was our fault. She did add that the driver noted our home was hard to find, as if this somehow made it our fault, strange since we're on a well traveled and well marked cross street in the middle of town. She offered no further recourse and hung up.

    We went online to file a claim and wound up in an online chat with Juan, who although very sympathetic, simply repeated what we had been told before. We had refused delivery and that was that, end of story. To recap, we know the UPS driver was there, because of the slip. The time of the two attempted deliveries listed as 8:35, then 8:36 is obviously absurd. The real offense is that we had no opportunity to correct the situation because apparently the driver falsely entered that delivery had been refused, at a time when were home, and in fact the listed time of refusal had been entered earlier. No help, no accommodation at any turn in the follow up, just parroting that we had refused delivery. Apparently UPS drivers, at least this one, lies, and when confronted UPS staff really don't seem to care.

The snow and ice storm we had stopped that and I certainly understand that even the next day since it was still snowing through most of the day. Now it's Tuesday, December 10, 2013, and UPS is still saying that the weather is preventing delivery of my package. (Depending on who I talk to, the package is or is not on the truck. Yesterday it was supposed to be on the truck today it's not.) Funny thing is that both yesterday and today, UPS trucks went past our house making deliveries.

    When I finally talked to a supervisor today I was told the package is being held at the local facility. I asked why my package wasn't on the truck making its rounds out in our area and his only excuse was the perhaps the truck was delivering the overnight air packages. So in other words if you have a package that is overdue it will continue to sit but those express packages, they will get delivered. Hmm, someone seems to not care about all their customers.

    Now I am waiting for a call from the local facility to confirm that they will hold my package for me to pickup tomorrow. I was told that they would call me in an hour. It's now been 2 hours and no call. So when you get stuck using UPS, be aware that not all packages are considered worthy of delivery in a timely manner.

Well, 2 days later and nothing but ANOTHER delay.

Instead she told me that "It should be on a truck today or tomorrow and then allow another 1-2 days for delivery".

    I asked to speak with a supervisor to see if they could give me any further information, she put me on hold and left me there for over 30 minutes. I am assuming I was never going to talk to a supervisor, she was just hoping that I would give up, which I did. I do not know how they train their employees or why someone would treat others with such a lack of respect and take such little pride in their job.

    I don't like being discriminated. I had my GF's expensive Xmas present sent with you asking for an after 5pm signed delivery because I work downtown during business hours. What did I get? 2 delivery attempts to my apt. before 2pm... Tried going online to change the delivery time, except that I can only do so without further cost when I sign up for "My choice", so I did.. or tried. It turns out that as an international student, "the verification process" can't be completed, making me ineligible. That left me with two options, either paying AGAIN to change the delivery (within the same city) to my workplace, OR hold the package and drive myself to get it.

    That didn't sound too bad. I thought, "There is a UPS store literally 4 blocks away from my house, it's perfect". Except not really. For some reason for a delivery of downtown Chicago, UPS is somehow UNABLE to hold packages in ANY of their Chicago locations, except for the Schaumburg location which is not even in the same city. In fact, I would have to take a 6-hour trip just to pick this up! So I tried calling, but I just got same of the same **: Either pay up or go through unreasonable hoops to get a package I ALREADY PAID FOR. Oh, and in that conversation, UPS was apparently not responsible for the fact that their subscription system doesn't allow for internationals to sign up for the only program ("My choice") that allows customer to make changes without additional fees. Yea, right.

    I ended up paying extra for delivery within the same city because the agent was unable to give me a delivery window smaller than "9am to 6pm"... which is absurd when you're trying to make arrangements for someone else to receive packages on your behalf.

    I ordered an item from eBay. They just left it on the doorstep in a normally safe neighborhood, at night in a lighted doorway. Confirmed delivery at 7:14pm. Nothing when I got home. Neither neighbor had the package. Value $350, plus a whole load of my time, the shipper's time and eBay's time. If I put that together in billable hours, I would say at least $1500. Now, our usual UPS guy is excellent, but as the support guys told me, they're using holiday staff. Now the first support guy was awful, told me to contact the shipper and he couldn't help, told me he understood how frustrated I was but he couldn't help me. They should fire his rear end.

    The second support person was very helpful, but I've already spent over an hour waiting on the phone. Maybe my earlier estimate of costs based on billable hours was way low. I can only suggest that you just avoid UPS like the plague over the holidays, and if you do risk using them, make sure you insist upon delivery signatures and all of that stuff. But mostly, just avoid them until they train their temporary staff and work out how to provide them with incentives that ensure responsible delivery. Even the much maligned USPS is usually better than this. I hope none of you suffer from this company's negligence. Happy Holidays.

When I called UPS customer service for an explanation, they said that the original info was put up based on the expectation that the package would arrive on time and be sorted to the correct route on time. However the package was delayed and the delivery had to be changed.

    Since someone has to be home to accept a package, it is important that UPS be accurate in stated delivery time. They should not post "Out for Delivery" until the package is actually on the truck. I lost a day waiting for this package. UPS will not reimburse me for lost time and wages.

    When I called UPS to report that the delivery man in my area, CA 95138, hit my dog with his scanner in front of me, a UPS representative replied that it is the company policy and he cannot do anything about that. But he did not mention crass words crab delivery staff. I think one would use wise judgment when following company policy. He didn't have to hit a small 12 lbs dog because this little dog couldn't pose any threat to him. Furthermore, the delivery staff shouldn't use foul language to address to customers.

    The whole story started with my broken buzzer. I left a note on my mailbox asking, "Please leave package at the door," because I work all day and don't have time to pick it up from the customer service center because it's simply too far. Delivery ignored my note and left an info notice. I called back, discussed my options, none seemed to work. I decided to take 3 hours off work to travel to the center to pick up myself because it's a valuable item. Called operator, asked what I needed to bring. Operator says your government-issued photo ID.

    It just so happened to be my bad luck that I am a foreigner whose only legal ID is a passport. I get around everywhere with it because it is my legal identification that proves I am who I am. I don't have a US driver's license. I arrived after a literal 1.5 hour train ride (it's in the middle of nowhere), showed my passport, gentleman at the register told me I can't pick it up because my ID doesn't have a home address on it. I needed a bill or something. I said nobody informed me of that. Gentleman says, "Would you like to talk to a supervisor?" I got on the phone with the nice lady, she says I see, let me talk to the gentleman again please. I thought she was going to help me out and felt eager and happy.

    Another man came out and took the phone. I said I wanted to talk to the gentleman I was talking to. He said I'm the manager, took the phone and said to the lady nicely, "Oh it's alright, she didn't have to bother you with this, I'll handle it." Hangs up the phone. And handled me he did. He said, "If you would like to talk to the 800 number, do that. We can't give you your package." I said, "It's highly inconvenient for me to come down here and since it's not my fault, isn't there something you can do?" After about 10 minutes of conversation, he turned around to the room, called out, "Everyone, do you all have your ID on you with a home address?" Nobody replied, some nodded. He turned back and looked at me meaningfully. I tried to argue more, he said, "I've let you talk enough, now you need to leave." (Note that I wasn't holding up the line because another employee was helping customers.)

    A gentleman from the crowd sympathized with my situation and came up with his phone, "Log onto your bank account to show them your address". I took the phone, the man behind the counter stopped me and said, "That doesn't work because we need a statement in writing." Gentleman trying to help was speechless as I was and stepped back. So in the end, I left and I didn't get my express package till the Monday after that weekend, after I called to say I'll wait by the door at night until the delivery comes.

    I guess I just came here to voice my concern as a customer: perhaps next time someone from the company makes a mistake, one that causes a customer a lot of trouble in vain, instead of kicking the ball around, calling out, or kicking out the customer, APOLOGIZE, HELP, and bottom line, pay at least some RESPECT.

    Something is terribly wrong at UPS. In the last month, I have encountered many complaints regarding their package delivery service. I believe there was a time when a package could be simply sent UPS ground. It would arrive when they said it would arrive or reschedule, no issues. Since they are desperately trying to cut costs & compete with world class delivery services such as FedEx and even good old USPS, the recent operational changes & automation implementations have backfired. Not only can a customer not contact a local facility directly, the "Customer Service" call center cannot either (what I have been advised). They can send a message and hope somebody gets it. If an exception occurs, even if it is erroneously and obviously their fault, nothing can be done.

    I have talked to numerous support agents & also chat sessions. I always receive the same response "The package is scheduled for delivery today so it will be there", but the problem is, it never is. I believe they have the same vague information the website provides and just say that so that you will hang up & go back to waiting. I signed up for Choice & premium service to try and see if that would help but nothing seems to improve what appears to be just bad operating procedures that are too reliant on technology that cannot take the place of a human.

    I recently ordered a gift from Seattle, WA to be delivered in Augusta, GA. The package was sent out on 11/8/13. On Friday, Nov 15 the UPS website indicated the package was "out to delivery" in Augusta. Today, 11/19 I went back to track the package to see that it was now in Payette, Idaho. In calling customer service they said somehow it went back onto a wrong truck. They were not willing to expedite the package back to Augusta, even with all their "logistics" and were unwilling to make any amends. It seems unfortunate that they really seem to care so little to rectify a problem so a customer feels somewhat satisfied. Unfortunately, this is not my 1st negative experience with UPS and personally I NEVER use them. I am only sorry businesses don't give an option what service they use for their delivery.

    I've wasted about 3 hours of my weekend trying to get an option other than leaving it at my doorstep all day while nobody is home. My UPS CS rep was unhelpful and gave me all of the usual contract and legal excuses for not being able to help me. I am done wasting my time with this below par shipping company that, in my experience, doesn't care to hear about the receiving customer's experience. Remember we are part of your service too. If I don't choose UPS in the future it will hurt your numbers too. Thank goodness we have USPS and it apparently sets the standards that UPS doesn't care to compete with. So I would suggest you take the time to select another shipping option if you aren't going to be available whenever they decide to stop by your delivery address. Their actions seem to suggest that they are only targeting business to business deliveries and "sorry" in advance to the rest who choose UPS. Also, the reason for my efforts here and my ONE STAR rating is a direct reaction to my CS rep just dropping the call after all the time I spent sharing my concerns about their poor execution. There are other better choices out there so if UPS doesn't care to fix their game I personally won't miss them and I won't be using them until I see they've changed.

I received fake promises on two days to deliver my package even I called them twice and confirmed the dates with them. They wasted my time and didn't show up. Angry as I was, I wanted to call them for one last try and I did. Employees who worked their told me to drive to them to pick the package from them. (Even though I paid for shipping, their mind I'm supposed to drive back to them to pick up.) Then after they put me on hold another employee picked the phone and said, package has been shipped for sender back because I haven't picked the item in 5 days. No mention of their fake delivery dates at this time on this conversation.

    Frustrated and angry which any human being would be by this time, I asked them about what happened to at least a second time deliver attempt. They were all like "we are sorry, if you wanted to complain go ahead contact our supervisor on Monday" and hung up.

Around 7 pm I track it and see it still shows out for delivery. I call UPS and ask if it still being delivered as 7 pm is usually their cut off time. He tells me not to worry it'll be delivered tonight the driver is probably running late. About 10 minutes later I refresh my browser and see that at 2:48 they attempted to deliver the package. Really? I was home. There was no note left saying they tried delivery. I called to ask and they asked if they left a note and I said no. I then asked if a signature was required for the package and he told me no. So looks like the driver decided not to deliver to my house today. Maybe he or she was too busy to give a care.

    I was waiting for an important overnight package but was not there when they arrived (although not at the time they were supposed to arrive). I got a notice that the package was taken back to the office. I called UPS and was told by a nice woman that UPS would allow me to request a redelivery time and since it was still early in the day it could be delivered that day. She would contact the Deerfield Beach FL office and they would call me to set up an alternate time. I was called back an hour earlier but was told (despite their ads to the contrary) that it could not be delivered at my convenience, that it would NOT be redelivered today, and I could NOT come and pick it up at the UPS depot.

    We finally agreed that the package would be kept overnight at the office and I would leave work early and come pick it up. I was guaranteed that any time after 8:30 AM, my package would be available. I left work at 11, drove 45 minutes to their office, waited in a line of only 5 but for 25 minutes to give someone the notice with the tracking number. I then waited another 20 minutes to have them tell me the package was not there but had been returned to the sender because the address on my package was wrong. They showed me the address and told me that the driver could not find the house (although they were irritated when I pointed out that I had a notice left on my door which would have been difficult if they count not find the house). Then they told me he could find the address, but the package did not have my apartment number.

    The problem was that I live in a single family house, the door of which they had left the notice! Even at this point, they could not admit they had made an error and kept insisting it was my fault or the shippers. I did not take this well. They insisted the package was gone and their attitude was, "Too bad, it's your problem. Why are you bothering us?" They did finally admit after some heated discussion that they made an error but there was again no way to correct it so, again, too bad. I then called the UPS 800 number. I was again told I lived in an apartment and it was all my fault, but I finally got through to a supervisor who apologized and said the package would be traced and delivered to me at a time of my choosing. I got a message from Deerfield Beach which was a lukewarm and stilted apology and was told they were tracking the package and would call back when they found it.

    This occurred on a Friday. Nobody called over the weekend or on Monday. (Remember this was originally an overnight package paid for at their highest rate.) On Tuesday, I called and was told they had no idea where my package was but they would research it and get back to me that day. Of course, no one called. On Wednesday, I called and talked to a third level supervisor. Apparently they had decided that the package was no longer in the system so it must have been returned to the sender (a large company, so it was lost forever). I asked if I would be compensated for my lost time and aggravation. She at first suggested that they could promise me good service in the future (a hollow promise) but then said I should trust her and she would work something out and would get back to me by noon (it was 8:20 at the time). Of course, no one got back to me all day. When I called Thursday I was put on endless hold. Thank god for hand-less speaker phones - at least I can type this complaint while listening to Muzak.

    My package is gone. I had to cancel the order and have a new one sent. I will have to wait longer however as the only overnight service offered by AMEX is through UPS and I don't exactly trust them anymore. I am not surprised that mistakes could happen at a place which processes so many packages. My frustration is that they take no responsibilities, and continually offer meaningless assurances and promises with the hope you will forget them and give up: we are a big giant company and you are nothing attitude. Our promises about customer care, claims to adjust delivery times, claims to help customers are PR events which are followed only when it suits UPS and is convenient. (A new slogan: We will deliver your package at your convenience when it is convenient for us.) This is clearly the corporate culture, at least at Deerfield Beach, Florida. Consumer beware.

    AMEX will continue to use UPS if they give the lowest rates and it is the consumer that gets the very short and sharp end of the stick.

    I work long hours and like ordering on-line because of the convenience and have been doing this for several years. Since I work during the day, the packages are generally left at the front door. It started with orders from Nordstrom for women's clothing and shoes, where UPS said they left the package at the front door but nothing is there when I return home from work. Nordstrom is very customer oriented and I've always received a refund from them so I did not contact UPS for the first 2 times. Then there was a package left at my front door but the address is not even for the street that I live on. I personally dropped off this package since the street is just behind my house. In retrospect, I should have called UPS and make them acknowledge this mistake and pick it up.

    The third time this happened with another Nordstrom package, I did call UPS. They did an 'investigation' and I really did not bother to follow up with them since I already received a refund from Nordstrom. I started having Nordstrom put 'Signature Required' for special handling, but most of the time the package is still left at my front door. I do not have any missing deliveries when USPS or FedEx is used by the shipper, only UPS! End of Sept, I ordered a carry on tote from Amazon and the shipper did not ship the package out in time for it to arrive before my trip. The shipper said they would intercept the package so I left on my vacation without worrying about this.

    When I returned, I noticed that UPS marked the delivery as completed and left at my front door. The shipper informed me that they were not able to intercept the package but that they would ask UPS to investigate. UPS called me a few days later and I explained the situation. I admitted that since I was on vacation for 2 weeks, anyone could have walked off with the package. But that does not alter the fact that I don't have the tote. The lady I spoke to on the phone said that my case would be updated with this information. I received a refund from the seller so I assumed the case was closed.

    Yesterday, I received an 'ePackage' from UPS and when I opened the PDF file, it states that I acknowledged receipt of this package. I called UPS right away because now they are implying that I committed fraud, I received a refund from the seller, but now I'm saying I did get the package. I was furious and wanted to know when and how did they get my 'acknowledgement'. The UPS tracking representative admitted that he did not know, he saw only the documentation that I did NOT receive the package. He then said that the default message sent back to the shipper whenever a case is closed is that the receiver acknowledges that the package was delivered. That makes no sense.

    When I asked that they correct this statement, the response is that only the shipper can re-open the case and that I need to contact the shipper myself to explain the situation. I then asked for a phone number or the department that I can contact to discuss this 'default' message UPS sends out without actually confirming it with the receiver. I was told that there is 'no one and no department in UPS you can contact'. I will be writing a letter to UPS corporate office but I doubt if it would make any difference. I did contact the seller again and urge them to reopen the case. I don't think UPS should be allowed to get away with this kind of ineptitude.

    I live in a condo development accessed by a U shaped road that originates and terminates to the same larger road. Because roofing is being replaced on some of the condos, there is an obstacle to through traffic at one point in the U shaped road. So it is impossible to enter the development at one end of the U and exit at the other. There is a sign at one end of the U that says "no entry" and a sign at the other end of the U saying that there is two way traffic ahead (normally the U-shaped road is a one-way road).

    UPS will not deliver to our address - so we have to either drive about 15 miles to the local UPS Depot, or have UPS deliver to a UPS Store in a town about one mile away, which charges $7 for every package so delivered. We have met two times with the manager of the UPS Depot 15 miles away and she says the reason UPS will not deliver is that the driver says he does not have enough space to turn around, and would have to back out of the U shaped road - which is against UPS's safety regulations.

    I point out to the manager that there are at least three places to turn around at, or after, our location because the truck is 22 feet long and these places are all 45 feet wide and at least 50 and sometimes 100 feet long. The manager says the decision as to whether or not there is adequate space to turn around is totally up to the driver, and he says the space is not adequate (note that not delivering makes the driver's job easier).

    Here's the crazy part. First, I call UPS customer service and ask for a manager. I talk to a manger (**), tell her about the above situation, and she says the same thing, “There is nobody in management that will override the driver's decision to not deliver.” Second, I search all over UPS's website and can find no place whatsoever to submit a complaint by text or a phone number to call. With no mechanism for customer feedback, no wonder UPS is run by the driver's and not by management - and that their service is so poor. So we're stuck with the 15 mile drive or the $7 per package fee. I will never use UPS again - always FedEx!

    THE RATINGS ARE TRUE.

    I moved from Ohio to California and instead of taking my computer tower with me through the airport and plane, I had it shipped through UPS, thinking it'd be a pretty ok idea. I placed a 1,000 dollar claim on my tower for the insurance. A week after I arrived in California, the tower was just a wreck; the case was broken and it would just not boot up anymore.

    I called UPS to come by for an inspection. They came by my apartment, picked it up and told me by the end of this week, they'd let me know what would happen. I asked them do I have to package it up again properly as if it's going to be shipped again? They said no. Just leave the tower outside of the box and they'll be taking the box and tower with them as two separate items. Three weeks went by and nothing, so I called and asked customer service to see what was the status. She told me to call the UPS Store back in Ohio but wouldn't tell me why. Of course, all I was thinking was, "Why?"

    Turns out that not only did they deny my claim, due to "my fault in the packaging," but they found it necessary to ship my tower back a few hundred miles in its "POOR PACKAGING" BACK TO OHIO when I lived a few minutes away from the location where they inspected it. WHAT WAS THIS COMPANY THINKING?!?!

    I asked them the reason for this, because my intentions were if I was denied my claim, I was just going to get it repaired. She replied she doesn't know why they did it. She offered to ship it back to me, but knowing what had happened the first time coming to California, going back to Ohio, and now coming back to California, I told the lady to just keep it there and I'll have a relative drive a few hours to come pick it up.

    It makes me sad.

    I was expecting a package yesterday and was guaranteed next day service!!!!... The hard drive I ordered was for a customer and because it was guaranteed next day delivery, I promised him that his computer would be ready. I lost a very valuable contract due to the UPS driver's laziness... I called customer service and was given the complete runaround and they refused to give me a reason for the driver turning around two miles from my house and taking my package back to the warehouse. I found out later that he called his supervisor because it started sprinkling rain and the supervisor told him to turn around (two miles from my house!!!!) and let him call it a day between 4 and 5 pm... I have had UPS run as late as 8:30 at night before. I have filed complaints with the BBB and the Federal Trade Commission. When the driver gets here, I will take his picture and splatter it all over the net as the laziest ** I have ever met.

    Re: Notice of Immediate Resignation

    Due to incongruent management style, drastic training mannerisms, constant breaking down of personal respect, excessive labor and prolonged physical pain brought on by constant non-stop work patterns, I submit my resignation. As a fifty-five (55) year old, I did not seek out any employee rights but to seek gainful employment in a very contentious jobs downturn in America. But having said my age, from day one (1), I was only approached by management with destructive criticism to any and all work I did. Even with UPS Safety Guidelines and Policies, while in pain, telling the appropriate training personnel, I was ignored, never offered help and/or told in other words too bad. There was no camaraderie (teamwork) and to contest these behaviors thru the Teamster Union mechanism would not take into effect until 6-8 weeks into the continued abusive timeframe.

    As a Veteran, I gave it my best and tried to physically adhere to the gruesome work load but without any physical preparation nor time to recuperate, no management comprehension, I was intentionally forced into a panic mode work environment, causing periods of blurry vision, excessive sweating, nervousness, high heart repetitions over 200, dizziness, confusion and enormous back pain. In 45 years working, I have never worked harder in any American Company as in UPS, nor did I expect this at my age to be tricked this way, again demonstrating UPS management style. This job was a bad decision in employment. It lacked any employee input, any training parameters, immediate on-the-job work without training and it's a non-livable, low-wage job and it cost me a lot of money to work here. As an educated, self-motivated, honest, moral, hard working individual, I certainly would not recommend this job, this company or this type of draconian employment to any employee. But if UPS Senior Management is listening, keep it for employees that have the dexterity of age of thirty (30) years old or younger.

They kept saying they would call if they got lost (it's a town of about 200 people). I explained I work 4pm-12am so all 3 calls yesterday were after 4 pm.

    The UPS is the bad shipper. Their price is higher than others. Then delivery time is longest I had ever seen. Shipping in town (same zip code) took 4 business days to deliver from the 1st scan on their station. Many times I buy something online, and the seller use sUPS. It took at least 7 business days to get item on hand! While at the same time (same day order) other seller uses FedEx or USPS. Maximum is 4 business days to get it! Other thing is UPS can change delivery time as many as they want! I order on 09/02/2013. They set delivery on 09/09/2013. On that day, they change again at 5PM that will deliver on 09/16/2013. The reason is make by... God! When I need to ship something, I only use USPS (flat rate 2-3 days delivery including Saturday is VERY GREAT) or FEDEX, maximum 4 days delivery.

    I used to have an account with T-Mobile and on one of the lines I had an issue with the phone (Samsung Galaxy S3). Requested a replacement. The replacement was sent along with a return box and shipping label. I followed the instructions and attached the shipping label on the box and dropped in a UPS drop box located at 2568 Francis Lewis Blvd., Flushing, NY, 11358. I felt that the box got stuck and had to shake the box to ensure it drops down. This incident happened in first week of May 2013. However, after months of dropping the box, I get a call from T-Mobile that the shipment has not been returned. I called T-Mobile and after 5 failed attempts to get T-Mobile to ask UPS to investigate the lost shipment, I gave up. T-Mobile only opens a Handset research form and only searches its own warehouse, never contacts UPS.

    When asked if T-Mobile can provide me with a copy of communication between T-Mobile and UPS, they declined. I tried to contact UPS multiple times and I was turned down by UPS stating that the shipping label is created by T-Mobile. I am not authorized to open a claim on that . After running round and round between T-Mobile and UPS, I had to file a complaint with BBB. After a complaint with BBB, UPS called me and said that they failed to find the box. There was no scan on the box so no one can open any complaint. However, after a little search I have figured out that it is highly possible that is taken by the Driver or UPS employee as the box was already marked as T-Mobile Return Shipment.

    I have responded to BBB complaint and they rebutted the claim saying this matter is closed (literally WTF?). UPS says there is no evidence that I have actually dropped the box. However, I do have multiple witnesses who I was with and the salesperson working at a shipment shop less than a block away who told me about the drop box. Unfortunately they don't accept UPS. I asked him if I could drop the package. He said, "They don't accept UPS." I use this place as my regular shipping store and he suggested to me to drop the package in the drop box located in the next block .

    I would also request T-Mobile as I am sure T-Mobile keeps a record of IMIE numbers for the phone to trace the old phone and if it is in use, file a police complaint as stolen. They never did that either. The driver (I am supposing) is the only person to have the key to that drop box; therefore it must have been taken out by him. UPS Drivers are already known to be thieves. It is shocking to see that so many cases of lost cell phones have occurred with exactly the same story. I am pretty sure the driver has picked it and never scanned it as the box was marked by T-Mobile as a T-Mobile Return Equipment. I have been using USPS for my business and I know they maintain a postal police to ensure this never happens.

    Waiting for a package costing 152 dollars parts for our motorcycle for a much needed trip we were planning. When I received email notification that the package I was out in yard waiting for has arrived and was left on porch, I sat on my porch, lit a smoke in confusion, and waited for about an hr. Then called UPS. They asked for my address and track #. Then I was told there was no scheduled delivery to that address. After giving track and address several times and telling him my confirmation only said delivery to Toms River, no address, he said he found it. It was delivered to my address on the porch. I explained that I have been by the porch all day working in the yard and waiting for them and he didn't have my address till I gave it to him. He then chuckled and said he can't help any way; have to call shipper to make a claim, and hung up.

    Did so. Several days later, I received a call from UPS. They said it shows as delivery was made. Told her the whole story again . She said it would be investigated and I will be notified. Asked how I was going to get the parts or my money back to get stuff I needed before my trip and she said the seller should have already shipped new to me. 2 days later, got call from UPS again. Some Rose was her name. She informed me nasty like as if I did something wrong that because it was over 100 dollars, I needed a police report and that they would not be delivering to me any further without a signature as if I agreed to not having one in the first place. I informed her that I can't call the police and say I didn't receive a package and need a report. She said I had to report it stolen. I informed her I have motion camera on my door and no delivery was made. I need to speak to a supervisor.

    She said, "well we have a picture" of my home that it did get delivered . I said, "Good. Can you please email that to me? Maybe some mistake was made." She said no, she can't . And told Mr she would have a driver deliver it to me next day... And supervisor wasn't there, just her. So got this police report. No parts... A driver that didn't come the next day with a picture. A complaint in to corporate about Rose's actions and no call back. And to top it off, seller Radianz LED didn't reship package. They won't even answer calls or emails. Note I received 21 packages off eBay they USPS and some from FedEx. They all made it to my porch with no problems. Wish I knew how to fix this.

    I had ordered a replacement cellphone for my daughter. It was a paid overnight delivery. UPS stuck a more than valued $700.00 cellphone on a overnight delivery service, in a mailbox. The mailbox was full because the mail had been delivered. The box with bright red (Tamer Evidence Tape) on it was sticking out of the rural mailbox, with the lid open for more than 5 hours before it was discovered. What did I pay for, an unknown delivery, that was suppose to be signed for, stuck in an unsafe environment on a well traveled road. I had checks stolen at one time. Do you think something like this is safe?

    UPS is in direct violation of Federal Government Regulations. Federal Law mandates that only United States Postal Service mail may be placed in a US Mailbox. Yes, the customer buys the box, but the US Postal Service owns it. This one isn't over. I am reporting UPS to the Post Master General, as well I am contacting UPS and the driver can explain why he cannot do his job and make a delivery that was well paid for. Overnight is a guaranteed delivery on time. This one wasn't on time or even delivered.. I was home waiting on the package all day. My mailbox is a 1/8 mile away and not visible, from the house. Angry doesn't describe my feelings right now. UPS, get your head out of your butt.

    So I work from home every day and was expecting my new iPad and Nintendo Wii to be delivered by UPS. My doorbell recently broke and there is a sign on my door that says "Doorbell broken, please knock" in large letters and clearly typed. However, the driver decided to use this as a excuse thinking I wasn't home and left a notice on my door since a signature was required. I was less than 10 feet from the front door and work in total silence so even a soft tap on my door would alert me and set my dog off barking. Nope, they only left the notice and left and never bothered to knock.

    I just happen to be looking out the window and see them driving off and I quickly ran out the door waving them down and I know she saw me because I could see her look in her rear view mirror at me and she kept going. I called the main 800 number and asked they have the driver come back or if I could pick them up from the main location 30 min away. They agreed to let me pick up between 8:30 and 9:00 pm that night (last night). Arriving at 8:42 pm at the main station, the police guards (bad neighborhood) denied me access saying they close at 8:30! I pleaded with the officer and he checked with the clerks inside and said my packages were not there.

    I called the 800 number again and was told my pick up will call request was cancelled for unknown reasons and would be out for delivery the next day (today). However it never showed up when UPS came to deliver another item that they literally threw at my door because it didn't require a signature like the others did. So I again called and was told it was still at the main station waiting for me to pick up as I requested yesterday. I again drive out there and was told it was on the truck. Very aggravated, I told them I wasn't leaving until they gave me my packages. Then, all of a sudden, two officers come in and stand next to me and the clerk said they want to look one more time and they asked what the packages look like. Well, I really didn't know since I didn't send them to myself! I said they were probably in a brown box like all other packages they deliver.

    Moments later, the UPS clerk walks out with both beat up packages (in a brown box) and yes, they were mine. Thank goodness because I honestly don't know what I would have done had they not given them to me. That's probably why they called the cops in. Guess that's a typical thing there. Maybe they should actually stop playing games and do what they were paid to do and deliver packages. Maybe then they wouldn't need Dallas police to guard their facility. As for my beat up packages, well the sender did a good job packing them and they remain undamaged. I suspect the sender knew UPS was violent with handling packages. Anyway, I'm home now and never want to deal with UPS again. I think they have major communication and package handling issues within the company and need to reorganize. Too much chaos for a simple package.

    I contacted UPS to have the package held at the facility in order for me to pick it up first thing in the morning and not having to wait for the driver to deliver it by the end of the day since I needed the package to arrive before 12 noon. See UPS Note: "08/15/2013, 4:20 P.M., A Delivery Change Request for this package will be processed. / As requested, the receiver will pickup at a UPS facility at their convenience. This must be within 5 business days." The following day, the note from UPS read: "08/16/2013, 7:56 A.M., The Delivery Change Request for this package has been completed./ As requested, the receiver will pickup at a UPS facility at their convenience. This must be within 5 business days."

    Per UPS comments, the package arrived to the facility at 6:38 am on 8/16. I noticed there was another note added that read: "08/16/2013, 9:39 A.M. The business was closed today. A delivery attempt will be made on the next business day. / Package will be delivered next business day." So I immediately contacted UPS Customer Service because my business opens at 7:00 am and no UPS driver had been there. The first agent was not helpful at all, repeating the same notes in the tracking system, so I asked to speak to a Supervisor.

    The Supervisor contacted the UPS facility in Miami, FL and spoke to Rosa. They contacted the driver and he said he didn't have the package in his truck. They looked for the package at the facility and they couldn't find it anywhere. After about 3 hours on the phone, trying to resolve this, the Supervisor said the only thing left to do was to request an "investigation" to try to find the package and if they couldn't find it, they will then forward the request to the Claims department to request a refund on the delivery charge plus UP TO $100 ON THE PACKAGE PRICE!!!!

    I paid $460 for this merchandise. I have to reorder the merchandise because my client needs it as soon as possible. I have to pay $460 again, plus a Rush Delivery (hopefully with FedEx, never UPS again, ever, ever) and they will only refund me $100 plus UPS shipping charge, and that's only if they can't find the package. If they finally find it, they will only refund me the delivery charge. Even though I will have to reorder the merchandise, no matter if the package is found or not, because my client needs it right away.

    Not to mention the horribly stressing situation this problem has caused me, I had to call the client and explain to them UPS had lost the package they had been waiting for 5 days, even though it's not our fault, I still have to go through this terrible stress and deal with an unhappy customer. UPS is simply washing their hands on this problem. I asked to open an investigation, as recommended by the Supervisor herself, and she said the investigation needs to be requested by the SHIPPER, not the receiver, even though I am telling her that the Shipper is not responsible for this mess, that the package was lost by the UPS facility in Miami and that this had been confirmed by the facility staff. I asked her, "Why are you treating your customers like this? Why are you making them suffer like this? There's no excuse, no reason for this." I will make sure every person I know knows about how terribly awful UPS service is. I will place a complaint on every website I can find.

    I would like a refund on all the expenses caused to my business because of UPS. That includes shipping charges plus the cost of replacing the merchandise and the Rush Delivery request. In total, that's $550 and I can send all the receipts as proof of my expenses.

UPS would not accept a screenshot of my website that has the item price listed. Pretty much, I'm out.

    The guy that bought them was so angry with the destroyed product that he cancelled his order and now wants all of his money back. He will no longer speak to me via email or telephone and has threatened to sue. That insurance money was to go to him to prevent a lawsuit.

In part they say the box does not meet their standards. Well they accepted the box, and shipped the item, busted it up, and left me with a $1200 bill for getting the equipment repaired. IMO if the box was obviously not up to their standards, they should not have accepted either the shipment or the premium for the insurance.

    I ordered a Frigidaire AC from Amazon prime and it was supposed to be delivered on 07/22/2013 via UPS. I live on the 2nd floor of a 2 story house. The doorbell can be heard clearly from my room. Besides my room is next to the street, so if anyone sounds a horn on the street I can hear that clearly. I checked the status at 10:00 am and it said my package was out for delivery around 6:00am. I waited and waited till 4pm. No one showed up, no doorbell, no horn. I went downstairs and checked outside the door. I didn't find anything.

    Suddenly around 4 o' clock in the afternoon, the online status said a delivery attempt was made, but they didn't find anyone, so there will be an attempt for redelivery the next day. Me, my roommate and landlord all were at home till 4pm, and nobody heard a thing! I got scared and it was pretty hot, so I thought I would pick it up from Maspeth, NY. I called the customer care (1800 number) and they said I will hear from customer assistance soon enough. They called and said I should bring an ID with my name "or" address and my photograph. First I thought they said name "and" address. I got kind of worried because I am a foreign student, don't have a driver's license, use a prepaid phone and everything else is included in the rent so don't pay any bills.

    So I called the 1800 number again to make sure what exactly do I need. They said an ID with name "OR" address. I took my passport and in the evening took a train to Maspeth, NY. It took me 1hr and 10 min to get there. I had to stand in a line for 1hr and then when my time came the lady in the counter said she needs a proof of my address too!!! I explained my situation and told about the conversation, but she said she can't do anything! In that facility everything had to match! Frustrated I called customer care again, but I couldn't get what the other side was saying, so half an hour later I called the customer care again. They said my ID with my name should have been enough!!! And I would be receiving a call next day about what options I have. It was pouring a lot. I came back home at around 12pm.

    The next morning (07/23/2013) they called me and said they will deliver it on 07/24/2013. Now that I bought from Amazon Prime with an option of 2 day delivery I said I don't want it the next day. They said "but you said to hold it". I did ask to hold it but that was before the Maspeth incident. After that I said, "What options do I have?" But the person who called me just hung up on me before I could say anything without even saying he is disconnecting. I was explaining my situation and trying to let them know about the whole situation and that I want it returned back to the seller. Suddenly I realized the other side has hung up without even mentioning that, and I am talking on a blank line. I felt harassed at Maspeth but this time I felt awfully insulted! I called the 1800 number again and asked them to return the package after that.

No wonder the driver didn't knock or ring bell. He knew he was delivering an empty damaged envelope. And he doesn't want to be involved in any type of investigation. Well too bad for him he will be.

    Firstly, I have never liked UPS. They have always caused me problems when delivering and they have always been poor and rude when interacted with. FedEx, DHL, and the USPS have always been good for the most part. Additionally, I have ordered hundreds of packages online. This includes ones from UPS too, and I never had a damaged item. Even when in an inconspicuous brown box, nothing has been damaged.

    However, that has all changed. I purchased a $1000 Samsung monitor on eBay; I got it for $280 because of a small blemish... Otherwise, the monitor was brand new and came in the Samsung factory box and packaging. Everything was great. I thought I got the deal of the century and UPS agreed to have the package dropped off at the UPS Store in my city for $5 so no one steals it. Well, that was a silly concern because nobody would want to steal the broken piece of ** that arrived yesterday.

    It was very apparent that UPS damaged the package in transit and there was a, what looked like a small forklift went into the box, puncture. This is exactly where the screen was cracked. The screen was cracked through horizontally and vertically turning my amazing deal into a complete waste. Now, all I got was hassle and hopelessness. I even called around to see if it could be repaired, but nope... not an option. The monitor is now garbage and UPS can have it back.

    I even posted this on UPS' Facebook page and of course they were less than helpful, basically doing what I could already do myself and get a refund. I think UPS misses the point. If I wanted $280 in my pocket, I wouldn't have bought the monitor and saved myself the hassle. No, I wanted the damn monitor as I paid for it. Now I need to wait for UPS to contact me to pick up the package and SURPRISE, I'm still waiting. UPS is a special organization that makes it on the top ten most hated companies I have dealt with yet... So far there are only three but I have many years to complete the list. They go in order... Verizon, UPS, and Comcast.

    This goes to show that if you do everything right, you will still be screwed over by UPS aka the walking talking Murphy's Law. Please see the lovely pics of the broken monitor UPS sent me.

I did not hear any doorbell; neither did I see any InfoNotice. Later, they claim that it was left on the front door on Friday, the 6th of July 2013, saying the InfoNotice was signed by us to be left at the front door. We hadn't even seen any InfoNotice, let alone sign it. I have checked with my neighbors. Nobody has seen any package. It was a large box (16 lbs. of brand new clothes) so couldn't go unnoticed. I have asked UPS several times to show me the "signed InfoNotice" but they do not reply to my requests. Their customer support is extremely non-cooperative and wouldn't even listen. All they have to say is "I don't have any information to comment".

    I shipped a very expensive golf club that had been sold. I went to a UPS store and they packed and shipped the package. When the package arrived, the golf club was broken into two pieces and box was creased. A UPS representative picked up the package and later, I was informed the claim that had been completed was denied. How can a company deny a claim that they handled from start to finish and then deny they damaged it. I will never mail anything else at a UPS store. I wouldn't recommend shipping anything that has any worth with UPS.

    I have come to this UPS store since it opened years ago on Elliot Rd. next to Safeway in Gilbert, AZ. One of the employees has taken my daughter’s cell phone numbers from the paperwork. To think he has our address! One daughter mailed a package in Dec. 2012, received a phone text on how he thought she was beautiful, asked, “Is this you **? I wanted to talk to you. I mailed your package for you...”

    Then this June 2013, my youngest mailed a package, got a text, saying the same creepy stuff! They told me what he looked like, we have the texts saved. It took 3 days to get hold of the owner. He has not called me back! I know who this man is by the description! Waiting to hear from the owner! UPS store in Gilbert, AZ Val Vista and Elliot Rd. I called him this morning. He said he talked to his manager, and he will not do again. He also said he got the cell #s from a friend. Really!!!

    A shipping from Sleepy, delivery by UPS. I did not receive my order and contacted Sleepy on 6.3.2013. So Sleepy put an investigation on this with UPS. I received a phone call on 6.7.2013 around 12 noon and she stated she’s calling from the UPS local store stating I claimed I didn't receive my shipment and now they have to pay Sleepy $370. She started harassing and was unprofessionally rude. So I contacted the UPS 800 number and filed a complaint of time and date of call received. And I guess they tracked her down and she got in trouble because she started calling my cell and home phone yesterday, 6.19.2013 at 7:41pm.

    First call, I picked up and she stated she’s calling from Allstate Insurance and that there's a claim against me that I backed up at the parking lot of CVS near my house and I bumped into another car and confirmed me that I drove an ML350 and asked me if this occurred?! Then I said no. I rarely go to CVS and that I have not backed up into any other car before. She kept accusing me that I lie and blah blah blah. So I got pissed off and told her to do whatever Allstate wants to do with the claim and investigate it. Then she said, “Well, you can settle this claim without going on file and paid the couple $370 for the bumper damage.” Then I told her she must be crazy! She wouldn't let me hang up the phone, so still I hang up on her and told her do whatever she needs to do on her end. Then right away, I contacted Allstate and confirmed no claim on my policy so that was a scam. I was so stupid to talking to her for so long. I should have noticed from the start.

    Then I realized it must be her from the UPS store that called a week ago with the same tone, voice, attitude and $370. Phone has been ringing again and again since I hang up on her. The second time I picked up the phone was at 8:29pm and again she said she’s calling from Allstate and has been trying to call me for the past half hour. Right away, I told her, “I know who you are. You are the lady from the UPS that I filed a complaint on so stop calling here!!” When she heard that, the last thing she said to me was, “Be careful what you say because I know where you live and what car you drive.” I told her I'm going to call the police and track her down and hang up on her. Her call to me was blocked so I can't see her number. Then about 20mins later, a pizza was delivered to my house and I told them that this is a scam and if they receive a private call again, don't make delivery for this address.

    I also contacted UPS 800 number again and told them the above matter. A guy named ** called me back from UPS complaint dept. stating he read overall the note from day 1 but cannot give me her name or information because this time she’s not calling me from the UPS office and this is between me and her now, so there’s nothing he can do. But I don't understand. She got my information, name, address, cell and home phone through the UPS delivery info! So this is between me and her now?! I live here for 8 years. This never happened to me before this incident and you’re telling me I can't be sure that was her?!

    On April 30, 2013, I shipped out professional recording studio speakers with a UPS Store at 637 Wyckoff Ave Wyckoff, NJ 07481. I purchased insurance for the full value of the package because it is a valuable piece of equipment. Upon the package's arrival, I received an email from the recipient letting me know that the package had been damaged during shipping. I asked for photos of the equipment because I wanted to know what the damage was. The damage to the external and internal cabinet rendered the speaker useless. Being that the speakers were on their way for repairs for a power source issue, I am now liable for an additional $1000 repair on the speaker.

    I contacted UPS to file a claim because of the damage and my claim was denied because of packaging. The UPS store never told me there was an issue with packaging. They knew both the weight and the size of the box. UPS never went to the receiver to inspect the package. They made their decision based on the photos. They are claiming the package was not properly packed. It is insufficient to make such a decision based on an already opened and discarded package. I have seen online that UPS is keen on denying claims to customers after they have damaged packages. This should be unacceptable. I am filing a complaint with consumer affairs because someone needs to look out for the customer. I have spoken to several agents and supervisors at UPS and they aren't the least bit sympathetic to my situation. I am now out of work 4 weeks because I can't use the speaker I need. These corporations are completely out of control. Can someone please help?!!!

    You might say I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS COULD HAPPEN. One afternoon, we made a godly sin of checking off ground shipment option when we really meant to ship overnight. Within 5 min. of pick up, we were on the phone trying to correct the problem. We talked to 4 different people who said, "Sorry, can't help you." So, we accepted okay that shipment is going to take 4 days to Iowa when we really wanted to ship overnight. Next, the package arrives in an Iowa depot, and then I see that UPS has noted "Customer wants to intercept package." So, before they delivered, UPS decided to intercept package and send it back to us! Now what kind of a moron, backward, ** person would do that? What for? Why? Someone there decided, "Oh, these guys wanted to ship overnight. So when the package arrives, we'll divert it back to them so that they can!!!!!"

    I shipped a package to a customer. The service included home pickup. The driver arrived at the door, picked up the package, but did not sign the receipts lying next to the package on a clipboard. The online tracking showed that the shipment was picked up in Lincoln, CA and arrived at the UPS depot in San Pablo, CA. That's as far as the tracking went. It was reported missing and a search initiated. After about 6 months and 20 or so angry telecons, I received a check for the insured contents on the package. Then UPS started harassing me about paying the shipping/delivery charges! They didn't deliver it... why should I pay? After about many more phone conversations, they stopped sending me bills. They have just now turned the item over to a collection agency who threatens to damage my credit rating. I am now engaged in a letter campaign with them. Is this the kind of treatment you would expect after a 20+ year relationship as a (former) account holder? I think not. My advice? Think FedEx.

    I ordered a $500.00 automatic pool vac. cleaner system from Amazon. UPS dropped off the package by knocking on the front door. And when I got to the front door, the delivery man was running to the truck. I thought that was odd until I opened the door and saw the package, by which time he was in the truck and driving rapidly away. SHOCKING that the box had been opened (seal broken and all flaps ripped back), was wet, every corner damaged, torn box taped in many places; and where the interior contents were visible, they could be seen lying loose within the box... another sign that the package had been opened and gone through.

    I called AMAZON immediately, took several pictures and a video. AMAZON has already processed a full refund and is paying for UPS to return the product. WE will see what happens. It is a shame that a company like Amazon would be so ill-served by a delivery company which handles the merchandise in such a destructive manner. I wish to warn others about the careless delivery service with UPS, and to acknowledge the great customer service from AMAZON in this matter. Thank you.

But today, 8 weeks into the claim, now they want us to ship it to a third party evaluator to determine if it is fixable or not. Plus they want documentation of the shipper sold it for as opposed to what the replacement cost. The claims people are arrogant, condescending and have the attitude that everyone should know, the constantly changing rules that UPS uses to not pay claims. Buying UPS insurance is a waste of money.

    On March 7th, 2013, I boxed and sent 15 shipments to my home. On March 12th, 2013, all 15 boxes were delivered to my home where my family member who was there called me to advise me of the condition of these boxes. I was not at home when they were delivered as I would have questioned the driver as to the condition when received. I came home from out of state the following week. I was shocked and disgusted to see all 15 boxes were crushed, torn open, soaking wet on the bottoms where I was not able to pick them up. They were opened up and resealed and I found many items missing, many items damaged.

    There was a package in one of my boxes addressed to someone else; I sent that package on to the person as I knew they must have wondered what happened to their shipment (a picture of this was taken also). On March 21st, when I arrived home from out of state, I contacted UPS customer service center to file a formal complaint and start a claim on each of these shipments. I was advised someone from the claims department would get back to me. I waited a few days and then I received a call from UPS. I spoke to a Johnny ** who said he would start a claim as I had given him all of the information and tracking numbers over the phone. He asked if I had pictures of some of the boxes to email him. I told him I had a few and would be taking more to send. I asked him if that was all that was needed and he said yes.

    Due to my work schedule out of state, I was not able to expedite the request until April 21st but did send him what I had via email on April 21st at 8:35 pm EST to Johnny (I have the emails). I waited and 3 weeks later, I sent a follow up email on May 13th advising of the status as I had not heard anything back from him to date. Throughout this entire process and the long span of time, I did not save the 15 boxes as there wasn't much need to as I was already disgusted not to mention advised by Johnny during our first call that I did not need to do anything else. Surely, if I needed to save the crushed/torn up boxes, I would have. On May 16th, 2013, I received a call from UPS asking about my account with them and when I was going to pay the bill for the shipments. As you can imagine I was outraged as I had already advised Johnny ** in an email that I was disputing the bill. This call led to the start of a series of claims as I was finally advised 2 months later I could have done this online through UPS?

    My 15 claims started on May 16th, 2013, and I am getting a lot of push back from UPS stating the boxes needed to be inspected and denied as they said the boxes were inspected and the packaging materials were not sufficient. This, of course, is completely unfounded. I had to laugh because the boxes have been discarded 2 months before the May 16th claims and if they needed to be inspected, it should have been done when I initiated the first claim in March 2013 but I was told nothing else needed to be done on my part by Mr. **. The bottom line is, I am not being compensated for the stolen items from my shipments when these boxes were re-opened and re-sealed. I am now demanding all of my claims be paid at the replacement cost for stolen, missing items along with a credit for each cost of shipment. This entire experience has stressed me beyond belief. No one should have their personal things violated in this manner and should not be treated unfairly as a result.

I called their phone number and I was encouraged to mail a money order for $720 with a note of the part I needed and the type of motorcycle it was for, which I did in early March (postal money order). By the end of March, the package still hadn't arrived. I contacted them via email (due to a multitude of family health crisis) and was simply told of the tracking info that stated it was delivered. (I have been on signature delivery confirmation since my ex-husband and his friend, a neighbor, were caught stealing mail from my mailbox 6 years now.) I told MTC that it was NOT received and their response was to call UPS. I did and that has turned into weeks of playing phone tag and receiving the runaround from them along with the driver coming to my home while I wasn't here (taking care of sick and elderly dad in another state) and interrogated a friend of mine who was visiting for pet care for me AND proceeded to tell this person that "UPS isn’t going to pay for this. They'll probably call police."

    My fragile daughter overheard this exchange and went into a full-blown panic attack as a result. (The police frequented here while her abusive father was here. We are survivors of domestic violence and had a restraining order protecting both of us.) More calls to UPS to complain about all of this produced NO results.

I have complained and got no real resolution, only excuses and backing up the lazy driver. The final straw was when UPS decided to redirect my package to an old address I am no longer at.

    The company opened my box and called me a week later to let me know it was there. UPS picked it up and refused to deliver it to my house. Instead, they changed my name to **, sent me a notice that the package was being returned. I am afraid to use UPS again due to retaliation and my package never making it to me. That is a bummer because UPS used to be a respectable, professional company but no more. Don't use UPS. Don't trust your precious packages to a company that just doesn't care.

    I never had a problem with UPS until this week. I bought a special type of formula for my son which cost 260 dollars for 8 cans that last about 20 to 24 days which is ridiculous pricing I would like to add. But anyways, he ultimately couldn't take it. So I happened to be on a website about the stuff and saw someone posting about how it was making them go broke. So I decided to be a nice person and pay for the shipping and give it to them free. So I took it to the UPS store, paid almost 30 dollars to send it expedited and went on my merry way.

    I received an email from the couple that day to make sure I was really shipping it because they were almost out of this formula which, I might add, you cannot buy this formula at a store. It must be shipped to you from a company or someone who already has it. I reassured them that it will be there in 2 days and they were very happy. Well, to my horror, it wasn't delivered. So I called them to find out where it is and they told me they don't know but I have to contact the store I shipped it from. So I did and gave the lady all of my info and I was told that she would launch an investigation.

    So 5 days went by and I heard nothing from UPS but plenty from the people I sent it to who thought I was lying. So on the 6th day, I called to find out what was going on. And here's the kicker...The lady I talked to never even launched an investigation! Seriously?! So as I was on the phone with this guy, the lady was in the background saying what to say to me so I asked to speak directly with her and I was told she was busy. Really?! She's so busy but I can hear her telling him what to say? So later in the day, I checked the UPS tracking site just to see what it would say.

    Well, it said that it was last checked in at Texarkana, Arkansas. This was different than what it had been saying before they started the investigation. I would also like to add that I was shipping to Texarkana, Texas. So I called the UPS Customer Service because I thought first, maybe they found my package and second, I hope they didn't find it and put in that it was supposed to go to the wrong Texarkana. I explained everything to the lady who answered and she looked it up and told me that I was wrong; it says Texarkana, Texas and that it was only filed earlier in the day and I would have to wait the 8 to 10 days to get an update and they will know nothing new until then. So after I hung up, I checked the tracking site again. Guess what? It still says Arkansas!

    Oh well. So I am still waiting on what's going to ultimately happen with this claim but I don't have very high expectations going on what has happened so far. I will absolutely never use them again. And I will also tell anyone I ever can not to use them!

    I sold a portable air conditioner on eBay to a guy in New Mexico for 243 dollars. I paid UPS 118 dollars to take it to the buyer. They delivered it broken. The guy sent it back. Now UPS is trying to bill me $64 for returning it to me broken and missing parts. And they are so stupid that they warned me that they were going to bill my Visa. Of course, I lost my card immediately and now they are hounding me for 64 dollars. Meanwhile eBay and their seller protection says seller protection doesn't cover that, but I thought seller protection was to protect sellers. You know, this name seller protection is very misleading.

    This unit is portable with wheels, and only a couple of years old. It was made to be moved around; it's very durable, tough, high impact thick plastic. It is actually shattered and splintered. They had to have broken it intentionally, on purpose. They denied my claim and denied my appeal. Can I please get some justice? Whoever helps me can have the money from this shipment and all the money eBay has been stealing from me for their so-called seller protection, just as long as they pay and stop railroading people like this!

    I had a package sent for a birthday present, bought off of a 3rd party sales site. According to my package history, the package rode around in the truck for 2 hours before they filed a damage claim. How does a package manage to be fine out of the package handler's hands, then once it makes it on the truck for delivery becomes so damaged that their trusty fix-it tape can't patch it up? So apparently, don't trust the drivers in Kearney, Nebraska to get your items delivered in one piece!

    I had a signature-required package and knew it was coming in on Friday. I made sure to make arrangements to be home. I was awake, had no TV or radio, no in-house noise whatsoever, just waiting. The deliveryman never knocked, never rang, and merely posted a sticker that the 1st attempt was unsuccessful. Unlike most on my street, I use my garage as, you know, a place to park my car. I had the front blinds closed against the afternoon sun, to save energy. I suspect the driver decided before he left the truck that I "wasn't home". Because I live alone, I now have to make arrangements to be home again on Monday.

    This happens all the time and I only report this case because I am furious about the way they delivered my package this time. They made the first attempt on Thursday afternoon and I wasn't able to get it because I needed to work during the day. The delivery guy left an info notice on my door marking the 2nd attempt would be made on Friday after 5 pm. So I made my work arrangement to leave early so that I can get back home before 5. I managed to get home at around 4:50 pm only to see another door tag and after I called the customer service, they told me the attempt had been made at 3:30 pm. I questioned them why they failed to abide by the said delivery time range. UPS keeps telling me that it was an estimate and the actual delivery time is completely based on the driver's free will.

    I can't believe how absurd their business rule is. If they cannot make a reasonable estimate, they can choose not to. Instead, they made a business promise, and when the customer made his arrangement trying to fit into their schedule, they violated it without any reasonable excuse. And all the customer service reps said was it's not a reliable estimate. So they want me to convey this message to all the UPS customers including the businesses who still choose this company as their major delivery vehicle, that if you choose UPS, you've got to stay at home all day on the delivery day to receive your package. If you make many online purchases in a year and they all ship with UPS, then please quit your jobs! That statement has been confirmed and agreed upon by the UPS customer service reps.

My big concern is all my personal information such as tax returns, credit card and etc. which could be a gold mine if someone wanted to commit ID theft.

    Shouldn't UPS be liable if that occurred and pay for their legal team to do the groundwork to restore your credit worthiness because of the hassle and headache for someone to clear their name? What can I do? Is there some kind of legal resource? I am not asking for money but for them to clear it because of their error.

They then shoved everything back in the box, without the bubble wrapping I had provided, and shipped it back to AZ. When it arrived back to AZ, the box was torn up, smashed, crumbled, and had holes in it. The computer was destroyed, with scratches, broken plastic, metal sides popped out, and some of the components (mouse, mouse pad, and remote) were missing. The keypad was scratched up. Everything was scratched and broken! UPS did not wrap my computer to ship it back to AZ. They will not talk to me, and claims Postnet, where I had shipped the package from, originally was responsible. No one authorized the package to be returned to AZ. So, UPS took the authority to ship my package back to me without packing it properly, so therefore, they are responsible. I paid over $900 for this system.

    We shipped a $1,000 (that was professionally packed from) Houston to Columbus. We paid $250 for the TV and had it insured. A UPS employee in Obetz, OH, dropped and damaged the TV. A claim was raised and the TV was routed back to Houston and never delivered to Columbus. The claim was denied. I refuted the claim and asked for my shipping money back. UPS customer service said they would contact me, but no one did. I had to proactively manage this claim for them and the impression I got was that UPS has a poorly, internally coordinated and fundamentally broken claims handling process. The store and customer service never kept up to their word and kept pointing at the packaging. The TV was professionally packed in 3 boxes and packaging by itself does not damage a TV unless a nut job at UPS drops it.

    A month later I am still calling UPS customer service and the store, and I keep getting different answers. I will never use UPS again.

    I sold an item on eBay to a buyer in another state. After the sale, I packed the item in the original box that the manufacturer used to send it to me. I decided to drop the package off at a UPS Store #1770 in Spokane Valley. While I was there at the counter, I asked to have the item shipped and was quoted $150. The item had an automatic insurance policy of $100 for the package and I made the decision that would be sufficient, but knew it wasn't if I had to replace it. I took my chances since I have never had anything damaged in shipping before. There was a Fragile Tag placed on the box and the clerk suggested I write it on the box as well. He allowed me to use his felt tip marker and so I marked the box ‘Fragile’ in large letters.

    The delivery took about 5 days and the receiver notified me that the package contents were damaged. The contents were carbon fiber, an almost indestructible material that requires a huge amount of force to be applied to damage it. I immediately contacted the shipper (UPS) and filed a damage claim that day. A rep from UPS came to the receiver's home and picked up the package for inspection. He told the receiver that it surely was damaged in shipping and would be contacting the shipper (me) about the damage claim. I was never contacted by UPS concerning the damages ever. I have not received any documentation and the status that is placed on their web site stopped updating any progress whatsoever.

    This concerned me and I sent a request for more information from UPS 2 times, asking what the status was on my claim. I received no response. The package ended up being reshipped back to the UPS Store for some reason even after the receiver said to return it to him after the inspection so it can be repaired. This item was the receiver's property at this time, bought and paid in full. Yet they shipped it back without permission from me or the owner of the item. Days passed as I watched the UPS website for a status update on the claim and for transport information. I called UPS and explained that they were not supposed to take the package from the new owner of it and that it needed to go back to him so he can have it repaired. I informed them that I have not been contacted about the claim, or damages, or anything else about the package.

    It was total confusion to me as to why they took it on their own to return it without attempting to contact me about any information concerning this package. They tried stating the receiver refused the delivery which was a total lie and I have emails from him stating he never said that to UPS. He told them he wanted it back after inspection. Eventually, I received a phone call from the UPS Store stating that I needed to pick up this delivery from them now. I explained that there was some mistake and it should have never been shipped back to me and that I was not the owner of the item. I told them that they needed to contact the owner (receiver) and let him know they have it. The girl on the phone got angry rather quickly because I was explaining that I was not the owner of this package and they must call the owner up and explain to him what needed to be done. The girl was beginning to argue with me and I advised her that I was not going to listen to her threats that if I don't pick this package up that they would throw it out.

    This item is a $1200 carbon fiber roof panel for a car. She threatened that if I didn't pick it up that it would be thrown away since there was no room in their store to hold it. I then explained, "I will contact UPS customer line and will contact you back after I have spoken with them." I contacted UPS and spoke to a supervisor named "Tia" at 800-742-5877. She was nice enough and said to please inform the UPS Store to contact her and she would arrange to have package re-sent back to the owner. This was exactly what I wanted and what the owner wanted. The following day we got another threatening call from the UPS Store from a Lisa working there. She went right into loud threats about the package and telling me that I had to pick it up or it was garbage and would be removed from the store.

    I stayed as calm as I could, which I surprised myself and explained that they need to call Tia at UPS so that this entire mess could be cleared up, she would not even listen to this; I also mentioned that the owner would be calling her as well shortly and requesting his package back. It was all arranged by Tia to have it returned to the owner, plus the owner called her and also asked her to contact Tia for the info to resend it back. UPS recognized the mistake that was made and opted to resend it back so the claim could be handled by the owner himself. Lisa was so frustrated with me since I was not headed over right then and picking this package up like she wanted. She hung up on me and this was the second time she did this. I explained very calmly that I was not the owner of the package and she needed to speak with the owner to arrange the return of his property. This was a very simple request that she refused to acknowledge and complete, even after all the time I spent on phone with UPS to arrange it.

    The next day, I got an email that she hung up on the owner when he called. He was advised also to inform UPS Store to call Tia so he could get his property back. He said she was rude and threatening and refused to contact UPS. Shortly after reading the email sent by the owner, I got a phone call from the UPS Store owner. She was ballistic and telling me to pick up this ** package or else. Again, I explained I was not the owner and could not make a decision on the package, "I'm sorry; it's not my responsibility. Contact Tia and the owner for further information." Oh man, this girl had a mouth and she used it beyond the call of duty to a customer. She screamed at me and said that if the package is not picked up, she would have it removed and thrown away and that will be the end of it, and hung up on me.

    The reason they wanted me to pick it up was only because they did not want to be responsible for returning it to the owner. They wanted me to pay another $150 to resend it and they did not want to have it any other way. They told me that they would not contact UPS or the owner and that convinced me they just wanted to get off the hook of resending it to the owner, like it was supposed to be done and arranged. I had to protect the investment by all means and the following day, I made a decision that cost me additional money and a sale. I went to the UPS Store and picked up the package. I had to since I was dealing with an unprofessional merchant threatening to destroy a $1200 item. I have to pay back the owner now for his purchase; I have a damaged package I cannot resell and have gotten no response concerning my claim for the damages caused by the shipping.

    So, this is the game that is played by one, UPS, and two, the UPS Store. These are two services, which have yet to accept responsibility for their actions while my delivery was in their possession. UPS Store says that UPS is responsible and UPS says, "It's out of our hands," in not so many words. They have this routine down pretty good to close the doors on you so easily and leaving you high and dry. I'm out a lot of money here and I lost a sale in addition to having a non-replaceable item damaged beyond repair. Why is this dropped in my lap when I was only doing what is supposed to be done? I paid good money to have this shipped with respect and I got nothing but threats and no cooperation from the entire ordeal.

    The package was picked up by UPS at my home on 2/15/13 (Friday) in Delaware. The item was wrapped and taped with cardboard, forming an inner box around the item. Then $20.00 worth of bubble wrap was wrapped around that, and then it was placed in a box. The box was not only taped closed at seams but several runs of packaging tape was used to tape in all directions to keep the package secure. If the packaging wasn’t adequate, the driver should have said so. The item was delivered on 2/22/13 (Friday) in California.

    The package was received at the destination after delays by UPS stating that the address was wrong, which it was not. The receiver called the evening of the delivery and stated that the item is broken. I requested he take pictures and send them to me, which he did almost immediately. The following day, 2/23/13 (Saturday), the claim was filed with UPS. I am told by the UPS representative that UPS will either inspect the damage at the receiver’s home, or pick up the package and take it to a UPS station for inspection; and then I would be contacted.

    On February 23, I received an unknown charge of $12.00 from UPS on my email. On March 2, I received an unknown $4.62 charge from UPS on my email again. After numerous (6-8) calls to UPS, I was finally told that the item was on its way back to me. I inquired about the claim/inspection, and I was told it had not been inspected. On March 9, I received a $91.25 charge from UPS on my email stating that it was for the return shipping from California to Delaware. Additional calls were placed, and confusion still continues on the part of UPS regarding the situation; just like the call I received from the Delaware UPS station asking if this package was supposed to be coming to me or going to California. And still, there was no answer regarding the claim. Finally, on 3/15/13 (Friday), I received a voice mail from UPS stating that the claim is denied because of improper packaging.

    Through the tracking number, I see the package is scheduled for delivery on 3/18/13 (Monday). It does not arrive until 3/20/13 (Wednesday). The delivering driver is the same driver that picked up the package on 2/15/13. The box didn’t resemble a box, but looks more like a ball of cardboard and tape. Looking at my expression, the driver was curious and asked what was going on with this. I told him the long story, and he shook his head throughout. I also told him that the claim was denied, which he said was normal.

    I explained the damage, a metal cover that was broken, and he stated that in order for that to have happened, the box must have been dropped. I asked if he remembered picking up the package on 2/15/13 and he stated that he did, and that it was a late pickup (5pm) and that UPS had sent two trucks to pick it up. Yes, he remembered right because as he was loading the box in his truck that night, another UPS truck pulled up. I asked what he thought of the packaging when he picked it up and he stated that it seemed fine. Upon my inspection, some of my original packaging materials are not present anymore. So in total, it took about 5 weeks for UPS to handle this from start to finish.

    As for the damaged item, a replacement cover is probably about $100. If UPS had inspected in California, like they said they were going to do, and contacted me, I could have given the buyer the $100 for a new cover and story would have been over. In addition to all this, since the item was an eBay transaction, and with all of the delay for which I was faulted for, the buyer filed a formal complaint against me with both eBay and PayPal. PayPal decided in the buyer’s favor, refunded him and back charged my account the selling price and shipping fees, a total of $1,053. And of course, my reputation as a seller on eBay has been tarnished.

When I alerted them to the non-delivery, they started an "investigation". Weeks later, I received a call that it was officially lost and they would reimburse me the shipping charge and the cost of the item. I did not have the candy receipt so I found the item online for $9.00 and emailed this to the store. On Feb. 25, they called and said my check was at the store. It was for $16.90. So not only did they not provide the service I paid them for or catch their own mistake, they could not even reimburse me the full (very modest) $9.00. When I asked for a complaint form, they said, "There isn't one."

In the first 2 of these instances, contacting UPS Customer Service did not resolve my problem as the customer service representative had no information or recourse to offer me other than to ask me to contact the shipper. Luckily, these first 2 times, the shipper in question re-shipped my order.

    Unfortunately, my most recent experience with UPS has continued their trend of dereliction of duty. This time, however, after contacting UPS 5 times, I was finally put through to their investigation department. The person on the line however, insisted that I had authorized my package to be released without a signature. I disputed this claim, as I had not signed any release. She then claimed that I had done so "on their website". Again, I disputed this claim, and asked for proof. She had none to offer except to insist that I had done so. Clearly, we had reached an impasse. When I asked her who I could complain to about UPS erroneously claiming that I had signed a release, she said I had no method of recourse.

    Clearly, UPS has no method to ensure that clients' packages are properly delivered. They can just claim that recipients "signed a release" without needing to provide proof that the recipient in fact did so. This creates a moral hazard for a company such as UPS. What protection does a consumer like me have against predation from the likes of UPS? None.

    The package sent on 2/26 from PA to NJ next day air. It should be delivered before 10:30am on 2/27/2013. By the evening, I contacted UPS and they did not find any update. On 2/28/2013 morning, I contacted UPS again. They said I would need to contact the sender to file a claim for investigation. So, I had to contact the sender to send it again. Then at noon time, UPS sent an update stating that the package was found in California, and it will be delivered on 3/1/2013. It is too bad since the financial document has been cancelled and re-issued. This is very bad at UPS' side. How can a PA package to NJ be delivered to CA? Across the country? What is the quality control? So, this is a 3-day delay for a next day delivery.

    UPS delivered my package to the wrong address (the next door neighbor) on 12/12/12. They were contacted by the recipient on 12/13/12 to come pick the package up because it did not belong to him, which they did and subsequently returned to the shipper, who coincidentally closed their business on 12/15. I am out not only my $50.00 but for the merchandise as well. On the first three occasions, in as many days, I called UPS and spoke to the same woman. I had to explain my situation each time like we'd never spoken before. She promised to investigate and get back to me, which she of course did not. I've called her at least 9 times and each time, it's the same ** response - she's still looking into it and will call me back.

    Today, 3 full weeks later, she called and said that my problem is with the shipper. I told her no, my problem is with UPS. The shipper did nothing wrong and had the proper name and address on the package, but UPS not only delivered it to the incorrect address, but they picked it up from the same incorrect address and returned it to the shipper and questioned it no further. The shipper is out of business and I was aware this would be the case come 12/15/12. They kept up their end of the deal and I view UPS as the only responsible party for my loss. UPS is a ridiculously incompetent and negligent company. I will never deal with anyone who uses these morons!

    I call their customer service to ask if it was ok for my boyfriend to go pick it up. We live in the same apartment and his address on his license matches the address on the package. The rep said it would be no problem and asked me for his name. I asked if there should be anything else he should take and she answered no. So he took an hour ride to the location and when he arrived, they wouldn’t give him the package! I called the customer service number and I told the rep the entire story. She saw it in her notes and proceeded to tell me, “I am sorry but there is nothing that can be done” and if there was anything else she could help me with. I just can't believe the lack of customer service; she didn't even offer to call the location to speak with someone regarding the issue. I spoke with her supervisor and he's a bigger moron. If it was a mistake from your customer care’s end, why won't they try to fix it? Why don't they communicate with the locations of changes that will occur? Changes that they approved of.

    This isn't the first incident with them. They have the laziest driver that works my block that claims to have attempted to deliver packages on Fridays when in reality he didn't. I really dislike this company and from now on will call the merchant and request for FedEx delivery service or I won't purchase the product. I never receive my packages on time due to lazy staff and inadequate customer service. Please hire better people that will take their job more seriously and fire these people that sit there miserable, therefore, they have to make us miserable.

    I am writing this letter because I am not getting any help with my matter. I shipped three total boxes. Two of the boxes were shipped on 12/21/2012 from Office Depot store #591 Atlanta, GA to Indianapolis, IN with insurance of $800. In the two boxes was an espresso machine and the pump. Office Depot did not even weigh the larger box; they just guessed and they were approximately 25-30 pounds off. When the boxes arrived, they were all damaged and in pieces. The person who purchased this espresso machine contacted me and said we have damaged boxes, so I have called UPS and filed a claim for the damage. So I then contacted UPS and they told me I had to work through Office Depot. So I did.

    I gave Office Depot all the information they asked for. Two weeks later, I finally went to the store and talked again to the manager Matt. He then proceeded to tell me that UPS said I was at fault because I did not package the espresso machine the right way. When I gave the employees at Office Depot the boxes, they did not seem to think that. Then approximately two weeks later on 01/04/2013, I sent two coffee grinders to Scarborough, Maine. When the buyer received them, the grinders as well were destroyed with pieces everywhere. This time I wrapped the grinders in bubble wrap and also with foam pellets. We packed it everywhere so that nothing could move in the box. I also had this package insured for $500 and again, UPS said I packaged them all wrong.

    Wow, it amazes me that when they shipped them back to Office Depot, they made it back without a problem. I am at my wit's end. I have tried everything I know to get this resolved.

This happened 2 days in a row. The 3rd day, I checked UPS tracking, and a delivery day and time was stated. However, UPS came outside the time stated (early) and to add insult to injury, it indicated that three attempts had been made and that my package was to be returned to sender.

    On 12/26/12, around 8:45 am, I dropped off a coin counter/sorter for shipping. I placed it on the scale and the clerk, Vanessa, quoted me $60 for packaging and shipping. She asked me if the item was fragile and I told her no, but it had to be properly packaged. I declined insurance. The item was in perfect working order when shipped. I told her I wanted to send it sent the cheapest way, meaning I didn't care when it arrived.

    The item arrived to the buyer damaged. He told me over the phone that it was clearly not packed correctly. It was sticking out of the box halfway. I never told her it was okay to negligently pack it or that it did not have to remain inside a packed box until arrival. I am not responsible for negligence nor should I have to insure against a UPS Store's negligent employee. Insurance to me is for lost or stolen goods, not poorly packed items that I pay a UPS to pack.

    A male employee called me three weeks later stating UPS denied the claim because it was poorly packed. They declined to pay me even my shipping fee back much less the value of the Cummins coin sorter which has a market value of $320. To add further insult to injury, he said he was there and heard me tell her not to put any packing material inside. He wasn't even there, anything to get out of doing the right thing and taking responsibility, up to and including lying about customer statements. I will never use that store again. They were less than courteous. They were rude and incompetent. Further, they put everything on me, the customer. I was nowhere near that item when it was packed, shipped or delivered.

    A couple of months ago, my fiance ordered $1,200 worth of computer parts. I tracked the packages and planned to be home the entire day they were meant to arrive (I absolutely did not want them left outside my apartment). The middle of the delivery date, my fiance called me and told me he just got a call from a neighbor who had our stuff. Twelve hundred dollars worth of stuff and they just gave it to someone else without even trying my apartment? I was lucky the neighbor was kind enough to call our number which just happened to be on the boxes.

    We called and complained and, of course, nothing happened. Then today I am expecting $200 worth of stuff that I ordered for my sports team with their money, and I come back from walking the dog to find a note that says they left the stuff with my neighbor. First off, I barely know my neighbor and I don't live in the best area. Second, no one was home! I called to find out why my package was given to someone else and 3 people and an hour later, I am told that it is UPS' policy to leave a person's stuff with a neighbor if the intended party is not home and there is nothing they can do about it. And then they inform me that my neighbors informed the driver that they were leaving and would not be home for another 4 hours.

    What if I needed that stuff right away? I have to sit here and wait for my neighbors to come home in order to have my own stuff? Again, when I complained, nothing is done. UPS does not care about customer satisfaction and, in fact, made me feel like a crazy person because I requested that in the future my stuff not be left with complete strangers!

    I enlisted in the business solutions and services of The UPS Store, who through association conducts business with UPS. I presented two packages to The UPS Store - to be packaged and shipped to my home. As the clerk presented me with options and add-on services, I (thankfully) opted for insurance (in the amount of $2,000) and specifically stated that in the event the packages make it back home, prior to my arrival, please place a signature required for the two packages. Leaving the two packages (filled with family valuables) under the care, custody and control of The UPS Store, I arrived home to find the packages in absence. I immediately contacted UPS and The UPS Store of my concern and was presented with procedures for which I was asked to comply.

    I fully complied, advising them that all I wanted were my packages. I was later advised that a "tracer" would be placed on my packages (by tracking numbers assigned by UPS) and that I would be contacted within seven business days. After waiting, I called both UPS and The UPS Store - both of which provided me with endless excuses and both failed to initiate or provide follow-up to my concerns. After finally being allowed to speak with a supervisor, I was advised that the "tracer" had been completed and that my packages were unable to be located. I was then asked to complete claim documentation - including providing UPS/The UPS Store with receipts (for the items contained). I immediately started collecting these records and submitted to UPS/The UPS Store all items requested.

    Later, upon calling UPS and The UPS Store (on numerous occasions) to identify the status of my packages and where they were located, I was advised by UPS that they were unable to speak (directly) to me, via the case and that I would need to contact The UPS Store directly. After calling The UPS Store (on numerous occasions), I was placed on hold for extended periods of time and advised that the only person there who could discuss the issue with me is the Store Manager. After requesting call backs from the The UPS Store Manager time after time, I received no return calls. I called and asked The UPS Store for the Store Manager's name and was advised that they were not allowed to release "that" information. Later, The UPS Store advised me that I would now need to contact UPS for resolution.

    I escalated my issue to UPS Corporate, who provided near immediate follow-up; however, they advised that The UPS Store operates as a separate entity and that they would not be able to assist me with the package lost/claim process. I was provided a contact name and number for The UPS Store - Corporate office. After speaking with a representative from their corporate office, I was assured by Mercedes (after she reviewed the trace/claim history and verified my mailing address) that she would get my issue resolved within the next ten business days. She then advised that the items could not be located, and as a result, I should expect a check (in the amount of $2,000) to be mailed out to me for the loss. Further, she indicated that since the receipts for items contained exceeded the $2000 insurance that was opted, I would be limited to the loss value - not to exceed the amount of opted insurance.

    No further action occurred on the part of UPS or The UPS Store. After calling numerous times to ascertain the status of my packages/claim, I was then advised that my claim had been approved; however, my claim could not be paid at this time, because UPS is unable to verify the merchant/vendor for which my family and I purchased the items from many years ago. Later, after attempting to reach the merchant/vendor, I learned that the merchant/vendor was no longer in operation. The UPS Store advised that since they could not make contact with the merchant/vendor (who sold me/family) the merchandise many years ago, that my approved claim was at a stand still.

    In an effort to provide awareness to other potential consumers who may opt to utilize similar packaging/transit services - or opt for insurance, I have established social media presence - identifying my experience. Additionally, I've contacted multiple media outlets (writing, online, TV and radio) about my experience. As a result, I've now been asked to make on-camera appearances, via consumer viewer segments about the adverse experience I had with UPS and The UPS Store. I plan to maintain these scheduled engagements across the next three weeks.

I spoke with the dispatcher about this issue. She informed me that there was a new driver and she would be sure that he knew how to get into the community. But instead, he called me from outside the gate and I had to go meet him to pick up my package. For about the next year, I received my packages without any problems. Now this week, I did not receive an important package and after contacting the sender for the tracking number, I found out that the driver marked the record "customer not available."

    This was not true; I was sitting and waiting for the delivery. There was no slip on my door. The truth was, the driver did not know how to get into the gate and did not care enough about the delivery to actually talk to the dispatcher about this. How do these drivers get away with putting random reasons into the record and failing to deliver packages they are paid to deliver? I agree with the other posters here that some regulatory agency needs to check into UPS practices that harm the customer. Am I really expected to monitor their drivers and train each new one?

    I moved from Canada to Dallas, Texas. I sold all of my furniture and gave away a lot of my things. I took two bags with me on the plane but needed to ship most of my things through Purolator which uses UPS in the States. Purolator did their job correctly and the two bags passed customs. It was passed on to UPS and reached Mesquite, Texas. Then both bags were scanned saying they arrived at the Dallas depot. The one smaller bag arrived in at my home a couple days later. The second one showed it arrived at the Dallas depot then was in transit via Dallas, TX depot. From there, I waited a couple days then called UPS to find out where my bag is. They said they would transfer my call to someone who would know more info. I was transferred to a voicemail. I called again, same story. I called a third time. I finally spoke to someone. They said they would start an investigation to find my bag. They started this investigation and then a few days later, they left a voicemail on my phone asking if I received my bag yet. I tried calling back.

    I spoke to the first person who said they lost my bag. I was obviously upset that almost all of my possessions are just lost and I said, "Well, it has to be somewhere. Someone needs to keep looking." He said, "There is no bag here so we can't keep looking for something we don't have." Then he said someone sent me an email stating the investigation is closed and they will file a claim. I said, "I didn't see an email. Was it sent just now?" He said yes. So, I asked to speak to a supervisor because I was getting absolutely nowhere with him. I waited for 20 minutes on hold for the supervisor who told tell me they will give me $100 plus the cost of shipping that one bag, because it was personal items even though the declared value on my receipt was $500.

    To replace every item of clothing in that bag would cost thousands, not to mention there is a picture of my grandfather who died years ago with no negatives and it wasn't saved anywhere. When I asked why there are no repercussions for people who are clearly not doing their jobs properly he said, "We haven't found your bag so we do not know what happened so we can't say for sure someone wasn't doing their job." I said, "If everyone was doing their job, I would have my bag." He offered no help or anything I could do on my end. Just that they've looked everywhere and haven't found it. He said it might still turn up. I said well according to other people, the sticker probably fell off so it would just be a random bag. So how could it be when they find it when they closed the investigation and they aren't looking for it? He didn't have an answer to that either. I asked, "What happens to bag that isn’t claimed?" He said they are given to charities or auctioned off.

    So essentially, they can steal your bag and make a profit out of a paying customer and there is nothing you can do about it. After I got off the phone with him, I looked over the info they quoted me and compared everything and saw that one of the numbers they left on my voicemail was for the bag I received. I called back and gave this other person the new # and he opened a second investigation. Now, I'm waiting again for an investigation which will likely get me nowhere. Does anyone know of any next step I can take? I feel so helpless.

    On Tuesday, December 18, I visited the UPS Store at The Rim in San Antonio to ship out several frames, accompanied by other items. Specific frames were supposed to be delivered to three different individuals. The UPS representative was made aware of this. The names were also on the frames and billboards, and matched those of the intended recipients. Upon delivery, recipients received the wrong frames and one did not receive the additional item at all. After calling the store to determine how the problem could be rectified, I was told that the only thing they could do was have us bring all the items back in for re-delivery at our expense. It is frustrating and disappointing that UPS, previously known as a reputable and dependable organization, handled this situation so poorly. We will avoid using any UPS store in the future.

    UPS made a mistake during their sorting process and as a result, delayed the delivery of medical supplies for my chemotherapy treatment for cancer (package sat at their sorting facility for 3 days). This treatment was supposed to save my hair and without this treatment, I will lose my hair. I called UPS and spoke with several different people including a supervisor. None of whom were apologetic or offered any solutions or mitigation options. Their response has been "There is nothing we can do" despite the fact that the package is in transit within just a few hours drive from my home (same state shipment). I told them I need the package by tomorrow early morning at the latest and they told me they can't do that. No explanation why. They told me they cannot expedite it and cannot guarantee that it will arrive even by tomorrow morning. No willingness to help or fix a life changing mistake they made.

    I placed an order with 2 companies that use UPS. The packages were delivered on the right day, just to the wrong apartment & building. When I called UPS to advise, I was basically called a liar. I was told the package was on the porch. I told the rep that I'd been home all day & no one knocked nor were there any packages on my porch. The rep referred me back to the company I ordered from, who then gave me a refund due to the item I ordered being sold out. Ugh. I'm so upset. I can't believe UPS is off the hook like that. Just terrible. I still haven't received the packages.

    I just experienced a very rude UPS employee at my door. Right when I opened the door, the employee then rolled his eyes. I asked, "Is there a problem?" since that's not the reaction that I was expecting. He said, "I thought you weren't home and I'm new, so..." I said, "Okay, did I need to sign something?" He said, "Yeah, but if you didn't answer the door, I could have left it here." I then said, "Well, you can leave the package." He huffed and had me sign. He was extremely rude.

    I do not recommend using UPS if you are delivering to a Manhattan location. They notify you with a large time window, during which they will come, and only deliver on weekdays during hours when most people are at work. I had a package delivered to me three days in a row, during the same time period each day. Since I was at work at that time, no one was home to let the deliveryman in. It would have been fine if they had attempted to vary the delivery hours each day. After having failed to deliver my package at same time slot twice in a row, I would think they would at least try a different time the third day. But they did not, which I consider poor customer service. It would be a different case if the time slots were more precise, but I cannot take off work for the three and a half hour time slot they notify you with to make sure that I am home to let them in. Again, this review is Manhattan specific. I do not recommend using UPS in a Manhattan location. However, I cannot comment on their service in other locations.

    My company ships over 1,000 packages per month. UPS by far has the highest damage rate on packages. On top of that, they do not pay claims as they always state items are not properly wrapped (what is insurance for?). I use USPS, FedEx, and other freight companies and do not have the same problems. It is time to drop UPS. They are quite proud on how few of claims they pay out and how their system is able to bill and collect as many extra charges as possible.

I bought $700 worth of things on Amazon and had the items sent to her in SC. She then put everything in one box and sent it to me. This was the 14 of November. It is now the 8th of December and still I have not received the box. I have been told I needed to send the receipts, so I did. I was told I needed to send the contents list, so I did.

    And now, the UPS office in Saudi is telling me they need me to fill out a commercial license form to receive the box and I refused as the things are for me alone and I am not selling anything. Then the UPS office told me it cannot clear customs even though there is nothing in the box that's not allowed. So they will try to bring it to me another way. It has been 9 days since that call and still nothing. I paid $670 to UPS to get the box and today when I called them to ask what is going on, I was told it appears to be lost.

    I shipped a trophy that was brand new from Orlando to Colorado and then back again. On its return trip, it was completely destroyed in transit. I have sent numerous letters and tried to work out a resolution with UPS. They simply ignore and stonewall you endlessly as the little guy out there and it is an endless runaround. They took the trophy back and then said they won't pay anything. The trophy was about $165 and shipping was $23.55. I want a refund for the entire $188.55 and a return of my broken trophy. This has been going on with them since July. They have no interest in trying to address it amicably based on their actions so far or inaction should I say.

    I filed a complaint with BBB and Federal Trade Commission. BBB let them off way easy. UPS basically said they won't pay or deal with the situation and BBB accepted that response and closed the case. They were useless. Unless you take them to small claims or some other legal action, you are fighting an uphill battle. It's a brand new trophy they destroyed and they are fighting me every inch of the way as if they were not responsible. Their ploy is to pass it on to the store you sent it from which is always a little mom/pop operation for the most part, and although they do delivery and destroy the items, they act like they are not liable. It is really absurd. This is not the first the first time they have destroyed items but it will be the last of mine. I still encourage complaints with all possible agencies. Out of principle, you have to do something to, at least, warn your fellow consumer.

    I chose to sign up for My Choice because I order a lot from HSN and other sites. I am supposed to be notified when something is about to be delivered. I went to the UPS site and clicked on that I will pick my items up. I was waiting for a $1,200 watch that was shipped and asked if it was delivered to UPS. They said no. Well it did come in. The driver left it at my door and was subsequently stolen. Shop NBC sent me out a replacement watch and a second watch for my brother for Christmas. They left an info notice on my door without writing down who sent it. I also, at the same time, was receiving emails from them that mail had arrived and I chose to pick it up. I came home from work and found a final notice on my door. I decided to find out why because I picked up what was emailed to me from UPS.

    I spoke to customer service and I was told that it was already shipped back. Management did find one of my watches before they went back, but my brother's gift was lost. If you have My Choice, you should not receive info notices. A few weeks later, I found another info notice on my door. I called customer service again and informed them that I have My Choice and never received an email from them. I told them I will pick it up tomorrow. Would you believe that both customer service and her supervisor argued with me and stated I could not pick it up in person! I think they fail to realize that I paid for these items and paid for shipping. I finally got in touch with a UPS local manager and it was delivered to my door an hour later.

    The supervisor in customer service refused to give me her name. If the bad service continues, I will have to contact the CEO. The shipper charged me for the items and I have to wait for a billing cycle to be reimbursed for the lost watch. UPS employees need more training as they are not on the same page with procedures. HSN, QVC and Shop NBC all ship with UPS. What should be a simple service is double the work for the receiver. One good thing is that the local manager of UPS gave me his personal cell phone number in case of another problem. He knows that I am not shy and will send a letter (FedEx) to corporate.

The people at UPS say your package has to withstand a 3-foot drop. Does everyone who ship UPS know this? What package that weighs 130 lbs. will take a 3-foot drop?

    UPS sucks. I made several purchases online for my family and have received several large checks from my job. The only time I have issues receiving anything is when it's sent through UPS. The first time I had an issue, I was waiting on a check for over $2,000. I was tracking this package online and it said they delivered my check, but I was at home and no one had come to my door. I called UPS and the agent told me the driver put in the notes and left it in my balcony. So, I checked my balcony and nothing! I checked the surrounding areas to see if it blew off and nothing.

    I finally got a call from a so-called supervisor saying the driver has it with him and was going to come back, because no one answered the door even though I had been home all day. But my question is why did the driver put in the notes he delivered it when he didn't? And why did he lie and say he put it on my balcony? I have had several issues with this driver and made several complaints, but I just get callbacks from supervisors that tell me I'm wrong and things could have been worse.

    I ordered a camera lens from a company in Chicago on Monday for Tuesday morning delivery by noon by UPS priority overnight. I needed the lens by 10:00 am on Wednesday for an important photo shoot at a Museum in Dubuque, Iowa. The lens did not arrive on Tuesday so I tracked the package and called UPS. I spoke with a CS Agent named Zack and explained my situation. According to Zack, the package had been missorted and sent to another location due to a mix-up with the zip code. I told Zack I needed the lens early the next morning and would gladly pick it up at the sorting warehouse the next morning. He said he would watch the package and as soon as it arrived at the sorting house, he would contact me.

    That never happened so I called UPS the next day at 7:00 am when they opened and explained my situation. They said the package was already out for delivery and there was nothing they could do. I am now sweating this very important photo shoot so I contacted the museum and told them I was running late. I called UPS back and again explained my urgent situation. I asked them to contact the driver so I could come and pick up the package myself. UPS said there was nothing they could because they do not provide phones for the drivers and it is a safety hazard to give driver locations to customers. They did reassure me the package was scheduled for delivery by 10:30 am. That was too late as it takes me a half hour to drive to the museum in Dubuque. I begged them to help me and they again said there was nothing they could do.

    The package ended up coming at 11:50 am which was too late for the photo shoot. The museum had set aside the time earlier and was not able to let me proceed with the project so I refused the shipment and sent the lens back to Chicago. If you absolutely positively have to get it there overnight, do yourself a favor and do not use UPS! They will let you down just like they did to me.

Well as I have a job, I was at the said job at 12:16PM and thus unable to be here to sign for package. I contacted UPS and was told I could drive to the distribution center or pay to have the delivery rescheduled. I (not very patient admittedly) explained that since I didn't have time to be at home to sign for package, I also didn't have time to drive to the distribution center which was over an hour away (and reading other posts, I'm not sure it would even be there or be able to be located if I did make it there).

    They asked if I could have it delivered to a neighbor. No, guess why? Because they have jobs too. They offered to let me pay to have the delivery rescheduled. Hmm. The delivery initially was touted as free. A mighty handy way to boost revenue or hold possessions for ransom. I'm going with the latter. OK, so I decided to wait another day. Delivery attempt #2 (today), quelle surprise! 12:43PM, so guess what UPS? I'm never home between 12 and 1 unless I have meningitis or am on vacation. Maybe I'd respect them more if they said, "Look, we're not giving you your package unless you pony up the bucks."

    They are running a scam! I pre-ordered an iPad mini and received notification that it would be delivered today. But yesterday, I decided to track the package. The status said on Wednesday (11/7/12), "The receiver requested a hold for a future delivery date. UPS will attempt delivery on date requested." The tracking status was updated at 4:45 pm when my husband was sitting right at home and no one came to our door. We never requested to hold the package for future delivery. I immediately called UPS customer service asking who decided to have the package held because we never did. He said there wasn't any information as to who requested it. We didn't even get a notification on our door. The customer service representative said the package was scheduled to go out on Thursday, 11/8/12 (the same day I called). But it didn't go out for delivery, and he didn't know why. I requested to just pick it up at the Landover UPS on Friday. He said, "I can come in anytime between 8am to 7pm to pick it up."

    Well today, I checked the tracking. It was confirmed that the iPad was at their Landover UPS location, and it was signed by someone named "Mark" at 8:09am. I went there around 4:30pm, and guess what? They couldn't find it! They said any high valued items like Apple products are normally locked up in a security cage. They had three places where the package could only be, and it was nowhere to be found. They pretended to keep looking for it, and I just sat there and waited for over an hour. I demanded for a manager several times, and it seemed like she was avoiding me. I asked them to contact "Mark," and he could probably tell them where he put it. All they could tell me was he was at home and got off work at 3:30pm. I asked for the counter customer service representative's name, and he asked me, "What do you need that for?" I told him I was filing a complaint. He said he goes by Chris, but just minutes later someone called him Charles.

    Then I asked for the manager's name, and everyone didn't know her last name. How do 4 employees don't know their manager's last name? Charles, or whatever his name is, said the manager was involved and she was looking for my package. But, of course, she couldn't come out to speak to me. No one bothered to let me know what the status was while I was sitting there for over an hour. I was so frustrated, and I called my husband to let him know what was going on. He immediately came and demanded to speak to the manager "Syreeta". She had an attitude. She asked me for my last name and address. I instantly got angry and told her I was sitting here for over an hour and, "You didn't have that information already? I was told you were searching for my package and you weren't!" So, they were going to let me just sit here all day and pretend as if they were helping me and they weren't doing anything. The whole time she didn't acknowledge the package was missing. She was afraid to face the truth that her employees stole my package and she didn't know how to tell me.

    Finally with my husband there, she looked in the warehouse for no more than 10 minutes. She began giving excuses by saying they don't have "control logs" to track where that package should have been internally. She wasn't sure if it was there or across the street. They don't have a way to track it. Of course, I asked why would it be across the street. She said that the package originally came from there. But, why would someone sign for it at this UPS if it was across the street? She was pretty much trying to blow us off and get us out of there. She said high-priced items like Apple products should be locked up in the security cage but it wasn't and she didn't know where it was. She just stood there with no resolution. She just shrugged her shoulders and pretty much told us that too bad they didn't have it. I asked her "What do we do next?" She said, "We had to contact Apple customer service or UPS customer service." We even waited until 8pm to go the UPS across the street when they have their will call and they were wondering why she referred us to them and why they would have our package.

    All in all, the information that was conveyed to us by Syreeta was not consistent. She and her employees weren't genuinely concerned. No one seemed to care. They didn't mind me just sitting in the waiting area for over an hour while they "looked" for my package. They kept saying they couldn't find it but didn't offer any solution. Since there isn't any "control logs," this is the perfect way for employees to steal items. All the employees knew I had an iPad and I didn't even tell them what was in my package. The package was signed by "Mark," but no one seems to know where he put it and couldn't give me any explanation. Who's not doing their job? My package should have been in the "security cage," but no one knows why it wasn't. I filed a complaint and investigation with Apple and UPS. These employees are doing their early Christmas shopping at the customers' expense!

The package arrived about a week late (it went to New Jersey in the hurricane). To make a long story short, the unit is sealed from the factory but the inside had a lot of water inside it, most likely moisture accumulation. I filed a claim 1 hour after the unit was delivered. UPS picked it up and said they denied my claim due to faulty packaging. I call it **. I sent the electronics in the exact packaging the electronics came in when purchased new. It's amazing how UPS can fabricate any excuse for not paying a claim. This "insurance" they sell is a complete scam and charges should be brought against them!
