    I had purchased a playset from Gorilla, they used UPS to deliver it. The package arrived at the terminal near my Town in Massachusetts Monday last week, and was supposed to arrive here on Tuesday of last week as well. However, it wasn't delivered. That was 6 days ago and is still not delivered. On Tuesday last week, this was scheduled to get here, we were told the package was loaded in the truck and was on the road (at least this was assured to me by the UPS managers on the terminal). We waited but it wasn't delivered. Then we were told the truck never left the facility.

    On Wednesday, we were told this was loaded and on the road (at least that is what we were told). We waited, the package was not delivered. We were told it was never dispatched at the end. On Thursday, we were told the package was on the road and was to be delivered, we waited, but was never delivered. It appears it wasn't dispatched. On Friday, they said was not going to be delivered because there were no drivers.

    On Monday, they assured us it was to be delivered as a priority. We waited and waited. We called, it was on the road, it was in the town next door, but at the end of the day, it was not delivered. The reason they said was "late arrival"... Whatever that means, because we've been waiting home... Since Tuesday last week, I had been home waiting for this to arrive. Every single day, including that Friday where they said it wasn't going to be delivered due to not having drivers. When they informed us, it was too late, I had already stayed home, and has been a waste of time.

    I have called UPS, the managers at the terminal and UPS customer service, but it doesn't really matter. I am just one more tiny customer so they haven't done anything to help. Some even have said that the issue had been escalated (to whom?) but has made no difference. It appears this item is so large, that the drivers don't want to deal with this and so prefer not having it delivered. It has never been unloaded... We've been at the facility, and this has always been in the truck. But for UPS has decided not to deliver it (as it seems in this case). Every single person I've spoken to have just said the typical words, "We understand and apologize for the inconvenience, we are doing everything we can (not sure what, they should just do their job, not everything they can..)" but are just saying this and doing nothing.

    The truth is, this package has reached the terminal near our town (we've seen it), it has left the facility but has never even reached my town. We have been always waiting here to receive it. Still on day 6 of waiting been on phone with UPS, has not gotten here. I had even had a UPS person say that I could look for my own freight company to pick it up or if I didn't want it anymore it would be easier... I want this item, but at this point, I don't know what to do. It hasn't been resolved yet, but likely UPS will not deliver it. Seems I will have to as the UPS person suggests, return this and ask for refund. We'll have to purchase the playset from a local buyer which cost almost the double. No one to absorb that amount but us so may not do it. Surely, UPS will not assume any responsibility of this as has done so far, and will not provide any further assistance.

    Accurately my drum set arrived in two boxes shipped from Musician's Friend. I called the shipper as the second box was damaged and open hole. The driver for UPS had SHOVED the two heavy boxes in front of my only door out to the small porch and left. I had nothing to sign. Upon opening over a 100 lbs of drum and hardware I discovered the bent drum hoop and loose screws falling out of the box. Some missing and the unit attached to the drum now loose having been yanked out by whatever caused the hole which appeared to be a fork lift. I am compensated only $25 from the shipper and UPS wanted $13.50 to return what they damaged. I called the shipper was assured a new label would come with the driver to be a free return. I never saw the driver pick up the box on the small front porch and then both shipper and UPS told me it was stolen.

    I have a 218' driveway off a road where everyone travels over the speed limit of 55mph. There are no curbs. No way for anyone to just cruise by and see the drum up on a porch behind a railing with my car parked in front of the porch. They would have had to carry it another 50' to their vehicle. I have a watch dog and we were home. No one knocked. I have a heavy iron knocker. Now I find that all shippers only have a $100 liability and most home owners have deductibles of at least $1000 on items stolen.

    My shipper will not even check the two warehouses that move the boxes through to final destination. They want me to buy a whole new set to get the one piece. I am so disappointed also in Musician's Friend for promising me that UPS would have a label created on the spot for the return. I believe companies are using UPS because they know they cannot repair, they cannot replace damaged parts of sets, and they use call centers to stop customer complaints and to create new orders.

    They are truly thieves. I highly recommend that you stay away from them. When shipping items, they sell you an expensive "insurance" claiming that you can recover the cost of the item and shipping cost if the item is delivered broken or gets lost. Guess what? The item that we shipped was delivered shattered, literally in pieces, but after staying on hold for hours to get through to a representative, they refused to refund me a penny -- despite having paid a considerable sums for shipping and for insurance.

    The UPS drivers never even bother trying to deliver the packages anymore. I've been waiting all day so I wouldn't miss them and just saw an update saying that they made an attempt to deliver it 4 minutes ago and it was unsuccessful. I've been 8 ft from my front door the entire time and there's not even a notice or anything. Now I'll have to walk to a "package center" to pick it up myself during the summer in Arizona (115+ degrees). Not the first time this has happened. To top it off there's not even an email on their website to complain to the company directly, only one for "lost/damaged packages".

    The UPS driver, ran up, dropped it off and ran without letting me sign for it; he totally blew me off. If he had waited 10 seconds to get to my door, I would of refuse the package because it was not ours. Now, a day later this package has been sitting out in the rain, having not been picked up that same day as promised by the customer service agent. I tried five phone numbers and could not get a UPS representative so I gave up. The sixth customer service phone/person wanted to give me a location to drop the box off. I refused, really put off that they expected me to correct their mistake and do their job. Being a very busy business person, I really found this unethical. I refused to take responsibility for this incident/package. The box is still sitting outside our door where it was abandoned. The UPS tracking number is not ours.

    I was given a tracking number and a delivery date. When I called because I had not received my package, I was initially told that the package would be delivered by 7PM. Then, I was told that the package had not left the terminal in my city. Then, I was told that the package was in New Jersey. I live in South Carolina. He told me to keep checking the tracking number. He said he could not tell me when my package would arrive. I need my package because it is a part of a marketing campaign that we are involved in on Saturday.

    What a disgusting operation! Package delivered last night was set inside my open garage. Fine but why do you always fail to ring the doorbell to at least alert us to look at our front doors? Why are the packages always filthy? It is not that way with FedEx and the USPS. Package delivered last night had large gaping holes at 4 locations and it turns out a critical part of the assembly is missing. Now am I losing hours trying to hold them accountable for the damage. They make customer service a hassle. For the 35+ years they have been mucking up the biggest percentage of my deliveries it has been impossible to call the local terminal. Lack of contact is a tactic they use, changing the local terminal numbers every couple of months.

    They lost my package from Microsoft (which is very important to me) and didn't even inform me of it for 2 weeks. The way I found out is that I contacted Microsoft support and they told me I'm supposed to have my package for around 2 weeks and after a bit of searching they found out that it got lost, horrible experience.

    Shipped with UPS most of the existence of our shop. Newest protocol. You ship it with them they only pay you $100 on what they damage or lose. Will no longer guarantee your products unless you pay extra in which online stores cannot collect for to pay you back anything over $100. Person orders online from your store. You ship it according to their rates you are in the hole. Minimum of an extra $2.00 a box. So that rate they quote you is incorrect. The basically take advantage of the shipper.

    I ordered 2 air conditioners and paid extra to have them shipped 2 day express. On Thursday, UPS came while I was at work. On Friday, UPS came while I was at work. Then I had to sweat all weekend, because UPS does not deliver on weekends. No. Why would they do that? Just continue coming on weekdays during business hours and being surprised to find me out. On Monday, I left my delivery ticket on my door with a signature, asking the driver to leave my packages. Instead, he left a "final delivery attempt" ticket. Now, 5 days after I was supposed to have my air conditioners, I have to go pick them up myself... On a weekday, during business hours! Fix your policy, UPS.

Next day air fees, horrible customer service, and erroneous tracking entries are all acceptable practices apparently.

I bought a roll of clear packaging tape, marked up 800% to 8$, and prepared my own packages. When I asked the same agent if the packages looked good and would arrive at their destinations, he replied, "Hopefully," in what I thought was a threatening tone.

    I have packages delivered to my home and my business several times a week. I have been having a problem with UPS drivers, in particular, for at least 5 years. She doesn't want to get out of her truck, so lies to UPS and says I live in a gated community (I don't) or that there was "ice" on my sidewalk (there wasn't, the walk across the lawn was shoveled and salted and we don't have "sidewalks" in our neighborhood in front of or between houses) or, the kicker, that "there were too many branches and leaves over the walkway so I couldn't deliver the package" then she sits in her comfy truck and doesn't bother to exit the truck to deliver the package.

    On a several occasions, if I have been home working, she has come TO THE DOOR to yell at me about "the branches" (I live on a wooded acre and there are trees here, the walkway is landscaped enough so that a 7 ft tall person could walk through it). She also THREATENED ME with "if you don't cut them branches, I won't deliver nuthin." Seriously! I am not going to change my landscaping so that a lazy UPS driver doesn't have to be exposed to trees 4-5 feet above her lazy head!

    Yesterday, she lied and refused to deliver a package, telling UPS and the supplier we lived in a gated community and she had no code! We don't live in a gated community! She just didn't want to get out of her truck and walk the 50 feet or so to our door. (Maybe she has a tree phobia. In any case, if she refuses to do her job, she needs to do something else for a living!) Yes, we have large front lawns. She has to walk down a driveway and across a landscaped walk and up 5 stairs OR she could come down the driveway and leave the package at the front door. She is too LAZY to do either.

    I called UPS and spoke to someone whom I couldn't understand (she spoke with a rapid fire accent and I could barely understand her and she got upset when I asked her to repeat herself) and she refused to resolve the issue, saying she had no access to "old" delivery information (from the day before) and as the supplier already sent another package, and gave me a different tracking number, I would need the "old" tracking number to see what happened to the other package. The "old" tracking number disappeared from the sender's website after they sent a new package at nearly midnight last night.

    I also have a UPS account, but the "customer service person" refused to access the data. And, after more than 40 minutes on the phone, I hung up. I'm sick of LAZY drivers, "customer service personnel" who refuse to take complaints on drivers and who are useless to help those of us who PAY for UPS's service. I would insist my suppliers use only Fed Ex, but that isn't always an option.

    UPS needs to get their company together. THIS is what happens when a company has a near monopoly on a service. I still don't know where my "new" package is. Evidently, UPS dropped it off at my local post office early this morning. There is still the ORIGINAL package, which the lazy driver refused to deliver yesterday, which I cannot get any data on. Enough, UPS. Hire competent people. If they don't want to do their job, fire them.

    This is an update to my previous complaint about a lost shipment. Because the label came off of the shipment, lost and found opened the package to locate identifying information. They misprinted the address they found inside so the package was delivered to the wrong address ON THE EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE. The package remained at that wrong address for over two weeks until lost and found eventually located it after corporate customer service got involved. The recipient called the UPS facility in the city where the package had been delivered and arranged to pick it up at the UPS facility. The contents of the shipment were intact and the shipping charges were reimbursed to the sender. It is worth noting that this triangle of errors began with a label that had been applied poorly at the counter by the UPS agent. Apply your own labels to be certain they are secure.

    I shipped my relative's luggage back to him on May 30, 2017 through the UPS Customer Care facility in Cheektowaga, NY with an expected delivery date of June 2. On May 31, no updates had been made to the tracking progress. I stopped back there after work and asked if the tan wheeled luggage had been shipped out, and they assured me that their dock is emptied every night (they didn't say emptied where). The next day there was still no tracking update on my shipment so I went to the hub in Buffalo, NY where the shipment would have been taken. I was told I had to wait until it was late for delivery before they could do anything. Knowing that my shipment hadn't even left Buffalo, it would have been a lot easier to locate it at that time than waiting three more days to begin a cross-country search, but the agents apparently won't veer from the process flow chart.

    The next day, I took a picture of the luggage to each facility guessing that it was highly unlikely they had multiple tan wheeled luggage shipments each day. It had no effect. When I dropped the photo off and told them this is the item that has not yet left their hands according to the tracking information, the agent replied, "Good luck." The luggage never arrived at its destination, and I am now convinced it was pilfered. I filed a complaint with the BBB who has received thousands of negative reviews on UPS yet continues to give them an A+ rating.

    I will never use UPS again. They seem to have no control over the shipments or their employees. They apparently did not look into on-site video cameras to see who touched my shipment last. They have no effective loss prevention process to protect consumers that I can tell. I gave them warning as soon as I saw my shipment wasn't moving hoping to avoid this most distressing experience.

    I have been very dissatisfied with UPS for some time now. In January 2015 they lost three shipments of mine and would not pay for them citing that they were not packaged properly. We had shipped 100's of these packages with them prior to this event and after before switching to FedEx. These are big packages that I paid extra handling charges on. I ask them if it was the packaging then why could they not return the defective packaging to me. I was told it could not be located. In the long and short of it I battled with them for six month and finally gave up.

    Now I have not shipped with them since switching to FedEx but my incoming shipments keep getting delayed by days and it is costing me sales due to not having customers product here when promised. At this point I feel that UPS does not care about taking care of its customers in any way shape or form. I just lost a sale and am eating the 3 day shipping upcharge on the order due to another mysterious UPS delay so they do not have to refund the extra shipping charges. So I will be instructing my vendors that I will no longer be accepting deliveries from UPS.

And later on, the UPS customer service stated "sorry for misunderstanding" when the local UPS store representative called them to confront. Then came another excuses "signature was required". No was not. "Under discretion of the driver if location seems unsafe." Well it is a private house in upscale neighborhood and in the gated community. I have UPS delivered more valuable items dropped at the door no questions asked.

    I can continue with more description of other statements that was exchanged the point is: The driver has never scanned the InfoNote so it can be tracked.

    Like many others that I'm sure this has happened to, I'm extremely disappointed, because this is becoming more problematic than I would like it to be. You wait home all day just so you don't miss your package, estimate is 8pm, so you literally stay home All day. And then come to find out "a first attempt was made". That's funny because I never heard the bell ring AND on top of that, I went downstairs to get the "notification" that they supposedly left, NOTHING! So, you're going to tell me you "attempted" a delivery, yet no proof. When I call customer service, they ask if I would like to pick it up at a location nowhere near my home, umm no!

I have been on the phone with them a few times and got promises that never came true. Anything In Stained Glass did resend me another, which they had to send via UPS because of a contract obligation. I finally received my package on 5-26/2017. This was the package resent by Anything In Stained Glass. I refuse to ever use UPS because of their poor customer service and total lack of accountability.

    Anyone looking for a HUGE box of new Converse shoes? Well, they were delivered to my house in La Jolla, my husband's name as sender and recipient, but we have nothing to do with these shoes. Moreover we don't want them. Tried to call UPS to ask them to come pick it up and got endless transfers. I'm not lifting this heavy box, nor spending any more time on hold. It'll sit outside until I throw it in the garbage.

    I just had a package delivered to me by them yesterday. My experience was so bad that I wrote to Amazon and recommended they stop using UPS for their shipping. I received a package with no shipping box. The label was just slapped onto the product box. The box looked like the driver had gotten out of his truck, put it on the ground and kicked it all the way to my door. I would never recommend using UPS to anyone!

    I ordered an item from eBay and it was shipped via UPS (Unbelievably Poor Service). The notification showed up as delivered, but when I went to get it from my front door it wasn't there! I contacted UPS and was told a CSR rep would get back to me. They tried, but didn't bother to leave a message. I had to cherry pick through missed calls to get their number and return their call. I got stuck with an airheaded individual who asked me to go and get the package they were supposed to deliver! I told them, "No way", and then was told that it might be tomorrow before they got around to fixing their mistake. I have already complained numerous times to UPS about the poor quality of service they offer me (and offered me in the past), and evidently they didn't bother to write anything down.

    I have had the most horrifying experience with UPS. I ordered a phone from T-Mobile who was intended for my sister-in-law. She and my niece just got to this country and have no means of communication. She is now stationed in Rhode Island, which is where I told T-Mobile the phone should be sent to. They assured me her name did not have to be in the delivery and that they would overnight the phone to her. Once the delivery driver gets to my sister-in-law he proceeds to ID her and then did not hand the phone to her.

    When I called the UPS 1800 number that was provided to me the proceeded to tell me all sort of conflicting things: first they told me that the address was wrong (which is a lie, I knew the package got to my sister-in-law, it was just never given to her). I re-confirmed the address and told them this needed to be delivered the same day because the my sister-in-law had no way of communicating with me other than leaving her house and going to her mom's to call me, which having a daughter who is sick, was a huge inconvenience for her. They assured me that now they had added her name on the delivery and would attempt delivery that same night if possible but in the event they couldn't re-deliver they would ship it first thing next morning (bear in mind next morning happened to be a Saturday, however T-Mobile had placed an overnight shipment, so waiting another day was extremely inconvenient).

    Of course the delivery did not happen the same night. When I would go on the UPS website to check on the tracking status it said that the estimated delivery was Monday! Can you imagine the outrage??? A package that was paid for to be delivered on Friday would now be delivered on Monday because of the incompetence of someone. I called several times to the 1800 number, each time my hold was never less than 10 minutes, one time it went up to 25 minutes and my call got disconnected. I was lied to, not once, but three times (you see when I called this morning they assured me the package would be delivered today). The number I called is 800-742-5877.

    Your customer service is the worst. You are inconveniencing my family in ways I cannot even explain. Because of your lies I am now aggravated, and cannot get in touch with my sister in law whose daughter is sick, oh and neither of them speak English by the way, so they are counting on me to help them get around hospitals and speak to doctors. When I finally spoke to a supervisor she said "I'm going to be really honest with you, your package is in a trailer so it will only be delivered on Monday". So each time someone promised me the package would be delivered on Saturday they were always lying. Also, I gave them a star because the system will not allow me to give zero.

    The United Parcel Service (UPS) - Known for their on time superior performance has had a massive lapse in judgment and management in the Northeast that is impacting all heavy freight which borders on Fraud and Deceitful business practices and should be reported to the Attorney General if it is not corrected immediately. We can call them outright Liars on multiple fronts including in their e-commerce portraying locations of packages that are not real or accurate.

    We ordered a custom Made Frieze for a construction project with tight deadlines and liquidated damages. This product was coming form Florida. Upon completion it was shipped from West Palm Beach on late afternoon the 25th and arrived in Boston at the UPS Stoneham yard on the 28th of June. After four days of watching this on the online tracker and never being forwarded to our commercial offices I had called and enquired and was promised it would be shipped on Monday The 5th of June. Still no arrival and I called again and was told it would arrive on the 7th of June. Once again it never arrived. At this time the 800 call in number told me there are "system issues" in Stoneham and that they could not even reach out to the Stoneham office and have been told not to.

    I again proceeded to call Stoneham direct again. This time I was told, they are significantly understaffed and didn't even know if the product was even in the warehouse and they then promptly update the online tracker to say awaiting customer schedule delivery, which is a lie and fraud. They explained that they would search for the package and call me in the morning. The next day we received no calls and now the Stoneham direct calls all went to voice mail. On all of these occasions we offered to pick this package up with our own personnel and trucks. This was declined.

    It is now June 9th, we still have not received any calls despite being promised. I finally again called the Stoneham line direct and only could get voice mail on all lines. I called the 800 help line again and the shipper called their account executive in Florida, all promised calls back by 12:00 Noon. Again no call backs. I then proceeded to call every line and then pounded the zero line when miraculously I manipulated the phone to get me an inside line and very nice gentleman answered who was sent in from out of town to help with the effort of restoring service in Stoneham. He told me there were trailers in the yard that have been sitting since January still not unloaded nor the manifest checked. He told me it was a systemic mess and that they could never tell us when the product would be shipped or when I could expect it. He was very candid that the office has had a massive breakdown and it was understaffed and undermanned.

    Now this is not a third world nation and sits within 5 miles of Boston. It is a critical hub to the Northeast and the City of Boston. UPS is world renowned for its strategic management and shipping capabilities. But here in Stoneham a distribution center for a world class city and region has had a systemic problem that has prevented the delivery of thousands of packages, loss of property which has rippled and significantly impacted negatively through the businesses that depend on their service. This systemic issues has been going on since at least January 2017.

    There has been a major managerial collapse at every level through the Regional Manager and Regional Vice President who stood by and witnessed this as it was in decline yet did nothing to prevent it. UPS is trying to hiding behind this as scheduling issues with the customer and is defrauding us. These are also not weather delays; The weather has been fair in Boston with no snow or catastrophic events to stop delivery. It is late May early June.

So I run outside and my box is sitting on my porch, not even sealed, nobody ever knocked on my door.

They informed me THEY forgot my headboard at the warehouse and that's why it's delayed. But wait, here's the best part... I spent 1 and 1/2 hours on the phone with them to get a manager. The manager then told me that she guaranteed the item would be delivered the following day. I told her that's great but I needed more confirmation because I was supposed to be going out of town on business and would postpone my trip as long as I was guaranteed my item would be delivered the following day. Sure enough, I received a call that evening saying to "rest assured," the item would be delivered the following day.

    Well, as you might guess, today is that following day and NO headboard. Spent another 2 hours on hold to talk to a manager who sounded scared to death to tell me that the item was again delayed. Called Overstock.com, spent another hour plus on the phone with them. (They suck also) After all that? Just got told what I already knew. So, moral of the story is, no one cares, no UPS, not Overstock.com. Apparently, the only person who cares is me (cue small violin). Other moral of the story? I'm done with these awful companies.

    I shipped a vintage 1970 Schwinn Orange Krate bicycle using this franchise store ( #6731 Goshen Ave, Visalia, CA). I paid $22 extra for "professional" packaging, which was to include 2" of padding around the inside of the box, as well as the loose pieces to be secured together to prevent movement. My customer received the item, the box had been dropped several times, there was little to no padding placed around the inside of the box as promised by "Sammy" in the store, as well as the parts were not secured together whatsoever.

    The cost to "insure" the shipment would have been almost triple what the shipping cost of $179 was. "Sammy" assured us that it would be OK because he does this for a living and was the Go-To guy for packing and shipping the "heavy and weird" items, so insurance wasn't necessary, because he was a pro. "You have nothing to worry about" were his exact words! The fender of the bike was completely destroyed, as well as the paint on the frame has been scraped down to bare metal because the parts were all rubbing together loosely during transport.

    I filed a claim, only to find out THREE WEEKS LATER that it was denied because the owner, Oni, had submitted the claim using the felonious version of the events as told by her poorly trained employee, Sammy. I filed another complaint with the UPS Corporate division that oversees these franchises and am waiting for a response. DO NOT SHIP FROM HERE UNLESS YOU PACKAGE IT YOURSELF!!

    I would strongly urge businesses not to use UPS as their courier option. It gives a bad impression of the company if goods arrive late with no proper notification or care. A customer is unlikely to buy from that business again and it was the courier's fault. UPS in my country Ireland do not cater to rural customers. They do not have a daily delivery service. A package I ordered recently went all over Ireland before eventually reaching me. No delivery notification. Other courier companies text or phone directly. I had a very difficult time getting in touch with customer care - which is a total misnomer. When I finally did they informed me that they had handed the parcel off to a local courier in my area and they had no further information of where my parcel was.

    I contacted the company I had ordered from and they sent me out a re-order free of charge but guess what? Even though I had warned them not to use UPS they did. The original package did arrive but now I am waiting for the other one which according to tracking information has also been sent all over Ireland. They really do not care about their customers and make it extremely difficult to lodge a complaint. UPS should pay attention to the amount of bad reviews they are getting.

    Already a proven class action lawsuit in Canada, UPS still uses overcharging without consent for brokerage. I have emailed UPS and given them information to not use their brokers, however they still use UPS brokerage service. The last time they said it was because I did not include all my aliases - Although my name was on the package it was preceded by the word Mr. and was no one of the names on account. They went on to confirm that Mr without the . would be another alias and had to be entered into their database as a separate name... And so it goes on. I had $60 of brokerage on one package from the US. My broker would have cleared the same package for $7.

    Another time the UPS said they tried to contact my broker. However they were unable to contact them, even though they had their email. As a result they went with UPS brokerage at a much higher price. The other issue I have is pre-paying for a door to door delivery service and then having UPS deliver it to a depot 41 km away for pick up. UPS has never been able to deliver to my door, and has never attempted to do so. I was told last time the subcontractor hired to deliver the package does not deliver in my area, and I would have to drive 42 km to the depot to collect it.

    UPS.com website is one of the worse eCommerce site you can find on the internet. Can't believe they could not do better. At the least, they can "copy" from usps, FedEx or Amazon but they choose not to and make customers suffer. 100% of the times my packages don't get delivered on time or at right place. Stupid my choice is another scam. Good for nothing. Staff is so rude and careless as if they can always go and work at some other store near their home and get paid better than UPS. It is high time UPS cares about customers otherwise it will be history.

    UPS some of the most INCOMPETENT DRIVERS! They were scheduled to pick up a 90 lb package which they delivered beat up. Waited all damn day and evening. Saw the UPS truck go right by my apt. so I just knew he was headed here. NOPE! The INCOMPETENT DRIVER went to the wrong bldg/apt. I was wondering what was taking him so long to come around the corner. Then guess what??? I get an email saying sorry we missed you. WTF!!! Missed who I've been sitting right here - no knock, no nothing. I kept looking out the window saying he be around the corner any second. NOPE!!! Never came to my apt!!! So I called immediately when I get this email and demand they send his dumb incompetent... back!!!

    Well the CSR lied and said she send an email to the facility and someone would contact me in a few minutes. But I called right back and this time was told they would call @ 10 am. Then I called Amazon and spoke with them concerning this issue NO LUCK!!! So now I have to wait until 10 am to get a call!!! WTF!!! A manager should have been calling me immediately to fix this... NOPE. NOTHING!!! So now another MF'n day wasted waiting on their INCOMPETENT DRIVERS!!! It would have been the same if they were delivering this expensive package??? It would have been left at the WRONG DOOR??? DRIVERS pay attention to the street, address, apt# and bldg# and stop rushing and making costly mistakes and a HUGE inconvenience for the customers.

    I received three emails from UPS My Choice alerting me of package arrival today. Each stated that my signature was required for delivery. That's good because it was a valuable painting - obviously a one-of-a-kind. The driver showed up, delivered the box to our doorstep (large and very visible from the street), then rang the bell and ran off - immediately driving away. Thefts of UPS deliveries are RAMPANT in this part of San Francisco. This is inexcusable. Fortunately, I was home.

    Every package delivered to my home by UPS was placed at the wrong house. UPS says they will not deliver to a PO Box but I have received packages from them at my PO box. There seems to be conflicting information here. UPS makes shopping online a hassle. My last order was to be delivered to my PO Box (Small, Less than one pound). I checked the Tracking on May 15 and saw it was undeliverable so I changed the address to my home. On May 22 I received a card in the mail (In my PO Box) saying the package was undeliverable to a PO box and would be returned to the shipper. When I checked the tracking I found the package was not returned yet so I again changed the Delivery address. I also contacted UPS customer service by phone. Three hours after this the package was on its way back to the shipper. I will no longer deal with Online companies that only use UPS.

    Since creating SurePost service whereby UPS passes packages off to the USPS or their subcontractors, UPS ground service is in the tank. The contractors do not real addresses and will deliver to any location that has a matching house number, never mind if it's a completely different street. This is chronic in my area. Recently I arrived home from 3 days driving to find a barricade of large heavy boxes full of furniture stacked as tall as I am right in front of the only exteriorly accessible door to my home. The name and address are not mine but the street number is dead on--only the street name is some distance from here.

    Did UPS send a truck right out to move these things off my property and allow me into my own home? NO. They were hostile, belligerent, and put me on hold for a very long time. Never mind that the driver crossed a no trespassing/local delivery only sign twice, used my driveway for turnaround despite posted "no trucks" at the entrance to the driveway due to damage they cause to pavement, and none of this prompted them to double check the address or respect the sign and walk to the door to verify before delivering. This comprises dumping on my property.

    Had I been inside and needed to leave, I could not have left my home without climbing over the boxes; really great in a fire or other emergency. I am now storing these goods in my garage. They are in the way. The company is inaccessible. It's about $1,500+ worth of goods and they could care less while someone is wondering where their stuff is. Time to deep six the guys in brown. They (and FedEx) only care about express service and sub everything else out. And FYI, USPS can't get mail to the right address if their jobs depended on it, which apparently they don't anymore. Whatever happened to neither rain nor snow...

    Today, UPS did not deliver an urgent package. Instead, the driver lied and stated that I refused delivery (tracking #**). I was home all day and watched closely for the delivery. The last several shipments were the same problem but the excuse was "emergency or weather condition has delayed delivery" but there was no emergency or foul weather. Then the package was delivered to a store in town instead of to my home. (I had no association with that store). When I finally located where the package was, after multiple calls to the local facility and online contact with UPS via internet, I drove to town to retrieve the package and found that another package had been left there for a whole month without us knowing it!

    I have spoke with multiple UPS supervisors about this issue and it still has not been resolved. I am currently without phone service and am awaiting this package in order to restore our phone service. Is it legal for UPS to deliver our packages elsewhere without our knowledge? Also, as with each of these packages I provided easy two step directions to my home, both verbally and through UPS tracking. Thank you for your time in this matter.

    A package (documents - 1lb) sent to me were via 3-day select Lufkin, Texas to Salt Lake City. Did not honor the requested, and paid for delivery option (as referenced in the UPS provided tracking information). Per UPS tracking information, the package was received by UPS from the shipper on May 9th in Lufkin, Texas. On May 12th, I received notification that the package was still in Texas (Vernon, Texas) and that delivery to Salt Lake City would be May 16th. Following up with UPS customer support, I was informed that it was being delivered via truck to Salt Lake, thus the date of May 16th. When I asked them why it wasn't being sent via 3-day select as contracted and UPS documented, customer support could not provide an answer and didn't seem to really care that UPS had made an error. I am traveling and would be leaving Salt Lake before the 16th. This is why it was sent 3-day select in the first place.

    After several hours on the phone and subsequently having to escalate to a supervisor (I had to strongly insist this escalation over customer support objections saying that they could not do anything), I have been verbally assured that it will be re-directed to a location where I will be for a few days following May 16th, however no details have been provided to me. No apologies have been forthcoming from UPS and this has caused serious delays to me as the documents in the package are time sensitive. I had to pay for this 3-day select service ($30) to the shipper who I believe will be requesting a refund to my account with them.

    I have been using UPS for many years, with several deliveries a month. It was very difficult for me to get a live UPS customer support person on the telephone. The customer support telephone number provided on your web page is merely an automated attendant and did not allow the option to speak to a live person. I did eventually find a "back door" means to talk to a live person. Your UPS Chat Support was unavailable Friday early in the afternoon. Based on these experiences, it is obvious that UPS does not take your customer support function seriously. Moving ahead in the future, your lack of concern supports using FedEx.

I decided to call them back 20 minutes past the time I was promised a call from the UPS Delivery Center and I still had to wait for them to call me back. After a total of 2 hours someone from the UPS Delivery Center called and said they would send the driver back with my packages. I was highly upset to be called downstairs when he arrived because they were just "passing by" and my husband had to carry a mattress and other items to the 4th floor because of their mishap.

On Monday I checked the UPS website and found the package was delivered to the UPS distribution center about an hour from my home but the package was being delivered to North Carolina for some reason.

    On Tuesday I again check the UPS website and found that the package had in fact not been intercepted but was sent to NC and that delivery would now be on Thursday 11 May. I again call the UPS service rep and they had no information on this and was unwilling to help to resolve the situation and said the package would be delivered on Thursday. On Wed, 10 May I again checked the UPS website, found the delivered now has been pushed out until Friday 12 May 2017. I have decided that it is a waste of time to call them again and will just have to wait for the incompetent people at UPS to figure this out.

When I called customer service they apologized. Told me I could drive to their hub 20 miles away and pick it up myself the next day or that it would be a couple of days before they could reattempt delivery. I ended losing my temper after hours of arguing with these worthless agent and managers for hours and once even for 3 days before they would get a manager from the local hub to call me back. I now have that number and call them directly.

    After one of these events they agreed to send a driver to fix their mistake within the hour. I went back to packing my orders enjoying the nice weather with the warehouse doors open. After 45 minutes I hear the truck coming. I watch as he drive by my warehouse. I go to the door shocked and amazed as I watch him drive by going the back out the way he came in. Drove by 3 cars in front of my warehouse doors wide open with me standing in it. When I called the hub back they said he could not find me. He drove by twice no more than 40 feet from me in broad daylight. The latest outrage is I shipped a package worth $400. They damage the package in transit and refuse to pay for it and I even paid the extra for the insurance. Worst yet they still charged me for the shipping. They do just as if it was a late package it's not their fault blame me.

During entire time between 1:30 pm and 12am the online status of my package was on local truck. After midnight it suddenly changed to in transit with delivery on Monday, May 1, 2017.

    As you can see the following inconveniences were caused to me by UPS: Original delivery date was changed today later, which required rearrangement of plans. I had to cancel day at work to wait for package home. This package never arrived on that day. I stayed home entire day without been able to leave anywhere. It was supposed to happened latest at 7pm (according to UPS website). Do I need to take a day off work on Monday again??? What if package will not arrive again? I was provided wrong info by the above UPS employees. It caused lots of frustration. My entire weekend plans were affected by this service of UPS.

    I placed an order with well known company and paid for UPS expedited shipping. Delivery in two days. My package did NOT arrive within the guaranteed arrival time. Although UPS claims it will still be delivered yesterday... It is now Saturday and UPS has either lost or stolen my package. How UPS stays in business is a mystery. Never again will I use UPS.

    I have ordered 6 items in the past year that have unfortunately been delivered via UPS. I have yet to get one of those packages on time. There is always a delay for one reason or another and when you call to ask what they will do for you they tell you nothing. Next day air means next week, you pay $50 or more for a package to be delivered the next day and do not get it for a week. They seem to have lots of equipment issues. That cause late deliveries and tell you they cannot do anything about it and will NOT refund your money! Once you do get your package you are lucky if it is in good condition. I am pretty sure their employees kick the packages around and throw them onto the truck.

    Don't bother asking for a signature, that does not matter to them. They will leave your $2,000.00 package on your front door with no signature and if you call to say something, they will tell you, "Well luckily your package was still there." USPS has faster shipments and better customer service and tracking than UPS. If you are buying something request FedEx for your shipment!

    On April 20th, I received an email from UPS Quantum View about a package that was being delivered to me for a very valuable item. The package delivery required a signature in order for the delivery to be completed. The delivery date was set for April 25th, so I planned to take the day off of work in order to sign for the package and prevent the need to make a 20 mile trip to the distribution center to pick up my package in person.

    The day passed and no package was delivered. At around 5:40 PM I checked the UPS website for a delivery status and saw that the UPS driver indicated that the first delivery attempt had been made and that no one was home. I was furious because I was home and my doorbell had never rung and there was no door tag indicating the delivery attempt. The driver had gone to the wrong address!! My house number matches a house number of a house two blocks away with a different street name. NOTE: I had walked past the home with the same house number and sure enough, there was the delivery notice hanging on their door for my package.

    I called the customer service number to report this incident and after negotiating the horrible auto-attendant which makes you feel like an idiot for even thinking that UPS could be at fault, I managed to reach a UPS agent (working at a call center in the Philippines). I told the UPS agent what had happened and he was very sympathetic, I had also told the agent that there was no way I could take another day to sit around and wait for this delivery so I could sign for it. He told me that he would contact the distribution center and that should receive a call from them within an hour.

    After about an hour and a half and no call I called back in and reached another agent. He told me that the complaint was logged at 5:47 PM and that the distribution closed at 6:00 PM. He told me that I would receive a call in the morning. This did not improve my attitude about UPS after being told one thing and getting something different. The next morning at about 9:45 AM I had still not received a call from UPS so I called back in to see what was going on with my delivery. The agent I reached informed me that my package was put back on another truck and was out for delivery. Hello, is nobody listening!!!

    I had informed both agents the day before that I could not take another day off to sign for a package. I asked the agent that I was speaking with this next morning, does UPS expect me to drive 20 miles to pick up a package that they were paid to deliver, because of their screw up??? I told him that I wanted to speak to a supervisor. After being transferred to a supervisor and repeating my story, I was told that she would contact the distribution center and find out why I had not been called and that I would receive a call from the distribution. Two hours later, still no call, I check the status of my delivery and saw the message "package delivered". I was horrified, there was a very valuable item sitting on my front porch unattended!!!

    This is not the first time UPS has delivered or attempted to deliver a package to the wrong address for me and I am sure it won't be the last. What is really the point of this review is that when UPS does something wrong they are horrible at rectifying a problem when it has occurred. I don't think they care. In fairness, I have had problems with FEDEX delivering to the wrong address, the difference with FEDEX is that they will try to make a special delivery or they have multiple smaller distribution centers located around the city making it a much shorter drive to pick thing up in person.

A porcelain dish broken in three pieces. Do these people read. When it states on the box "handle with care, Fragile, and upright." That's exactly what it mean. Some items can never be replaced. A glass box for the porcelain dolls were broken. Does it mean anything when you pay insurance for protection of your items, but you don't get it. I'm disgusted. I'll never use UPS again.

    Tonight, I contacted UPS via a chat function on its site about the fact my missing package showed it was delivered at the front desk and signed by Jones. I live in a house on a dead-end street nowhere near a hotel or motel. UPS' customer service person responded to my request/complaint. She told me that the package was properly delivered in spite of the fact I can prove my house doesn't have a front desk and no one named "Jones" lives with my husband, me, and our cats. There are no hotels or motels on my road. Next, she told me that I should call the hotels in the area to try to find my package. I was not about to contact the dozens of hotels in our town much less the thousands of hotels/motels in the metropolitan area.

    Think about it. If my package had been delivered properly, why would I have to call all the hotels in the area to find it? That was a very stupid suggestion. I told her, "No." Then she told me that this was actually a problem for my shipper and to let them take care of it. The shipper didn't lose it; UPS did. However, I had already done that but this is not the first time we've had UPS misdeliver packages and we are fed up with this nonsense. I wish I had a copy of that chat. Not surprisingly a copy of our chat has not arrived either. That chat is priceless in its abundance of bad customer service. Fortunately, the shipper is replacing my order but it's a shame any business has to suffer losses thanks to UPS' incompetence.

    Ordered something online. Found out it was being delivered today, so I waited. Saw the truck drive by. Checked online and it said, "Delivered". I called the local UPS and of course she told me it was delivered. Told me to call the UPS 800 number in Georgia. So I did, and yes, she too told me it was delivered. Then she proceeded to tell me it was delivered to a different address. What's wrong with this picture?

    So I went to this delivery address, not knowing these people, and they were not home. Package was. So I knocked on a door across the street from that address to see if they knew these people, "not really", was his reply. So I told him and he said go ahead and he would back me up. I retrieved the package which was very long about 40" and about 8" in diameter. I showed him proof of my identity and how it matched the package. In a time where people get shot for looking a certain way, I have to track my purchase and take a risk. I have COPD, and can't walk too far. Time this ordeal was over, I was very out of breath.

    I responded to an advert on eBay. I bought a pair of top grade Bowers and Wilkins Hi Fi Speakers.They were hardly used and in mint condition. The seller lived in the Midlands near Rugby. A 5 Hour round trip by car. I decided to have them collected by courier. I wanted a proper professional organisation. I thought the Brown and Gold van of UPS was iconic and could be trusted. I opened an account and arranged for the speakers to be delivered to my home in Poole Dorset. On unpacking them I was devastated to discover that both were damaged. The front baffle on one was smashed and both of them had damage to the cabinets. There were broken bits of the baffle inside the packaging. It was clear that the damage had been done in transit. The packaging on the badly damaged unit had a huge dent in it clearly showing that care had not been taken in handling it.

    I reported the damage by calling the contact customer services number. I was told to replace the speakers in the original packaging and they would be collected by a driver for examination at the depot. This is the incomprehensible bit. I was told that the speakers would be returned to the seller and he would receive the compensation payment If it was decided that there was a case for recompense. I pointed out that I had paid for the speakers. I owned them. I had opened the UPS Account to have them shipped and I had paid for the shipping.They didn't listen. I was told that was the system and if I was to proceed I needed to follow the instructions. We repacked the speakers in the original packaging. That was not easy. We were excited when we received them and ripped open the boxes not realising we would need to re-use them.

    We told UPS that we could wait in for collection on Tuesday morning not Monday as we were both out all day. They called on Monday! Tuesday morning we waited in. I called them to ensure we were listed for a morning collection. They said it could be anytime during the day! The driver arrived in the morning shortly after we called them. Wonderful I thought but my joy was short lived. "Which one of these am I to take?" he asked. "Well both. They are a matched pair" was my reply. "I have only got a ticket for one" was the reply. After my nervous breakdown We explained what we had been instructed to do by the man on the Phone. He was a nice chap the driver and he said in view of the circumstances he would take them both. I am still wondering if I will ever see my money or those speakers ever again. I have phoned them repeatedly. I have sent emails and I am seething with frustration.

    If you buy anything on eBay make sure you go and collect it personally. I could have walked from Poole to Rugby and back in less time than I have spent on this issue. There is still the inspection result to await and then if they decide to compensate me. They are still as far as I am aware hell bent on sending it to the man I have paid. They are a complete shower and not to be trusted.

    To start with UPS was charged with delivering my medical supplies. They destroyed them to the point that I would have been embarrassed to deliver the package myself. It looks like the package was rammed by a forklift fork. That was bad enough. What was worse was the I suffer PTSD really bad and the delivery dude pounds on my door so hard that it makes me jump out of my skin. I call them and report the condition of the package and the method of delivery. I was told I would get a call before the end of business that day. When I did not get a call I called and was promised a call again. Not receiving that call I called again several days later and was again promised a call by 10 am Monday morning. That was Shandoa on Sunday evening. I never got the call again.

    I called and spoke to a supervisor who identified as Alex. He had the nerve to tell me that they will call me, but that they had tried. I told him that was a lie because I was home most of the time and I answer my phone when it rings. If they managed to call when I was not home they could have left a message. I got no such message. UPS has proven to me that they have liars who say anything to hang up. They do not do anything they claim. So sad. I plan to contact my pharmacy and request they don't use them or make special delivery practices so they don't hurt me anymore.

    I am livid right now. I had a package scheduled for delivery yesterday, which I didn't know, because the Best Buy tracking link didn't work. Even still, the door was being watched for multiple hours during the day, and the ten minutes when I walked away, that's when they tried and failed to deliver my package. I thought it would be delivered the next day (Saturday), but the next business day is actually Monday, so now I have to wait even longer for my package. I checked the tracking information since I finally realized the tracking info Best Buy gave me was for UPS's website (since the tracking info Best Buy provided me with was incorrect), and then I found out that it was left at a UPS access point. I thought, "Great! Today is Saturday, let me go pick up my package and then all will be right." Not so.

    The place wasn't open at half-past 5 on a Saturday. WTF, what kind of hours are these? What if I work on the weekdays and have to pick my package up on the weekend, this is incredibly inconvenient. I don't even know if they're open tomorrow because their hours were posted in Spanish, but not English. So I'm going to go tomorrow and they might not even be open, which means I'll waste even more time. Then on Monday, if no one is able to answer the door for me and sign for my package, I have to start this headache all over again. WHY!? Why can't you just leave my package at the door?! From now on, I'd rather pay extra shipping charges to avoid having UPS handle my packages.

I've had so so many problems with UPS ripping my packages aka my property opened and stolen. I've have packages thrown on my sidewalk and busted while driver waves as he leaves! I have many more horror stories about UPS! What am I doing so wrong? I pay for my things and pay for shipping to receive my packages in a proper manner! Today, I've been waiting since 6:30 a.m. and my package was tracked from that time and it was only 10 mins away, yet I'm sitting here at 11:30 p.m. and watched the driver drive right by my house and looked right at me!!! What? I have my porch light on, lawn light on, front door open and I was standing on my front steps!!! I just stood there in disbelief while this idiot drives by me!!

    I have about 6 packages on that truck and I paid to have them delivered so why won't he deliver them?? "Lazy" and it's way too late to be delivering anyway! It's not even legal where I am!! I waited anyway because I tracked it and it said out for delivery. The driver did not need my signature to deliver either. So I called UPS and told them what happened and they said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, the faculty is closed to which he works from so you have to wait until Monday!" I said, "What? Come again? Did I just hear you say I have to wait for Monday?" She says, "Yes!" That's when I blew a gasket! How dare this company? How dare they? There is no way to contact the driver, no way to contact his employer, no way to track this truck that just drove by my home yet the faculty is closed. Putting the gun to my head because I feel so defeated living on this planet in 2017!

    I just can't take it anymore. What if my mother's heart medications were on that delivery and she needs to take that medication? This is unacceptable! I'm taking this a few steps higher than just leaving a review and being the 1000,000 customer to post one. I'm taking them to court. I've had enough and no one is doing a thing about this company and UPS must be held accountable for these horrible things they have been doing to us, not to mention two UPS drivers coming back and stealing my neighbor's packages that they just delivered ten mins before! I filmed this entire thing because I now record the ups drivers as they pull up because of how they have destroyed my packages/Property other times so I always do now so I have proof! I recommend every one to do this! You can't get anything done today without proof.

    I just got a notification at 11:46 p.m. while I', typing this and it says, wait for it... "Second attempt to deliver"!!! Lol am I in the twilight zone??? How did that happen when no one drove by? I'm sitting right in my front window! Ugh, I am so ** off!??? Ups should not have drivers blowing past anyone's house at midnight anyway! What is that? It's not the holiday season so... Huh? I hate hate hate UPS! I despise that company like no other! Please someone, anyone, do something about this! Another thing, a ups driver killed a family of baby birds on my sidewalk last year, 2016!

    On April 18, 2017 a box was delivered to my door on the stated Amazon arrival date for that particular item. However, there was nothing in the box and the bottom of the box was torn open with bubble wrap hanging out the bottom corner. The outside of the box was labeled with two large yellow labels stating "HEAVY. Handle with care". Upon reviewing my camera recording - I can see the delivery guy carrying the box; holding it by one corner, with one hand, with no effort at all. He dropped the package, rang the doorbell and then walked back to his truck. Clearly he saw the two yellow signs but ignored the warning.

    That was bad enough -- when I discovered the empty box I called UPS Customer Service line and reported what had taken place. I was told they would contact the local UPS office and report the incident and someone would call me back within 30 minutes to an hour. After waiting an hour and a half, I called UPS Customer Service again and repeated my dilemma. The young lady repeated the first message, that I would get a callback within 30 minutes to an hour. She also stated that I should contact Amazon. It is 3:40 pm on April 19, 2017 and I have not received a call from anyone at UPS.

    I cried when I saw the crushed carton abandoned in front of my garage, with the silver saddle horn protruding out of the corner of the box on that bitterly cold December 21st day. It appears as though the saddle was on its side and something was dropped on top of it. It gets better folks. When Pete's Custom Saddlery of Pembroke, Kentucky (he'll also be getting one star here) brought the saddle into Store 3953 to have it professionally packed and shipped to me after he had charged me $1,075 for restoration and shipping, he REFUSED to put additional insurance or declare any value over $100 despite the historical value of this saddle. Ted Flowers was the Saddlemaker to the Stars and each of the 500 saddles made in his lifetime were unique and original.

    According to a statement made by store 3953 manager "Tammy". "The saddle was placed in a 26x26x20 in box, weighing thirty pounds and the box was filled with air packs, bubble wrap and taped." Somewhere along the line, the box reduced its length and width to 25.5x25.5x25.5 in., shed itself of any and all packing materials, and sprouted 5' of nylon cord with which it managed to tie itself together inside a box! I don't think Harry Houdini could've done a better job of escaping its carton en route to home and jumping inside a new one only to get crushed.

    I immediately called UPS Damage Claims (btw, they're harder to find than my ex-husband). I obtained a copy of the package tracking, at no point during its transit was there any notation, comment etc. that my saddle was damaged, jumped into a new box, taped itself shut and went on its merry way only to get crushed further down the line. Oh, I almost forgot, my saddle also lost a significant weight when it was shipped. From 40# to 30#. When I called the UPS Depot at Madison to complain, the manager on duty informed me, "[she] spoke with the driver, he did note the damage and thought he should maybe bring it back to the depot for inspection but decided to leave it at your home. You know you can refuse shipment, right?". I told her this is not about a botched Amazon order. I am the owner of record of this piece of history, a piece of history that the restorer, Pete Harry, neglected to declare a value for or insure.

    I then insisted with Jennifer from UPS Damage claims in my call to them on 12/21/16, an inspection at my residence. On the tracking detail for this package, an entry dated 12/21/16 at 4:57 PM it states, "We've scheduled an inspection of the damaged contents and packaging. We'll provider the sender (who is not the owner) with the results." I called UPS damage claims on 12/23/16 and was told, "there's no need for an inspection. A claim has already been started. Just put your phone through the hole in the box and take pictures of the damage. When I informed her that there was absolutely NO WAY to document the full extent of the damage in that manner, "Jennifer" instructed me to open the box, photograph the packaging, BMC stamp (44 lbs).

    As I did, I was in tears. There was no packaging to speak of in that box and the saddle was tied together with 5' of nylon cord. The saddle horn, which bears Ted Flowers' signature, was dented in many places, the silver panels and horse heads on the fenders and skirt of the saddle were bent and creased and it had been tied/crushed so tightly, that the hand tooled floral panels sustained deep, irreparable, rope burns. The new fleece underside was torn from the front corner. When I informed Jennifer that there was no packaging, she was incredulous. I took 50+ photos of the box and damage. Ever try to upload damage photos, however compressed to the UPS Damage Claims website? Good Luck!! I couldn't even get 1 photo at a time to upload to their site!

    I made multiple requests for a physical inspection due to the extent of the damage. UPS did start the claims process. I was told to obtain a repair estimate for the saddle. Unfortunately, there are VERY few parade saddle experts (Pete Harry is NOT one of them) in the US. The closest to me was Loon Creek Leather in Huntington, IN. The cost of repairable items, since some of this damage cannot be repaired without destroying the historical value of this item, was over $1,000. The conservative devaluation estimate was $650. The cost to drive back and forth from SC Wisconsin to NE Indiana to drop off and pick up the saddle because there's no way I would entrust this again to UPS, was nearly $800. Not to mention all my time. So what did I get from UPS Store 3953 last week? A check for $179.40.

    While they accepted a miniscule amount of responsibility in paying the claim, they were grossly negligent in the handling of this item which clearly broke out of its original packaging and then some brown clown along the line decided to throw it in a bigger box, tie it together tightly with nylon cord. The vast majority of saddles, especially the heavily tooled and silver adorned ones, are made of leather. Leather is animal hide (I don't think I should state the obvious here, but...). You can't tie a hide up with nylon cord and NOT expect for it to sustain rope burns. Likewise, the rule of thumb, if it looks expensive, it most likely IS. UPS is negligent in that UPS and/or its agents or representatives, failed to exercise due care, failed to document damage, even though the delivery driver professed knowledge of the damage.

    It's interesting to note that I've taken my newly repaired possession to at least 3 different UPS stores, each time receiving vastly different professional packaging and insurance/declared value quotes. At one UPS Store, I found an honest employee. I brought the saddle, box and rope in and stated kindly, "Ma'am I believe someone has lied to you. I wouldn't risk shipping that item back for an estimate or repairs via UPS since it may void your claim for damages because they didn't physically inspect it." I took her advice, spent 13-1/2 hours on two Saturdays to ensure the saddle's safe transit to Bob Glessner at Loon Creek Leather and back. Bob gets 5 stars for the yeoman's job he put into saving this beauty. I have made two requests now for the name and mailing address of UPS Store 3953's owners and the name and address for United Parcel Service Legal Department. Nothing thus far...

    Updated on 04/24/2017: After hours of phone calls, finger-pointing and general "there goes Elvis" business practices, I was able to find the phone number for UPS Media Relations in the Atlanta, GA corporate headquarters. It WAS NOT, by any means easy but please, even if after posting this message, they change the phone number, remember Media Relations! Their phone number is (404)-828-4900. Above all. Be persistent. UPS banks on customers caving and forgetting!

    This UPS has the worst delivery services Ever!!! I have my package expedited from US to Canada, I paid high cost just to have my package delivered the soonest possible time. 1st day the driver left an info notice 'coz it's a COD. I tracked using their website and stated it will be for delivery on next business day (END of Day), so I say Okay because it's end of day so probably around 5 pm - 7 pm.

    I tried many times to pay the COD online and it never allowed me. 2nd day, I was surprised on the website that 12:30 pm the driver already went to our house and failed 2nd attempt. So I did a request online to deliver it to my workplace address as neighbor since there was no option for another address. 3rd day, I was shocked again, they've done final attempt already at 2:30 pm as they went to our house while me waiting at my workplace. Never did I receive any call from them so I called them so mad. I paid my COD and they said to deliver the package on the next day. I asked the agent, "by the way, What is end of the day means to UPS?" Agent said: it's between 9 am - 7 pm... me answered: Whhhaaatttt???

    Now 4th day: With my high hopes that I could receive my package this time, but I was surprised to see the online tracking that stated the receiver has moved to new address and will contact the receiver... oh my God!!! I never moved out to other house, nobody called me from their side. Even their pick-up location is only at their warehouse, their UPS store locations is totally useless!!! So now I ended up going to near Calgary Airport just to pickup my package because that's the location of their warehouse!!!

Every document with every number I own was in that package. Copies of Tax forms, IDs, EVERYTHING! Customer service was no help other than giving me the number for UPS Investigations which he said he wasn't supposed to do. So here is the number in case someone needs it: 866-706-6894. However, they will not really help you. I also discovered that PHYSICAL scans of the packages are not listed for customers. The arrival/departure scans listed are only Approximations of where they think your package SHOULD be. In reality, they have no idea where your package is until it arrives some place for a physical scan.

    The entire tracking list provided to customers is a Deception and only the route where the supposed truck arrives - they do not scan the packs at each location. The investigator admin Only tells you that you must wait ** number of days for the investigation to close on the lost item. I simply requested that they make this a priority since the risk of identity theft was very high, they didn't care. I asked that they call each service center on the tracking list rather than emailing so that the centers would realize the importance of this package - no luck. I am FURIOUS to say the least.

    UPS messed up 3 times today! First their instructions to have a package taken to a local center was incorrect. Went to the UPS Customer Center on Richmond Ave. - they refused to sign for the package. Sent me back home to call to have picked up. Called to have picked up & they informed of the $1,000 limit for drop off - they did not say anything at the UPS Customer Center.

    When I called to have the package picked up they had the Tracking Number that had all the information on it. They refused to waive the pick up fee - even though they had incorrect instructions - even wanted to send me across town to send the package. Even after scheduling and adding another almost $11.00 dollars to the pick up at 2:30 p.m. today by 7 pm - they had not shown up by 8:30 p.m. Called - they did not have my unit number when they scheduled the driver. I have not cursed that much in a long time - have not been that fired up in a long time. Going to FedEx tomorrow!!!

I told them I need my vases, they answered I may get them back unless the seller wants them back because the seller is the one doing the compensation.

When I contact UPS this time, I was told by the supervisor that they CHANGE the address to one they thought was correct because they were not sure of the zip code and delivered it there.

    After an extremely frustrating 24 hours dealing with this organization and their immense screw up I am reporting this issue on here as well. On March 13th 2017 I thoroughly pack and ship a fiberglass panel for a Corvette to a customer in Florida. Fees charged by UPS for GROUND shipping including $500 insured item value was 151.63 USD. On March 20th 2017, customer received the package damaged and the Corvette panel crushed. Customer immediately contacted me and also UPS to file a claim. I also contacted UPS as well since I was the sender of the packet. UPS comes to my customer's shop to pick up that package for a supposedly "inspection" without saying anything to me nor my customer about what was going to happen after the item was pick up. No news from UPS since, and each call to UPS to inquire about this ended up in the same “your packet is under investigation. We cannot tell you more about this now” way.

    Today, March 28th 2017 my customer call me stating that UPS is shipping the panel back to me for some unknown reason. I call UPS right away, and after spending many hours on the phone with different employees and then managers, I have been told that it was the normal procedure to return the packet to the original sender, and they cannot return it to my customer. Their return info even state "A request was made by either the sender or the receiver to return the shipment." Neither me nor my customer requested any return.

    I wanted this item to be back to my customer after the inspection period is over, since he runs a car body shop and could have easily fixed the damages on the Corvette panel, which was a rare car part to get to begin with so was worth the repair. All UPS manager I had on the phone refused to help me to get this shipment back to my customer. It was just the same "too bad, it's too late now and the packet is already on its way back" answer.

    At this point I STILL haven't received any information concerning that opened damages claim. Only left with the tracking stating the packet was sent back to me. So I called again UPS to ask about this, and finally after another "please hold, I am going to transfer you" never ending game with a few employees, I finally managed to make someone send me an email with the claim status. I was extremely disappointed to see that my claim for damages was refused for the following reason "The used, non-US, single-wall, corrugated shipping container was not sufficient to protect the merchandise".

    I have a store on Amazon & eBay with 100% positive feedback on both places. I regularly sell online and pack/ship since +10 years now. I have learned how to pack correctly and always do so since the beginning, and never had any problem before, neither with UPS, FedEx or even USPS whom are well known for damaging or losing packages. So I am sorry but I DO know how to pack properly. And YES my box came from a US shop as well! My only mistake there was to use the services of UPS, a company I thought were professional and more careful about their shipment. My bad.

    I am reporting this now as well to: California Department of Business Oversight, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Better Business Bureau. I am going to file a "small claim" in court as well against UPS following my attorney's advice. I am also contacting all news & media channels that I know of, and which could be interested by this story. I am at this point REALLY DETERMINATE to get this issue solved the right way, and I am willing to do all it takes to do so. They charged me 151.63 USD for a service they didn't provide correctly nor want to honor now, and all they are doing now is returning me the packet (probably even more damaged), leaving me with a loss of $651.63, and with a definitely NOT happy customer as well.

I shipped a package on a Thursday to Denver overnight for one of my top clients who do about a million a year in sales with us. Needless to say it didn't get there Friday. It never left the hub in Baltimore. I spoke to all my reps including corporate Friday and asked for the package back twice so I can relabel it for Sat delivery. I was told it's handled no less than 3 times. We have it set for Sat delivery.

    Not only did UPS just completely change their story on Monday which they have all the calls recorded I asked for a specific color amount for my time and they refused. I asked to speak to the boss and this is not the first time I have asked for him and I was basically told he is too busy for people like me!!!

    Awhile back I signed in blood that if they left packages on my front doorstep, I would not hold them responsible (even when they were). I requested the simple courtesy of ringing my doorbell when they left a package so I would be alerted. This tiny customer courtesy the driver simply would not do. Since I was expecting prescription drugs to be delivered today, last evening I participated in a "chat" session as well as a phone call asking them to please, please just ring the bell and leave the package. Apparently the driver took this as a personal insult.

    Today I rushed home from the doctor's office to pick up my package and found one of those "gotcha" notices on my door telling me I had to pick up the package at a UPS facility. The mail order pharmacy had expedited the package because I am out of these critical meds.

He sneered at me and said something to the effect that he was NOT going to move the truck, and that I could jolly wait till he has made his delivery, and that he could not CARE LESS about my need to get out, and worse, and throughout he pointed a finger at me and interspersed his rant with "Sweethearts", i.e. "Sweetheart, I could not care LESS about your trying to get out, and can't you see, Sweetheart, I'm trying to make a delivery here, and Sweetheart, you'll just have to wait it out and sit tight till I am done." Except with slurred but rapid fire speech and bad grammar.

    That while he was sitting in the truck at the wheel, where he could have just pulled up a few feet by putting his foot on the gas! While he left the truck blocking me, I found a way to maneuver around him by driving on the sidewalk, and then -- as I was driving off, he came CHASING AFTER ME IN HIS TRUCK! All of a sudden he found his gas pedal and started tailgating me! I quickly pulled in a driveway and he careened past me at top speed and pulled over and parked, waiting for me to pull out again! This was scary, he was a big guy built like a truck, dreads flying as he bobbed his head around, staring at me threateningly. He basically went postal, seemed to have a huge anger management problem or jacked up on something and I was now the target. BTW I am a lady 71 years old, a real worthy opponent for his wrath apparently. He parked in that spot down the block for quite a while, this during his route/work time.

    I finally snuck out and made a sharp left, hoping to lose him. I thought I had, but 15 minutes later as I drove down another street he again was coming straight at me, glaring as he saw me. He yanked the wheel over and came to a stop immediately. I was parked at a busy intersection going the opposite way and was afraid he was going to come out of the truck and attack me. I finally made it across the road. On my way home half an hour later, he was still parked there, maybe thinking I lived somewhere on that block and he could watch which house I went in. I just kept driving. I did not go home for hours. This is all done while he is supposed to be working.

    I am pretty sure UPS drivers are not supposed to block driveways, stalk old ladies using a UPS work truck and harangue and pursue strangers whom they have previously inconvenienced. His license plate is GBH659 Florida plates. I am sorry to hear that UPS does not follow up on complaints because this driver is a ticking time bomb.

    This is related to the return of an item purchased from Amazon marketplace. I printed the return label from Amazon and handed over the return package at a local UPS store. UPS eventually lost the package. After many hours with UPS, I got confirmation that they will not do anything to investigate the loss unless they get a call from Amazon or from the marketplace dealer. Since UPS took the shipment from me, I expected them to take responsibility. Very disappointing that they would not do it.

    UPS can never find my address. I work for the biggest university in the city. They attempt to deliver, then I get an email saying the address is wrong so I call and give them a different address and I'm told it will be delivered that same afternoon. The next morning I receive an email that says "refused shipment, returning to sender". This makes me SO MAD because I never refused the shipment, they just can't find anything. So I call UPS yet again and I'm told the driver is new and couldn't find the address. So instead of calling, he marked it as refused shipment. Not only do they get lost, but they are LIARS. I had ordered something on the same day through FedEx and it was delivered without a problem. ALWAYS USE FEDEX, never use UPS. They'll just get lost.

    2 out of 4 packages held without delivery for over a month. Unfortunately a signature is required so they have made me a prisoner of my own home. Every day claiming they will be delivering and another delivery not made. First 2 packages are damaged but cannot file a claim until I receive all 4. USE FEDEX!!!

    UPS delivered a package to my door after I had called them to retain the package for me and that I would be picking it up. The contents of my package were stolen, I have been contacting them since this happened and all they have been doing is giving me the runarounds. They have not replaced my package or done anything about this. It's been one lie after the other from every representative and supervisor I have spoken to. You see this on the news everyday about them just leaving your packages exposed to thieves and they just don't care because it's not costing them anything. UPS has very bad service and the representatives also. They have nerve to give you attitude after it was their mistake to begin with.

    I bought a piece of furniture on 3/3, UPS was suppose deliver on 3/7. At approx 11:00am I check tracking and it says "REFUSED DELIVERY". I was not home, how did I refuse again? Anyway I change to pickup but after a week and they're not open on Saturdays (seriously?). I pay for redelivery for 3/17 through My Choice. On 3/17 they update "out for delivery" but around 11:00am (again) they update with "emergency, severe weather". It was sunny outside. I call and they apologize and say they have no idea when they will deliver it. I decide to tweet them and they keep telling me all day they're going to call or that they have been calling (my phone never rang, no voicemail, nothing).

    At 5:00pm they tweet me "sorry it's damaged. Contact the seller". Really? UPS will send it back. I explain that it is unfortunate they damaged it and they claim they don't know how it was damaged. The worst experience ever! Oh and they have not updated they tracking to say it was damaged so if I never called them repeatedly I would be waiting forever.
