    When I picked up my package at a UPS Access Point, it took ok my ID and wouldn't return it. I called the service desk number shown on the lists and waited over 30 minutes for them to pick up. I eventually got my ID back, with a lot of my own time and effort. UPS provides poor customer service.

    A package was mailed from California 3/8/2017. It arrived in the destination state on 3/12/2017. We did have a 4" snowfall that night... The weather persons had claimed was going to be a blizzard. It was a BUST! I got my first delay on the 12th and it was understandable. It is now 3/16/2017... The sun has been out, roads are clear. Both FedEx and DHL delivered here today... but not UPS!

    At 1:30 I get the same "snowmageddon" notice that they wouldn't be delivering that package today due to severe weather. They might have been blinded by the sun! The representative at UPS said it's the drivers call.. He might have had a backlog! My 14 pound package has been in the hands of UPS for 8 days. No apologies, just a "gum popper" saying you might get that package tomorrow. UPS has really bad delivery service and the call screeners just let them get away with it. There are other carriers FEDEX and DHL... I'll be requesting that my sellers use anything but UPS. I hate being manipulated by someone who just isn't doing their job.

    Absolutely worst company I have ever dealt with. Be very careful, UPS will up charge your shipment. I have been sending packages for my company and very accurately noting the weight only to have UPS adjust my bill for a higher weight. Package size is another way they will get you. Customer service is a whole other issue. Representatives are incredibly rude and not helpful - only use their "script" to respond.

    I ordered a photo lens ($1500 value) from Amazon.com. Amazon shipped the package and on all emails, etc. it said due to the high value of the item "A SIGNATURE AT DELIVERY REQUIRED". According to UPS tracking the package was left in front of my door in the middle of New York City in a building with other 1200 units and with easy street access at 11:40am on a Wed. I got home from work around 8:30pm to find no package. I asked my neighbors if they had gotten the package (my neighbors have been in the building over 30 years and we all very friendly). No package. I contacted Amazon who said to contact UPS. I contacted UPS who said to contact Amazon.

    Finally I told UPS I wanted to open a case. They opened it and took my info and said it would take about 10 business days to investigate. I said okay. Two days later I get a notice saying "case closed". I contact UPS who says that the shipper "Amazon" had closed the case. I asked UPS for Proof of Signature of the package and tracking showed no signature had been obtained EVEN though according to UPS Amazon requested it. But AMAZON keeps saying they didn't request it. I finally reported the issue to my bank and we'll see what will happen.

    My item was actually used so the value was less than $1500 but still in the $1,000 mark. That's a lot of money that no one wants to take any actions on. The police would not file a report, wouldn't even show up to do so. Plus I never accepted the package nor should I take responsibility legally for a package left in front of my door without authorization. It's just Amazon's way of pushing the burden over to the consumer. You're not legally required to do so (coming from a family of attorneys).

    I received an email from UPS stating that my package would be delivered between 3:30 pm and 7:00 pm. I took a half day off work so I could be at home for the delivery. When I pulled into my driveway at 12:45 pm there was a note on my door saying that I missed my delivery. When I called UPS, all they told me the driver attempted delivery at 11:39 am (4 hours early) and that "Stuff Happens", and they would try again tomorrow between 3:30 pm and 7:00 pm. So now I will have to take more time off. This is getting to be a real expensive delivery.

    On February 24, 2017 I took a package to a UPS franchise office in Colonial Heights, Virginia. The parcel contained costumes for a period film being shot in England, the costumes cost a few thousand dollars to design. It cost me almost $200 to mail the package from Virginia to Nottingham, England. I was told it would be about a week before it arrived in England. A couple of days ago I was advised by the recipient in England that the package never arrived. The UPS employees advised me they created a mailing label and gave the parcel to the US Post Office so, "It's not OUR problem, call the Post Office, THEY screwed this up."

    I called the Post Office, gave them my tracking number and was told that the item had NEVER been picked up by anybody at the Post Office. The postmaster said when a package is picked up by their driver, the tracking number is scanned into the system before they even put the package on the truck, and they have no record of it EVER being picked up by anybody at the Post Office. Back to UPS, and the manager of the office grew very snippety with me over the phone, as though I were annoying her by asking where my package was. Now I have a very upset client in England who is out of thousands of dollars worth of film costumes and I have no idea what happened to my package. I thought I could trust UPS with my shipment.

    I had a stereo component delivered to Newmarket, north of Toronto from Boston in November 2016. My girlfriend provided the driver with the credit card information at our door for the $23.50 brokerage fee. He then handed us our DAC. Well, last Friday 10th 2017 we get our mail and UPS put us over to a collection company saying the $23.50 was not paid. We called UPS Friday evening and asked how in the world can they justify putting us into collections after we gave the driver our credit card for payment? UPS claims the driver input the wrong numbers!

    So, for almost 4 months we get no emails, calls or letters from UPS over $23.50 that did not go through because of a mistake by a UPS employee. Of course Friday night I paid the $23.50 as we did look at our credit card and the charge did not go through and I owed the money. As this is a company card with at least $2000 going through a month we never noticed $23.50 not being charged. So UPS makes the mistake, does not contact us and puts us into collections.

    UPS, you had my work email, my personnel email, my home number, my cell number and my address. You at any time could have contacted us, and the money would have been paid, instead you put us over to a collection agency. There are a lot of courier companies out there. Until UPS changes this deplorable unfair practice I'll be using anyone except UPS.

    I went into the Vail, Colorado UPS store in early February to inquire about shipping a rug to Baltimore. The manager offered to come to my condo very near the office to give me a quote on the cost since it was quite heavy. After more than 3 weeks and no less than 6 phone calls later, including calling the Edwards office, not one person ever showed up or returned a call. I cannot imagine how they stay in business. Isn't their job to ship stuff?? REALLY>> So I found a fantastic replacement called Trip Hero. They came the day I called them, were super professional and the rug arrived in Baltimore within 3 days. Never had a worse experience, SHAME on UPS!! I will never use them again in Colorado. Sorry I didn't know of Trip Hero earlier on.

    All our packages are sent in perfect condition. When a receiving freight forwarding company refused to accept the UPS package because it was found damaged, UPS first claimed the package was "undeliverable", then after hunting down UPS personnel, UPS claims the receiver refused to accept the package for no reason whatsoever and not due to damage. UPS charged our account for the return shipping, which is fraud in itself, because we, the shipper do not agree and never agreed to pay for return shipping, esp. since the package was in the receiver's possession for nearly 1 week before charging for returning the package. After, we the shipper made a damage claim, we received a call from a person from Texas claiming that they do not work for UPS, and they are denying the damage claim entirely, and of course they know nothing about the charge for return shipping, let alone will help to remove it.

    Just a disgusting company. I wish there could be more shipping companies in the U.S. The cost of shipping is exactly the same between UPS and FedEx, but every time we call UPS to ask a question, they are so unhelpful and condescending. I really hate UPS now. I wish I never have to deal with UPS ever again. I hate the UPS people I have had to deal with. I wish they would have a recording asking to rate the person after the conversation, like I experienced with Delta recently. These big companies are getting destroyed by these awful employees who should not have a job at all, and not destroying other business with their lies, incompetence and disgusting feeling they give when real business people have to deal with them. UPS IS FULL OF LYING, THIEVING, AND AWFUL PEOPLE.

    I brought in a pre-labeled box to ship to a local UPS shipping drop off center, paid the UPS shipping and a handling fee, only to find out the employee put on a DIFFERENT address than what I had. Why? No one seems to know. This resulted in 2 weeks of calls between the shipping center, UPS and the intended recipient of the package trying to locate the package and get it to her.

    The UPS tracking information was so vague and they could not tell me where the package was (could she possibly pick it up somewhere?) or when it would ultimately be returned to me. I tried contacting UPS via phone and the customer service rep was nice, however without any details it really left me in a lurch. I also reached out to UPS through their customer service Twitter channel, and was unable to get any help there.

    So after 2 weeks of hassling with this, the package ended up being returned to me and we got to try again with shipping it. The package was finally delivered a week later- so it took 3 weeks to get a package to someone. Plus it was damaged by UPS in the process. They filed a claim about the damage but then denied their own claim to reimburse me anything. The value of the item (a collectible wooden album crate) is $100, and while it was not completely smashed, it clearly was damaged. The wood cover no longer fits right, as it did when I shipped it. I understand things happen, however it's during those times that a company can shine in resolving the issue. Not this one! Never again- stay away from UPS. It's not worth the hassle.

    I had a package that UPS was supposed to deliver today. I had requested updates if there was a delay. Got nothing. Today I checked the tracking information to see what time the package would arrive and there was a "mechanical issue" and they could not give me the status. I contacted customer service via chat and all she did was read the tracking information to me and told me she could not tell me where it was or when it would be delivered. I sent a complaint to UPS and all I received was an update saying my $500 package would be here Monday. Before I order anything in the future I will not get it if UPS has to deliver it because I have no intention of ever doing business with them again. This item is to help a back pain issue and it's very important that I receive it. I don't know why they even bother to have a customer service rep because they are absolutely worthless.

    I honestly was surprised by UPS. I've ordered 3 items in the past few months from UPS and received 2 of them, so they are batting 66 percent with me. Those odds are not much better than flipping a coin. My most recent experience was odious. I received a tracking notice via email (which I used to actually and enjoy). You know the drill... "A package is arriving tomorrow."

    You can structure your life so packages should arrive on your days off, vacation time, etc. but LIFE HAPPENS... Factories run out of supplies, work orders take longer to fill. So, maybe I should be a bit more adaptable and compassionate regarding UPS. The problem is, it would appear that UPS uses Boolean logic... fuzzy math. So when you read, "You have a package arriving tomorrow," what UPS AI may or may not mean is, "You have a package arriving tomorrow for pick-up at your Access Point Store." Hmm... Ok so I was given about 12 hours notice for first time delivery so it was kinda hard to just skip WORK...

    The second round around (the next day), I was told I had a package arriving at the end of the day. Cool. Except. The end of the day turned into a rendezvous with the new email translation stating (several hours later)... "Your package has arrived." Naturally it didn't arrive at my ADDRESS at the end of the day (because that would be too logical). When I called and complained to the female head honcho she was rude and borderline nasty, suggesting I wanted special service for the driver to come to me. No, I just wanted what I paid for, in my purchase agreement. She was a charmer. The package did require a signature and they left that stupid beige slip that makes you want to scream on my door screen. At least it didn't blow away. So, I signed the requisite form and waited.

    The ridiculous slip was still there days later. Nice work guys. I'm going to start putting the word out that FedEx is the next REAL customer champion. Oh, and I LOVE Amazon... They actually have an amazingly accurate delivery process. UPS, your stock will most likely begin to plummet. Drastically. It would have to if the large volumes of production never reach delivery. The fact that I was put in the position where I was told I would have to drive to You and do YOUR job is unthinkable. Use Drones. Must I spell out every detail for you??? Oh and UPS corporate, check the emails under Tatiana on 3/1/17 and you'll see I'm telling the truth. Check the phone calls that day after 4 pm. You already have the data. Might as well use it to get rid of the very real problem employees who are either bitter or stupid. Or both.

    I have a returned item sent through UPS to a vendor who went out of business. UPS has it marked as "being held at the request of the business". I've called multiple times, spent far too long trying to get to talk with a human and ended up being placated. I offered to pay to have my package returned to me. They said they'd try to locate it and several days later my package is still marked as "at UPS awaiting delivery, being held at request of business". I'm now wondering what UPS does with all the booty it collects that are sent to non-existent businesses since they don't return it to sender. NOTE: USPS will return to sender.

    I understand what a delivery date is, and how FEDEX delivers on or before that date as does the local Big Spring Texas post office. However, this UPS in San Antoine Texas sucks. I mean My package was sitting for 3 days in the "HUB" and is still sitting there, not moving. When I call the 800 number for ups I get people who can neither speak proper English, nor understand it. Now I work as a recruiter for a telemarketing company and I talk all day to people whom have applied to work at the company. So I know when someone is reading from a script, and I know the sound of a call room. These customer service people are reading from a script and get frustrated when I tell them I know they are reading from a script and that I want them to look away, listen to my question and answer it properly.

    My delivery date is not here as of yet. But my concern and question is and has been, why is it just sitting in the holding room and not out for delivery? It took me since Friday to get a answer, and even then the answer made no sense. I am giving them until the 1st of March to have my package here. Then if it is not here I will move forward with a lawsuit, a police follow up and legal actions.

I should not that it was raining earlier that day, but not between the time of delivery and my picking up the box to move it into my house which was about one hour later, when I returned home.

One week later, the box is still sitting in my living room and UPS has not picked it up. I also filed a claim with my shipper, but I'm getting the run-around by both UPS and the shipper.

On the first day there was a weather advisory in my area, however the package made it From Ohio to New Jersey. On the second day (delivery day) it never came due to the weather advisory the day before, and they couldn't track it because the facility was closed. Please note I order 3 pieces and 2 of 3 arrived. In other words there was NO WEATHER ADVISORY! On the third day they called to tell me "Sorry you will get it on Monday."

    I live 30 mins away from the Service location and offered to drive and pick it up. Very annoyed I asked them, "You mean to tell me UPS couldn't cross the tunnel and drop off my laptop? A 30 minute drive- but my other packages made it from GA?" They held it "hostage" for 96 hours, when offered a number of times to drive 30 minutes from NYC to pick it up! All in all I'm very dissatisfied with UPS!

    I thought the Post Office is the worse to receive packages but I was wrong. UPS is worst than a company operated by a third world. I can't believe the emotional trauma I have to go through to receiver a simple package. How on earth can you call a customer to pick an item that is not available for pick up and the blame it on the driver. No wonder my job stopped dealing with them. I hate UPS with passion. Customer service sucks so are the workers at the facility. Incompetence is an understatement. It's all about greed profitability. Hopefully FedEx would be the giant soon.

    I am writing this letter out of utter frustration, and hoping that it will come across someone's desk today that can help me. It is urgent that I receive my package but no one seems to want to help me find it. I am from Arizona and have just experienced the worst customer service from two of your facilities here, (Meg from the Mesa sort facility) & (Barbara from the Tempe sort facility).

    I had ordered an important item for a very important Military Award Ceremony this coming Saturday evening, February 11th at the Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. My package was shipped 2 day so that I would receive its contents in plenty of time, however the shipper mistakenly put the wrong zip code on the label. When I called to see if they could hold it at the Mesa sorting plant, Meg said that it was already on its way to the Tempe location but wouldn't arrive there until Monday for delivery. This would mean that I would have to miss the award ceremony tomorrow evening. Mesa and Tempe are right next to one another, how could it take 3 days to get from one location to the other? Doesn't make any sense at all.

    When I called the Tempe location and talked with Barbara there, she said after checking her records that my package was still at the Mesa plant. How could my package be at neither facility? I got the feeling that one or both ladies were just too lazy to go look for it. In the meantime, I am going to have to miss my Military Award Event because I do not have that package. I am very frustrated and willing to go pick it up if someone would just do their job and track it down for me. Neither lady sounded very happy to help me when answering the phone, they almost sounded irritated.

    I have never experienced such bad attitudes and customer service. I would never leave my customer hanging out to dry especially if it was for something important or for someone that serves our country. If there is anyone there at the corporate offices that could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I have had several bad experiences with UPS drivers, for example I once arrived home just in time to catch the driver. According to him since he had already attempted delivery I had to go in the truck and carry my box out myself. The delivery was from Chewy and contained pet food and a bag of litter. The box must've gotten knocked about a bit because when I picked it up litter went everywhere. I also took a day off of work just to be told at the end of the day, after my item was out for delivery all day that they were going to deliver it another day! So basically they are unable to deliver on the day they are supposed to.

    This last Saturday the package went from in transit from Newark to "attempted delivery." No out for delivery, no nothing. Once I saw this I ran out and saw the UPS truck drive off. I immediately called their customer service just to spend an hour on the phone with a rep telling me they can't help. I paid an extra 14.99 for next day delivery I didn't get and then when I called to ask for the driver to come back or to at least leave it at my local UPS store the representative said she couldn't call the driver or do anything to help me. UPS customer service is useless since they claim to be unable (or at least unwilling) to contact their drivers when you need them to, even for customers who pay extra. Their drivers all behave as if they hate their jobs. I noticed a huge difference between service to a business address and a home address. UPS is the worst.

They said "no problem as long as you pay us $7." Of course I didn't pay. Then I asked if a signature was required. They said that there was no signature required on this package and will let the driver know to leave pkg at door. 3rd attempt same ** happens. Leave a note and the driver didn't leave the package.

    I truly understand you need to be 21 years old to sign for certain packages, but when the driver knows what time you get home and where you work and he deliberately comes at a time when he knows you're not there so you cannot get your packages. I have told customer service in the past what time I get home. I had actually seen a UPS truck parked in front of my house when I get home and I do not have a delivery, he's just showing me that he could come there when I'm there but he's not. I have told customer service in the past this driver has a problem with me. My feelings are he is letting personal beliefs get involved with his work, and it's making your company look bad.

    Absolutely disgusting establishment. I have had packages sent to me on three separate occasions in which cash had been stolen out of. By the third offense, we realized that each time goods were sent to me from my father (UPS would see his name as the return address), they were being opened and the cash stolen. The first time an envelope labeled "for groceries" had been stolen out of a care package sent to me through UPS. The second two times the money was hidden within the package and STILL was stolen.

    Not only is this a disgrace, but UPS makes it extremely complicated to get in touch with them, and once you do, they could quite honestly care less. I was simply told "there is nothing we can do." So while there is nothing they can do for me, I have vowed to never use UPS again and STRONGLY recommend others to turn to FedEx instead. FedEx is much more reliable, and will ultimately save you the trouble of being stolen from. UPS has lost my business, and I can only hope they will lose yours too.

    I ordered a bed from a well known furniture store's website and UPS was responsible for the delivery. A few weeks after my order I checked the tracking number because it had not arrived yet. On their tracking website it said my bed was delivered. After submitting a claim for my missing item UPS conducted an investigation and agreed there was no proof that bed was delivered and they would either refund my money or pay for another bed. I had very poor customer service throughout this entire process. Anytime I called inquiring about the status of my refund or the issue at hand I was never told anything, everyone working customer service would say that they "were working on it" or that I would have to consult with the furniture store.

    About two months later I arrive home and there is a large box sitting on my doorstep, it was slats and side rails to the bed, there was no headboard or rest of the bed. By this point I had already bought another bed because I was tired of sleeping on the floor and I thought I was never going to get the bed. I specified to UPS that I wanted a refund way before they sent half of the bed and they never informed me that the bed was on its way. I was not kept informed on any part of this process and if it was not for the furniture company, I would still be waiting on ups for anything to happen. I WILL NEVER USE UPS EVER AGAIN. I understand that accidents happen and things get lost, that's not why I am upset. I am frustrated because I was not informed as to what was going on with MY order, they were unable to answer any of my questions and they don't seem too concerned about keeping customers.

    Gave UPS an envelope to deliver by a date certain. They guaranteed delivery by 10 am, but later said they could only guarantee delivery by end of day. My package sat in Salt Lake City for an entire day. Then they claimed a coal train derailment (my package was not on that train!) caused them to miss delivery. Problem is the derailment did not affect their delivery options AND even assuming it did, they did nothing to get the package and re-route it for timely delivery. No one bothers to call and tell you there's a delivery issue either.

    After speaking to countless people in customer service (oxymoron), no one could tell me where my package was or when it would be delivered. The next day they lied and said it was at a hub, where no one worked on Saturdays. Problem, it wasn't at a hub. It was 7.6 miles away from the delivery location, but they refused to deliver it because I hadn't asked for Saturday delivery. When you talk to the UPS Store, they claim they have no relation to UPS. When I asked them for my money back, they claim they have to ask UPS because they are only a franchise. Then tell me that UPS will deny my claim anyway and there's no recourse.

    Customer service is entirely unhelpful. They expressed zero concern about their failure to fulfill the contract and then told me all they are responsible for is the envelope, not what is in it or damages for failure to deliver on time. Unfortunately for them, I signed the "disclaimers", which are in print too small to read, as having been signed under duress. They still accepted the package, so they are responsible for all my damages. Will never use UPS again.

    This service is either a fraud scheme, or woefully inadequate. I get notices of package deliveries. The system says I can reschedule or redirect packages, but does not allow me to do so.

Then they say they come at 10:17 A.M., find me at home to sign for the package and deliver it. They did not ring the bell (it rings to my phone), so I know that something is seriously not legit. I will have to wait until I get home to see if they left any kind of notice as to where the package is. They cannot give me an answer as to why no one ever rings the doorbell when they attempt to deliver. This has happened more than once.

    The last time this happened, they said the package was at the UPS distribution center, 45 minutes away, so I made the drive, only to find out that they had given the package to someone with a fake ID. Both of these packages were from the same shipper, so I guess they are in this together, but UPS does not seem to care that either. They are being used or their employees are using them as a front for a scam. I should also mention that the UPS employees say they have nothing to do with UPS My Choice. What is that about?

    There are never any guarantees whenever you're shipping a package with a carrier. However, after the nightmare that I have experienced from UPS losing my package. I have learned a huge lesson. First, no one cares that package is missing. Second, and If you had failed to insure that package... UPS will only refund back to you, the shipping charge and a good faith fee of $100.00. So ALWAYS, insure your package for as many dollars that you feel that a possible lost would be worth. It won't replace the items, but that lost might be a little easier to deal with.

    My mother passed away the end of September. One of the things she left to me was her beautiful 45 year old blown glass collection. My father had the pieces specially made and gave them to her for her birthday and Christmas. I went to Illinois and stayed with one of my sisters. We were brought the glass collection back to my sister's house and very carefully packed it. There was 15 pieces within 3 boxes. We put double bubble wrap inside each box which covered the bottom and the sides. We wrapped each piece of glass in bubble wrap and put it in its own individual small hard box. We then took the small boxes and put them in the bigger boxes and folded the rest of the bubble wrap over the top. Then filled in any gaps inside the big boxes and the smaller boxes with air filled plastic. I sent the boxes to myself in Arizona along with 10 other boxes of items.

    I went to the UPS store in Streamwood Illinois on Barrington Rd and paid over $400.00 to ship all the boxes. When the boxes arrived on October 24, 2017 and I opened them, 10 out of the 15 pieces of the glass were shattered or broken. The boxes were marked fragile and showed visible damage to the outside as if they had been thrown. These glass pieces are irreplaceable. I called UPS an hour later to make a claim after I stopped crying. I was on the phone with UPS corporate office for 45 minutes giving them information. I asked for someone from UPS to please come look at how the pieces were packed and how badly they were shattered or broken. They refuse to have an inspector come out and look. I have called UPS corporate and the store location 19 times (all claims have to be submitted from the store you ship from to corporate). It is January 22, 2017 and my claim still has not been completed.

    UPS corporate pushes it back on the store. The store owner was great and sent UPS corporate a 33 page fax when he submitted the claim. He has called corporate many times. I will never use UPS again ever. Neither will my family. I am devastated at how careless UPS is and how they don't care. If the items that were broken were something else I wouldn't have been so upset. This blown glass collection was special, one of a kind and when I was a child I used to stand in front of my mother's China cabinet and look at the collection and how the sun would bounce off the colors. It was so beautiful. I am grieving from the loss of my mother and to have deal with this and UPS not taking care of my claim is just wrong.

    Oh and out of the other 10 boxes one of them had been opened stuffed with brown paper and taped back up way more than what I taped it. 2 items were taken out of that box. The claim for that has still not been taken care of by UPS. I want to try to replace the 10 pieces that were shattered and broken with pieces that are as close to what my mother had. I took pictures of everything, the shattered and broken pieces and all packing material. It is impossible for the pieces to have broke unless the boxes were thrown. They were packed so carefully. By the denting on the outside of the boxes that is clearly what happened. It's really sad that a company doesn't care about their customers. I am going to call our family attorney. I have a great case against UPS. I have attached a couple of pictures to show how careless UPS is. :(

Items had been rummaged through at some point, not the original store, but one of the UPS stores it went through along the way. My whole problem with this is #1 UPS charged extra for the ashes being shipped, #2 the fact the bag was sliced open when it could have been opened and closed securely and #3 these people are beyond ignorant when it comes to any common decency. This was absolutely their fault.

    An employee opened 2 boxes (not even just 1) and rummaged through things causing damage to photo frames, my mom's ceramic personal items broken into pieces, family heirlooms beyond repair covered in my mom's ashes!!!

    This is probably the worst company ever as far as customer service and service delivery. I cannot believe they are still around. Every single phone call no one thoroughly understands how to navigate their own UPS website - I even found several people who don't know what "accessorial charges" are that is listed on the website. They increase their rates 5% every year without an commensurate increase in services - I wish I could do that to my customers. They are like robots on the phone and forget about asking to speak to a manager or supervisor because they are incapable of making a decision and repeat the same script as their underlings.

    PAYMENTS. When you make payments online it takes about 24 hours to clear and shows up as payment pending on their own website but despite this they will suspend your account for non-payment. Then it takes 24-48 hours for your account to be reactivated which means that your payments can clear but they still may not re-activate your account - so in today's age of technology it appears the IT morons that work for a multi-billion dollar company like UPS they apparently never heard of system overrides.

    IMPACT on SMALL BUSINESSES and THE ECONOMY. With extremely increasing high rates UPS can have a negative impact on the economy and I am sure they have drive small businesses out of business (especially when suspended accounts will not be reactivated for 24-48 hours) which means that you cannot ship especially if you are in a remote location and not near a UPS store as an alternative.

    LOST PACKAGES. I have called UPS and told them to change my billing address to a new address at least 3 times and as of today my old address still shows up in their system depending on who you talk to. So customer returns have gone to the old address and I was able to get tracking information 3-4 months later - this has happened many times. In other situations shipments to customers have gotten lost or damaged.

    CUSTOMER SERVICE. This company has the worst customer service ever and it is hard to believe that these people have jobs. You are on hold forever while listening to horrible music - why don't they give you the option to not listen to that crap while you are on hold for such a long time. The other issue is you cannot understand what they are saying over the phone. I can only hope that for competition to teach this company a lesson because they realize that they are in a position of power to throw their weight around. So I have to reship and hope to get my product back. UPS DRIVER. The driver is very rude - he once told me he can find better product at Target. They show up at 3:00 which is way too early.

When it arrived, it was in a weak, broken and torn box. They had taken out the items and moved them to a new box -- almost completely inverted (so fragile items were on the bottom). Slides were out of the boxes, with some missing. Wood items were no longer wrapped and some of them scraped/damaged. When I called, they said I didn't declare a value so they would only give me $100. They did not care that they opened my box and were responsible for the damage. I would understand if they accidentally dropped it and something was slightly damaged.

    I don't even know where to begin. My experience using the UPS delivery service has been terrible, something that was supposed to take 1-2 business days took more than a week and never ever got what I wanted. I was getting a package shipped to me. It was supposed to come last Monday, I didn't realize I didn't give them buzzer number so after that I gave them it and they had the correct information and they said it will be delivered the next day. Well of course what do you know it wasn't, so I logged on UPS tracking and it said address may cause delay in delivery. So I called them and said that and they confirmed address and it was correct.

    Every day that week they said same thing but always had same address so after the 3 attempt they still never contacted me which if there's an issue you should. So today, which is Jan. 17, 2017 I was told it would be delivered between 12-2, I had a member of my family call in sick so they could stay home and receive my package and what do you know it never came. I called them and they said it will be delivered tomorrow after they already told me it would be today. So I am now completely furious and lost my patience because it has been a week and 3 days and have not gotten package. They will not let me change address and I even talk to supervisor and didn't do anything.

    I am so very disgusted in the customer service and shipping of UPS and I would never ever use your service again nor would I ever recommend anyone to either. I had to cancel my package because it was too much hassle and problems. You guys should resort in new workers for customer service and new delivery people because the ones you have suck and am a very pissed of customer UPS. You suck.

    If I could avoid using UPS for any of my packages I certainly would. I ordered a package and it gave me a date it would arrive. Since then it has changed its date three times. This morning at 2 am in a city only 13 minutes away from me. It's now 3pm and my package has just gotten near my house and saying it will be delivered tomorrow. I feel like people at UPS don't really care about the service they provide. This is honestly ridiculous and I would never recommend this company for any type of services.

    Went to UPS to return a package back to a company using my prepaid return label. Did not realize the label was for USPS & not UPS and apparently neither did the woman working there. She took my package and processed everything and said it was ready to be sent off. A month later, the company has not received the product back, UPS has not returned it to back to me and it's pretty much missing. Phoned UPS asking them about this. The woman was clueless herself and said it should have been returned to me. Well, I am still sitting here WITHOUT my package returned to me or delivered to the company. TOTAL NIGHTMARE!

    I dropped off a small package for overnight delivery to Canada on Dec 26, 2016. I was told that it would not go out till the 27th since the 26 was a holiday. The package arrived Jan 3, 2017 and it had to be picked up by my sister at a local station in Canada. Tracking the package, I found a delay on the front end while the package was still in US. It did not leave US until Dec 29, 2016. There was another delay at Canadian custom which I can understand. However, UPS, the local station and the corporate office would not even acknowledge that they were responsible for the delay on the US side and would not provide any refund at all. I paid $101 for overnight service but the delay on the US side caused a 2-days delay. I was only asking for the difference in credit for an overnight service vs a 3 day package delivery cost, AND GOT NOTHING BACK. Very disappointed with UPS and would not recommend the company to anyone.

    First of all sent package thru money mailer in Commerce, GA. The package came back destroyed. It was insured for 100.00 dollars. UPS refused to pay, said it was not package right. It was a UPS referral store. Even the owner refused to pay from what I heard that had a disgruntled employee who was fired. But still refused to pay it. Also the other day I went to ship a five pound box to California and said it would be ninety dollars to ship it. Gas prices are at a all time low. Why is it ninety dollars? Thank you Obama.

    All customer support issues go to the Philippines. You never get to talk to anyone whose first language is English. I also believe any email you get from them is a prewritten one from corporate. They just pick one that they think most closely fits. Also they will ask you to respond & give you an address of customerservicepr@ups.com but you must drop the pr. It does not seem the reps in the Philippines don't even know what UPS does in this country & as far as they are concerned Oregon might be next to Florida.

    My problem is last week they dropped a trailer in Roseburg, Oregon because of weather which I understand. Roseburg is NOT a sorting station. Evidently they forgot they dropped it there. I had another package with the same routing that obviously blew right by Roseburg & made it in time to get on the truck to make it back to Roseburg to get it to me. So a package that I ordered 2 days after the 1st one made it & the 1st one is still sitting in Portland now as they finally remembered the trailer they dropped.

    Every package in that trailer will be 5-6 days late & UPS will blame it on weather & not refund a dime of shipping costs to the customers they screwed. Amazon refunded my shipping but I'll bet UPS won't refund a dime to anybody & it was their mistake. Now Monday is a holiday so who knows it might be 6 days late. It seems UPS thinks they are too big to fail like the banks did but there won't be anybody to bail them out. My driver is great & does a good job but he does not have any support.

    Since I moved to my new address in the complex apartment 15 month ago, 3 of 4 UPS package delivered to wrong address other than the clear address of my apartment on the package. The UPS drivers in my 54311 zip code is very unreliable to the point my package dropped in front of any apartment but not to my clear address. Fortunately my neighbors used to bring the package to my door or if it big box package, they asked me to pick it up. The last package was small package with medication. The UPS driver delivered to wrong address on 01/11/2017. I communicated with UPS customer service to track the package where the driver dropped the package exactly.

    For 2 days kept communicated with customer service to know where exactly the driver dropped my package in or in front which apartment. Since no serious help from UPS customer service, I want to call 911 to reach out to the driver and can tell exactly where my medication package dropped. It is sad to see such big shipping company has such careless and unreliable service. Drivers in my area they do not care to drop the package to the exact clear address on the package. As I mentioned, this not one time incident. It happened 2 times within several months. I never miss a package when I use USPS postal service, not even one incident in the past 6 years lived in Crystal Lake complex.

    UPS has gone downhill these past few months to the point where I would rather ship USPS than them. In fact my 1st question when I am about to order something is..."how do you ship?" If UPS is my only option I say..."No Thanks." A couple recent examples... I was waiting for an order to be delivered (finally) on 1/3. My Choice said it was 'out for delivery' when I 1st checked that morning...home all day waiting...still 'out for delivery', finally at 8:40 pm I get thru to cust service... "It's out for delivery and we usually deliver by 7 pm"??? Point out it's 8:40 pm... ummm. "Well if it's not there by 9 pm call us in the morning." Seriously. Finally comes at 9:15 PM. How is that safe for the customer or driver? Needless to say, called the company I ordered from and told them my problems regarding shipping, told me "sorry...but that's who we use." Told them "Thanks for letting me know. I'll be taking you off my shopping list."

    Just last week I ordered something from Pier 1 to be shipped to my daughter in Orlando. I get an email from them that it's been shipped so go to tracking...no not UPS. Well I go to My Choice and put "it is to be delivered to the Management Office since it is an Apt complex." Guess what...they tried to deliver it to her at 7:17 PM last night, so the driver decides..."I'm taking it to the UPS store several miles away on 1 of the busiest roads by Disney." OH no you didn't...I immediately got on the phone, waited about 20 min before I finally got to talk to someone. She tried to say..."well, you can pick it up starting on Monday." I went off on "NO I was not picking it up. I paid for delivery to a certain address, which I am looking at online at this very moment and YOU did not perform that service. YOU are going to pick it up and deliver it to me as the service I PAID for."

    If your drivers cannot perform their duties that is your problem. I got transferred to a supervisor who said he was going to have it redelivered on Monday. Yeah, we'll see. As soon as I got off the phone with them I called Pier 1 and told them what was going on and that as long as that was their only shipping partner I would NOT be ordering anything form them in the future...and that my recent purchase could possibly be returning to them since there was NO WAY anyone was driving somewhere to pick up a package that I paid to have delivered to my daughter's apt.

    Two weeks before Christmas I arranged for UPS to pick up a package to return. UPS did not check the package they should have taken. Since it was holiday time, fedex had just dropped off a package. The fedex package contained $700 worth of Christmas clothing from Lord and Taylor for my family. UPS failed to knock on my door and decided to take the FedEx package. The driver put a sticker on that package and took it among himself to deliver it incorrectly to Amazon's warehouse in Las Vegas. I called UPS and they would not intercept the package. Even though it was their delivery error they told me to file a claim with Amazon. I called Amazon and they couldn't do anything because the package was not theirs and did not contain their content.

    I reported the same to UPS and asked to file a claim for a refund from UPS for falsely taking the fedex package. To date, which is about 6 weeks later, UPS is still trying to pass the buck to Amazon despite my 8 hours of phone with UPS. To date they have refused to compensate for my package despite sending them a receipt for proof of the goods. Their own office has tracked and evidenced that they picked up the wrong package and lost it! UPS has the worst service and is wholly unreliable. They don't care if they lost your holiday gifts and will make you jump through hoops for many weeks to try to get your money back even after they admit their fault. I am a lawyer. To date, UPS has failed to compensate me for my claim.

I Will Pick It Up", they say they can't because they don't know where it's at. If I call BEFORE it even gets to my city "because it has been delayed" they say they can't do that either and to wait until it gets to my city then call back. Contradicting huh? I have had one CS person tell me that "We are locating the driver now" and put me on hold for 45 minutes and get back on the line to tell me "We can't get ahold of him. We will keep trying and call you back". They never call back. So I call them, the next CS person tells me "Well they aren't even able to get ahold of the driver anyway so that was a lie".

    DO NOT TRUST THEM! They will LIE LIE LIE! I just got off the phone with them and since I have been dealing with them so long I was able to have prior conversations confuse them. I said "It's late and since I'm calling well before it gets to my city please put it on hold at next destination." She said "Well call us back when it gets to that city and we will see what we can do." I told them "No. I'm supposed to tell you AHEAD of time." Then she knew I was right and said "Well let me look... hmm... it has restrictions on it anyway. The shipper put a restriction on it to where it can only be delivered to the address". SO why didn't you tell me that before telling me to call back when it gets to the city? If you know some packages have restrictions and can't go anywhere else besides the delivery address that should be the first thing you look for. THEY WILL LIE AND PUT YOU ON HOLD!

    I shipped a box to myself January 6, 2017 from Michigan to Los Angeles, CA. The box was large, 31lbs and contained several contents from a jar, mug, board games, movies, college written essays, etc. The man at the counter put a strip of tape over the box. Today (January 12, 2017), the box arrived severely damaged with contents missing and an item in the box that I did not put in there... I have never even seen this item before and have no idea what it does.

    The entire side of the box was ripped open and taped back together. Inside, 2-3 movies were missing and more than half of my college written essays including a handwritten letter from my younger years. All of these are very important to me. I called and made a report and when I asked if anyone had made a note on when or where the box was damaged, they said no. So... a bundle of papers falls out of a box and nobody notices?? They are literally a STACK of papers. Not to mention the movies.

    The item that does not belong to me was from Healy Franklin Fueling Systems. Also in the Midwest. I'm assuming the damage happened somewhere in the Midwest. I can't believe UPS could be so careless and negligent. As of now, I'm hoping my documents appear sometime soon. I at least hope they are putting effort into looking.

It is as if he hates his job and takes it out on others. Yes, we were up late last night. Taking care of sick family members.

    My daughter's Godmother sent her a Christmas gift and one of UPS drivers open the package, took out her gift, had the NERVE to tape the package back up and had it delivered to her. She opens an empty envelope. The service has went to the all time low. I can remember when the driver brought your package if you weren't home. Whether you had to sign for it or not, they would leave a sticky receipt telling you where to pick your package up at. Now they just leave it at your door for someone else to take your package.

    We have a claim out with them now for my daughter's gift that one of their sorry, not trustworthy workers took. It goes to show no matter if you do background checks or not they will steal if they think or know they can get away with it. BUT I BELIEVE IN KARMA AND SHE DON'T DISCRIMINATE!

UPS used a different zip code than what was on the label and said address is undeliverable. Called 3 days to try to straighten out, then it said that it was at their facility for pick up. Foreigners man their phones and keep messing up. Before Christmas I sent cookies that after 4 days were delivered to me the sender. Sent out again and it took almost 2 weeks instead of 3 days to get there. No explanation. Another box took just as long for a 3 day ground time.

    If you get an email that says "A signature is required for package delivery" and a link that says "Sign Now", one would expect the link to take you someplace where you could sign for the package. One would be wrong. Doing so brought me to my account page with a difficulty to find link that said it would let me sign for the package. Clicking on it prompted me to enter my Shipping Account Number, which was unavailable in the email or anywhere on the website. My account number wasn't available either.

    Confused, I called customer service. I gave them my name, my email, and my phone number and they told me that my account doesn't exist despite that I was currently logged into it and looking at it. The representative said she would send me an email with my shipping account number in the next 15 minutes. I said thank you and goodbye. I received an email addressed to somebody named Ron, which isn't even close to my name, that prompted me to sign up for UPSChoice.

    I called customer support back, spoke to a woman who confirmed that my account didn't exist and could only use buzzlines talking about customer privacy related to not being able to give out account numbers and displayed no knowledge or understanding of the web site, electronic signatures, account setup, etc. I spoke to a manager who was actually quite nice. He told me to sign up for UPS choice and that would fix everything. I did that and nothing changed.

    When the local office called and recapped the situation the rep told it's probably with my neighbor. Like I should go get it. Thanks for the concern UPS! I told her basically to get the driver to get the package from where he left it and redeliver it. But after that “discussion” I called to complain about the driver the local office and to have the package wherever it was no sent back to the vendor.

    Let me start off by saying this company is a ** show. On Friday, January 6th, 2017 I had a package delivered to my apartment. I cleared my WHOLE DAY to wait for this package. It never came. I never got a call or notice saying it was attempted to be delivered, so I decided to wait until the following Monday to try again. I cleared my WHOLE schedule, once again to get this important package. I hand wrote 2 notes to put on the front and back doors of my apartment building for the driver to let them know I was home. The note included the name on the package, that I WAS HOME WAITING, and my phone number. I waited from 8 am to 3 pm for this package unable to go anywhere because I had no idea what time these imbeciles would come again.

    Around 3:30 I received an email stating my package was attempted to be delivered around noon. Now I worked for Amazon delivery therefore I know the driver is supposed to knock on the door, as well as call the customer if they do not have entrance to the building, which I got neither. No one decided to contact me at all. Nonetheless I made sure both entrances to the building were unlocked and my notes were still there. I then called customer service to explain my situation and how important this package was needed for the following day. My name and phone number was taken and I was assured I would get a call from the Shrewsbury facility where my package had been shipped out from.

    Well, 2 hours later I finally received a call stating that they would get ahold of the driver and have my package redelivered. I then got a call from Shrewsbury stating they could not redeliver my package. I called customer service again, at this point blood boiling and frustration through the roof. I spoke to 3 customer service representatives before being transferred to a "manager" who could not seem to help me either. Now, they want to tell me my only option is to drive 35 minutes from my house to pick up my package that I have already paid shipping and handling on because their baboon of an employee was too lazy to pick up the phone, follow protocol, dial 10 digits and tell me my package was trying to be delivered.

    Now being a former delivery driver for Amazon I have personally seen Supervisors drive their own personal vehicles to customers to make sure their packages were delivered on time, ESPECIALLY if it was for an important event. Now, as an unsatisfied customer none of these idiots did their job to fix my problem which was caused because one lazy employee couldn't spare the 5 extra seconds it takes to do their job correctly.

    Well this is the reason the post office is federally funded and employees need to take a test to work there, to avoid hiring incompetent people like these who I have painstakingly spent HOURS arguing with trying to get my package that I have paid for and have already cleared 2 days out of my schedule to wait for. I am utterly displeased with the service I have been given by UPS and I as an individual and taxpayer will not be using their services again.

UPS dropped it off at a local access point that shuttered its doors that day apparently and instead of actually taking responsibility and just replacing my order and next day shipping it to me this is their response. "We are going to open a case file. It will take eight business days". WTF! So eight more business days I have to wait so they can tell me that they can't get the package?

    At this point I am now 12 days without vitamins, supplements and protein powder. All of which I need to maintain my health. I can feel myself getting sick. I have lost weight and have constant headaches and pain now. And I have to wait another ten days until they admit fault? Sorry but I can't afford to spend another $500 on stuff because I am a disabled vet who lives on a fixed income and I just don't have cash to throw around. Point being I guess if you really need something and actually care when your package gets to you DO NOT USE UPS!

    Today, January 6, 2017 I left a package at my apartment door as directed by the seller to be picked up for return by UPS. I also left a note requesting a return receipt from the UPS driver. I saw the UPS driver park his truck in front of my building for a couple of minutes then drive off. Since this had happened before with this same UPS driver involving a pickup of an item I immediately called the apartment office which was his destination and requested that they inform him I needed a package to be picked up for return. The UPS driver never returned to pickup the parcel. When I called the apartment office to verify that they had relayed my message to the driver they told me they had, and that he told them that he had been to my address and did not see a package.

    I contacted UPS Customer Service and reported the incident. The UPS driver's supervisor got in touch with me and apologized for the failure to pick up the return and explained that the driver was not given the necessary labels to process the return and thought that he was missing a delivery parcel to my address. To this point, I had no complaint with the UPS incident reporting process. But to my surprise, I received an e-mail "Sorry We Missed You. We tried to deliver your package..." with a rescheduled date. Utter nonsense! I reported the pickup failure incident to the seller and submitted a rebuttal email to UPS. As a consumer, I have learned to follow-up delivery complaints with a report to the seller. Otherwise incidents of carrier failure can get hidden in misleading worded notices that go on the delivery record.

    Updated on 01/10/2017: After rescheduling one failed pickup by UPS the unimaginable has happened, the driver failed to pick up the package AGAIN. This started with my complaint to UPS on Friday, January 6, 2017 that their driver drove up to my apartment building, stopped briefly, and drove away. When I called my apartment complex office to track him and ask that he return to pick up my package, he told them he had been to my door and he did not see a package. He never came back.

    Long story short, a UPS supervisor ended up contacting me and apologizing that the driver realized he did not have the necessary labels to process my package for return. So the supervisor rescheduled the pickup for Monday, January 9, 2017. Today is early Tuesday January 10, 2017 and I am still waiting for that same pickup that did not happen yesterday, January 9th. According to my apartment complex office they got no UPS delivery service on Monday either.

    What has happened is a revelation about this carrier service. They fraudulently entered erroneous notes into the tracking record for the driver's failure to pick up my parcel as "we tried to deliver your package but missed you" on both occasions. This raises questions of fraud since each pickup attempt for this type of return is billable to the 3rd party payer. I inadvertently learned that my calls to UPS were being taken by a call center in The Philippines when I asked where they were located. Frustrating when you are dealing with a local delivery hub and driver. Bottom line for me is to keep the retailer apprised of the irregularities with UPS since they are the 3rd party payer for the service and this cost is ultimately absorbed by the consumer. I no longer see UPS as the brand they portray themselves to be. Extremely disappointed.

I got a call a week AFTER Christmas was over saying that not only had my package NOT even gotten there but they had just THROWN MY PACKAGE AWAY!!! Why wouldn't they just send it even if it was broken??? And why the call so late if it didn't even get to the destination??? I will never use UPS again.

    On December 10, 2016 I shipped a 49" LG 4K Smart LED TV from the UPS store in Orlando, Florida to my home in Auburn Hills Michigan. It arrived at my home on December 16, 2016. When I open the package a I discovered the TV had been hit so hard on the edge of the package that it broke through the styrofoam packaging and crushed the edge of the TV. I put a value of $750.00 on the TV when I shipped it. The TV was in the original packaging and I added additional styrofoam to the front, back and sides. I asked the store clerk if additional packaging was needed. They said no, that they ship TVs in original packages all the time.

    When I filed a claim with the UPS Damage Group they asked for pictures of the damage, the packaging and the box. They sent me an email confirming they had received the pictures and notified the shipper of the results of their inspection. They will not discuss with me their finding. The store claims they never heard from UPS. When they looked into it they said the claim was denied because I did not allow them to inspect the package or send them pictures, which is a total lie. They will not allow me to contact the claims adjuster or speak with anyone in authority to resolve the matter. I have since sent pictures to the store and will take the package to a UPS facility for them to inspect the package further. I have spent thousands of dollars in shipping and receiving packages from UPS over the years. I can't believe I am being treated like this. After reading other reviews, it seems that is how UPS works.

    On Wednesday, 12/07/2016 at 2:30 PM, UPS driver got off his truck with 2 small packages for delivery to me. I was standing in my driveway as he got off the truck almost yelling "we got a problem" waiving some papers in the air. I ask "what is it?" He talks loudly again. "You got a problem. You told them I delivered 2 packages I handed you 3 packages." I explained to him I only received 2 packages from 1 company & 1 from another company and was supposed to get 3 from helmets and only got 2. I told him it said on the online notice 4 packages to be delivered and I only got 3. He said "then you got your packages and are trying to place false claims." He accused me of trying to scam UPS and from now on I'll have to go to Leominster (15 miles away) to pick up my packages from now on.

    During this conversation, he was trying to show me the paperwork of deliveries but couldn't find it. He was very agitated and he was raising his voice. He had placed my packages he brought this time on the ground just before we started talking just after he got off the truck when it was apparent he was not going to hear anything I had to say and I was not going to stand there listening to him insulting me and threatening me about no delivers. One of my packages needed to be signed for. I asked him for the machine so I could sign he tells me NO I have to go to Leominster to pick them up. I said "like hell you're here now just give me my packages." He said "NO." So I bent down to pick them up. He knocked me down and took one of the packages back.

    I followed him around his truck yelling "give me my package" and he kept saying NO. I would have to go to Leominster to get it. A car had stopped to watch this. My wife was in the driveway with one of her friends watching this all unfold. He saw them then shoved the Machine at me and said "fine sign for it." As he left he was yelling something I didn't quite hear. But at this point I can only imagine it was a threat. I went in my house and reported it to Customer service. I was supposed to get 2 packages yesterday 12/20/2016. The manager of the Leominster facility said there will be no more deliveries to my home ever! Why do I have to be punished for the actions of this guy. Having to drive 15 miles away 3-4 times a week. My services should be restored. I do have reasons for legal action with witnesses but am trying to resolve this peacefully. Also I have a heart condition.

    I have lived at the same address for 30+ years and out of all of that time UPS has had one driver that could find the place. I have to do 5 mile radius check on the neighbors to see if they have my packages. Don't they have GPS? Google? Or are the drivers just too lazy to deliver? I have a package out now and no idea of where it is. I suppose the one driver that was able to find me has gotten his GED and moved on to a better job.

    Two months ago I purchased an historic item valued at $15,000. The shipper took it to a UPS Store and had it packaged there and insured for the full value from them. The item was picked up but never scanned. Though I was given a tracking number, it never worked, and for two days I kept calling UPS to see where the package was. They claimed it was not shipped!! From one of their own stores, packaged and shipped insured, and they say it never was shipped. I called and called and pestered and then, by some miracle, the tracking started working on the third day, and on the fourth, the package showed up.

    Fast forward to today. I am waiting on a bank document that was sent Priority Overnight on Friday. No delivery Monday due to holiday, and though guaranteed by Tuesday at 3pm, it never shows up. I look at the tracking this morning, and how it has been conveniently moved to Wednesday delivery-no explanation, and the person on the phone is as unhelpful as can be. How the ** does this company stay in business? Only because it competes with the USPS, which is worse, and Fedex which is way too expensive.

    For several years, I've noticed the overall decline in UPS service including, higher cost, horrible package handling, and SLOW delivery times. I have gone out of the way to order items from vendors that either offer alternative carriers or simply do not use UPS at all. FedEx ground residential delivery has become my top choice for years now. I have used them at five different residences in two states and the service has been consistently outstanding in every one of the aforementioned aspects. Ironically, FedEx is typically less expensive - my guess is that it's because their system is probably much more efficient. The fact that FedEx consistently delivers quicker, without issues, and at lower costs is proof.

    I first went to a UPS store to get details about why the package was undeliverable and returned to me. That particular store couldn't help me because that wasn't the store I originally used to send the package. This is a bad setup for UPS stores, not convenient to the customer. I was therefore given a UPS customer service number to call. The first time I called, the woman who answered tried to get me to go to the original UPS store that I sent the packages with. She eventually did her job and filed the claim that she was supposed to. Avoiding personal job responsibilities is TERRIBLE customer service. When she was done, she said that I would receive a call within 1 hour.

    The call didn't come within an hour. It came 3 hours later. Don't make a statement that you can't backup. I, in turn, called a 2nd time to follow-up. This woman was nicer and more direct about helping. She made the necessary documentations, but simply stated that the investigation was proceeding, so there was nothing to be done at the moment. When the customer service representative called back, they asked a few questions about the details and proceeded to talk. When she stopped, I asked a question, but she continued to talk (Again, not customer oriented. If you hear the customer talk, then stop and listen). I don't like to yell at all. She then tried to make it sound like I was rude for yelling. If I didn't yell, then she would have continued to talk without answering my question.

    She basically stated that UPS followed procedure to deliver the package, but they didn't even bother to leave a message when they called the recipient. This means they didn't even care about telling the recipient, so they left the package at the front desk without the recipient's knowledge. Their procedure allows UPS to not worry about the package and return the package to the sender after 5 days of sitting at the front desk. FYI, the recipient did not move and all the information matched properly. UPS gets the money without doing their best to provide a service. Serving customers can not be said as their primary priority.

I spent the entire Saturday looking through my window waiting for a truck that never arrived. I finally called Saturday evening since in the tracking it said that arrived to Dallas on Friday night 11:00 pm to find out I was talking to someone in Guatemala. UPS' all American Company customer service is outside the US, who told me that there was no Saturday sticker on the box and therefore it will be delivery on Tuesday. Heartbroken I wrote a complaint to UPS who finally responded today Tuesday.

    The person I talked to in Dallas tried at least to help and understood but sent me to customer support, where Breanne from Arizona at 10:37 am Central time told me she was sorry but it was the store's fault and they have nothing to do with it, that I needed to contact the store and ask for a refund to them because they just contracted with the store but UPS actually doesn't own the store that individual businesses and they are not responsible for their mistakes. Well when my kid's father went to the store was relying on UPS' ALL global ALL American company reputation to trust the presents for his children not some Joe dude owner of the store. Therefore UPS is indeed responsible for the sadness in my children faces feeling their dad didn't give them any presents when in fact he did.

    Needless to say that I will NEVER EVER Again send anything anywhere with UPS. They are unreliable, and they won't take responsibility for anything happening in any other stores carrying on UPS on them. I asked for a headquarter's number, nobody I talked to in UPS seems to know that info. They don't provide last names or anything. They don't feel sorry for what happened and they refuse to refund the $125 service fee. They fail to provide. Shame on them for so many reasons, employing outside workers, taking jobs away from our country, unreliable, irresponsible and they plain and simple show no empathy. No consideration. No care for their customers, all they say "here is the number of the store. You call them. You deal with this."

All 3 of the representatives, I spoke to, all admitted that UPS lost the package and had no way of locating the package. They told me to contact the shipper, I asked to speak to a manager, I was denied, I asked to speak to someone in the US, I was denied.

    I finally got in touch with the Urbancrest, Ohio location directly who were the only people that were remotely helpful. However, the person who "tracks down lost packages" was out on vacation until after the holidays.

    I took two folding commemorative sports chairs to the UPS office in Toronto to be shipped to the UK. One young kid in the shop said he couldn't pack it for me till later that day which was no good as I was flying to the USA at lunchtime but he said he could sell me the box etc and I could wrap it myself. He weighed the chairs and box and quoted me a price and left me to pack it myself in the middle of the store. An hour later I had it done and he weighed it again - this time the price was almost double but by this time I was out of options to paid the exorbitant price. He filled in the customs form which said they chairs were a freebie so had no value.

    A few days later when I was home in the UK I got a phone call from UPS UK asking about the contents of the box and the customs form and I told her exactly what I had told the kid in Toronto. Two days later UPS knock on the door and want 75 quid customs duty. Obviously I had to pay it, but I got in touch with UPS explained the problem and they told me to contact the Toronto store, which I did. A week later they sent an email saying the customs form had been incorrectly filled in and if I sent them proof of charges they would refund me the money. I did this, and since then have heard nothing from either UPS London or UPS Toronto.

    As a senior citizen I not only found the lack of packaging help initially far from good customer service but also the fact that the price almost doubled because - as I found out later - it is not only the weight but the size of the package. If the kid in Toronto had told me this I would have tried to make the box smaller. So all in all I have to say I found the whole UPS experience an absolute pain, and I am still waiting for someone, somewhere - ANYWHERE - to sort out this mess. Would I use them again? Don't make me laugh.

    Update on 01/02/2017: Having finally got a reply from both the UPS branch in Toronto and someone in customer services, The shop offered to refund 70 percent of the customs charges - great. BUT they demanded that I put my bank details in an email to them so they could do an international transfer. Now anyone will tell you that the first rule of online security is you never ever put your details in an email - so I asked for a refund on my credit card that I used to pay for the shipping. The reply is that their credit card machine will not let them do that!!! So now I am trying to think of another way of getting my refund - so far without any luck. The UPS customer service department in Canada has been very quiet regarding this. My advice to UPS Canada is to get their stores in order, because their excuses for both bad store service and even worse online service is pathetic.

    Ordered two identical items from the same company at the same time. Received shipping info on the first one the following day, second one the following day after that. First one was scheduled to be delivered on the 23rd and second was scheduled to be delivered on the 20th. Thought that was kinda weird but just assumed it was from two different warehouses. Received package number two on the correct date, checked tracking on package one and it now says "Shipping info not available. Try again later." Called the 1-800 number on the bottom of the page and I'm told the item "has been lost somehow". Agent confirmed the package was last scanned on 12/16 in California and hasn't been seen since.

    Ok first red flag, it's Christmas time and you have a package on a truck on the 16th and now it's gone but nobody notices by the 21st??? The agent's response is they have no way of knowing if it's missing. Transfers me to Oliver ** who claims to be a supervisor. "Oliver" tells me he can open up an investigation but it takes 1-8 business days. Umm no. That's not gonna work. This is a Christmas present for my 11 year old daughter. Great. Let me tell my kid on Christmas "sorry your gift isn't here but UPS said they're sorry for your frustration". Sure she'll understand. After 30 minutes with "Oliver" he's somehow able to find it in the system and locate my package. Calls me an hour later and says "We found the package (now in lost and found). We're going to overnight it. You'll have it tomorrow."

    Get an update from UPS of a new tracking number, it shows the package is being returned to original shipper. Call the 800 number again and agent confirms that I'm not receiving the item. It's going back to the shipper. Call the number that "Oliver" left on my voicemail and am fortunate enough to talk to "Morgan **". She tells me that there's no way that anyone could access the account and tell me where the package was at because "Oliver" didn't do his job and note in their system that it was supposed to come to my address not the shipper. When asked why the agent at UPS told me her computer shows it returning to the shipper her response was "she's not a trained investigator". So the untrained agent can tell me more than the "trained investigator".

    Finally after 20 minutes of back and forth with this wonderful woman she says "I'll try something that may not work." She comes back and says "I was able to access the system and can verify it's coming to your address in North Carolina." Umm nooo. I live in Louisiana. She says "yeah that's what I meant." I asked her how she was able to verify that it is coming to me when five minutes ago she's saying there is no way that ANYBODY can access that info. Her response was "I don't know why you're upset. I did what you asked me to do." Yeah I'm a little upset because first I'm told it's lost, then it's found and going to be overnighted to me, then it's being returned to the shipper, then nobody knows where it is, now it's found again??? Surely I can't be the one that sounds a little fishy too. Either there's some funny business going on or they really are 100% incompetent. Either way I'll never trust this company to handle any kind of shipping for me again.

    UPS changed address because they could not find address. They delivered package to a complete different address in another zip code. Instead of Malvern PA they delivered in Greensburg PA. Seems like they just wanted to get rid of package. They could have called supplier to find what they can do but stupid UPS CEO has not trained his people right.

    I am so disillusioned with UPS. A simple delivery, from Phoenix Arizona to Laughlin, Nevada. Golf clubs shipped Monday, December 5, to arrive in Laughlin Wednesday, Dec. 7. This is less than a 4 hour drive by vehicle. UPS driver picks up golf clubs, has the printed tracking label, and advises that he will put the label on the case, so it will be affixed properly. UPS sends clubs to Bullhead City Arizona. Excellent, Clubs arrive Dec 6 in Bullhead; final destination is a 20 minute drive across the river. However, from that point on, this tragedy of errors and service is unbelievable.

    December 8 clubs have not arrived at the hotel, and UPS "is looking for them". Reason: they say they can't read the label... maybe we, the client, put the label on wrong... Three days later; they find the golf clubs in Massachusetts! Now the story is the label is illegible... and they will ship them back to Nevada. However, it will take them until December 19 to get them back to Laughlin Nevada; the day after our Director of Golf leaves Nevada. 12 day golf trip, without his golf clubs. Request to UPS: please expedite the shipping back to Nevada, so our Director of Golf can at least bring the clubs back to Vancouver Canada with him. Nope, no can do... The reason: the label says Laughlin Nevada! (Yep, that same one that is either lost, not properly affixed, or illegible!) So, clubs arrive back in Laughlin, the day after client leaves. UPS: "no problem - we will get them to you right away."

    Clubs get picked up December 19, back to Bullhead City, Arizona, back to Phoenix, Arizona. And now, on the way to Canada. That's Nice... from Phoenix to Vancouver BC, a direct flight, about 3.5 hours; final destination, about 20 minutes from the Vancouver, BC, Canada, Airport. Should be here in time for the Boxing Day tournament. One would think... but, no, UPS has a different understanding of geography. The golf clubs leave Phoenix and arrive in Ontario, California... where they are shipped to.. not straight up the west coast to Vancouver BC, but, clear across the country, to Fredericton New Brunswick.

    UPS - this is unacceptable service, what makes it even worse - no one at UPS cares - they have not apologized, taken any responsibility or even make an attempt at good customer relations. I can't imagine what condition these golf clubs will be in. While packed extremely well in a hard travel case, the golf clubs have now traveled about 6000 miles in 15 days... for what should have been a trip of less than 4 hours. UPS - unacceptable.

    UPS transfers packages to your local USPS location and has no way of tracking the package once they've thrown it over the fence to them. My package was sent by the shipper 10 days ago and UPS transferred to the local post office on 6 days ago and I still do not have the package. So now it is lost, I am out the money and item and time. I will tell every company to not use UPS or else I will not order from them. Customer service was of no help. UPS should have staff available to follow packages through from beginning to end but they say there is no way for them to do that. Bad business practice.

    I just wanted to report on the customer service I received at the Depot branch in Lenexa on Friday 12-16-2016 at 4:30 PM. I had taken my packages in that I was sending four to be exact, I realized that I did not have the correct wallet, so I had to go home and get it. The man helping me was nice and said "I will put your packages aside and help you on return". When I returned 15 minutes later I walked in and maybe one other customer was there and employees one of them be the woman I am complaining about, she had auburn red hair glasses and it was in a ponytail in her 40s maybe. She was very rude to me obviously had no clue what I needed help with.

    After I told her, another employee said "oh I know where your packages are ma'am I will help you." He came around the register to pick up a package off the cart. In the meantime the woman employee goes behind the register he is helping me at to help another customer. The male employee helping me said " hey wait I am helping this young lady," and she said "well I didn't know, she confuses me". She proceeds over to another register with her customer and then proceeds talking about me with the other customer!!

    I have been in customer service for many years and that is no way to treat a customer!!! I told the nice young ** gentleman who was very good, that I did not appreciate her and how terrible her customer service skills are! This makes me never want to go to UPS and mail packages there again, plus it cost me $123.00 and some change to mail four boxes!! I do not have my order number with me. I do want to say that the ** gentleman was very helpful and was the only reason why I stayed!

    The last few years have seen a huge decline in the handling of packages across all delivery companies. It is getting really annoying to constantly have beat up packages delivered leaving you wondering if your item is intact. My most recent experience was ordering through Home Depot. I ordered a TV cabinet online and it was shipped via UPS to the store. When I picked it up, the box was heavily damaged from shipping. Unfortunately for me, two of the main parts had major damage. I now had to wait an additional two weeks for the company to send replacement parts. Again the packages showed up at my house beat up. Again, one of the parts had damage. Thankfully it's only cosmetic and I can use the cabinet, but when paying $600 for an item, you expect not to have to fix/hide damage.

    This isn't limited to UPS. Packages received from USPS and FedEx also typically arrive damaged. Generally people do not seem to take pride in their work anymore. It's just a paycheck and they don't care that someone has spent their hard earned money on what is in that package. God forbid you try to ship anything sentimental. Can we please rewind 20 years to when people had pride in their work and respected other's property?

    Package was not delivered because required signature, which was on a Thursday. Attempted delivery made again on Friday. Both attempted deliveries were at a ridiculous time, 11:30 a.m. Seriously? I have a job that I have to be at by 7 a.m., like most responsible people. They did not even bother to try a different delivery time. That was not my biggest issue. Called on Saturday to hold the packages at a UPS location, and specified THREE times to the person on the phone that I will be picking them up at the UPS location the following Monday. THREE TIMES!!! Monday comes around and I get an email that states that there was an attempted delivery at 11:30 a.m. I had specifically told them to hold the packages!!! I call UPS, and am told to wait an hour for a phone call that will tell me when I can pick up my package, because it on a truck somewhere. Never got the call.

    I call a second time and am told to wait 30 minutes because now my call is apparently more "urgent". More than thirty minutes pass and still no call. Finally a sane person answers the phone at UPS and opens a case that makes my package "extremely urgent". Told me to wait yet another hour for a phone call. Now it has been thirty minutes and still no call, but I'll wait the thirty minutes more. Somebody needs to send the management at UPS a dictionary because their definition of "urgent", and "customer service" is completely wrong.

Too hard for me to pick up. So when I finally picked up packages the gal at the UPS store dropped the box. I asked her "please don't throw my stuff," she replied "I'm not throwing your stuff."

While it can seem to have some benefits, UPS doesn't end up delivering on those promises. They are trying to sell you delivery times, vacation holds, etc etc... all for extra fees. Even if you do sign up... they don't end up being able to accomplish what they promise.

It arrived at UPS Commerce City, CO center on 11/26/2016. UPS status indicated attempted delivery on 12/01/2016, but package was NOT delivered. Reason: "The company name or receiver name is incorrect" -- then they changed it to "receiver has moved". (*NOTE: NO notice was left on any of the doors of attempted delivery -- they used to leave an "info notice" -- but no more).

    On 12/03/2016, UPS Status: "Delivery will be delayed by one day". On 12/05/2016, during daytime, I contacted UPS via chat, and I asked them what the ** was going on. They did not have a good excuse, but would reschedule delivery for 12/05/16. The online UPS status showed "out for delivery", so I waited up and stood vigil by the window until almost midnight -- NO UPS TRUCK AT ALL, day or night. On 12/06/2016, I contacted UPS again (by phone) and they said it would be re-scheduled for delivery on 12/06/2016. I again waited up till very late. STILL NO UPS TRUCK at all, day or night. I even put signs on all exterior doors, instructing the UPS driver to just leave the package (there was NO signature required). Still no package delivered.

    The saga continues. On 12/07/2016, with still no package, I called UPS again. They now classified status as "lost package". On 12/07/2016, UPS changed the status back to "receiver has moved" and the package is being "returned to sender" (Boy, that would be good name for a song!!!). Ironically, UPS then sent a notice via USPS to the exact same address that UPS would NOT delivery to, stating "receiver moved", and yes I did receive that notice via USPS. Can ANYONE see the UPS logic in this that USPS can deliver to the exact same address that UPS refuses to deliver to???

    What am I missing here with UPS refusing to deliver??? They no longer leave notices stuck on the door??? And on 12/09/2016, a UPS driver delivered a package to the exact same address, addressed to a person that has NEVER been here and left it on the doorstep??? Who is UPS outsourcing delivery to??? A bunch of morons??? After this experience and reading all the other almost exact complaints, I will never again use or recommend UPS unless absolutely necessary -- too many other better alternatives.

    We have been at the same address since 1999 and have had packages delivered by USPS, FedEx, UPS and others with no problems. Within the past six months or so UPS has either refused to deliver, or just returned the packages with absolutely NO notices left indicating "attempt to deliver".

I'm not happy at all and even though I got the Next Day Air Saver as a free option because the store was offering it it's the principle of UPS not following through on the guarantee.

    I recently sent a parcel and when I dropped it off and asked for a confirmation of parcel sent I was told that there is a two dollar charge for printing a receipt. I told the man that this is not fair as the shipping was paid by the supplier who provided the shipping label. All I wanted was proof that I sent the parcel and was not willing to pay 2 dollars for what I feel was a common business transaction. Very poor customer service and nothing but a money grab.

    UPS has stopped delivering packages to my house. Their system does not track. They claimed my UPS Choice preferences had been erased... When I checked, they were still there. Clearly there. There is no way to tell their system that you do not want packages delivered to an "Access Point". So, that's what they do, claiming that you are not home. Yesterday, I was home all day, writing. No driver came to my door. They lied about where the package was. I had to go to a mailbox store 2 miles away and stand in line to get my package. I complained to their phone line and then to the local office. No one will do anything.

    MY SUSPICION is that this is a PLOY to get us to join their "Prime" membership. I will not pay them extra to not hold my packages hostage. INSTEAD, I will ask each retailer from here on what carrier will deliver my package. If they say UPS, I will not place the order. I urge all retailers -- especially if you have a national reach -- to forgo using UPS. Maybe then they would decide to run their business right.

    Ordered a platform oak queen bed from Home Depot. It was shipped in 2 packages, 1 weighing 80lbs and one weighing 64lbs. Initial tracking showed scheduled for delivery 12/6 and Status "In transit" (which was defined as scheduled delivery between 9 am - 7pm). The UPS driver pulled up at 1155 am in front of house, then just drove off. I chased him down the street where he stopped and said he had my address but the packages were not on the truck. I called UPS and did not get a call back in the hour promised. I emailed UPS and did not get a response in the 4 hours promised. I live chatted and was finally told package was left behind because it would not fit on the truck because of volumes of xmas deliveries. I ordered this Nov 30 by the way. The chat help said it would be rescheduled for 12/7 end of day. I saw the UPS truck pull up across the street, nothing for me however.

    I had to use Live-chat again for help as the tracking continued to remain at "in Transit" at 630 PM. The help chat said again, due to volume it would be rescheduled for 12/8. Same story, 12/8 UPS stops again across the street 1150 am, nothing for me however. I received a 'auto response' to my emails that just stated, "Sorry for delay and because of delivery loads, keep using online tracking." So, again no show on 12/8. The tracking definition is the SAME exact Definition for "In Transit" and "Out for Delivery". Stating it has been processed for its final destination and scheduled for delivery between 9a - 7 pm and can run later. The status on my delivery NEVER changes from "In Transit" from Ontario Center NOR does it show Delayed and appears as if the "new" delivery date has always been the date as shown.

    So NOW the delivery date is supposed to be 12/9 and here I sit at 402 pm, UPS driver stopped this morning across the street but had no packages for MY address. I am sick of this waiting and wonder if the drivers are just too weak to lift the packages. I have been waiting on the porch for them to open my garage so they do not have to maneuver to the front door. I called Home Depot about my delivery 'problem' as well, since they PAY for shipping and are likely a HUGE UPS client, I hoped perhaps they might have better 'pull' in escalating my delivery to a supervisor at UPS, but they came back with the same answer and I know the Home Depot help went no further than to check UPS status website as well.

    I am highly frustrated and very upset at the lack of personal attention UPS gives its customers and can't seem to get a handle on where exactly the packages are and why they are being held up for such a long time. The work volumes are not going to get any lighter, as xmas is getting closer. I am tempted to cancel this entire order just out of sheer frustration of not getting anyone at a higher supervisory position to help me at UPS... It's all canned and scripted answers.

    I paid for Next Day Air on Dec. 6 and was told I would be receiving my order on the 8th... Today is the 9th, but I haven't received it yet. I would get a confirmation stating it would get delivered, but hours later, they would send me another message "Delivery due to operating conditions, your package may be delayed. Delivery will be rescheduled." I also have a few orders that hasn't got delivered as well. Keep on getting the same message within the past few days that my order is "On Vehicle for Delivery Today" but hours later... "DELIVERY WILL BE RESCHEDULED or INFORMATION UNAVAILABLE". It's very frustrating.

    I had to send out Christmas gifts to family! Delivering to different parts of Maine and Hawaii! Kimberly was the individual who took care of me. Of course other customers were in and out while I was there also! She was extremely professional and suggested a choice of prices and time of arrival! Which is very stressful for myself at this time! She handled everything in such a short time! Thank-you UPS for hiring Kimberly, you should have her train others! Very wonderful experience!

    These guys basically use usps in backend to do their work. There is no point of using ups anymore. Usps is the one who does all work. You basically pay ups as middle man and make your life miserable. This company should be awarded to be more awful company in this year.

    UPS has recently changed to text alerts. Great concept. More times than less is there any problems. There is a new program to sign up for in order to keep in constant communication with delivery... access point, emails, and text alerts great idea.

    1st packed delivery to somewhere. Lost. But UPS website say left at my front door. My camera show no UPS man at all. I don't 2nd packed lost again. (Day 2) So I change delivery to UPS access point, then I will pick up from there (same city at Anaheim). (Day 3) That night, packed already at UPS Anaheim just wait for delivery tomorrow. (Day 4) The day after UPS move my packed to other city and schedule delivery for after one more day. (Day 5) They move packed back to Anaheim. (Day 6) Packed ready for pick up at UPS access point. What do you think when I paid for 3 days delivery. Then they took 6 business day (plus 2 days weekend is 8 days) for delivery without refund my money! USPS and FedEx never happen like that! The 1st packed get lost. I make claim and waiting for their response!
