I am a UPS "My Choice" customer. I ordered a computer from a company that used UPS so I used "My Choice" to schedule a drop off at a UPS Access Point facility because of signature being required. I also checked to receive notices through text. Not only did I not receive texts to inform me of delivery, but UPS delivered the package to my address. When I called UPS last night, I was THEN told that the Access Point location would not accept the package because it requires a signature (???) Well, even if it does, why can't the Access Point location hold it for me to sign??? I then stated I work full time and need the delivery around 6pm. Today, delivery attempted at 2:02pm. Called again and immediately asked for supervisor - took 19 minutes before one came on the line.
Tried to change pick up to a UPS Store and did it before 7pm - which is supposedly one of the options on the back of their notice of delivery - couldn't do it online and asked why. The supervisor had no reasonable response except that I had to pick up in Rocklin if I miss the 3rd attempt - making my commute approximately 2 hours tomorrow evening. I then asked why my request for 6pm delivery was ignored and she said she would "try" to contact facility in Rocklin to attempt another delivery tonight - been waiting 20 minutes for her to return from hold (& HORRIBLE 70's instrumentals "music"/noise). I'm sure that's not going to happen either. And just confirmed it's not going to happen. Horrible service.

Delivery of item purchased from Macy's scheduled for 12/6. On 12/6 PM learned due to volume item was bumped to 12/7. 12/7 came and went and no delivery, and no communication from UPS to indicate such. Now delivery is anyone's guess, and Macy's will not cancel order because it is out for delivery. I'm now out over $400.00.

I have shipped with ups also USPS and by far UPS beats USPS by miles. I usually get my shipments on time. I know it is more expensive to ship with UPS - it is worth it. I have sent packages with USPS to save money or so I thought and I ended up losing 2 packages which I had investigated and got no where. I will spend extra to send my packages by UPS. You rock UPS.

UPS is possibly the most inflexible and inconvenient delivery service I have experienced. I signed up for My UPS so I could receive text messages regarding delivery updates, change delivery options etc. I entered our vacation dates on their scheduler so they knew not to deliver during that time, but they scheduled a delivery on one of those days anyway. When I changed the delivery date they charged me for the change. I waited the entire day on the new delivery date (I barely even went to the bathroom for fear I wouldn't be able to get to the door!) but they never came and never texted to say they wouldn't deliver.
I called to change the delivery date again and complain about being charged, so they changed the delivery date and said they would waive the second charge for the change that I had to make due to their mistake. They then sent me a text saying they would deliver on the new date between 11:30 and 3:30 but the day has come and I have no text message to update me on the delivery. The online tracker now lists the time for delivery is "by end of day" (7:00 p.m. for residential addresses). When I called customer service the response was "sorry but it will come today by 7:00 p.m."; there was NO real information or concession for their mistakes.
UPS only delivers Monday to Friday; if you must sign for your package they will only leave it for pick up at ONE outlet (which for me is not even close to being a convenient location). If your workplace does not accept personal packages for you or your neighbours work during the day you cannot use the option for another delivery address. Their "estimated delivery time" is irrelevant, since 11:30-3:30 actually means 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If they have missed a previous delivery due to their error they will not put your delivery on the top of their delivery list (early in the day) or even give you a smaller delivery time window.
In my experience UPS does not do what it says it will do and does not give its customer service agents the authority or ability to make it right. I have put in a formal complaint with RBC Rewards since I find it difficult to believe RBC has never had negative feedback about UPS before; I have talked to others who have similar complaints about UPS. For me the lack of good service from UPS reflects poorly on RBC as well, and we will likely not redeem points with merchandise anymore simply because of the delivery method.

For years, because UPS has not wanted to deliver packages down my sandy driveway they have delivered my packages to a company down the street. This wasn't a problem, although I began to get the feeling that they were getting annoyed at this process. I then began only having packages sent to my house on occasion. Then I ordered some Christmas items from Kohl's which was delivered in 4 different boxes. One the post office delivered. The others I waited for, and waited for. When 14 days since I made the purchase passed, I looked up the tracking and this is what it said: "Receiver to pick package up." Yet, nobody contacted me. The same day they posted a note that the package was undeliverable due to the incorrect address. They know my address as I recently saw a truck go down the road recently and it's on Google Maps.
I contacted Kohl's and found out they'd been notified the packages were being sent back. When I called to complain, all they said was the sender needed to include a telephone number, nothing more. The least they could've done was sent a postcard, but to note in their records an implication that they had contacted me and I said I'd pick the package up was wrong. And to say the package isn't deliverable was wrong. FedEx doesn't have a problem finding my address. And I've even had prescriptions delivered by a very small express delivery company. My belief is that they just didn't want to deal with it so they sent it back and I am just angry. This is a stressful time of year and they just added to my stress and the stress of folks at Kohl's who are just trying to keep up with holiday shipments. From how on I'm going to request my deliveries be made by FedEx.

I will never use the services of UPS again, and this is why. I was expecting a delivery for an order I placed with a company in California on December 2, 2016. The package was late in arriving, and when it finally arrived on December 5th it required a signature, which wasn't listed anywhere on the UPS tracking screen. Anyway I wasn't available for the first pick up as I am a school teacher and don't usually get home before 4, okay I had no issues with receiving the package on the following work day (Tuesday). So I had my mother come to my home to wait for the delivery on the following day, as I had to teach all day, and I needed to prepare for a business trip on the following day which would put me out of town for a week and unable to receive the package, which I needed for my trip.
My mother waited all day for delivery, when I arrived at 4:30 to relieve my mother, I called UPS and was told the package was on the truck and would be delivered to me by 7:00 p.m. that evening. So I continued to wait, 8:00 pm I called again, they said "maybe the driver still has packages to deliver and he should be to you by 9. 9 turn into 9:30," this time when I called I received a recording that the delivery would occur on the next day when I'm out of town.
I was livid in that on their document, which serves as a contract between the customer and the company, they've stated next day delivery, which didn't happen. As mentioned, I needed the item in the package for my business trip this morning, and all UPS customer service could say to me was "I'm sorry," not good enough. I gave them my work address to see if they could have it delivered before my plane departure this afternoon, the response was "this will take 48 hours for us tor re-route the package." This is really bad business and I vow to never use UPS again!

I heard a noise at door went to door. The big box UPS just dropped, was my office chair I ordered. Box clearly damaged, parts sticking out and UPS driver just thought he drop it like that and take off, got him to stop and told him "see it's damaged." I don't want that like that, so he took it. I read on UPS site his return report, he wrote I did not want the product and returned it - an outright lie, nothing about returned damaged item, and UPS won't correct it. I called twice. Guess UPS wants their delivery fees from shipper, was fingerhut. I notified them of course and called UPS that's their policy they won't correct the writing that it was returned delivery was damaged, and can't believe ups would even try to deliver this in this condition.

I received an email on 12/05/16 about a package being delivered 12/06/16 between the hours of 2:30-6:30. I was home and no one came and I also got a email saying that they missed me around 7:30. No one rang my doorbell that has a camera for this very reason, nor did they leave a slip on the door. Very poor customer service.

Seems to be the one most used. I shop a lot online and it seem most companies use this shipping company. I like it because I have never had a problem with my packages and delivery has always been on time. I would like the price to go down but I'm sure that is not going to happen.

Not often do I run across poor customer service and poor business excuses, but UPS has proven to be the worst parcel service provider ever. I have had nothing but excuse after excuse from them. I have three packages that I've been waiting on and every time I contact Customer Service their excuse is that the holidays are the cause of late deliveries. I asked if this was the first time they've encountered this dilemma and their answer was no. I then asked them that if they knew this was something they've encountered every year why not put a plan into place? "After all customer service should be your main focus." No answer other than "We're sorry for your inconvenience."

I am still shaking... I heard my dogs barking and went to the front door, and it was the UPS man, bringing a delivery. I tried to keep my dogs back, because the package delivery required a signature. The dogs slipped out around my legs, and barked at the delivery man, on the front porch. He proceeded to yell at me, and accused me of letting them out, "WHY DID YOU DO THAT!!!" I apologized numerous times, and told him my dogs have never bit anyone, and that they slipped past me.
I apologized again, and told him that they slipped past me, and I was very, very sorry... He kept yelling at me and, while I felt terrible about my culpability in the situation, I am absolutely mortified that he accused me of deliberately setting my dogs on him. He zoomed up my street, after a parting yell, "WOULD YOU JUST PLEASE SIGN THIS SO I CAN GET OUT OF HERE?" It's almost a half hour later, and I can't stop the tears and chest pains that accompanied this stressful situation. I don't ever want to use UPS again.

I ordered a computer from Refurb4Less order number **. It was shipped on Nov 25, 16. UPS sent me an e-mail stating the delivery would be on Dec 2 but then they changed the delivery to the 1st so I arranged to be home by taking a day off from work UPS then emailed and rescheduled delivery for the 2nd which conflicted with someone being able to receive the package. I called and spoke to supervisor Harry who notified them to reschedule where to send the package now to my office so I could receive it. Harry in their office made an error and had the package held at their pick up facility. When he asked if I wanted it held I told him that was not an option. I did not have transportation to Orlando and I am unable to pick up so please send to my office instead. The package did not arrive so I called again. This time I spoke to supervisor James who told me he would take care of it but it would now be Monday the 5th before I could receive it.
Monday the 5th came and still no delivery so this morning I called and spoke to supervisor Erin. I spoke to this supervisor this morning and she said even though it is their own error they cannot fix it so they cannot deliver my package. I requested to speak to someone who could get this done and she refused to pass me to anyone else. She said I would get a call from Kim at 9 which has now come and passed with no response.. I am furious. I have been nothing but respectful. I cannot not get them to let me talk to anyone who will get things done. They have lied and lied and lied. NEVER USE UPS!!! I have sent two emails last night and was told someone would respond within 4 hours and I did not get a response from them either. The tracking number is **. I am uploading email correspondence and receipt of purchase from Refurb4Less showing package was shipped on 11/25/16.

I will never use UPS. Ever promise me I mean that when I say that. I have never had the worst experience from a shipping company. I was supposed to receive a package and sign for it, they notified by email since I had notifications setup that my package would be delivered on Thursday so I took the day off so I could sign for it. I waited all day and no package so I contacted them very upset. They guaranteed me it arrive the next day. Well Friday comes with a notification the package was on the truck out for delivery and again waited all day and no package. Again I contacted them again this time livid with their ** of making me wait all day again. This time I even emailed them a complaint about not getting the package. They emailed me back and said the package would be delivered Saturday... Again I wait all day and no package. Now I am totally done with UPS. Waited all day and no package.
They sent me emails all three days around 8 and 9 at night and 3 in the morning saying the package was being delayed. I then they said the package would be delivered between 2 and 6 on Monday and I waited all day again and no package till the last minute. I say they are worthless and only will use FedEx and USPS but never again UPS. You suck and your customer service is even worse.

They then told me that the driver came by my business at 5:30pm and said that we were closed. NOTTT. My business is open 24 hrs a day. I was in front of my door talking to business neighbors from 4:40. Till then also he never left a sticker lying **. Well now they told me after calling them over 5 times that I will have to travel 40min on the other side of town to pick up my package from the distribution center. Join me.

This Black Friday I had the misfortune of every single one of my packages being shipped via UPS. 4 out of the 7 packages have been delayed. Packages that were shipped from about 45 minutes from where I live have taken over 2 weeks to deliver, and I still haven't received them. Shame on websites that claim that 2-4 day shipping, then ship with UPS. It's a surefire way of your package coming in long over a week.
UPS is the only delivery service that has completely lost my packages and refused to acknowledge their mistake. Instead, they make you circle around in an extremely complicated claims process where they'll repeatedly tell you that you can't do anything and that you need to contact the shipper because it's not UPS's responsibility. Then when you contact the shipper, they'll tell you that because UPS has the package, it's their responsibility. You'll be tangled into a web so complicated that you wish you could just light UPS on fire. If you can choose, do yourself a favor and choose FedEx, Amazon delivery, USPS, Ontrac, ANYONE EXCEPT UPS!!! Their pick up locations are extremely inconvenient, I didn't realize I was paying for shipping only for me to deliver my own package to myself.

UPS is making it impossible for me to receive my packages. Unless I quit my job and sit at home all day waiting, I will not get them. I had several packages (which included Christmas gifts) that were to be held for pickup at a local UPS location. I used their online delivery change system to have them hold it at the location. I work FT so there is no way I can come pick it up right away. Some of my items were delivered to the location on Monday 11/28. They were marked "refused" and sent back to the shipper. I didn't even have a chance to come get them! I went on Friday 12/2 and they were gone. I was told the driver "decided to put the packages back on the truck and return them". Why he would do this is unfathomable. Some packages were delivered later in the week and I even received emails saying I had until 12/5 or 12/8 to come pick them up but they had already been shipped back.
I emailed UPS customer service and they told me it shows that they were refused and returned to shipper within "hours". Hours? So I was expected to come pick up the packages as soon as they arrived? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of "hold for pickup"? It has turned into a nightmare for me because now with only a few weeks to Christmas, I'm finding that most if not all of the gifts I ordered online have been returned to the shipper without even being at the UPS location for a full day. It's like the UPS drivers and/or this UPS location are playing a cruel joke on everyone for Christmas. Or maybe it's just my location which is right by my house. I guess I'll have to drive farther to another location that's not as convenient.
Customer service does not seem concerned, just telling me to call them if it happens again. OK, it cannot happen again. These are Christmas gifts. I'm going to run out of time and the shippers are going to run out of stock if they have to keep re-sending them to me (they have to go through the return process and make a new order). I asked them to contact this specific UPS location but they do not want to unless this happens again. They need to contact them now and tell them they are not allowed to mark a package as refused if it has been less than 5 days.

My claimed was taken for granted. I didn't get any calls apologizing for punching my shipment and breaking my item in the shipment (got it on video). Over the years of using this company, I have had nothing but bad things happen one after another. I just don't have any more trust in them nor do I wish to have business with them. There has been plenty of times where I have caught the driver on my route to mess up my shipment, as in hit it with his fist in an intention to break my items. Just 3 days ago, my shipment was late, 2 days. I was supposed to get it on a Wednesday I end up getting my item till Saturday. I was told that it was a technical error. Customer service told me it was because of the flooding happening in the East Coast. And lastly the manager on duty at that time told me that Amazon had never sent the item. 3 stories 1 company. UPS they really need to get their facts straight.

I have never used UPS before to ship my packages. This was the first time and I HATED it! I shipped with next day air service guaranteed by 10:30am and guess what - it's been 3 days and I don't know where my package is. Called customer service couple of times and they are bunch of lazy people to call. They won't even bother to find out where the package is. Those were really important documents and were suppose to get to a business by Thursday morning (I shipped on Wednesday). Now that it's Saturday no sign of my package. All it says is arrival scan (2 days ago in NY) and the expected delivery date is not available. You got to be kidding me! I have a flight to catch in couple of days and those documents were something that I need in order for me to travel. I shipped it with a return label but guess I would need to cancel that, ask the business that I sent my documents to, to ship me via FedEx only a biggggg ONLY if they will find my package.
I am just freaking out. I should've gone with FedEx! UPS needs to be SHUT down seriously. All the customer service was offering me was a refund ($42). I don't need that. I need my damn documents. I paid that much so they can get it the next day. WTF UPS!!! Guess I will be calling them again tomorrow. Urrgghh. Ruined my entire weekend! So damn pissed!

When I ordered from Amazon, I was forced to use UPS. I now always contact Amazon and ask for a different shipper every time. It is that bad, I recommend you do the same. I ordered 3 different packages. First one, I got an email from Amazon (not UPS of course) telling me they gave me a refund and the shipment I ordered would not be coming. Second one, they lost it and I had to contact Amazon for a refund. When I reordered, I made sure to ask for USPS or FedEx.
This one I am still awaiting the results. It says it will be delayed but at least this time they told me it would and early, unlike the others which still say arriving at 8 PM and that was 3 hours ago. Website is trash. It looks like trash and needs an update, not user-friendly. Also, it says "live chat" but it doesn't work, it just brings you to FAQ's. I have mentioned this before but lack of communication. Never did I get an email from the apologizing or even acknowledging what happened. I hope Amazon gets rid of them soon.

Has anyone actually received a package from UPS? I was trying to contact them for a week! 2-3 hour hold times. Must be a lot of people complaining. I finally get on the phone, and the rep rushes me off within 2 minutes. "Call the sender, sorry. Bye." I'm pretty sure I called the sender, which is why I'm calling you. Hello? What kind of disrespectful crap is that?
Today is FRIDAY! I've been trying to contact them since Tuesday. I'll be on hold for 2-3 hours before the call drops. I'm very disappointed, and I cannot believe how hard it is to get in contact with them, and how easy it is to be dismissed. When I called the sender (the company I ordered a MATTRESS FROM), they said that the product was lost in transit. How do you lose a MATTRESS UPS? Oh, and they verified that the tracking number I had was indeed correct.
I asked the company if they could change the delivery service, but unfortunately this is who they're contracted with. I even wrote a letter to this company suggesting them to change who they give business to. Guess I'll be on the floor for another month. TLDR: 3 days to contact them, 2-3 hour hold times. Rep was rude, and rushed me off the phone. LOST A MATTRESS.

Three times in the last few months UPS has failed to live up to my expectations as a leading shipping provider for my business. The first instance we had a package overnighted to us from California and paid a hefty sum to do so. When it didn't arrive the next day we called to find out what was going on. After talking to several different customer service representatives we finally found out that our package was sent to Indianola, Iowa instead of Indianapolis, Indiana. The package was addressed properly when we finally received it, three days after it was supposed to be delivered. The second instance a package that was supposed to be delivered next day as well somehow didn't make it onto the truck that morning and we had to go pick it up at their main hub location.
The third and most recent instance is still ongoing. We have a package out there somewhere that was supposed to be delivered yesterday. The package did not come. We just saw our UPS driver drive by our store without stopping, so we called to inquire what was going on. Apparently our package is missing and they have to do an investigation that takes up to 8 business days! In every one of these cases our business and customers have suffered because UPS can't deliver the packages on time. We do a lot of shipping and receiving and have never had a problem with either USPS or FedEx. UPS continues to disappoint and cost us money and frustration. If you have a business that requires timely and accurate shipping, do NOT go with UPS.

If you're waiting for a delivery that is anywhere near the window that UPS provides, you are going to be sadly disappointed. They do not adhere to that window in any respect whatsoever.

Good service. I am, as many people, addicted to my online shopping. I've gotten to know the delivery man like most people know the mailman. What I like about UPS is you can create an online account and easily know where all your packages are at any given time. I've never had a package go missing like I had with the post office. Besides receiving, I also like to use UPS for all my sending. All who buy clothes online are familiar with the return process. Often these things are shipped in plastic bags that I rip off when opening, then regret and wish I had been more careful opening. No problem, my local UPS store has all the packaging and can recommend the containers and even pack for you. Plus you are usually not far from a UPS store.

I shipped several other boxes that day and they arrived, beat up as expected, but I packed well knowing their reputation. I shipped even more via the post office and saved some money mailing things with more sentimental value. Little did I know I would be wishing I'd driven from So. CA to NH to collect this rug. I was Sorry.
They discarded the box, apparently to prevent anyone from seeing it had been cut open. They supposedly investigated the driver, but if there was even a phone call made, it wasn't documented or even confirmed. It all sounded like they were giving me prerecorded answers. Talking to a person who had worked for them, he doubted anyone ever took one step to help and went further to say that customers only get compensation if they never stop and have their receipts. Sorry. I got a major run around and called all the lost package centers and every single person I spoke to in person or on the phone said the same thing. Sorry. That was it. No offer to help. Sorry. All very programmed. Again, Sorry.
One thing everyone needs to know. In order to get compensation for any lost package, even if you've paid for insurance, you need to have the original receipt for everything. No receipt. Sorry. No exception. Sorry. If you ship something of value, you risk losing it. You will be Sorry. The company has a firewall around them. The UPS store is not to blame if a UPS driver steals your package. You have to sue the store, not UPS. Talk about a screw job if you own a store when UPS bought that chain. UPS is not Sorry.
My recommendation is ship with the post office if possible. Or use a mover if you are shipping something large. Even Greyhound bus line can accept some big items and it gets there. I've never had huge issues with anyone but UPS. They take great care to prevent you from being compensated. The United Package Smashers Facebook page was even taken down. Don't want the masses coming together to figure out how to take them down. UPS is really not Sorry.
Shipping cost was $143.45 plus cost of $22.45 for boxes. I got no refund. Sorry. Included the screen shot of scan of photo of the rug. Comparable rugs go for $5k as it was 60 years old and in exceptional condition. I have a handwritten note my mother wrote when her rug dealer friend came to do an informal appraisal, it reads 1940-50s Heriz Persian from N. Iran estimated at $2500 in 1982 or '84. That doesn't count as a receipt. Sorry. This all happened in 2010 and I spoke with half a dozen lawyers at the time and no one seemed interested. One mentioned having to pull together a class action suit in order to get anywhere. I won't live long enough to see that come to fruition. If I thought there was hope, I'd click the box to have a lawyer contact me. If I have one regret in life and this is it. Sorry.

The freight comes in damage-free and on time. The drivers are friendly and will accommodate me when I need a special pick-up.

They could lower their prices to be competitive and take a little extra care when shipping/loading to avoid damage. Their speed is fantastic until they are required to hand off to U.S. Post Office. The drivers really make the company great. I really love UPS. They get a bad rap sometimes because the shipper makes an arrangement for them to hand off to local post offices for final delivery and it adds 3 days to delivery. I wish the shippers would just stay with UPS all the way through. I know I will always get my package quickly with them. And the delivery staff is always kind.

After dealing and having the worst experience with UPS today (11-25-16) I will not ever use or request their services again... I ordered 2 item online and had requested them to be shipped via UPS and got an email a few hours later with scheduled delivery date. On 11-23-16 only 1 package arrived, so I called UPS regarding the second package and was told that the package would be delivered 11-25-16 due to it being overlooked and not put on truck for delivery. So I said fine I'll wait, I'm gonna be home all day Friday. It works out... Wrong!!
The package never arrived, instead I got an email stating that the delivery was rescheduled... No date?? So I called UPS to ask what was the hold up and was told the package was still at the warehouse and not in route as posted on the UPS tracking site. Ok... I asked if I could pick up my package instead of playing the waiting game with UPS, the rep said yes.
After giving him my tracking number he said "let me put this request in and you will receive a call in a few minutes giving you a pick up time"... I got the call and was told to be there at 8:00 pm to pick up my package. After arriving and signing in at 8:12 pm and waited till 10:34... I was told the package was on the delivery truck and was not available for pick up until Monday.
I asked why wasn't it delivered then?? Why was I told I could get it at the pick up location?? Why is the package being held until Monday?? After asking these questions the clerk looked at me and said "Have a good evening sir" and never answered my questions... Angry at this point and raising my voice because I was getting nowhere with him. I was asked by the Mesquite police officer on duty there to calm down and be respectful... even though every question I asked was answered with "Come Back Monday and ask the clerk working the counter, he or she can answer your questions". I will never use ups again and will spread the word to everyone I know about the bad service I received and witnessed while I waited over 2 and a half hours at the ups location 4200 Samuell blvd in Mesquite TX.

Trying to be brief: Placed order, shipped to apartment building and for some reason UPS can't get in when every other delivery service can. So they left a note. I called and scheduled to pick it up myself from warehouse. I arrived before driver. After an hour wait they told me they've put it on another truck for redelivery 3 days from now. Again while I am at work so another missed delivery note is expected. And for what? How do I get my package? They couldn't tell me. I got customer service on the line, after another 40 minutes with them, I asked for a supervisor to file a complaint with, another 15 minutes of hold time before the call ended. No complaint was able to be filed. No package was received. I'm in a loop it seems.
I asked how I can be compensated for them dropping the ball and they told me I can contact the store I made the purchase through for a refund. I said, "But you messed up." They said yes... And why is UPS in business??? While at the pickup location they were telling every single person the same thing who had previously set up for pickup. I started saying to new customers coming in "Don't waste your time." And I watched as they went to the counter, and also was told "Sorry but we don't have your package." I will pay double for any delivery service as long as I never go through UPS again.

Most of the time the UPS do not deliver my package on schedule. The delivery person will lie and say that the receiver is not available and I was home all day waiting for my package.

Once upon a time I was the proud owner of a beautiful Samsung 55-inch 4K curved TV that the UPS ** destroyed!!! Now get this it was a $1,400 TV as to which I even insured it for that much as well when I had it shipped from (Kingsport, TN to Tempe, AZ Sept. 2016). Somebody broke my TV, I filed 3 claims & they said that inside the box packaging didn't meet their standards but what's funny is I had the same exact TV shipped from San Diego, CA to Soutwest VA in Nov. 2015 & not a scratch on it when I received. Here we are around the holidays, plus I'm a US Navy vet & this is the thank I get. *smh*
I'm beyond disgusted with UPS, clearly they owe me $1,400 & bunch of other non-satisfied customers. This is terrible! & worst part of the whole ordeal as to why I def think they should refund my money immediately, again I insured the TV for $1,400 but worst part was the employee who took my order actually forgot to put tracking # on the actual TV package (*smh*) because when I filed my complaint they couldnt find tracking # & I had 4 separate packages including TV. *smh* :( Gtf outta here UPS, again you guys are a freaking joke & I still want my $1,400 back.

UPS delivered a package to my house on 8/9/16... didn't knock on the door and I was home! Allowed someone else to sign for my package and take it. On 8/18/16 I called to find out what was taking so long for my package to arrive. That's when I was told it had been signed for on 8/9/16. They opened a "investigation" that took ten business days.
Mind you I had to call them to find out what they found out because no one ever called me from UPS to give me any info once the ten business days were up. I was told that because the store that shipped me the package had the UPS account they had to send the refund to the store and the store would then need to refund me. The store was perfectly fine with doing this once they received the refund from UPS. UPS told myself and the store manager that it can take up to a month for the refund to be applied to the stores UPS account.
After a month the manager of the store called to find out where the refund was. This was when she was told that they were refusing to pay the claim, AFTER they reassured me 3 times and the store manager twice that the refund was coming it just "takes time to go through the process". UPS claims that they don't have to pay the claim because "it was delivered to the correct address" except it wasn't! If it was I'd have my package!
From there I began dealing with a manager at the UPS store in our town. He let me know that what UPS is doing is illegal (his words) and that even if the package was delivered to the correct address they are still liable because the package was stolen (also his words). He however has not been able to get me my refund either! I have also been dealing with the police in this matter. We are now at a stand still because the UPS driver is refusing to cooperate with the police to identify who signed for the package. Did I mention this package cost $315 and was my birthday present. I can argue with UPS employees until I'm blue in the face trying to get them to comprehend that the package was not delivered to the correct address and they still insist that it was the correct address! WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!

Thanksgiving a time for family and feast unless you were unfortunate enough to have ordered your Thanksgiving dinner from Honeybaked Ham (HBH) with guaranteed delivered by United Parcel Service (UPS). Since my husband and I could not be in Tennessee for Thanksgiving, I ordered a $150.00 Honeybaked Ham Thanksgiving feast for my 84 and 86-year-old in-laws.
I placed the order online on November 9 well in advance of the holiday so that hopefully nothing would go wrong. I scheduled the delivery for Tuesday, 11/22, so that just in case something did go wrong, they would at least receive their order by the next day, Wednesday, which would still be in time for their Thanksgiving dinner. We told them what all we had ordered and that there would be plenty of food so they could even invite neighbors for Thanksgiving dinner if they wanted. The order included a boneless ham and turkey combo (serves 4-6 each), a Festive Favorites combo including a sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, cornbread dressing, and gravy (enough to serve 12-16 according to HBH website), a whole pecan pie, and a combo of condiments.
On Tuesday, 11/22, my mother-in-law called me to thank me for the pecan pie and condiments that had been delivered by UPS, but there was no ham, turkey, or Festive Favorites combo. I immediately called Honeybaked Ham. At first I was told that UPS had failed to pick up some orders on 11/21 and that sure enough, one of the orders left behind was my in-laws Thanksgiving dinner. They offered me a refund. Really?
Then, after speaking with a manager, it was determined that although UPS had not originally picked up certain orders on time, they had been picked up a little bit later on the 21st, and UPS had guaranteed that all of the orders would be delivered either later that day on the 22nd, or by the end of the day on Wednesday the 23rd. No problem no worries. They were taking care of it and it was GUARANTEED for pre-Thanksgiving delivery by UPS. My in-laws were still going to love me when they received their HBH Thanksgiving dinner.
On Wednesday the 23rd, around noon (in California where I live), I checked again with my in-laws, but still no delivery. I again tried tracking my delayed package through UPS website, but it still showed that the package had not been picked up from Honeybaked. Just to allay my fears, I called Honeybaked Ham customer service again and told them that the UPS website was still showing my package had not been picked up.
HBH said that for some unknown reason, UPS was not updating the tracking info on the late picked up orders, but I was again reassured and told that UPS had picked up the 17-pound package and that UPS had guaranteed delivery by close of the day (Wednesday, Nov 23). I was also told that if my in-laws did not receive the order by 8:30 Central, that HBH customer service was open until 10:00 p.m. Eastern, so I could call and let them know although we both realized there was nothing that would be done at that time - except a refund. My in-laws still would have no Thanksgiving dinner as I had promised them.
At about 6:30 p.m. California time (8:30 Central time/9:30 Eastern time), I called my little in-laws one more time to see if their dinner had been delivered. It had not. I then called HBH customer service at 6:50 p.m. (9:50 p.m. Eastern) again to let them know there had been no delivery, but HBH customer service was closed. They apparently were not open until 10:00 p.m. as I had been told. At 11:00 p.m. Central time, my elderly in-laws, who normally go to bed at 9:00 p.m., called to let me know they still had not received a delivery and they were going to turn off the porch light and go to bed.
Today is Thanksgiving. My in-laws are sitting at home in a small town in Tennessee with few, if any, restaurants open. They will not be enjoying the Thanksgiving feast today that their daughter-in-law promised, and that Honeybaked Ham promised, and that United Parcel Service guaranteed. I will get a refund eventually, and HBH won't give it another thought. UPS has obviously already forgotten all about it. And after a while, my in-laws will have forgotten that Honeybaked Ham and UPS screwed up their Thanksgiving dinner, but it will ALWAYS be remembered that their daughter-in-law did not come through with her promise to them for a very Happy Thanksgiving Feast.
Wouldn't it have been wonderful if either Honeybaked Ham or United Parcel Service had come through with their promises and guarantees? I would be a hero instead of a villain and so would HBH and UPS. Social media would have this story going viral all over the country by now about how these two conglomerate companies came together and saved a Thanksgiving Day feast for a little elderly couple in Tennessee.

The carrier is happy to go along with this and have even them justify it by saying they are gathering information for law enforcement. Total garbage. This was my exchange with UPS chat today:
Me: "Have asked you before and told carrier today, stop placing packages directly in front of door, seriously increases risk of theft. His response was totally inappropriate 'you either get it or you don't.' They should also not be placed at an angle to increase visibility. The post office has been doing things like this as well as delaying and not delivering mail, this was documented to the AG's office, you just need to deliver the packages." Rep: "I know how frustrating this incident must be on your part being a valued customer of UPS. Rest assured this is properly documented so that we can prevent things from happening again."

A well I was on lunch from 2:05 to 2:35. Driver says she arrived at 2:36 pm. So you mean to tell me UPS has invisible drivers and invisible trucks? There was no "sorry we missed you note" or anything. As well as I'm not deaf or blind as my blinds were open. So how did I miss a big brown truck which I would be able to see from my living room window? And how did I miss a knock when I'm 3 ft from the door. So basically the driver lied. I called, argued with a rep and supervisor who swore up and down the driver came by.
I advised them I work from home and had Chinese food delivered around the time the driver supposedly came by. So hear that driver knock 3 ft away from the door but not the UPS drivers? Then the supervisor says "well I'm doing you a favor by checking with the dispatcher to see if it can be delivered again." I stated "how you doing me a favor when your driver lied and didn't attempt to deliver the package?" Dispatcher called and said "well the GPS says she went to the home. I advised "just because she turned on a street doesn't mean she attempted to deliver." He put me on hold then hung up. Then I aired my issues out on social media. Got a response from the social team at UPS who stated if I emailed them they can resolve the issue. Or gave false hope they could get something done.
They reps advised re-delivery on Mon which is unacceptable. If you mess my delivery up on Friday the expectation is for it to be delivered Saturday. So I send a email get a auto response saying their team is closed and they will get back to you Monday. What was the point of telling me to email if you can't resolve the issue sooner than what the re-delivery date is? Not only do I send a email I include proof that I was at home during the time. I sent a copy of my work schedule. So then I speak with them again on social media. They apologize and say the auto response was sent in error and someone will email me shortly personally. The person does email me stating they will get back to me on Monday again. But just in their own wording. I go back to the social media for UPS. And they apologize again and this time it's a different person responding saying she's on the 24/7 team and that she'll assist me.
She ask for my email and I advise "if you can't resolve this and have this delivered Sat then there is no point." Give my email. Never got a response back. Spoke with a female supervisor who advised me the driver's name CoCoa. Why is a female named Cocoa delivering packages probably bigger then her. If I was a female on a Friday I'd probably lie and say no one was home either. So as if me working from home 3 ft from door from 10 to 6:30 pm wasn't enough, they tell me a chick named Cocoa was the driver. Obviously she lied and wanted to bypass this specific delivery. I call again, talk to my 3rd supervisor who advises me they don't do ground delivery on Sat. I state "that's not my issue. Your driver lied accept responsibility. And switch it to whatever type of delivery you need to switch it to to get my package delivered today."
He puts me on hold for 15-20 minutes only to come back on the line saying "we can have it to by 10 am Monday." I advise "sir it was already expected and known that it better be here first thing in the morning. So why would you put me on hold for 20 mins and come back on the line and say it'll be there by 10 am like you worked some magic and made the situation better when it was already known it better be here by then." Advise "I'm taking the survey and good luck with those stats. Go ahead and disconnect the call so I can take the survey." Supervisor says "no" and refuses to hang up saying I can hang up so he could escape the survey. He left the line on because I told him "I had no problem watching the football game and playing watch dogs with you on speaker phone." He says "ok". Then 10 mins later he gives some poor attempt at closing the call. And finally hangs up.

I have ordered a sim that was supposed to be delivered by Friday. Since the sender has given out incorrect information (Apt # 2 instead of Apt # 204), it could not be delivered on Friday. I understand that there was nothing wrong from UPS side. But the issue started here. I contacted customer representative Daniel via chat on Friday evening and I asked him to update my address and also said, "I am ready for store pick up because I needed the package." But since there was no store pick up for that particular office, I could not go on weekend to pick it up. Also, Daniel said, the package would be delivered by Tuesday.
Weekend went and on Monday I was just checking the status of my package and I see that on Monday also, the package came and went back. If Daniel had updated last Friday, then it should have been delivered on Monday. So I again contacted CS (Iris) on Tuesday morning and asked the status. I asked him, if the address was updated. Iris replied, "Yes it is updated and the updated address is Apt # 2." This means the number has not been updated by Daniel and he has just made the status as updated. WOW! I asked Iris to correct the address again. He said, ok and confirmed that my issue is forwarded to the appropriate package facility for further assistance and will get a call in an hour for the same day delivery request. I did not a get any call from them.
I waited for another day, Tuesday. Expecting to get a package in my mailbox. I did not see and came back and tracked my status. It shows up the same status. I really got so mad and contacted CS again. This time it was Erwin. I said him the whole scenario and asked him if I can wait by my mailbox and collect the package showing a valid proof of mine. I asked I am ready to go for store pick up and he confirmed that the package will be at the store next day for pick up for about a week. But, he asked me to check the status updated and then go for store pick up.

My online merchant arranged for UPS to deliver an item to Singapore. When it arrived in Singapore, I received a call from UPS to pay for some goods & services tax before they can release my parcel. I explained to UPS that this item is not to be used in Singapore hence I requested to waive it for me. UPS then required the transshipment document details before the tax can be waived AND they informed that customer needs to do self-collection for the parcel. I was a bit shocked that courier company does not provide delivery to destination indicated per my initial instruction to my online merchant. But, I managed to persuade one of the UPS rep to do delivery for me once we clear the transshipment documentation as requested. I therefore linked my forwarding agent with UPS team to arrange the documentation. It was really a difficult process as it was my first time coordinating with UPS on such matter.
I spent lots of my time talking to UPS to ensure everything worked fine. However, there was a time restraint that we needed to keep to and according to UPS it was a regulation. That aside, we also needed to accommodate to UPS's delivery schedule. As I recalled, we did get the documentation done but UPS told us their guys could not deliver due to the short notice!!! Then, I continued to work with UPS on our 2nd attempt to produce a new documentation since the first attempt failed. Soon I decided to give up and arranged for self-collection upon generation of the 2nd documentation when I heard I might be subject to storage cost if I continue to leave my parcel with UPS - this self-collection trip that came shortly after hearing about the possible storage fee cost me close to 100 bucks as charged by my forwarder!
And to my shock, my forwarder informed me that UPS warehousing team had insisted on collecting additional 50 bucks for storage before they were willing to release my parcel. And that was all without my prior knowledge that I would be charged this unreasonable fee! After knowing this, I called them to express my unhappiness and the whole UPS team stood united against my complaint by simply emphasizing that they are not in the wrong!! I can't imagine how the service industry would be with such unprofessional service providers and company that condones their unprofessional conduct to exist. I hope for someone who could do the justice to appear and handle my case. Thanks.

UPS is now telling us that even though they sorted it wrong, we have to contact the seller to have them overnight the package to us, otherwise it won't be delivered till next week.
What's frustrating is UPS is refusing to take responsibility and intercept the package. They said we have to pay an extra fee to upgrade the package to ground shipping and maybe we will receive it by Friday. This is unacceptable. The people in receiving and sorting at UPS made a mistake, not us, not the shipper. Ultimately, UPS needs to credit us for the shipping we already paid for and upgrade to ground shipping on their own. For a corporation so large, to make such a terrible mistake, refuse to take responsibility, and refuse to get me my package on time. I paid for the package to be received by a certain date and due to UPS negligence it was not. UPS NEEDS TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE ASAP.

We ordered a part for our bike & paid for express shipping. Needless to say there wasn't anything express about it. It was supposed to be 2 day air & as we tracked the package we could tell it was going by truck...it has taken 5 DAYS so far. They say it will be here today, but we'll see. We will NEVER use UPS again & their customer service is a joke too. Everyone we talked to was very rude. If I could've given negative star rating I would have.

A year ago I had an issue with UPS. The "Customer Service Rep" told me to log onto the UPS website, create an account, and flag my address as okay to leave on front porch. This worked for three shipments. Now, a year later, I have the same problem. My account still says LEAVE ON PORCH. What is wrong with these people? I cannot fathom why in a nice neighborhood you can't leave a hunk of plastic and a book. Maybe if I ordered a Faberge egg I'd feel differently, but seriously? How many people are going to steal a cookbook off my porch? If you need one that badly, I'll give you my address. Get your act together, UPS. A PHARMACY in a different neighborhood is not a good place to leave a package. FEDEX RULES!!!

Good afternoon. I paid additional to have a very important package of documents sent by 2nd day air. The package never arrived on Tuesday 11/8 by 4:30 guaranteed as promised. I've been trying to get answers all day yesterday. I drove down to the Sharonville Ohio UPS facility to try to speak with Mary Beth ** loss coordinator, that she would be able to track my package better than the representative on the phone because she could see things into the destination that would be more accurate. I was told Mary Beth was not at the facility to speak with, that she was at a meeting. At that point I asked if there was anyone else I could speak to. The lady at the front told me that there was not, that my package was under investigation and there was nothing that they could do until they called me. I said, "I must speak to someone now. My package needs to be located before 7 o'clock tonight so I can get this rerouted through another carrier."
The lady again told me that there was nothing she could do. At that point I stated, "I would like to stay here until I can speak to someone." The lady advised me that there was someone I could speak to and his name was Louis. She brought Louis out and he was security guard and he told me that I was ordered to leave the premises or he was going to call Sharonville police. I left the premises but very upset because the lady had spoken to on the phone told me that I needed to speak to Mary Beth and after numerous calls to her office because she was unavailable yesterday I was told she would be arriving back that evening. I felt that this was inappropriate to deceive me that I could speak to someone else and to send out a security guard.
I felt like I was being treated like a criminal. When in fact I was looking for a very important package that have been missing for more than twenty-four hours and I wanted to make sure someone was trying to help me. Mary Beth reached out to me last night and told me again this morning that my package was put into a bag and that the entire bag is missing at the facility. She has several people looking for it but doesn't know if it was actually put onto a truck because none of the items in the big bag going to TX were scanned in. However, it may have been put onto a truck but that truck should have arrived at its destination by now so she felt it was in her facility. I asked if the entire bag had been stolen?
She said she did not think so that she felt it could have been put into an area of empty bags or in a room somewhere. I have always believed UPS to be at the top of their industry for package delivery. I had no idea of the carelessness that occurs within the channels of communication within your company. I would like to speak to someone at corporate because the package that I sent was very important which is why I paid $35 to send my documents. I need answers and this is needs to be addressed today.
I also have another issue. The person that took in my package at the UPS Store according to the manager wrote on the note that it was a box 4 by 4 by 4 which in fact it was a legal size UPS envelope weighing approximately 1 pound. There have been so much misinformation throughout this investigation that started Tuesday night that I am literally sick over all of the work that I've had to do to try to get information. Please help me find my package.

I paid for express shipping on a package, but made the mistake of not including the apartment number in my address. I listed the complex address correctly and I realized my mistake before they even attempted a delivery and called to specify which apartment they should deliver to. You would think it would be as simple as sending a notice to the driver, who would have to drive to the same place regardless just to find out they couldn't leave it there. Instead, they have to go through their automatic system that makes an address change delay the delivery until the next business day. In this case three days later. Now I don't have one of the gifts I was giving for my anniversary that is Saturday. USPS was able to change the address just fine. Why is this private company not as good as a government run postal service?

I ordered a case of wine and asked that it be shipped to my home, a condo complex due to the size and weight of the box. Our condos have a guard shack and 24-hour security. The guards always accept UPS, FedEx, and all other packages for us, and then we retrieve them when we are home. The UPS driver attempted delivery directly to my home early Wednesday afternoon. When I went online to track the order, I found out that UPS didn't bother delivering to our guard shack. Not sure the reason because all the guards are well over 21 years of age. I spoke with UPS customer service that evening, filled out the MyChoice form and requested that the box be left with the guard shack. Last night, I got home to find the driver pulled the same stunt and left a note saying another attempt would be made. By this time, I was furious.
I called UPS again, and get this. They offered me three options: (1) drive 45 minutes and pick up the box myself (after paying a premium price for UPS to deliver) or (2) provide a different address and pay $6.00 charge to re-route the box or (3) let the driver continue to try and deliver to my home when I'm not there. I couldn't believe that the customer service rep was actually serious about charging me -- whether it's $6.00 or 6 cents, they should have waived the fee because it was their mistake. Out of desperation, I let them charge my credit card.
When I got off the phone, I immediately contacted the vendor with which I'd done business and told them the whole story. The representative immediately credited my account for the $6.00 and was very apologetic. Now, I'd used UPS for many years for deliveries and had always bragged on the service I'd received. Unless I am contacted with a proper apology, I will NOT use UPS again. My preference would be FedEx going forward. I found it a true insult that UPS would be so bold as to charge me $6.00. First of all, if UPS had such great customer relations, they would have waived their original delivery fee and delivered my box for free. Well, I'm supposed to get my box at my office today, but I'm not holding my breath.

I figured that as is the case with a lot of companies that I normally shop online with, that my stuff would be delivered to my regular mailbox like I'm used to with all my other online shopping and shipping. They went ahead and shipped my stuff with UPS (which was a surprise), UPS came to my house and told me that they wanted more money for 'duties'. After I calculated the cost of the goods and compared it with the shipping, I realized that I would be paying more than half of what the actual cost of the items were and so I declined the goods and asked them to send it back. They promised that they would; I notified UrbanOG that I declined the goods and asked for a refund once they got the stuff back. UrbanOG failed to notify me of any procedure.
After a month or so of waiting for my refund, I called Urban for my money. The customer service was atrocious. They could not care less. They informed me that I did not have a say in who the shipper was and that they only used UPS. DO NOT SHIP WITH UPS. THEY ARE HIGHWAY ROBBERS. I called UPS to find out where the stuff was and UPS informed me that after a month, my stuff was in their discarded pile and they could not look for it.

I was expecting 2 packages which were supposedly delivered yesterday. Today a neighbor from an apartment building across the street knocked on my door with the packages and told me he found them on the front steps. He even pointed out that my address was clearly marked and wondered why they put it on the apartment building steps. I called UPS and the "Customer Service" rep proceeded to try to blame me by questioning whether my house is clearly marked (yes, it is), that maybe I wasn't home and the neighbor agreed to take the package (no, he was as confused as I was), maybe the driver confused apartment buildings (I live in a single family, the apartment building is across the street), and so on. Finally, she said she would speak with the driver.
At this point, I know what happened. The driver glanced at the address and threw it on the apartment building's front steps, not even caring. It could have easily been stolen. I wouldn't even be as upset as I am if it wasn't for the fact that we had a similar incident several years ago where a package was again placed to a different apartment building porch, at the opposite end of our street, and was stolen. I will NEVER use UPS again. They obviously don't care. I also called the companies that I ordered from and notified them about the negligent manner their products were delivered.

So I call UPS and they give me the runaround, saying no one was home (Which I told them wasn't true) and after hours of being on the phone with them, they told me it was at the Access Point store. 11/13 I call UPS (Because I still haven't received the package) and ask them about it. They said it was still at the Access Point store. I check that store after work, and they told me UPS picked it up the day before, 11/12. So they couldn't even tell me they picked it up!!
Long story short, talk to a manager (who basically called me a liar, great Customer Service right there!) who said "Well our driver delivered 9 other packages in your area, it's funny how yours is missing." Excuse me? Demanded they deliver the next day, that someone WILL be home for the package. They actually delivered it!! 5 days later. (I forgot to mention I specifically requested that packages be delivered, be left on our porch if there was no answer at the door.

My neighbor saw it and gave out to me when I got home. So called to complain about it last night and a woman (probably a supervisor) called me back this morning. She didn't even get my complaint right. After clarifying to her why I was upset she turned the blame on me and basically said it was my fault for not having special instructions for the package and it doesn't matter anyway because I got my package. Also that if the driver didn't think my package was safe he would not have left it.
Then she had the nerve to tell me that if I didn't want this to happen in the future then I should sign up for their online service. I told her I didn't think they would just leave my package outside of the door to the building. In the past they would leave a note to reschedule a pick up and if I'm still not there they would tell me to pick it up at a UPS store, or they would at least get in the building and put the package in front of my apartment door. Long story short, I am never using UPS again. I would have felt a little better if they apologized and assured it wouldn't happen again, but to imply that it's my fault...

We belong to several wine clubs. In California, an adult signature is required to receive alcohol deliveries. In our area of L.A., UPS shipments are almost always a day or two later than predicted by their first automatic email, which is tolerable for most shipments, BUT NOT WINE. The wine is either held in a non-air conditioned warehouse (it gets hot here) or it rides around extra days in a bumpy truck (bottle shock).
Recently, we arranged to be home on a Wednesday to receive a wine shipment, only to get the predictable email delaying delivery to Thursday. Since we were to leave on vacation early Thursday, we had several bad options: divert the shipment to someone else for $5, which we can't do, since all our neighbors work days, delay the shipment, which we can't do, since we were to be gone for a week, and they can't apparently delay that long, as well as it spending a week in a hot warehouse (and would cost us $5), or drive to the warehouse, a 45 minute drive to Sylmar.
We refused the shipment. Returned to sender. We will probably drop this one wine club because they only ship using UPS. All our others use Fed Ex, which has a FREE diversion policy to a nearby FedEx Store. UPS will not divert to a UPS Store for unknown reasons. Lastly, in addition to a rigid, costly, inconvenient delivery philosophy, most damaged packages we've received over the years have been delivered via UPS. We live in the "UPS Bermuda Triangle" here in L.A. Not happy.

I was expecting a package to arrive to this location to send home with my in-laws (from South America). I did my homework to figure out which postal service was opened Saturdays and came across UPS. I checked the UPS website, Google, and my pickup notification also said, "Pick up Saturday." Anyway, turns out this franchise was listed for sale and is in the process of changing hands. That does not however give the owner the right to close up shop and inconvenience everyone else. How about hire some staff?
I was EXTREMELY mad that I found the posting for the franchise and contacted the number on there (thinking it would be the owner answering the phone). Better yet, it was the South Western regional manager who picked up the phone, Declan **. I explained my situation to him and apparently I was partial to blame for why this whole issue happened. Why a manager would blame a customer for this, I don't know.

He said, "The most you're going to get is a sorry." NICE!

Again didn't pick up because no one was there, so I said void the shipment, give me my money back. They want me to do it online, ok, go thru that process and it says you can't. Have to call them.
Then I am sent to the billing department and they say, no problem it isn't charged until it ships and delivers. Really!? It's on my charge statement! Guess I will have to dispute that now. Brother what a pain. I will end up eating the charge for something I can't use to the tune of $400 and probably the $100 in shipping that never happened.

I ordered a computer from Amazon. Naturally, this requires a signature, because of the cost. Amazon shipped UPS. After quite some time screaming into the phone to be heard over the babble on the other end, and attempting to decipher the thickest accent I've ever heard (and I traveled in Europe) it was established that no, they don't deliver after work hours when I might reasonably be home. No, they don't deliver on weekends. No, they can't give me a window so I only have to take a few hours off work, it would have to be the whole day. No, they won't just give it to the far more capable post office.
I'll have to pay them extra to hold it, and pick it up myself. Would I like to pick it up an hour away, where they're only open 9-4, an hour and a half away with the same hours, or two hours away where they're actually open in the evening? She says this like I'm the one being difficult, and demands my credit card upfront. If I don't give my credit card, they'll just send it back.

UPS has proved time and time again to be THE worst company for delivering packages or anything for that matter. Every time I have a package coming from UPS, I expect trouble. My predictions are always correct, and there is no use in contacting customer support as they are extremely useless and do not do anything to solve the issue at hand.
I am excited for the day I can see UPS file for bankruptcy. My only wish is that the CEO's and execs are too poor to even get a parachute so they can suffer from the faulty scam business they set up and maintained. There is no "help" at UPS, there is no "good" at UPS, there are only scummy deliveries. Thankfully I order 99% of my product from Amazon, and it always arrives on time. If it doesn't, they fix the problem in minutes. Sometimes I am not so lucky and need a package delivered from UPS, such as my recent one, which is now delayed 4 days due to UPS's business practices. Thanks UPS, Worthless company.

I received a delivery this evening a little after 6 pm. I heard a very loud thud outside of my front door and looked out the front window to see what had happened. Once I noticed that it was my delivery, I obviously stepped outside to bring it inside. Immediately I saw that the tape on the top was barely sticking to the box and I was able to press down an entire side of the box, revealing what I had purchased. There was a rip down one of the corners of the box the size of my hand. When I picked up the box, the bottom side was loose to the point where I could see what I had purchased inside the box again. I have never had an issue with UPS package care before and this was completely unacceptable. I was so disappointed that I cancelled my repeat deliveries through the company I bought from so that UPS cannot deliver my packages anymore.

When I double checked the tracking number to see what time of day our freight was scanned out for delivery I noticed it was still sitting in SLC--7hours away. I thought maybe it needed to update.
Checked an hour later, same thing. BUT it said it was 'scheduled for delivery' on today's date and 'by end of day'... Confused with the contradicting information I called.

I opened a new customer account online and ordered a return pick-up from a UPS store in Minnesota. I ordered a 10-KG box and shipping to my St. Louis office. I used my current address that I have had for over a year with the United States Postal Service. The driver delivered to the new address but marked it Address is Unknown. UPS then changes the correct address to an old business address from over a year ago and kept trying to deliver to this address 2 or 3 times. That driver did tell the Earth City location that my business is no longer there. I received a telephone call advising me that I can pick up my package from the Earth City location which is 20 miles and a 40 minute drive away.
I spoke with an Earth City customer service representative who stated; "let me find exactly where your package is because it's supposed to be delivered to your old address." I told her I have not worked there in over a year and I asked for the package to go to the Jefferson location and deliver to the original downtown and only address I submitted. She said it would happen tomorrow and to expect a telephone call from someone soon. No one called me that day or early the next day.
I called the 800 number and spoke with a very nice young lady who was responsive and helpful. She then involved her boss who assured me the package will be delivered to the original address and then hung up on me. The package was delivered the next day. Two days after delivery, I receive an invoice for $18.28 plus my original cost of $15.27. Not only did they screw up my 2-day delivery that turned into an 8-day delivery, this is the worst possible treatment of a new customer to double bill them after going through a terrible delivery run-around.
When I call to complain about the invoice, the customer service representative accuses me of changing the address. I went ballistic! These idiots make all these errors and their computer screens do not reflect their incompetence, just that the customer is irate. Well, I am an irate customer who has had POOR customer service from UPS and they still want to charge me money for their POOR customer service!!!

I had a package coming from QVC and was updated that it would be delivered on 10/1 in the morning. I stayed home all day waiting on the package. On 10/3 the package still had not been delivered so, I checked on the tracking of the package and it said the package was attempted to be delivered 3 times on Saturday and the receiver refused delivery so it was now being returned to the sender. The package was never attempted to be delivered to my home. I called UPS and they told me it was attempted to be delivered to the post office in my town, not my home address, so it was the sender's fault. I called QVC and they told me the address on my package was for my home address and it was sent for home delivery by UPS to my house. They even read me back the address they sent it to and that was correct. I called UPS again and they told me it was my fault now because it was sent Surepost, even after QVC told me it wasn't. WHAT!!!
UPS is a big fat joke, nothing is ever their fault, nor are they willing to try to fix their problems. I am done with UPS. My packages are always incorrectly delivered either to a neighbor who has to deliver it to me themselves or to the post office. I always specify with the senders who have always double checked with me, where I want it delivered to and I always watch the tracking so I can be home when it is delivered. Never has a UPS driver knocked on my door or asked me to sign anything. The only way I know they are there is when the dogs bark at the door.
UPS is just plain lazy. I would bet if they could throw packages from the truck to the front porch they would do it so they don't have to get out of their trucks. UPS drivers don't want to deliver to the houses, so they try to dump it at the post office and if it is refused, they just have it sent back to the sender saying delivery was refused, when it was NEVER EVER delivered to the right place in the first place. Shame on UPS for their terrible customer service and lack of respect for their customers.

Once again, cancelled a doctors appointment and spent the entire day at home waiting for delivery of a package. Car is in the yard, BIG 12x12" sign on door to "please ring doorbell" (because it is loud and even rings in the backyard). Found a note on my door that says he tried to deliver the package at 5:30. No one ever rang the doorbell, I have a big watchdog who did not bark. I called their office and NO ONE speaks enough English for me to understand them. But today is Friday, UPS guy probably in a big hurry. Package needed a signature. Now I have to wait until Monday to get it. If the sender had used FEDEX, I would have had it. I have even gotten packages from FEDEX on Sundays.
UPS should change their name to UNRELIABLE PARCEL SERVICE, because they are absolutely the very worst that there could ever be. I am so mad. I am just glad that this was not something to keep someone alive, like medication or the like. Why can't they manage to deliver as promised. I really needed that today. I wasted an entire day. Neither of us left our home all day. If the doorbell had rang, we would have heard it. If anyone had knocked, we would have heard it, or our german shepherd would have been trying to tear the door down. He didn't even try to deliver the package, he just put the sticker on the door and left. I have security cameras, and I am going to review the tapes tonight.
By next week, I hope this jerk is looking for a job. If this is his idea of service, then he will probably be mopping toilets at McDonalds or the Waffle House. Even the mailman knocks loud enough for someone to hear. I cannot believe that at 5:30pm he was in such a big hurry that he could not even manage to deliver the package. Personally, I will never use them again, and if I am given a choice by those sending me packages, I will never choose the "BIG BROWN TURD" again. They have no pride in themselves, in delivering on time, or in customer service. I see their trucks pulled off in wooded areas all the time.

I took the package to a local UPS Franchise Store along with a printout from the website. At the store I was told the price would be $144. They explained that the difference was due to the insurance for the $1500. I gave them the printout to show that the website indicated $10.67 for the insurance value. They said their computer came up about $30 and there was nothing they could do about it.
I left the store and got back on the internet and checked out FedEx. They too had a cost calculator that came up with $103.83. I took the package and printout to their store and asked them to check on that price. They did and it came out to the exact $103.83 so I told them to ship it. When they put in all the package information, the clerk said that the price went up but he didn't understand why. He took the sheet I brought and started comparing numbers. Then he indicated he had put the value in wrong and corrected it. When he did the price came to $103.83 and that is what I paid. So thank you to FedEx For having compatible software between their website and their store and for willingness to check out discrepancies. Not so good for UPS.

I immediately called and spoke to someone in the "special iPhone department" who corrected the shipping address and ASSURED me that my package would be delivered today. I even got a call 45 minutes later from the local hub telling me that the package information was updated and that it would be delivered today.
At 9:30 PM last night, I received a second exception email stating that because they couldn't deliver it after three tries, it was being returned. Delivery was NEVER attempted after I spoke to the rep. I immediately called again, and was told by an unsympathetic agent that it was indeed being returned and there was nothing that could be done. I called back again and spoke to someone else that "checked" the order and then repeated the same thing. Telling me I should call the shipper and request that they resend the package.
This morning, I called yet AGAIN, and got a fourth agent that first told me there was nothing that could be done, but when I persisted and told her that I was assured it WOULD be delivered she "checked" and told me that there was a note on the shipment to have it delivered today. An obvious lie to get me off the phone. Well, lo and behold, UPS came and went, and NO PACKAGE. I called and spoke to a FIFTH agent who told me, nothing could be done, and that UPS is not even ALLOWED to change addresses on Verizon orders, and that I had to call Verizon to have them intercept the package, since it was still at the hub.
I called Verizon, and the agent there spent over an hour trying to work with UPS, speaking to one agent, another agent in the mysterious "special iPhone dept" and his supervisor. All three told her there was nothing to be done, it was being returned. She requested that I be allowed to pick up the package at the hub and was told no, it was not possible.
So the end result, BOTH of my orders will be returned, my orders will be cancelled and I will have to reorder. This will POSSIBLY have my devices to me by late October or early November. While I understand that the original error was on the part of Verizon, UPS's lack of willingness to work with me OR Verizon directly is pathetic. Even more so, the fact that your agents outright LIE to customers, is beyond reproach. Your company is a disgrace to the Logistics business. Anyone needing to ship or receive something should be very wary and try and make sure their orders are shipped by any other company than UPS.

I have been experiencing the absolute worst possible service with UPS these past few days and sadly, this is not the first time I have been severely disappointing by your company. I took the day off from work yesterday to sign for a very important package that was to be delivered, only to get a notification saying that my package was "attempted" and would be tried again the next day. This is patently untrue, as no doorbell was rung, no one knocked and most importantly, a doortag was not left at my residence to prove that the driver actually arrived.
I immediately called UPS to resolve the issue and was told that I would get a call back to arrange for the driver to re-attempt that same day. An hour later I was told that that would not be possible and I would have to go to the UPS store (which is very far from my house AND only open until 6pm) to pick it up - this is a close to impossible request for someone without access to a car that works normal weekday hours. Having it sent to a UPS Access Point was not possible as this is considered a "high value" package.
I could not afford to take another day off from work again and was told to contact the shipper (T-Mobile) to have THEM change the shipping address to my work, which didn't make any sense but I complied anyway. As expected, T-Mobile said that it's out of their hands once the package leaves their warehouse. After getting UPS on the line again, I was told that my only option would be to PAY to have the receiving address changed, which is adding insult to injury. I did end up paying and was promised that my package would be rerouted to my work address today. It is 1pm EST and my address change request is still showing as "pending" so there goes another promise being broken by UPS. I am tired of being told different things by different customer service associates (many of whom had a bad attitude to begin with) and vow to never use your delivery services again.

Well, how funny, I was sitting at home all day long at a "doorman" building, to get a package which was out for delivery at 11:19 AM today. I didn't leave my apartment not even once. And I receive an email says that "5:50 PM the receiver was not available at the time of the first delivery attempt. A second attempt will be made." Are you kidding me? So my packages don't even come upstairs to my door, the doorman takes them all and I go downstairs to get them. And the front door of the building is forever open because you have to go through the security anyways.
Well, let's say the delivery guy went through my doorman to upstairs which never happens, how I haven't hear my doorbell ring even once which would wake a dead person from death loud. Well after the email I received about delivery attempted, I go at the door, there's not a "yellow notice" which supposed to say that it was attempted and "they couldn't find me"… I go downstairs to ask my doorman if UPS came in and he says no never. They never even showed up!!! IT'S FUNNY THAT I RECEIVED PLENTY OF PACKAGES ALL DAY LONG BUT UPS DELIVERY ATTEMPT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL??? I would buy the lie if I wouldn't be at home all day long and if I wouldn't have a doorman at the door. I call the UPS company. They say they will bring my package tomorrow??? Well, I have a flight at 8:00 AM tomorrow!!! So that I paid extra for this package to be here today!!!
I can't believe they never even showed up, plus, lied about showing up. The address is 100% right on the package too as we confirmed with the agent. I have cameras all over my building that can prove that the delivery guys were never here… I bet they thought it's not such a big deal to lie about something like this. It was raining between 5:00PM to 6:00 PM, and the delivery attempted was at 5:50PM... so obviously they didn't want to get wet and just lied about the situation. I bet they didn't think that I would have a doorman takes packages 24 hours a day. I'm really upset and won't gonna let it go at all.
On the phone the agent wasn't helpful too. They didn't care. I'm going to return whatever will come and tell the company that I bought from is UPS' fault because they couldn't make it on time and now I don't need the order anymore because I left without it already which was supposed to be useful for where I am flying tomorrow.

UPS has been an absolute nightmare to deal with. My package was shipped on August 30 with the tracking ** from the US to Canada. First you lost the package and despite my calls every single day multiple times, nobody gave me any information as to what is happening. Then you found the package, assigned a new tracking # to it ** with an online notice that it was being sent back to the shipper. I had to call your customer service a whole bunch of times only to find out that it was in reality being shipped to me. It gets better.
On September 14 (15 days after it was shipped!) I see an online notice that says "delay because of a mechanical error". It has been 15 days (and still counting) that I have yet to receive my package that was supposed to arrive last week. The worst part is your absolutely horrible communication skills with your customers. No information no compensation for my time that you wasted or the time that you are late for delivery.
Of course, whoever is going to read this (if anyone does) is not going to give a ** because that's what you seem to do best. But make no mistake I will file complaints wherever and however I can. I may be only one person but I will do everything I can to make sure my voice is heard and you are not even compensating your customers for your incompetence.

UPS delivered my package on 9/13/16. The UPS guy knocked on my door three times & before I could get downstairs in my apartment he was already knocking on my next door neighbor's apartment for her to receive my package on my behalf. The guy says to me "if I leave your package with a neighbor I won't have to come back out again for second time." I don't think that's right. What if you & your neighbor doesn't get along? UPS really need to correct their delivering options if that's one of them - leave the package with whoever lives closest to you.

I have used UPS in my company for many years. They rarely refund lost or damaged packages. The rep has never returned a call on the first try.....The fudge invoices to try and charge higher fees... and after my 7th call today I'm ready to give up. We were short 2.44 cents for the Smart pick up and so I shipped an extra package to my mother to meet the minimum so I wasn't charged the 25.00 short fee. They pushed that charge onto the next invoice so they could get the extra fee. When I attempted to contact them I was given the runaround. I just emailed my rep who of course won't call back... she never has... If FedEx were more user-friendly technologically we would use them but they don't work with Quickbooks.

The 1st time we ordered an expensive sketching tablet. My husband used his PayPal account so the address was not correct. He told them the address it needed to be delivered to and they said it was corrected, and he received an email saying it was also. The day it was delivered I had to contact our leasing office and they said no package was delivered. I had to call UPS Customer Service and they said, even though we told them the correct address, that it was delivered to the old one. So on my day off work I not only had to spend almost an hour on the phone with UPS, but also had to go to the old address to pick up the package.
The second time we ordered a customized computer. It was supposed to be delivered today 9/12. I was tracking the package so again on my day off I have been home all day to make sure I receive it. I looked at the tracking information and it said "1st attempt made, receiver was unavailable. 2nd attempt tomorrow 9/13." I have been home all day and have not heard a knock. So naturally I call Customer Service again. They said the notes said the driver put was not able to reach residence. Completely not true. We live in a neighborhood with no gates, no codes to get in. All we have is a leasing office, but they were supposed to deliver it to our apartment. So long story short now I have to spend the better part of my day off going to Statesville, NC to get my package. Mind you it's a customized computer so it's probably not light. Being pregnant this is not going to be easy for me. Just appalled at this service. Never had an issue until now.

On Saturday Sep 10, 2016 I went up on UPS.com and paid for “UPS Next Day Air” service. The receipt I got online stated “Guaranteed By: 10:30 AM Monday, Sep. 12, 2016." The website also stated that I could drop it off at the “UPS Store” near me. So I got in my car and dropped off the package at 3:43 PM on Sep. 10. 2016. Monday morning at 10:30 AM I find out the package is still at the “UPS Store” near me using package tracking at UPS.com. I called UPS, spent over 1 hour and talked to 3 different people that said they were with customer service. What I learned was I was supposed to know that the “UPS Store” has a UPS Air Pickup Time of 2:00 PM. What this translates to is a cutoff time.
When I asked the customer service representative why I was not notified she told me they are a separate company. So as a customer how was I supposed to know when I was on UPS.com that the “UPS Store” is a separate company? How was I supposed to know to check for pickup times and what that really meant? This company has a lot of business and does not need mine I know but they do not even know what customer service is, how to treat customers, or even talk to customers.

They will only get me once and hold me to ransom to release my goods. I have requested the company I purchased my goods from to ditch UPS.

I have had several packages delivered by UPS. A lot of times they will just leave the package out by the gate. Don't bother to come in the yard. A few times they left the packages at my brothers house in town instead of making the short drive to my house, then my brother notified me that they left the packages up at his house. I live rural but only about 3 miles from a small town on a gravel road. This specific package had powder contents that if got wet would be ruined and I am disabled, so trying to carry a heavy box is very difficult for me.
I left special instructions on the order: "do not leave at gate. Please come to door and notify owner that package is here." They again left package at the gate on a ladder. Looks like maybe made small attempt to enter. Gate held by bungee 2 cords, the bottom cord was broken, the gate partially open, My 2 small dogs found about a quarter mile from home and I had much difficulty trying to get the box into the house. I had SPECIFICALLY requested this package not to be left by the gate and now I have to replace the bungee cord and took me a while to find my 2 dogs. Just not happy.

Called UPS and was told that our address is not right. The address she called out is our address. We have had packages delivered several time with no problems. Said that we would have to come pick the package up at 2:00 next day (Friday). Said they only are open from 2:00pm to 6:00pm on fridays. She said we have to pick up at 2:00 or it will be Monday before they will attempt to try to deliver again. Husband said "that is fine. We will do your job for you because you're not doing it. We will be there at 2:00 tomorrow." She gave us the address: 1626 Robert C. Jackson Dr, Maryville, Tn 37801.
Lo and behold the phone rings again. Asking us if **. We said "yes." She said the address was not right. We said "yes it is. House has been here 20 years with that address." She said "that person delivering the package knows where Gamble Ln is but wanted to know what house it was on Right or left of the road and second or third house." I said "who is delivering". She said **. I told her to tell ** to get his phone out and google our address. It will come up because it is on the market for sale and he will see exactly where it is and what it looks like. She said she would note that and our number for him to call when he gets on gamble Ln. Hope I get my package tomorrow morning. Very upset customer.

I thought I would never use UPS again after they smashed a box with glass items for our vow renewal in Las Vegas. It looked like they drop-kicked our box several times, re-taped it and sent it out to us even though we had clearly marked "fragile" all over the box. When we opened it, many of the items inside were smashed, even though they were carefully bubble-wrapped, forcing us to buy new centerpieces, etc. They never reimbursed us for the items even though the complaint was filed immediately and photos were submitted of all the broken items. All they did from the very beginning was give us a hard time.
Unfortunately, I recently had to order something and the company only ships through UPS. Today, I received the delivery from some stranger who lives on a completely different road from us. They put the box in her driveway where she almost ran over it. Her children ran over to grab the box and opened it because they were waiting for a delivery. Once they realized it was not theirs, they drove it to our house and delivered the opened box. Really UPS?! Your service is HORRIBLE!!! If you care about what you are sending or receiving, I would NEVER recommend using UPS, ever!!!

Ordered a phone replacement from Asurion to be sent UPS Next Day Air and was told that no signature was required for delivery. My driver decided that it needed a signature and even though my whole family was home, he lied to his manager and said that there wasn't a car in the driveway and that since it was supposedly "raining". He used his discretion and didn't leave me my package nor knock on my door so that any of my family or my dogs heard it. I called to complain and "Vanessa" told me there was nothing she could do and that it was policy to not deliver anything from Best Buy or Verizon (neither of which was on my package) without a signature (even though Asurion told me no signature required).
Vanessa was rude, unhelpful and should choose another career besides customer service. I asked her for her manager and she said that she didn't have one. I asked if she was the President of UPS and she finally gave me Mike **'s name. Mike called me back and I can see where Vanessa learned her horrible Customer Service manners. He stated the exact opposite of Vanessa that it was the driver's discretion to deliver a package. He said that he just spoke to my lying delivery driver, who he trusts because he's worked with him for 20 years, and there wasn't a car in the driveway (yes, there was!!!) and it was raining.
I asked for my delivery driver's cell phone number so I can call him up and ask him for his permission next time I order a package online for next day delivery but no such luck. And I guess Mike is the president of UPS also because getting him to tell me his Director's name was like pulling teeth. So I called and left a message for Mark ** to call me back but somehow I think it will still be a lot of bad customer service, entitled excuses and zero refund on the next-day service I never received because my package is at the sole discretion of my idiot driver.

Today, I am waiting to receive a package that I was supposed to receive yesterday, but instead I was told that my package was delivered when it wasn't. I was also told that I could not have my package picked up at a location because the shipper restricted that option. I called the shipper and that was not the case. I waited until the next day at my house to receive the package. No one knocked or anything and I checked the updated status which read "attempted delivery." Again, not the case.
I called to see if I could have a "wait call" option and the driver claimed he was so booked that that wasn't an option either. While understand being busy, the person delivering the message stated that she called twice and said she was about to not call back. In addition to all of this, not having assigned numbers to call people back is unacceptable. This is not the kind of service that I want to pay for. People who do not understand customer service skills should find another field to work in. This will be my last time using UPS.

At 5 am on Tuesday September the 6th, it showed online that my package was on the truck and out for delivery. So my wait began and to ensure that there would be no chance I'd miss the delivery, I opened my front door while leaving my screen door shut to show there was someone at home (clearly this did nothing to help). After having waited many hours and randomly checking the status online, my last check indicated that my package had been delivered at 2:39 pm to side door (what side door??). After several phone calls to UPS, clearly their logic is "Well the package was delivered", even if it wasn't delivered to its proper location.
And apparently their definition of doing and "Investigation" is ME calling the shipper and to ask for a replacement. After being told by "Customer Service" (and I'm using this term loosely) that he already called "The Special Phone Number" that they are given by certain shippers in these type of situations. But of course he says for some strange reason there was no answer. So now it's up to me to contact them myself and plead my case to them. This is known as the UPS investigation process.

The very first time I use UPS and my customer tells me that her mail was tampered with and she was missing 2 items of 4 (she had a single right leather shoulder armor and a gauntlet and was missing the second gauntlet with some small leather straps that had screw on rivets connected to it). She took pictures and sent them to me. The item I sent was in a clear bag. The bag was missing as well as the note I slipped in with the information of what's in the bag. To add insult to injury the thieve stole my business card as well. I had been getting a strange amount of excess views on the night before she received the package and thought it was a great thing but it was probably the thief viewing my online shop.
I do not understand why they claimed that they had to cancel my inspection and have the customer call to continue it but the customer is calling to find out what will be done about the gross violation of her rights. After all it is highly illegal to steal someone's mail. I suspect I may have to contact human resources if nothing is done or if I do not receive information on what will be done to remedy this situation. After all I had to mail another gauntlet out and spent $48.45 on giving the customer a replacement for what she was missing.
It's obvious that there is a thief among your workers who is getting rather wealthy off of doing this to small and large companies alike. The company should be more concerned with finding the culprit instead of trying to get away with it. I had taken a picture of the item I was mailing out to her before I mailed it for insurance purposes such as this. The customer had also sent me pictures of how the items looked before she opened the package as well as the contents of the items. I will certainly never be using UPS ever again.

I was expecting a UPS shipment with signature confirmation. I went out to lunch on the day of scheduled delivery, and no one was home at the time. I returned home, checked the delivery status and found that in my absence, it had reportedly been signed for by someone named "Crayon" (you couldn't make this up). I looked around the property but saw nothing, so I contacted UPS and advised that I thought my package had been stolen. They said they'd investigate and would call back within an hour. 90 minutes later, no call, so I contacted them again. They told me the driver was coming back, but had no further details. So why hadn't I been contacted? So I waited for a couple hours, but the driver never showed up. No phone call, no email, nothing.
Eventually I had another look around, and there it was, stashed on the porch behind the screen door of the porch, with some things placed around it as camouflage. Phew. Still, this is not how a signed delivery is supposed to work, and there was nothing stopping someone from stealing the box off the porch. UPS, train your drivers to do their jobs, not cut corners. And tell your support staff to follow up as promised! It amazes me that anyone would use this service, at least if they're on the receiving end. Terrible service and apathetic staff.

Thursday day I made the decision to stay home on Friday from work because I was expecting 3 packages from UPS. Two emails from two of the scheduled deliveries in for me they would be arriving. Friday at 2:30 in the morning I receive an alert for my phone that my UPS package has arrived. I was asleep and so half awake get dressed and I searched all around my apartment and complex looking for a package. After all a package at 2:30 in the morning probably won't be there when I normally would wake up. I called UPS and they informed me that it was a missed delivery to some place in Mississippi. I was upset and went back to sleep.
The next day I received an email at 1:15 p.m. informing me that since I am not home that my delivery could not be left because I was not home for a signature. I am upset to say the least since I took the day off. I call UPS and she said the driver had came to my place and I was not home. I told her I am home and I have 2 video systems and three cameras watching that front door gate area. It is also a very small area. I told her no one has been here and I also asked about the signature whether the client required one? No answer, just repeated the drivers comment. I hung up but not satisfied with the answer and wondering whether my other package will get here.
I called and asked about that package. They also said that that package was not being delivered because I was not home. I was home! I have a video doorbell and two Nest cam cameras watching the front door from different angles. I emailed the center of one of the packages asking whether they requested a signature. They replied "No they did not". When I call you UPS and informed of the dishonesty they seemed unfazed. No apologies just telling me the driver could not deliver my package because he could not turn back. I replied, "In order for him to turn back he would have had to have been here!" 1 package finally arrived around 5:30. The other package was delivered on the following Monday butt they put it outside by unlock gate.
The irony is I have a My UPS page profile... and instructions are to always leave it inside the unlock Gate. I even left the gate ajar 2 inches to make it obvious the gate was unlocked. The driver left it outside the gate for anyone to pick up on the sidewalk. To date I have no apologies or explanations on how awful they treated me.
