Delivery person couldn't find my building which is 3 blocks away from their warehouse.
Since the delivery person couldn't deliver the package I asked to pick it up. So I get to the warehouse and the lady asked my ID, I show my driver's license, and she demands a bill that goes with the address the package is being delivered to. I don't pay my work bills, so that was impossible. I ask to see a manager and she says, there no manager and there're no supervisor, you deal with me. I spent 4 hours dealing with customer service and they were unable to help, saying if you want to have your package rerouted it's going to cost you. I will avoid UPS for the rest of my life. Try to do the same.

Signature was required but they delivered anyway
I had a package stolen from my house that was worth over $200. I reordered the item and requested that a signature be required for delivery, as I cannot sit home all day waiting for this package, and I was planning on having to go to the UPS dispatch to pick it up. The driver decided to leave the package on my doorstep again even though a signature was required and I was not home. It was of course stolen again, and when I called UPS to complain their representative said that it was my fault and would not concede that I was in the right to think that requiring a signature for delivery has any bearing on what the driver actually does. He said that, "it is up to the driver if he wants to follow that, its his discretion." Why even have this option if lazy drivers can just disregard it because they don't want to carry the package back to their truck. UPS has been excruciatingly painful to deal with and if I have my way I, and all of my friends, family, Facebook friends, twitter followers, and anyone else who will listen will NEVER use UPS again. This has been the worst customer service I have ever dealt with and if I do not get a satisfactory response from someone at the company I will have no choice but to sue. UPS is a common carrier so you have a fiduciary duty to make sure what I am asking you to do gets done. This was not the case and I can prove it.

Damaged cargo
I work on the road 350 days a year and I ship my luggage from job ti job to save time and space in my vehical. I shipped my luggage three days before I left for north dakota. They lost my package then shipped it to me showing up over 2weeks late. The when I opened it almost all my stuff was broke. I called their claims and no one could help me. I had over 2000$ worth of stuff broke from my brandnew laptop to my ps3. Not happy with any of this, I will never ship amother thing with ups.

Pick up location very far away, not open on weekends
I was not able to take time off work to be home for the delivery of my package, and the other option was to pick up the package myself from their location. The location was over 45 minutes away and wasn't open on weekends, so I had to rush after work and fight rush hour traffic to pick up a package that I'd paid to have delivered to me. It was completely inconvenient. And I live in Toronto, Canada's largest city. I cannot believe that is the best UPS can do. Surely I should be able to request that it be delivered to one of their locations closer to me.

UPS failed to deliver, not once, not twice but 3 times!!
My next-day UPS delivery was scheduled for Weds 9Oct but unfortunately I was at work so the driver left a UPS InfoNotice. He didn't bother to fill out any of the blanks, just left a note stuffed in the letter box. I called their office on Weds evening and spoke to their helpdesk, changed the delivery address and asked them to deliver on Thursday 10 Oct. Rescheduled for Thur 10 Oct no-show! Rescheduled for Fri 11 Oct no-show!! Rescheduled for Mon 14 Oct no-show!!! UPS failed to deliver on 3 occasions, the local office made false statements and now they refuse to return my calls. Probably the worst courier company in the world.

Package delivery
I ordered a pkg from QVC and UPS would not leave it at neighbors apt even though it was in next bldg. When I went to UPS facility I was told that it was at drivers discretion to leave it not., so instead of leaving pkg UPS came to my apt 3 times and could have left pkg on second trip. It was a wedding gift and I couldn't get it in time to leave for wedding. This is lousy service from a company that I have trusted for over 40 yrs. From now on it will bEe FEDEX OR USPS.

Package Went Out For Delivery and I Never Got It!
I ordered two items from the same place within the same order. Both items shipped at the same timw but in separate boxes, but the tracking info was the same. I got part of the order on November 1 since I paid for overnight shipping. I waited all day for the second box which had a status of "out for delivery". I called ups after it hadnt arrived by 9pm and they assured me it was guaranteed to be delivered that day. Long story short the item never arrived. When I checked the status in the morning it jow read "in transport". When I called ups, I was transferred all over the place and even hung up on. They never once could find a reason why the package wasnt delivered. All they could say was that I would have to wait until monday since the facility was closed for the weekend. Thanks ups...I should have known better than to trust your services. They could not have been more rude and unhelpful if they tried. Im extremely upset and disappointed with ups!!!

Don't trust delivery times
Do not trust the delivery times on your notices! At first my delivery time told me by end of day(7:30pm) so I made arrangements to be home all day. Then my tracking status was changed to between 3pm and 7:30pm so I ran out and got a haircut, was gone for 45 minutes, and came back to find that they tried to deliver it at 12:37! To top it off I authorized them to leave it at my door via MyUPS and I was told that "it was at the drivers discretion". Now I have to wait till tonight around 8pm to go pick it up myself! With todays technology and instant updates they still can't get it right!

Driver Forgot to drop off my package
I ordered a package for next day delivery never received it. I was furious with my vender. I received the tracking number and seen the package was sent. notes on the status stated customer not available on 1st attempt. I checked my cameras to find that the driver pulled up to my driveway never got out of the car. got distracted by a pedestrian and started a 15min conversation then drove away. To top it off he was honked at by an employee trying to get into my drive way. he pulled forward and continued his conversation. I called customer service spoke to a manager and was told someone will call me back. 3hrs later still no call and no package. WTF are they doing????

Driver No - Shows
UPS should be called United Pissey Service. I just recently moved to an apartment building downtown. I shop on line often and UPS is the service that most online companies use. Almost every week, I'm calling customer service because the drivers usually won't show up. Of course calling the call center is a joke, and I usually have to go get my packages because UNITED PISSEY SERVICE wont deliver them. They lie and say that they tried to deliver. The funny thing about that is, the building I live in has security cameras on the inside as well as the outside. When I tell customer service the phone goes silent. Rating them would be unfair since there are no negative minus one to choose from.

No refund
I order some stuff for 1 day shipping. They never told me I would need a signature. I thought they would just drop it off at the door, but no they took it back and said they cant give me back the one day delivery refund because they tried to deliver it. RIP OFF! They try to tell me they'll try again the next few days, but I will be gone all the times they would drop it off. I only have a bike and can't go pick it up myself (beats the purpose of a delivery)UPS sucks. They pretty much *** people out of shipping money. Hopefully I can get my stuff because I ordered one day shipping for a reason! They were presents for someone's birthday! UPS can go burn in ***.

Dont waste any money on UPS insurance
Three different packages over 7 years- always the same response- you did not use enough protection packaging- the latest package was shipped in the DELL FACTORY box. Still they denied the payment - and to make matters worse they said the box was destroyed so they just threw away?? I must be the village *** here- tried going up the ladder of administration - each said they would send paper work to file a claim - never received - they hope you will forget??? Let me see if i get this straight in my mind? You wont pay the claim ? and you wont give me the contents? and - You wont pay the claim ? wow should have read the internet complaints and not waisted my time

Rude customer service/package sent back to shipper
I received in the mail that I had a package waiting for me at UPS, but I had only two days to pick it up. It's impossible to pick up a package when the store is open 8 AM to 7 PM, but your shift starts at 7 AM to 7 PM. The lady at the counter was rude and condescending. When I called customer service, she advised that I had not responded to their notice, and I explained to her that I did not have enough time to respond. The only advice I got was have the shipper resend the package. Thanks UPS for the great customer care!

Verified ReviewerUPS destroyed my computer and refuses to fix it
I was moving back home from Vancouver, WA and shipped a very expensive computer used for 3D Animation. I declared the value of the computer, and although I was a little hesitant as the woman at the UPS store seemed like she was in training, I paid the 200.00 shipping fee and flew back home to Missouri. Upon delivery the boxes corners were smashed in, the foam peanuts were 6 inches from the top of the box, and the tape was barely hanging on. When I removed the computer I heard something rattling inside, which was both Hard Drives broken loose from the rails and had been bouncing around destroying the motherboard and Video Card. Upon calling UPS they wanted me to get a 3rd party estimate on repair which I did. The total came to $1,394.16 which replaced the hardware, recovered data on the hard drives, and the labor. 3 weeks later UPS is saying that the data recovery, which was quoted right around $600.00 for both drives, is not covered and they refuse to pay it. So I have been out of work for 3 weeks and they are not wanting to fix the package to 100%... Horrible company, as much as I hate FedEx it looks like I am going there instead from now on.

Humph! All this *** reminds me of an experience I had with a moving company once.
When I looked at the paperwork, the man in charge of the crew that did the moving assessed all of my stuff as "damaged" in some way shape or form. Deny it or not, but I KNOW that he did that just to cover the company's butt in case any damage did occur during the move.
Thats what I thought but the package weighed 14 pounds and I would bet the driver didn't want to carry it back to the truck. No one signed for the package that I can tell on the UPS website even though it says it was delivered at 1:44pm on that day.
I got home at 7 and it was not there, called the UPS hotline and the guy said that its "up to the drivers discretion if they want to follow that checked box requiring the signature or not." I asked him to clarify and he repeated this phrase a few times, then I asked to speak to his manager and he said he couldn't do that and I had to file a missing package report with the company I ordered the package from.
Effectively, UPS is not at fault at all, in his, and the corporation's mind.
Correct. Simply writing signature required on the box does nothing.
You have to pay for that service ahead of time when creating the shipment. No fraud on UPSs part.
No, as "Wanda" stated, it is impossible to have a signature required and leave it without a signature.
The first question to ask is
"What is the name of the person who signed for it?"
What does the tracking history show?
ups.com track a shipment.
A driver CANNOT leave a package without a signature when one is required, the delivery board will not close out the stop without a signature, which means the driver cannot record another stop in the board until the existing stop has been finished.
The tracking history will help shed more info on this, as what we have is not enough to work with.
I had a package delivered yesterday.... but it was to the wrong house.
A block away on a different street. The driver left it on their steps. I do live in a little town and thank god the people knew me and called me this morning. It had signature required on it because it was a very expensive item.
When I went online to track it today to see what it said... The status is that it was delivered yesterday and signed for with my last name.
Huh... I know the people that found it on their doorstep didn't sign for it so I guess the driver did.
