UPS stealing from customers - for shame

Recently I shipped a box of gifts to a family member. When the shipment arrived, one electronics item was missing from the box. I reported it to UPS and their "investigation" reported that the box I shipped was not "regulation" and could have been damaged. My insurance claim is void. I have used all the major shippers a thousand times and never had someone steal out of the box. Shame on the person who could do such a thing. Worse yet that UPS could refuse to acknowledge the theft and try to blame it on the box. Shame on you.

Hubby ordered a cricut expression for a belated 40th birthday present on March 14th. Arrived in WV on March 19th on its way to Fredericksburg, VA (one state over) it has yet to arrived it is now March 30.

It would\'ve been easier to drive and pick it up in WV. Oh yeah, was told by Provocraft, that if I didn\'t receive it by the 3rd of April to call them and they will reissue the set send it by UPS. (as this happens often that is why the second time they send it out UPS.

HELLO...wouldn\'t it be wise to just send it out UPS or FEDEX the first time and not lose merchandise and money..... Whatever.....

UPS have the worst international service

I have a pair of prescription glasses sent for San Juan Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic. This package was received at the UPS wharehouse on August 29 and today is Sept 3 and they have no idea when my glasses will be delivered. I will never use this company again. They are lost and have no idea how to deal with customs and other agencies in the country. I tried to get help with the United States UPS customers service and they blew me off stating ¨They will not call me overseas to let me know the reasons for the delay¨ This is the way they treat you after you pay for the service. Be advised and avoid my headaches!

Substitue driver can't find butt with both hands

Our regular driver was out most of the simmer and the sub driver didn't even try to find our house. We even had the phone number on the package and 'we had to call them' and pick it up at the store and one was sent back without even trying to locate us! It has been over a month and we still haven't received it because of the sending company's rules. But we would have had it a month ago if UPS hadn't sent it back! Our regular driver is back and we appreciate him very much!

UPS lost two packages on the same day!!

I ordered two different products from two different companies, and it just so happened that they would be arriving via UPS on the same day. Yesterday (September 4, 2008). So I waited around... I needed to have at least my school text book which I paid over 75 dollars to get in two days. I go out to eat, and come home and there is nothing on my door. I check the status online, and it said it was delivered to the front office and a woman by the name of WENDY had checked it in. I go to the office, only to find that they had no record of the package (they keep track of the tracking number). AND there was no such person as WENDY at the office. I know that my address and such was correct. And I've used UPS before and no problems occurred then. I cannot talk to a single person to SAVE MY LIFE. UGH!!

This happened to me. I have had packages sent to me at this same address for over 20 yrs. On 12/29/09 they stated 2 packages were delivered. Unfortunately I waited until the first week of January to call these 2 different companies. I was surprised to find out that they were delivered on the same day. After numerous calls to ups & the companies (& e-mails) UPS put a tracking on them. Never found. Well, one of the companies refiled but UPS took it as another package lost, even when it showed up that it was the same tracking number used. My problem is that they now refuse to deliver anything to me anymore. The customer service rep. stated because of the dollar amount & 3 were filed. I explained that my neighbor directly across the street calls me if anyone besides a mail service comes to my door & I checked with them & they said they didn't remember anyone else besides the mail person & UPS. So I have several other items expected & I won't be able to get them at my address & UPS is a long ways from my home. If it had only been 1 package delivered & one form sent in from a company this would not happen.

UPS is going overboard - I'm 99.9% sure these packages were delivered to the wrong address. Last time UPS called they asked if I filed a police report & I explained no & that no one told me to & that I was sure they were not stolen as it would have been in the daylight & I live on a busy street as far as cars go but rarely are there people walking down the street.

My complaint is that they won't take in to consideration that this was a one time problem in over 20 yrs. so now companies that only use UPS I can no longer order from. I am going to write a complaint to their headquarters & see what happens.

United parcel service/staples charge for insurance and will not pay

staples took a box over their counter, united parcel service, their partner, destroyed it, refused to payout for the damage they have done because the recipient simply threw it out. THEY AGREE THAT THE DELIVERY DRIVER TOLD THEM THE BOX WAS DESTROYED, THEY AGREE THAT THERE WAS A A 3RD WITNESS FOR THE CLAIM BUT REFUSE TO PAY. DO NOT BUY THEIR INSURANCE I BELIEVE THEY ARE LIARS AND THEIVES. Go somewhere else. I had a similar situation many years ago when they kept on taking the info for a claim down and shuttled me from 1 department to another and eventually I gave up with the claim because it was too difficult to get a straight answer from this company. Fed ex charges less, as does DHL[ I have heard from sources], Fed ex clearly charged me less on my last ground service package.

By way of explanation...

This is a letter that I had to write to a client that kept insisting that there must be cheaper delivery to his address; Good day, Mr. Lxxxxs. I would ask you to look at the feedback that we have managed to keep in good stead all of these years. It is because we really try to make sure that everyone is totally satisfied. I must point out that you have repeatedly asked for extra consideration on shipping, which we simply will not do. In fact, I would be remiss not to remind you that, in the ad, we refuse to deal outside the USA. This incident has a few calling for an end to any requests like this at all. In our area, and for some reason especially with us, UPS and Fed-Ex both have an abysmal record for trashing high-dollar and often very rare music stuff; i.e., tubes, amps, processors and the absolute worst, when they delivered a 1967 Gibson SG to San Francisco and ruined it (the guitar had survived almost 3 decades of being utilized by some top talent). This guitar was in it's proper hard case, within a wooden frame and double boxed, and they still managed to trash it as if it were nothing more than a box of pencils. The Samsonite gorilla would have gotten out of the business after seeing what these untouchable, effete teamster "pros" can do to our prized treasures. On another occasion, they did the same to a Gibson ES 175. Apparently, they consider a "fragile" designation stamp to be a challenge. Further, if you have ever tried to make one of these organized-crime backed organizations make good on the "insurance" that they foist upon one, you will know as well as we that you have wasted your money on the insurance and time on the pursuit. It is a definite "do not do" type of situation, and we are not anywhere near alone in our misery; all complain, some acquiesce. I cannot know your reasons for wanting this particular pickup. I have offered to let you out of this and we both part with no harm, no foul. Yes, it does seem like a lot of money to ship, but we are not the USPS and we do know that, unlike the 'private' delivery companies, they show pride in their accountability, not sneering mockery that one would be so *** as to trust them in the first place. Checking the very convoluted and circuitous UPS website, the best rate I get is over $80, with the same pain-in-the-patoot system and results coming from their "competitor" FedEx. We just do not do DHL. Oy. So, this brings me to my very final point after putting all of this time and effort into satisfying your inquiry; do we, a) both file for a mutual agreement not to complete this purchase, or b) follow through. We need you to be nothing short of completely satisfied. Your call.

UPS SUCKS

UPS has consistently delivered packages to wrong address. This has happened 3 times within the last week. In addition to this once we finally get our package from our neighbor due to it being sent to the wrong address, the package is badly damaged. Lastly, when we tried to reach UPS to file a complaint the Customer Service Representative insisted that we have to have a Tracking Number in order to file a complaint. After giving him the tracking number I continued to explain to him the incompetency of the delivery driver and although I did so in a professional polite manner, the representative hung up on me! UPS SUCKS!

UPS driver deliberately parked across my 3 car driveway--he smashed into my luxury car without looking 4 years ago, because he parked in a awkward position, again blocking my driveway.

Yesterday, he BS'd-me--very unpleasant that he had to make a delivery angled wise to another neighbor, and he told meI HAD to wait to enter my garage---he mouthing back at me---

This guy is a total bully---I reported him the first time, they still have him on the route--

How do I contact UPS--there is NO phone number, but did fill out a Consumer report against this driver and the Company..

It is totally unbelievable that they are so rude and negligent.

How do they stay in business---never have I run into this kind of situation with any business.

i waited all day for my 150 lbs of cat food package to arrive today with food to feed my exotic cats then at 5pm when i checked online the tracking progress there was a message saying they dont have my address so couldnt deliver. when i called to complain the rep.

i spoke to did have my correct address and I was told someone would call me back within the hour at which time i was told i could pick up my packages (an hours drive which i have no transportation so that is impossible) or I will have to wait another 3 days until monday, this isnt the first time this has happened and the way i was treated on the phone and lack of concern is very upsetting. There is nothing I can do but vent this way.

UPS have very unprofessional unpleasant and most of all uncaring employees who have no pride in their work! I was told they dont have radio's or any way to contact a dispatcher when I asked why no one called me to find out what my address was and I was here all day to answer the phone waiting for this food to be delivered, nor did they bother to email me.

Totally unbelievable this day in age I find it very unbelievable and think the driver just felt like starting his weekend early I am livid!!!!

I want the world to know if there is anyone else you can use for delivery I highly recommend you do so and NOT use UPS. Bad excuse of a company.

UPS IS THE WORST DELIVERY SERVICE

I live in Brooklyn - is you are not *** during working hours - how many people are - then good luck getting your package - I have spent hours on the phone trying to arrange pickup - they tell you that you cannot go though the depot after 6 then after several phone calls they "allow" you to go. The depot is far away - I go and the package is not there. Then the staff is abusive and tells me that my package is still on the truck and I was *** to come at that time - but I came at the time I was told to come. They will not redeliver to another location - they argue and spout bureaucratic nonsense. I will not order from any company that uses UPS. Friday night I stood on crutches for an hour only to be told that the package was still on the truck - I had requested on Thursday that the package be removed from the truck - 2 other UPS call assured me that the package was there waiting for me. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT ANY COMPANY CONTINUES TO USE SUCH A TERRIBLE, CONSUMER UNFRIENDLY COMPANY TO DELIVER PACKAGES. THE same woman who was rude, abusive and lazy last September is still the supervisor and is still rude abusive and lazy a year later. That says a lot. I told them to return the package - their website says that I made another request to pick it up at their depot.

Tell me about it. I ordered a weight lifting bench from Sports Authority 4 days ago, and it was shipped via UPS. It was scheduled to arrive today. I left a note by the buzzer in my building to leave the parcel at my door. When I got home, no parcel. I went online to check the progress, and saw "Receiver refused delivery, item being shipped back to shipper". WHAAAAAATT?? I called UPS and was told how "sorry" they were that the driver "misinterpreted" my note, and that there was nothing they could do. Ain't THAT nice! I called Sports Authority, who told me they had a lot of problems with UPS. They are refunding my money, and sending me another weight bench, but are not charging me for shipping...which, unfortunately, is via UPS.

Oh, P.S....the supervisor I spoke with at UPS told me that the driver was going to be "reprimanded" (yeah, right!), and how "sorry" they were.

Totally USELESS.

UPS can't find address, card too late

I just recieved my card today telling me that UPS doesn't know where I live. B/S. They have delivered to me several times before. Now since I am a hardworking person, who works past 7 pm, I will not be able to pick up my package, which by the way is luggage, until AFTER my vacation. FED Ex has no problem finding me. Guess that is the difference between someone who gets paid by the hour, and someone who gets paid by the package. But, anyway, now my wife and I get to go out and buy luggage for our trip, even though we have luggage waiting on us at a location that most banks have better hours.

UPS threw my family pictures away

I recently sent a package to my aunt via UPS containing irreplaceable childhood vacation pictures in a handmade scrapbook along with several other miscellaneous items. I checked the status of the package on the date it was set to be delivered and the update online said that the package was missed at the terminal. The following day when I looked online it said the package was rejected by the recipient. I contacted my aunt and she confirmed that she did not reject the package. I then called UPS and was told that the package had been damaged and it was being returned to me. I asked it I could intercept and have it sent on even if the package had been damaged because most of the items were wrapped individually in plastic, so they should be fine. I was instructed to call the damaged items department and I was then informed that the entire package had been discarded. They said that one of the items in the package leaked and all the items in the package were destroyed. There is no way all the items would have been damaged beyond repair since they were clothes and pictures and plastic wrapped. I was given a claim form to fill out, which I did and the total of the items in the package totaled just under $ 500 which did not include the irreplaceable pictures that were lost. I received a call from UPS and was told that since I did not purchase the optional insurance, they would only be able to pay my claim up to $ 100. I understand that I did not purchase the insurance, but find it hard to believe that there policy is to discard personal property without the courtesy of a phone call. The terminal was very close to my aunts’ house and she would have been more than willing to pick the package up, but again, I was not given the option. Please help me!!!

Whenever a liquid leaks onto a package and the contents are soaked it is handled as a hazardous materials package and everything is discarded. I apologize about your lost items.

UPS said they can not find Sloane Street in London

UPS said that they could not deliver a parcel because they could not find Sloane Street in London. They asked for directions, even though I had provided them with full details, including postcode and they had delivered to the same address on multiple occasions in the past (always with a delay ofcourse!). I was asked to give directions from central London! Even though as they explained, they did not know ehere the driver would be coming from, so in their words "we have to shope for the best" !!! This is totally unacceptable. Sloane Street is one of the most well known streets in London. Surely they must have maps as well that they can use. I wonder whether they know where Oxford Street is!

UPS Delivering Wine

UPS Tracking 925680****04 Attempted Deliver Case of Wine ... day after day they deliver at 12-1PM ... no one home ~ would not accept neighbors signing or people working on the property. Caused wine to sit in 100 degree temps on a truck for 2 days. Refused to deliver later in the day ... why not? Spent 3 hours on the phone with UPS. Then they wanted me to drive over 30 miles to pick it up. They really do not care ... what is amazing they will deliver amazon books from 4-7PM to our neighborhood, but wine can only come when no one is home.

If you want your WHINE,go to the store....

Wow I have seen your posts about every company and how poor there service is. You really need to stop *** about *** things that make no sense.

Ofcourse your neighbor cant sign for your package. Stop wasting peoples time with your wack *** and maybe do something productive...like your job.

Guest

UPS doesn't deliver wine to neighbors or let others sign for it for liability purposes. Imagine the complaints and lawsuits if someone underage received the package. sorry you had to drive 30 miles, but many laws prevent the driver from redirecting deliver

UPS Stole an iPod Touch (delivered empty package).

I sent a friend's brand new iPod to him and he received an envelope that had been cut open, sans iPod. UPS "investigative team" came and picked up the envelope for investigation. That was a week ago and we haven't heard from them since. It was a $300 item mistakenly insured for $250. So now we have to enter the UPS phone menu jungle to try and get some of his money back. It's gonna be a long couple of weeks. This is the second time this has happened to him. Last time, they took a laptop. If your time and packages are valuable to you, do yourself a favor and avoid UPS.

UPS says I refused the shipment I shipped

I purchased a rug from Target, which was shipped to my home via UPS. I received it Thursday. I decided to return it. When driver picked it up Friday, he input that I refused the shipment. Now they are trying to return it to me instead of sending to Target in Ohio. After speaking to 7 people, including 2 supervisors, with numerous assurances that it will be sent to Ohio, it's still in Houston and they're still trying to return to me. What's worse, they're sending to my office. I'm calling the corporate VP tomorrow!

UPS AND THEIR SECRET BACKYARD DOCK

I ordered some things from a nursery... 3 trees... I get delivery here all the time by UPS and often they screw it up. This time, the *** couldnt find my address. No calls for directions from him or anything! I called the office 3 TIMES and gave directions.. Still a no show. Last call to them they said they would re schedule delivery on Monday.. that waould 4 days from the supposed delivery date. These are LIVE trees! and cannot be in a box that long. I told them to foget it, I would pick them up myself. I paid 50.00 in shipping charges and then have to pick them up myself? Well, the next day I drove out to get my trees... This is in Sallisaw Oklahoma. What do I find? Locked doors. So I walked around to the back loading dock. No one. I started calling out hello!! Finally I found a guy hid out in a small building. He took my shipping statement and went to find my parcel.You wont believe what we found there at the Sallisaw UPS Depot. There were packages strewn everywhere around laying in the dirt, tossed under a picnic table and even out in the parking area (gravel and dirt in behind the UPS depot where they load trucks.) I picked a couple of them up, and they were full, taped, and addresses on them for shipping. And here they were tossed in the dirt, gravel and hot sun, just laying out there. Anyone could just walk off with them. Not stacked up, not in a neat pile... I'm saying it looked like they just threw them out and left them lay where they landed. No wonder UPS is always losing packages for people!! Its probably stuck under a bumper or a wild dog drug if off somewhere. I couldn't believe it! These people need put out of business and they have lost me as a long time customer. I have always shipped UPS and I do alot of shipping with our business. No more! S. Gardner
