Can the people at UPS read English or spell?
My package was suppose to be delivered to an address in Minnesota
instead it go sent to Illinois
the package arrived at their Chicago area hub on a Thursday and now they are going to sit on it for five days and then send it to Minnesota Hub on Monday where it should have gone in the first place
I am wondering when the package gets to Minneapolis just how many more days its going to sit at the Minneapolis Hub before it gets put on another truck
and which one of the other fifty states its going to end up in?
I also talked to the UPS and they just passed the blame onto the sender
but the tracking info clearly says that the package is to be delivered to a location in Minnesota by a certain date.
not to Illinois !
I do not understand why when my package got sent to the wrong hub it did not get put on the next truck or plane that was going to Minneapolis Why are they going to let it just sit in Chicago for five days?

I bought something online and it shipped via UPS. I hadn't received the package so naturally I went online to track it and found it it was "delivered" the previous week. When I called to find out where the package was all they said was that it was left at the front door and confirmed by the driver. Now to understand why I feel this is unethical, I must state that I live in an apartment building that you cannot access without a key to get passed the front door. Therefor, they decided it was their right to leave the package in front of my building where anyone can have access to my package. The driver felt is was at her/his discretion to feel free to leave the package in front of an apartment building in a city. After I opened a claim it was closed immediately because I was not the shipper and all it told me was that it was delivered at the front door. They told me to have the shipper contact them to open an investigation, which I did. The shipper came back and told me they told him the same thing and nothing could be done because it was their right to leave the package (in front of an apartment complex).

After many calls and absolutely no success and plenty of rude and incompetent phone conversations the seller actually shipped me another package while he attempted to get a refund from UPS. Now I contacted them today and asked them if I can just pick it up at the UPS store it was currently at, therefor it would not have to get sorted and sent back out, but no you cannot do this they said. Ok, so I asked them if they could not just leave it in front of my apartment building again because, in my mind it would be like me "delivering" a package to your home address and leaving it on your street "near" your house. Obviously anyone would have access to that, but again I was told that UPS drivers are allowed to leave a package wherever they want, this is what they told me.

Basically, as long as I live I will never use UPS as long as I have control over the situation and if that means I have to pass up on a great deal so that I can not give money to UPS, so be it. I will not support such an unethical and incompetent company such as UPS. No wonder they are still in business, all they do is steal from the public people.

Ordered something online, paid extra for the package to be delivered to my doorstep in two days. The package was never delivered on the day it was supposed to be, I called the company (that day) and they said that UPS put it as delivered. I got a couple of phone calls from UPS after a few minutes, and the next day the driver came to my house to ask me about the situation and she said she pointed at my house to the helper and told him to walk the packages over to the house she pointed at, which she said was mine... but that couldn't be because I never heard the doorbell like how they always ring it whenever they deliver a package to my doorstep! This has never happened to me before, and I shop online A LOT. When I told the driver that there were no boxes on my doorstep, she dared to say, "Oh, well we've been so busy... gosh I wish I paid more attention to him!" and I couldn't help but to think "You have GOT to be f****** kidding me!!!" I feel like I spent twenty extra dollars to have my package (containing adult stuff inside and it has my name and address on it) lost. I'm not ashamed of what I order because I'm an adult anyway, but does a stranger who might have my package really need to know personal stuff like that about me? (NO!) Well, that's my complaint, sorry if I rambeled on about it, but it's $51 just gone.

UPS charged me $20 for not including the suite number in the address line for my packages. The physical address was labeled correct. Because I did not include the suite number on my packages they billed me extra. I did call UPS and they ofcourse were very sorry for my mistake. But, that is the charge $10 per incorrect address, but I had the correct address I insisted. Didn't matter. To me that is nothing more that stealing from your customer. I asked how about alerting me so the mistake can be corrected. NOPE. Again she apologized and there was nothing she could do for me. THIEVES

I ordered a shipment from the states for 3 pair of shoes and unfortunately my shipper decided to use UPS as the shipping company. thats when this terrible ordeal began.

After one delivery attempt i find this in the comment sections of the tracking number.

"DRIVER NEEDS SECURITY ACCESS WHICH MUST BE OBTAINED FROM RESIDENT/CONSIGNEE IN ORDER TO ENTER BUILDING / UNDELIVERABLE INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENT. UPS IS OBTAINING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS OR APPROVAL FOR RETURN SHIPMENT."

So i called them to arrange a alternate pick up, I was told that they would make a second attempt so I can just wait for that or make arrangement for pick up from a location. I thought ok lets wait for the second delivery attempt, told the agent on the phone my buzzer number for the second delivery attempt and waited for second delivery attempt.

Instead of a second delivery attempt, 3 days later i find this on the tracking number.

"DRIVER NEEDS SECURITY ACCESS WHICH MUST BE OBTAINED FROM RESIDENT/CONSIGNEE IN ORDER TO ENTER BUILDING / RETURNED TO SHIPPER

Alternate Tracking Number

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

I called them back saying whats going on, heres what a few different people told me

1. "You need to talk to UPS Canada, UPS states have no control over what UPS canada does"

2. "the Shipper has authorized the return of the package so that overrules your request for redelivery, you have to contact your shipper"

Both of them sound insane but the second one made more sense so i decided to contact my shipper.

As per my shipper UPS told him that "I REFUSED TO PAY THE BROKERAGE FEE". THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE, I had the exact amount of brokerage fee sitting on my table ever since the package arrived in Canada.

So my shipper talked to UPS to try to reroute a package and even though all this had happened because of a blatant lie by UPS he was not assured that it would be taken care of.

In the meantime i kept talking to UPS, a day later I was told that there is no record of my conversation of me leaving them my buzzer code or anything. so i hang up and call back. this time the agent was able to pull out all the information, saying "It was entered in the wrong section (or wrong department)" not sure what exactly was said.

Next say this appears on the tracking log.

"RECEIVER STATED THEY DID NOT ORDER AND REFUSED THIS DELIVERY / PACKAGE ABANDONED BY THE SENDER AND THE RECEIVER "

So naturally i called them saying that i want that package its not abandoned. So this time the agent puts a note on the file for pick up and assures me that i can pick it up tomorrow morning from a pick up location.

"A DELIVERY CHANGE REQUEST FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL BE PROCESSED / AS REQUESTED, THE RECEIVER WILL PICKUP AT A UPS FACILITY AT THEIR CONVENIENCE. THIS MUST BE WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS "

That sounded like everything is in order again. But i still asked her 3 times, you sureeeeee i can pick it up tomorrow and i was told yes three times.

Next morning i drove 45 minutes to the location. This guys comes out looked at the infonotice and 10 minutes later announces.

"THE PACKAGE WAS APPROVED TO BE RETURNED TO THE SHIPPER AND WAS SCANNED OUT OF THIS PLACE LAST NIGHT"

Naturally i was mad this time, after being assured last evening that its waiting for me, UPS had the nerve to send it back to the states even when the note was there.

Now this is what he said "I just started my shift and the guy who was doing the shift last night is the one who scanned it out". Once again the blame is being passed around.

So i drive back home and called UPS. I gave her the infonotice number and asked here where the package is, shes like its waiting for you to pick up. I am like you suree, shes like, them i told her i was just there and they said its on the way back. She said that since the return has a new tracking number, their system does not interlink them, which is ridiculous and untrue because the customer service guy showed me both the tracking numbers and they were linked. anyways so the girl on the phone listened to me and said "UPS canada send it back, so i have to talk to them, UPS states cannot control what they do".

I politely asked for a manager, she kept insisting that he wont be able to help. But after being promised call up by manager on three different previous occasions, i told her that i am going to quietly wait here.

The manager told me that same story, saying that shipper authorized a return and everything without accepting that it was all due to the misinformation they told him in the first place.

So them i called UPS canada, was told that there was nothing they can do as they package is already on the way back and they shipper probably has to pay the shipping cost again.

This has been an absolute nightmare, cannot believe that UPS treats their customers in such manner. I told that last representative that I know they are too big to care bout one customer but i will make sure that in future everything and anything i get shipped from anywhere in the world is not handled by UPS, wont be buying from any seller unless they use some other service. And i will make sure to tell everyone about this incident.
