Awful service
On 4-22-2010 7:30 PM I called UPS center at (772-465-7973) talked to “Linda” to check the statues of my scheduled pick up! After she recognized me as the same client that talked to her the day before on 4-21-2010 about the same pick up, she was totally rude and unprofessional.

She interrupts me by putting me on hold for long length of time! I called her again. She kept telling me that they will pick it up tomorrow. I told her “I’ve heard that before, , “yesterday- and the day before” she said “ we have three days to pick it up” I asked for the supervisor, I was told he said the same thing to her and don’t want to speak with me.

I guess that very much explained the way the driver’s carelessness and Linda’s rudeness to customers.

Is this how UPS conduct business now? I have been trapped in my house for three days because of driver refused to do his job.

Please investigate this driver as he keeps braking and damaging my packages shipped to my address.

For more info, originally this package was received as broken item by the same driver! Tracking #xxxxxxxxxxxx666827. now he doesn’t want to pick it up.

I took the time to write you this feedback demanding no harm to Linda nor the driver, however they are in immediate need of training in customer relationship management (CRM), or most valuable customer (MVC), and customer-centric focus. Thanks for your time and effort

for more info, ask linda about the UPS driver who broke my front door.

HORRIBLE delivery service
UPS continually, almost every other package says they can't find my house (which has been here for over 50 yrs) and then when you call to find out the problem you are told you can't call the local center, but they'll have somone contact you which is a 50/50 shot that will happen. Then who knows how many days later your package arrives and I guess they figure if they finally get you, your package it's ok. Well it's not ok and I for one will be and specific any package I have delivered in the future not be delivered via UPS. Hopefully they don't actually rely on customers to stay in business as they have absolutely no customer service!

They never attempt to deliver my package instead
They never attempt to deliver my package, fter waiting two days for my delivery i've come to find out that ups had the package, but since it was placed on the wrong truck and that turck was not in my area they refused todeliver me. After inquiring about my order I was told there was no such address, this is the same adress ups have been delivering to for the past 7 years, all no fault of mine, the end result i never received my packages.Thanks to UPS.This is the second time i've had this problem.

I personally will never ship with UPS again
I had a laptop, and UPS said they dropped it at my house, and then the driver said a woman came outside and got the laptop as he was leaving. No signature, and unfortunately no one was home as we had gone to Tacoma, yes we have receipt, and my husband was at work. So I call, open a claim, and wait, and wait and wait. Then after receiving no response for 2 months, I call UPS back, and they say, yes they did the trace, and then closed the claim, because I was not the shipper. I said why I not received any notification, as I had opened the claim, and they said I wasn't the shipper, and I needed to contact the shipper to get them to open a claim. I said No problem, so I called the shipper, and asked them to do so. They said they would do it immediately. I was very happy. Later that day, I received a call from Cheryl in the Tualatin shipping office, and I was told, that they have special GPS, which notifies them where the truck is and it was at my house, and I was in a cul-de-sac and she asked how many houses were in the cul-de-sac. I said 5, and she said “You are the middle house, correct? I said yes I was. She then told me that the driver had dropped of the package at my house, and someone had taken the package from him." Yes, that is a 3rd story.

I said really as we were out of town, and I had receipts and Bank statements from the trip. She then told me how there was a large trailer, or RV in front of my house and my truck. I got really suspicious at this point, because we don't own a trailer or an RV. So I said" did your driver deliver it to the house with the trailer/RV?" as 2 of my neighbors have trailers/5th wheels. She said no we had one, and it was in front of my house, and I was the middle house. She then told me, I had to contact the police, file a report and call with a file number. I said ok. She said and I am quoting "Until you file a police report, we are not doing anything. And we are not going to move ahead with processing this claim". Then she hung up. I was upset with the entire snide tone and the backhanded way she was calling me a liar. I then called the local police, and was told they would have an officer call me. I said ok. While I was waiting, I was telling my husband about the rudeness and almost outright insinuation. I was describing the house as she did and my son, who is 16, said she didn't get that from GPS, she got it from Google Earth. I said how do you know and he said he downloaded it for the flight simulator and then looked at our house and the picture is from 3 years ago, when we did own a truck and an RV.

I could not believe it, and so he showed me, and he was right, there was our house exactly as Cheryl had described. I was so mad, so after the officer called, I called Cheryl back and gave her the file number, and then I told her, I found her insinuations totally rude, and her outright lies to be very, very unacceptable. I asked to talk to her supervisor, and she said I will forward the file number on. And she hung up on me. I don't know what the resolution will be for my missing laptop, but I personally will never ship with UPS again.

UPS has bad shipment, and I will not trust it with anything in the future
I am very dissapointed in UPS. I ordered an iPod from Apple, with engraving. My brother ordered one too, and got his a little later than expected. My order, however, has not moved for FOUR entire days, even after a departure scan that was almost 36 hours ago. It is currently 8:52 PM in Shanghai, and it has been over 5 days since anything has moved. I am VERY dissapointed in UPS, and I doubt that the customer service would be any good if I complained.

NOTE: There is no "Weather Delay" or anything to even provoke a possible delay. UPS has bad shipment, and I will not trust it with anything in the future.

Oh yes- and WHY exactly on the UPS site is the United States the FIRST COUNTRY? Who cares if they dominate the world, they do know how to scroll down a box, and this ridicules your international customers.

Customer service
I tried to send this email. I will be calling again tomorrow:

To Whom it May Concern:

I sincerely hope this email doesn't fall through the cracks or gets ignored. Yesterday I received my final notice for a package to be sent to my house. I called the number on the back and followed the instructions on how to set it up so that I could pick it up at the hub here in Austin on Tuscany. I took the time off work and went in this morning. I was told by the service rep that they did not have my package there. She said that somehow it got on a truck, but she didn't know which truck it went on. She gave me a manager's number to call and that was it. No "sorry for your inconvenience" for basically driving all the way out there for nothing. She did give me a hopeful time estimate and a number of a manager to call. As I had a lot of things to do that day, this really was an inconvenience. Well, the time for my package to arrive came and no package. I waited another hour as I worked from home. Nothing. I called the number. The manager, Locke, was short with me and impatient. She said it's on a truck and I'll receive the package later on tonight. Seeing as I have classes after work, this would again be a very big inconvenience to me. She spoke to me like it was somehow my fault for having a day job and not being there to pick up the package. When I told her that I called the number and followed the instructions for me to be able to pick it up and that I had five days to pick up the package, she said that I was wrong and that they would have just shipped it back if I wasn't there to get it the third time. I wondered why the instructions were different from the 800 number on the slip than what she was giving me. She spoke to me like I was a child and once again, I didn't get any apology for the inconvenience. I hung up the call feeling that she didn't care that my package was put on a truck at all and that it was no big deal when it was to me. It greatly concerned me that my package would have been shipped back simply because I had the audacity to work a day job in an office.

Wanting to find out if it would be shipped back and to file some complaint about the customer service I received, I called the 800 number. It was there that for the first time, I actually got an apology for what I was going through. They took down the name and number and told me that they would check in on Locke at the Austin UPS Hub and do some research into it. They also told me that according to their records, my package was there at the hub. I decided to go there as I didn't want to have to be late for work tomorrow picking up a package that I should have already been able to pick up today.

I arrived there and was told to wait while they got the manager. She came out and was immediately defensive. She said, rudely, that she already told me that my package was on a truck and I would be getting it around 6pm tonight. I told her that I spoke to the 800 number and they said it was here. She said that since they were in a different city and she's here, she would know better than them. She said that the guy loading the truck didn't know what third attempt means. Instead of taking this as an opportunity to offer to train this person so this mistake doesn't happen again, she again makes me feel like I'm the idiot. Funny, because I thought I was the customer. Again, even when admitting that they made the mistake, she still didn't offer any sort of apology and acted like I was both stupid and an annoyance more than anything else. You know, a lot can be tolerated with a simple apology and an acknowledgment that the customer has been inconvenienced. I wasn't even remotely extended this courtesy at all. Instead she acted harassed that she even had to speak to me. I told her that not one time until I complained to the 800 number of what happened that I didn't get any apology for my inconvenience. She didn't blink, didn't seem to care and was just defensive. I don't think saying sorry when you already know you did something wrong is too much to ask, do you?

I don't know if this complaint will make a difference, but I do know that you have officially lost a customer. There is no excuse to make a customer feel like an idiot or stupid, especially when you were the ones to make the repeated errors in this situation. I would like this complaint to be escalated if possible seeing as how I never got contacted back for further questions from my call.
UPS - village of idiots April 9, 2010
Somewhere a village of idiots has gone missing...and they are wearing UPS uniforms
Below you can see the days and most of the incidents written out to the customer service department via e-mail. The most recent was to a second level of their customer service department and I wanted to write this person's supervisor and suggest that her evaluation include the phrase "Maryann P. is a shinning example of "you can't fix stupid." She has lower reading comprehension skills than Special Olympics kids I coached!

In the e-mail string I enumerated the issues with UPS and calling their 800# as well as the "UPS Customer Center" that "is not there to answer calls from customers." What a statement! Though at least when I did call they did not seem offended that I had their #. Total phone calls was about 12, including the one on the first Friday where it took over an hour for the 800 # (since the customer center does not have a listed ph#) to figure out where 8200 was actually located. The last attempt to deliver (AFTER a 07:16 phone call from the "customer center" when I reiterated that I had no interest in accepting any packages from UPS) the driver left ANOTHER tag and tore the note I left stating I would no longer accept UPS deliveries...he three it on the ground next to the door. Of course, it can't be their fault that they don't follow their own directions on the tags they leave!

Dear Cindy,

Thank you for your response. I contacted your local Package Center and spoke with Brendan. He stated he spoke with you previously about this package. Unfortunately, the driver cannot leave the package due to its size and value. Your package will be returned to the shipper unless you want to pick it up at the center. Please let me know if you want to pick it up and I will notify Brendan. I apologize I was unable to assist you further with this issue.

Please contact us if you need any additional assistance.

Ma'am, ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /
Unless you can have someone personally call me, give me their name and # and hand deliver the package to me tonight when I get home from my appt. (at or around 9p.m.), then I don't know how you expect this to happen since you will just send it back to the people that have already lied to me blatantly.

I am roundly offended at the "third attempt" phrase as it implies I have not been cooperative with the delivery process, when I actually have followed it, only to have your organization, and specifically the driver NOT follow the directions on the paperwork that the driver left on my door.

In addition to the driver NOT following the instructions on the tags (all signed BTW) which HE put on my door, the driver would have been told yesterday that there was no way in which I was going to hang out at home all day.

Thus, bringing a package which he refuses to leave in exchange for the tag that states "Signature Required" (1st choice of those) and that gives directives on the reverse stating that the recipient can either be present, OR sign the bottom (where it has a sign and print area) and the driver will leave the item, but the driver refuses to leave the item, is a confirmation of a lack of judgement and sanity.

Apparently the derth of communication in your organization continues rampantly because in addition to, delivering other packages but not the one for which a signed tag is on the door nor leaving any explanation, NOT delivering on the days that I have voice mail confirmation of from the dispatch, leaving additional tags with THE EXACT SAME DIRECTIVE TO SIGN AND LEAVE ON THE DOOR FOR THE DRIVER, not delivering in an evening when he has specified he would and I have agreed I would be home...and I stayed on
the first floor of my home for 3.5 hours to ensure I did not miss the door knock.

This morning 8APR10 at aprox. 0730 EST the local UPS office called me about this package anD I told them, as I have instructed the merchants that were going to ship to me via UPS, I NO LONGER RECOGNIZE UPS AS A VALID DELIVERY SERVICE AND WILL NOT ORDER NOR ACCEPT PACKAGES VIA THEM. The caller clarified and confirmed with me that meant that the package could go back to the merchant as I would not take a day off from work because UPS can't pull their heads out of their fourth points of contact. The
merchants and factories which had a package already in the UPS system recalled them and I iwll receive them happily via FedEx, regular mail or trucking company. Those that had not yet shipped, either chose another delivery

Hello,
I had another item already ordered and enroute via UPS. I have called the merchant, explained the entire below issue, and they are recalling the package so that it can be sent by a more responsible, honest, and communicative delivery driver.

1Z8V730W0314387773

UPDATE - So, Friday when I couldn't spend longer than the two hours in traffic and on the phone with the 800# to find the place, I requested that it be delivered instead and got a phone message from a man (I still have it in my voice mail) that the package would be delievered on Monday.

Monday: The deleivery driver left another UPS package, but no explanation why the first package was not left and did not take the signed ticket.

Tuesday: I called again during the day (and left the tag on the door), the lady told me that it would be delivered Wednesday, that she could not give me even a reasonable guess as to the time of delivery, but confirmed that i did not need to be present as I had signed the tag.

Wednesday: At 1205 the driver came by and left ANOTHER TAG on the door above the one that i had left attached to the screen door handle. I came home, saw the second tag in addition to the remaining first tag and called the 800#. I was told that the driver was uncomfortable leaving the package because it was an LCD screen. I called the service center itself at 1240. I was told it could then be delivered on Thursday. I said, no I was not going to wait around all day without any clue as to when they would
appear. The lady put me on hold and came back, she stated that the driver would deliver it Wednesday night after 5:30 (1730), but no end time.

2100 Wednesday night: I call the 800#, and am told they could be delivering up to 2200 (10:00 p.m.) so I ask that he contact the delivery center and find out if the driver is enroute. I become livid because he is stating that they are going to deliver it THURSDAY! I call the delivery center, THE DRIVERS ALL ARE IN BY 1900 (7:00 P.M.), so it is NOT going to be delivered tonight, no, it is supposedly going to be delivered on Thursday, sometime, who knows when, but since THE DRIVER IS DECIDING NOT TO LEAVE
THE PACKAGE NOR DELIVER IT WHEN I AM HOME WAITING FOR THREE AND A HALF HOURS, there is no logical reason for me to believe that the package will actually be delivered.

I know that another delivery is coming between 0700 and 1100 and that the driver is going to call me 40 minutes prior so I can still go to work. I did inform the delivery center person Wednesday evening that since this driver or the lady that I spoke with lied about delivering tonight while I was home, he should hope and pray that I am NOT home, because HE will be the one that I hold accountable for the lie.

I am contacting the merchant again and strongly suggesting (I have bought computer items from them on at least a few occasions) that they change delivery organizations. Not because the driver is uncomfortable leaving what he feels is likely to be taken illegally once left, but because there is inadequate communication, complete lack of respect for the time of the person receiving the package, etc. etc. etc. Either way, any additional items coming to me, will have to come by any other delivery means than
UPS (The Fed Ex driver missed me one day, and when I called within the hour he came back by at the time that he told dispatch that he would. That kind of service I greatly appreciated).

Exceedingly UPSet April 8, 2010
Deceptive business practices
Unfortunately, the only shipping option for several oversized items ordered from a farm store was UPS. Since UPS delivers after 5pm at my residence, I surmized that there would likely be a small risk of delivery difficulties. I obviously underestimated the situation to a vast degree. Unique to these items, UPS refuses to deliver them at the normal scheduled delivery time for the area and insists they be delivered between 9am-12pm. Much to my chagrin I'm not independantly wealthy and must work, so daytime delivery is not going to happen especially since UPS is requiring a signature for these items. There is "allegedly" the option to change the delivery day online, but interestingly each time a patron tries to select that particular option, the UPS website yields a pop-up indicating that "selection is not available at this time". It doesn't make a difference what time the patrion attempts the online change; 6pm-1am, 4am-5pm, I've tried it all and at anypoint during the day the same pop-up rears it's ugly head. Of course you can call UPS to change delivery schedule, but of particular interest is the fact that the fee to do so via phone-in is costs more than if the change is performed online. To validate my hypothesis that a scam was afoot, I called UPS to inform them of the online issues with the "change delivery" option. Initially they vehemently denied there was a problem, since they obviously "had no problem getting into the system and changing delivery day options" from their system. At my insistance that they try to access their own website externally like the "average joe", they found much to their "surprise" that they couldn't access that particular option online either. Website malfunction, or purposeful deception to increase monetary gain? You decide. To add insult to injury, UPS call center reps indicated there is no way to change package delivery to Saturday, although that option is clearly stated in the terms on the website with the fee for doing so specified.

Needless to say, the items ordered will be going back to the original supplier due to failure to obtain the delivery signature that UPS requires. I also have informed the supplier that I will not be ordering from them again until they provide another shipping option... I'll be d@mned if I use UPS anymore.

Dishonest delivery practices
UPS... is unreliable... I have been working on the delivery of my 3 day select package, which should have reached me on Thurday. By Friday, I gave UPS a call because I had not received mypackcage. I was told that there was an adjustment that had to made on weight charges, back to the sender. Apparently there was a discrepency in regards to charges. This was not discovered upon at drop off, nor was it discovered during the 3 days during transit.

I contacted customer service, three times on Friday evening before the hours of 7pm and was told that showed it was out for delivery and I could receive it until 8 pm... Waited for my package, it never arrived. I contacted a supervisor who was only able to tell me that they wer already gone r the day.. and that will have to wait until Monday to obtain infomation on my package.

Bottom line, customer service only provides you with the information that is provided on the website. They have no means of contacting the driver. Unlike FEDEX.. there is nowhere to pick up your package after hours. I have been waiting on this packcage all week. It was a part for my dismantled SUV... which is sitting in the mechnics shop dismantled since the previous week... Very important, that I receive this package, because I am being charged.

I would never rely on this delivery service.. Simply, reckless, unaccountable and unable to provide satifactory customer service. You would think that a mistake was made, perhaps they would offer to delivery on Saturday.. NO chance.. "those packages are reserved for airport deliveries only"

Failure To Provide Service As Promised
Those are the words you hear from UPS when they fail to provide the service you paid for. Every UPS rep I talked to tonight had the same thing to say about their failure, "I'm so sorry Sir", that phrase must be in their training manual.
I have a plane to catch at 6am Friday morning for a project in the Caribbean and I ordered some specialized tools that I need for the project to be delivered 2nd Day Air. Tracking number 1Z1268710210003668.

When the UPS truck made a delivery today, I asked about this package and the driver said, "it's not on this truck, maybe another truck will be coming."
I called UPS customer service around 4pm today and asked about deliver status. The UPS rep said "It's on the truck and is scheduled to be delivered today, they have until 7pm to deliver."
6:30 and no UPS delivery, so I called UPS customer service and they tell me the same thing "It's on the truck and is scheduled to be delivered today, they have until 7pm to deliver."
10:30 I call customer service and they tell me "It's on the truck and is scheduled to be delivered today." I asked the rep if he really believes there are UPS trucks out at 11pm delivering packages, he answers "I'm so sorry Sir."
I ask the rep if UPS will ship the package to my destination in the Caribbean at their expense. "I'm so sorry Sir, but there will be an additional $271.00 charge for this."
So, it will cost me an additional $271.00 for their failure. WTF, if I ran my business like that I would be out of business in a week.
My shipping advice - FedEx.
