UPS Delivery

My UPS driver started dropping my packages off at the top of my driveway in the dirt. I've had one computer monitor arrive broken. He arrives later in the evening and some packages I have found in the dark. I have instructions to drop packages off at my front door. I have called UPS over 5 times and no one has contacted me.

UPS Service and Delivery

I ordered clothing from ChicMe. I payed for 2day delivery. I received partial order on time. The order was split cause of the weight I believe. It's been two and a half weeks waiting on the rest of my order. I've been told there was a problem with the address first. (It's the same address the pants were delivered too, I have them on right now) Week one, on hold
I called and confirmed the address they already had. Week two No delivery. Call again last Monday explained it's not an apartment it's a house. I was told delivery would be in the morning. Still no delivery.
Called confirming delivery, this time I was told Wednesday (this was on Monday) Still today no delivery.
I had to remember (cause it's been so long) that this was originally one (1) order. I received part the order to this address. I'm wearing them.
Please explain.
I didn't mention the inconvenience this has created. I'm Moving. And you have over $500 of my belongings you won't deliver. (Keep in mind you delivered the $30 pants with no problem)
Looking for answers
Stacy Percell

Desired outcome: Refund, better service in future and a courteous staff at location

UPS Driver

I had the worst experience today with one of the ups drivers.. she turned up to pick a parcel up 3 days after the date given. I asked her to give me 5 minutes just to put item in box and she lost it. What makes you think I'm going to wait for you? I've got 100 jobs to do your bloody ignorant were her exact words. I was gobsmacked. You can say no but their is a way of saying it. Her behavior was rude intimidating and disgusting. I'm in shock at how she spoke and acted. Hopefully I never have to deal with this company again.

Desired outcome: Apology

UPS Delivery

I am becoming more disappointed with the service provided by UPS. I missed a delivery on Friday which I admit. I had another 2 day delivery that was supposed to be delivered on Saturday as I sit a home waiting and tracking it on the UPS app I watched it change to a failed delivery attempt. This was a lie first of all I have cameras that cover my entire property so I assure you there was no delivery attempt made. So you pay for a two day shipment to only have a driver falsely and say the tried and didn't. I only wish that there was alternative for use consumers besides the two majors. I guess we have to return to regular mail. This is just Awful service.

Desired outcome: I don’t have a solution because we are not afforded one. We are at the mercy of your company. I was going to pick it up but it take a additional 2 additional days.

UPS delivery

I have waited for a shipment for 5 days. then I find out that the product was not picked up from the vendor. I have canceled the order with the vendor and am going to buy it locally. I am so pissed off at ups I can hardly speak. it is impossible to speak to someone, I tried for an hour your customer service is none existent. I will never use ups again and I will not buy from a vendor that uses ups and I will tell everyone i know to use fedex and never ups! I couldn't get the information that i needed, it took the vendor to fine out that the package wasn't even picked up. it only needs to travel 200 miles!
good by ups!

UPS delivery service

This complaint is in regard to the last of 3 separate incidents: the last occurrence starting 9/25/21 with online purchase through Best Buy. Initially received text, an email saying delivery estimate to arrive 9/30/2021.

On Wednesday, Sept. 22, received an email saying UPS update, that package would arrive Saturday, Sept.25th.

On Friday, Sept. 24th, received another email saying UPS update, that package would arrive the next day, Saturday, Sept.25th.

So I stayed home all day anticipating its arrival

Later, Saturday, I received a text from Best Buy that UPS couldn't deliver the package and would be routed to a nearby Access Point. NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE SOMEWHERE TO PICK UP MY PACKAGE! And the box had been beaten up! I'm truly hoping nothing was damaged!

So I called UPS, finally getting through to a human who said the driver told them, they couldn't deliver because no one was home when driver attempted to deliver. THIS WAS A BLANTANT LIE! I have a camera on my door, which shows no one came by to knock on my door.

Mind you, this is the 3rd time a UPS driver claims they couldn't deliver to my address because no one was home to answer. This is unacceptable! I've noticed on these occasions that when it gets late in the day, they won't deliver and lie about not being able to deliver.

Other delivery services have no problems delivering any order I make. Why does UPS have to be so trifling?

The only resolution is to have UPS stop lying about providing service!

Desired outcome: Stop lying!!!

UPS No human customer service representatives....

Evidently UPS does not employee human beings as customer service representatives.

I shipped a package and requested that it be held at location if the recipients were not available at the time of delivery because of their very busy schedule. Instead, UPS made 3 delivery attempts and then notified me that the shipment was being immediately returned to me.

I attempted to call their customer service to see if there was something that could be done but found that UPS does everything it can to avoid any type of human interaction with its customers. Instead of employing humans as customer service reps, UPS only provides artificial intelligence with limited capabilities and provides no means of requesting to be connected to an actual human.

I will never ship with UPS again...NEVER!

UPS Shipping and Customs fees suspected to be a scam

On the 8th of September a package was shipped with UPS and the sender paid for both shipping and customs fees which was 4, 103.94 ZAR from the US. We were never informed about any additional charges. It was exported as a gift so we obviously knew that no additional fees needed to be paid. As I was tracking the package, it was set to be delivered on the 15th of September and on that day, it was never delivered. I checked the site again and it said the package was in clearance and I waited a week for it. I then called the Kempton Park office to ask about the package and they told me that it might be delayed because I need to pay a fee and that they'd send me an email with an invoice and the bill. The bill came through and it was the same charges the sender of the package paid, 4, 103.94 ZAR. They told us SARS was involved and that the package is being taxed because of the items in it (which are a gift and it doesn't make sense that we're being taxed on that). We also communicated with SARS and they know nothing about the fees we're being charged. They told us we need to pay the ridiculous fees or they're sending the package away. We'd like to know why we need to pay fees SARS knows nothing about and why I can't get my package and get this over and done with because I've waited 3 weeks for my package and I can't wait any longer.

Desired outcome: To get my package without paying ridiculous fees that no one told us about

UPS Package delivery

UPS South Africa is charging my sister R4000 claiming that SARS is the one that's invoicing that. When I check that link there's no sign of SARS or SARS logo meaning they just want to scam her. When I sent the package I declared it as a gift so it doesn't have any problem with customs. Which it didn't. But UPS wants to charge us when customs already cleared the package.

Desired outcome: Send the package to the person it is intended to

UPS Package not received

To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to share my experience with UPS delivery. There should be zero stars option for reviews. I have had plenty of bad experiences with UPS and I let them all slide, but now I am tired.
There should be zero stars option! UPS is horrible. I do not know why companies still choose UPS as a shipping option. 8.5/10 you will never get your package. I have several stories to share. I ordered a sports bra from Nike.com last fall and it did not make it to me by the delivery date. It was delivered to someone else. I made 4 phone calls and spoke with several reps and a mgr. They didn't seem surprised at all. Anyway, I started a claim and called Nike to inform them of the debacle. Nike was very apologetic and refunded me my money. But I would like to say that it's not always about receiving the refund if you really needed the item. The bra finally arrived 2 weeks after the fact, but it had been opened and resealed! Fast forward to this year.
I ordered a rug from Amazon and who is it being delivered by? You guessed it, ol half-... UPS. The rug never made it to me because it stopped off in TN to rest a bit. I called Amazon and they refunded me my money. Again, I needed the rug.
So, Sept. 7, 2021, I ordered a handbag for my birthday, cute I might add. Sept 9th it was shipped, and arrival date should have been Sept 14th... As of today, Sept 17th I have no handbag. The tracker continues to say it's on the way like it always does when packages go missing/ (Stolen).. The automated system is set up to say the same thing the online tracker says. Live agents aren't available or probably tired of hearing the complaints. I filed yet another claim.. yaddi yaddi yada. I went to the distribution center to ask about my package and was told by the girl at the counter that it was last scanned in TN, but tracking information shows Bham, AL. I don't believe any of it. The package should have made it to me with no problems. It sounds like a scam and everyone is in on it.
I am surprised that companies are still using UPS after all the complaints and horrible reviews. What would it take? The ratings are horrible but, yet the representatives (when you can reach one) have the nerve to talk like someone has done something to them and companies are still using UPS… It's a joke! I believe UPS should be investigated -the entire company. There is no way that packages should always come up "missing". Put cameras in those trucks! Figure out why packages completely stop moving once they get to TENNESSE.. What's the deal? You don't find that strange? What is happening in Tennessee and why does it seem like it's ok. I know that UPS knows that more times than not companies are going to refund the customer's money, and someone gets off free with merchandise they didn't pay for. I am not believing that all these packages just disappear. What good does tracking the package do if you can't get answers when your packages comes up missing? Nobody knows anything, just a bunch of worthless apologies. If I had a choice, I would vote to remove UPS as a delivery option and take my chance with a man riding a donkey..

UPS Recieving my package

For the past week almost two weeks, UPS has had my package and is refusing to deliver it. I paid for delivery service not pick up service. The answer I keep getting is there are no drivers. So are you saying in a multi-billion company UPS has Zero drivers and even though I paid for shipping to my address? I have to pick up my package as suggested by your customer service agent. Due to lack of or in the representative words, there are no drivers to make delvieries. I need my package shipped immediately. Tacking number [protected]

UPS Charged me $10 for storage when it was/is free

I demand a refund of $10 back to my card per receipt 12109132363A002172 back to my card from UPS Store 2363

Having gotten notice on Friday afternoon that my package was in I looked up if there was a charge and how long UPS holds it. It said Ups holds it for free 7 days. I picked it up Monday and I was charged $10.
I want that $10 refunded to my card now, today!

Ups typically loses my house even though they have delivered there and I was going to have it sent to a friends house that is why it had "ww" on it but then told the shipper belt to use my billing address but do not send it there but let me pick it up at UPS.
You people would not know what goodwill is if it sat next to you.
As stated I looked to see if their were any charges before and after I picked it up and it said it was free for 7 days. $10 for Friday to the first time I could pick it up on Monday, what CROOKS! The girl said it was for protecting it, what BULL!

UPS Shipping of a package from Quebec Canada to Reno Nevada USA

Yes hello I am complaining about a package tracking number
# 1ZK403TC6825657820
That was sent by a UPS shipping store in Quebec Canada on 29 August it was scanned into the system on the 30th Canadas system And it hasn't been seen or heard from since!
I received two bogus emails from you from UPS, I'm the recipient of the package stating that it was shipped and another one stating that it would arrive on September 7 all of this was phony information and it confused me so on the 10th I believe I contacted UPS in America they couldn't tell me anything much
They finally after many misleading comments by your employees in America, that it hadn't even left Canada yet and last Tuesday is when I talked to them and they said a manager from the lost department would contact me,
nobody EVER CALLED me BACK not from Canada and not from the United States, I feel I am doing this investigation, your work for you !
I would like to know why I wasn't contacted, why you guys didn't catch this in almost 3 weeks, why I have to do your work for you, why I have to call you to track a package that you lost and why my aunt Jeannette who sent the package and I have not had 1 ounce of communication from you in almost 3 weeks!
This is very very bad business that your customer should have to get in touch with your Company over & over to find out where THE package is!
Until I called your Co. over and over there was not an investigation started or anything and if I hadn't called nothing would still be happening!
BAD BUSINESS!
Your Co. NOT contacting us and telling us what was going on is completely unacceptable!
Today after four phone calls taking about 45 minutes more of MT time on the phone with your company, they are now starting an eight day investigation so now I have to wait eight more days, I told your people in Canada that I want updates every single day of what Exactly what is going on!
instead of totally being ignored like my aunt Jeanette the sender and me the recipient have been by your company!
I don't think I will ever use UPS again!
Especially when every person I've talked to except for the last guy in Canada have been pretty much dismissive and like I should just handle it sorry! Sorry these things happen! and that's exactly how I feel I've been treated by your company and your employees in Canada and America especially!

UPS driver didn't even try ringing.

Whole day waiting for my package, and just got email that package couldn't be delivered. BS. I was home all day, so I know that's not possible. The driver didn't even ring my door bell to try to deliver the package or even the notice slip of being unable to reach me

Desired outcome: some kind of compensation or formal apology form regional manager.

UPS Access Point Delivery

Access Point Delivery is a scam that allows UPS to avoid delivering packages to the recipient's home. All the driver has to do is state that the recipient was not at home...which may or may not be true and does not matter unless a signature is required...and then it's up to the recipient to hunt down which of the 50 or so "Access Points" the package was delivered to. Furthermore, I have actual video proof that during the time the delivery attempt was supposedly made absolutely no UPS truck was seen on my street. Meanwhile I have been provided no direct information from UPS...no attempted delivery slip...no address of the Access Point...no help whatsoever. This is outrageous.

Desired outcome: Deliver my package as you were paid to do by the shipper. Discontinue your fraudulent Access Point Delivery system at once.

I filed a damage complaint for $95 and that claim was approved. A check for $95 was issued to the UPS store (#0466) and they were to arrange sending that settlement to me.
