UPS driver backing into and damaging my for iron settee

I had a package delivered to my house yesterday Feb.21, 2017. Kimberly Rademacher-Heuer 24229 Marge Court Hermosa South Dakota. Tracking number. 1Z 306 AY1 [protected]. The problem I have is she the driver for what ever reason backed into my rot iron settee damaging it when I approached the truck she was on her blue tooth device talking . I pointed at the pack of the truck trying to get her attention she just waved me off and drove off. She ignored the fact she damaged property and drove off. I have 12 acres. I've had 18 wheelers drive a circle up here. I do not understand why she drove off... I have pictures of the damage. It is minor. It is the principle at this point. As you can see from the photos I attached she had no reason to back into my settee. This is not the first time we have had issues with her since Christmas time. This is the first time we have complained. We have had a lot of great drivers out here. Please move her to a different route before she hurts someone's pet or child.

UPS misrepresentation and then telling me "get lost"

Tracking Number: 1zAW69314206735094

I shipped a keyboard through UPS, so bought a packaging box from UPS store, packed it in bubble wrap and packed it securely for delivery to my grand daughter.The store charged me for special handling(put "Fragile" sticker on it) because of the size and its contents. The agent asked me if I wanted to insure the shipment and asked for its value. I told her the value of $1500 and she duly added an extra charge for that.
Lo and behold the package was damaged on the way, so when my grand daughter opened it, there were loose screws in the box, couple of keys were broken and when plugged in, it did not work. I complained to UPS and demanded the insurance compensation. UPS had a third party firm get in touch with me. The company could not be bothered to come and inspect. Instead they asked me to send pictures of the damaged item, which I did.
After receiving them, they denied the claim. When I contacted UPS to question their denial, the rep told me that the item was not packed according to their specs which can be found UPS website, and the fact that we charge you for special handling and ask you to declare the value( for which there is a separate charge) is only for informational purpose. I told them that the receiving agent had told me that this is for insurance in case of damage, the rep told me that the agent is not a UPS employee. How am I to know that when she was working in a UPS Store. When I questioned about how they could determine that it was not packed properly (also that too only from pictures), the guy said that I should have consulted their website about packaging instructions. To that I replied, the receiving agent did not question who packed it, how was it packed, did I check their website to meet packing requirements? All these are important because as a lay person, how am i to know that UPS is going to use these points to deny any claim, if and when it arises.
I was told that if I wanted to challenge the denial I should get the UPS store I shipped from, to file a claim.
The store filed the claim which was again denied.

The fact that UPS mishandles and throws around packages including the ones marked "Fragile" was caught on camera and broadcast on ABC World News in its prime time evening news on December 18, 2016.This gives a real cause for concern on how UPS packages are handled and in my case, there is every reason to believe that the package did not get the care and proper handling it deserved especially when you see screws lying around loose within the packaging.

UPS instead of reimbursing me for the damaged keyboard which was a present for my grand daughter on her birthday, told me to fight this issue with the store as the store is a separate entity. She is anxiously waiting for it and I have promised her that I will be getting her one soon.

UPS very bad service!!

I sent a package via UPS service and paid all the necessary fees, but later I received a notification stating that my package will be returned to me.
I contacted UPS and asked what was going and they said something about overweight, I didn't understand a lot. Their representative spoke very fast and when I asked him to repeat what he said he refused. The whole situation was strange because, as I already said, I paid all the fees and taxes!
UPS wasn't able to give me a reasonable explanation. I'm extremely disappointed with their service and will not use them again! The most customer unfriendly organisation I have ever deal with!

UPS unethical behaviour, incorrect invoicing

Invoice [protected] ups 7th june 2016 ups feltham tw13 7dy uk
Bex express in south africa sub contracted to ups to deliver a parcel containg foc spare parts to uk.
Between bex and ups somehow documentation for a 40ft container was submitted for import acceptance.
Independantly our freight company handled the import of the container including customs submission, copied us with the correct paperwork and invoice to which we paid the relevant vat.
Despite countless phone calls and emails ups uk are still trying to claim from us the vat for this container against a parcel with nil commercial value.
Ups eventually instructed solicitors who issued court action against an incorrectly named company. Being an honest company we advised them of their mistake and again requested the relevant paperwork for the import.
Ups solicitors then withdrew the initial claim and apparently issued a second claim. We have never received any paperwork.
This they escalated to a high court enforcement, which we discovered when we received an alert from d&b om our credit rating!
Not sure if this has been caused by negligence or gross inefficiencies within ups but it appears someone wants to bully our company into paying what appears to be a fraudulent hmrc claim.
The amount involved is for us a nuisance value which due to high court involvement we will probably have to pay.
Before going to the media with this information we wanted to get a response from ups head office.

UPS failed delivery of medication

On 2/2/17 Pharmacy advised overnight delivery of medication. I waited ALL day 2/3/17 for UPS. At aprox 1PM I found "Sorry we missed you" infonotice #[protected] on front door. While I WAS at home sitting 15ft from said door (new house; bell works); driver FAILED to knock and or ring bell. No I was not in restroom; but sitting on couch ALL DAY WAITING! Called customer service and girl could care less. Call taker suggested I "Meet driver somewhere along her route". I no longer drive and it is the responsibility of UPS to fulfill their contract and effect this delivery. Had the driver used due diligence and MINIMAL effort (doing nothing more than expected with a knock and or a ring) we would not be having this conversation today. Now, thanks to United Parcel Service, I must go without my needed medication until 2/6/17 when we begin this dance all over again. Resolution? There is none, according to UPS; but to wait until Monday. UPS gets a fail on this one!

Do you really think the driver snuck up on your porch, took the time to fill out the info notice, and then hurried back to the truck laughing about how they screwed you out of your meds for the weekend? Get real! The last thing they EVER want to do is return to a delivery twice. They want those packages delivered the 1st time, every time. WHY WOULD THEY EVEN LEAVE A NOTICE FOR YOU IF THERE WAS ANY NEFARIOUS INTENTION ON THEIR PART? Plain and simple - YOU missed them. YOU didn't hear their knock/ring. YOU screwed up NOT THE DRIVER.

UPS 2110 artesia blvd, redondo beach, ca 90278

On 1/23/2017, I received a delivery notice from UPS on my door stating that my package will be delivered to the nearest pick up point. I've gone to the store on 2020 Artesia in the past to pick up packages so even though another store's location address was scratched off by pen I knew where to go. I walked into the store and showed an employee on 1/28/17 at approximately 12:45pm and showed the slip and a female employee told me after one look that it wasn't there at the store. I asked if she could check for me and she told me that she knew it wasn't there because the slip didn't have any name written on it and location was scratched off. She told me to call the number on the slip to find out where it was. I walked home and called UPS number. The system stated that the package was delivered to the store I just went. I walked back to the store and told the same employee that the package was here. Only if she checked it for me, I wouldn't have had to walk back home and come twice. She may have remaine calm, but she gave me an attitude and told me to wait. Another female employee came up to me and asked me for a tracking number. I gave her pick up slip and she told me that that's not a tracking number. I told her it was all I got from the delivery person who left it at the door. She asked me for my last name and told me I had to have an ID. I don't always carry purses when I walk around he neighborhood, but keep my ID and credit card under my long sleeve shirt. It bothers me that because I was in sweatshirt casual that they automatically assume I don't carry around ID and been looked at like a second rate citizen. She brought the binder for the items left at the store. She told me that she KNEW that it wasn't there because she didn't recognize the name. I pointed out to the card with my first name written on it and she told me that, but you told me your last name was... I told her that the name on the card was my first name. I told her that UPS made mistakes by delivery guy not writing all info on delivery slip and the store assuming they don't have my package first without checking and next mistaking my first and last name. She just said OK. Without any apologies. She turned around without saying anything and practically threw the package at me and told me to sign the paper. Then she said thank you without looking at me while turning around and walked away.

I've been in customer service for over twenty years. I've been to multiple customer service workshops and seminers my employees sent me to. Is UPS a service business? Did you know that majority of language that does the talking to deliver messages are facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice as well as the pitch of delivery? Honestly, I have never written letter of complaints to any companies in the past regardless of dissatisfactory services. This is the first time. While your employees never said anything inappropriate, the gestures, facial expression and tone of voice said plenty. What message does one send when they say Thank you without eye contact while walking away? It definitely was not "thank you."

UPS unethical behaviour

I worked security at the ups Oakland hub facility in Oakland ca I've been recently removed from my job because of an ups employee now working at the facility I've seen drug transactions, Employees stealing people property out of their packages supervisors and management knowing about it and not doing anything about it. Working their as security you have to tolerate the employees verbal abuse, and sexual comments because if you say something back loss prevention and UPS would want you to be removed from their site but when you being issues you have to their attention their respond is YOU HAVE TO HAVE A THICK SKIN AND IGNORE IT and this is at every UPS site with security. They don't punish their employees they let them get away with anything and i don't feel that's fair that an UPS employee can feel like its OK to harass security and don't get punish about it but we do when we speak up for ourselves

I am going through issues with the Oakland hub myself and your letter explains a lot of it. A "delivered" package to me that was never delivered. I get immediate text updates and know when something is here, and I happened to be home at that time. Home security footage also backed me up that no delivery was attempted. Oakland hub did the "investigation" and claim to have talked to me and that I confirmed delivery, however they screwed up and gave a phone number in Texas that they supposedly talked to me at ( I am in bay area with a 510 area code not a texas area code). You hate to think that a corporation as big as UPS is allowing and not overseeing this and that things you have described aren't going on but from the experiences i have had the past two weeks, I can see that you definitely are on to something and there is quite a bit going on at that location. So after being a lifelong UPS customer, I will never use them again.

UPS parcel not delivered but tracking number saying the parcel has been delivered

I bought an item (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121559927176?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) from the UK on the 13th of December 2016 (tracking number 1ZA768Y80498086103), to be delivered to Livingstone-Zambia. The tracking information tells me that the parcel was delivered to Mulenga Mumba when in the actual fact it was not delivered. I am left wondering to whom the parcel was delivered.

As it stands, I do not even know the outlet which received the parcel in Livingstone. This has made it even harder to locate where it is. I have tried Zampost and they have said they are not partners to UPS and hence did not receive it. I would like to establish which office in livingstone-Zambia delivers parcels on behalf of UPS so that I can establish where they delivered the parcel. I also need an explanation as to why the tracking information should show that the parcel was delivered when not. I also want to find out who signed for the parcel upon collecting it if it was indeed collected. If all this cannot be done, then I will require a full refund of the purchase plus shipping cost.

Thank you

UPS customer representative behavior

I did not get my package today.( 1/17/17)
It was supposed to delivered to near UPS location I chose on your website.
However,
it was delayed, not delivered and action required.
So, I called the customer service.
Unbelievably,
She just hung up on me less than a 30 second after I coneccted.
I could not understand what she said. ( not clear).
How could she just hang upmthe phone purposely.
(about 8:40 PM 1/17/17)
I've never seen this kind of incident in my whole lifetime. (40 ys)
I am extremely disappointed about UPS customer care.
This was the only way I could complaint.
In addition,
I talked to a few representatives,
they sounded like don't want to talk to me
and not speaking clearly.
Honestly, They all sounded lazy and not willing to help.
That's all about what I want to complaint about.

UPS delivery and cust. support

Ups driver came to my trailer park, stopped 3 trailers down from me, asked the lady where we were, she pointed out our trailer, driver got back into truck and drove off without an attempt to deliver.
Called cust. Support answered by a lady who apparently was reading a set of answers because she was not listing to what i was saying kept repeating herself with every question. Said driver could not deliver because could not find our trailer. That was her answer over and over. Even after i told her that our trailer was showed to him and our door was wide open.

UPS billing

I've received an invoice for customs fees/taxes for some calendars sent from Germany. I'm not complaining about the cost, but the method of dealing with it. The invoice is 38 days ago and the package is being held pending payment. I searched UPS's web site thoroughly trying to find some way of quickly paying the invoice, but can find no way. My bank does not have UPS listed as a registered payee, so I'm left with the only option of mailing a cheque across the country, waiting for them to process the cheque, and then advise the local distribution centre to deliver the package.

One would think in this day and age, a company the size of UPS would make things a little easier for both their customers and themselves.

UPS unreliable delivery

I am staying in an apartment in a community. The community has multiple buildings and each building has multiple apartments.
The buildings have a locked door and only the residents in that building will have the door key.

Everytime I have a delivery through UPS, the delivery guy will leave the parcel near the building door instead of the leasing office.

And all things get stolen.

I had asked the delivery guy the reason for leaving at the front door. He replied that it is because the receptionist refuses to sign the package.

This is a lie.

UPS unconscionable credit card charges

I recently sent a box of family photos via ups to my daughter at a po box in ok at a cost of $15 and change. A few days later i received an email from ups stating the box could not be delivered to a po box and had been rerouted. The next day i received a phone message from a women in the same ok town where my daughter lives saying she received the box, had no idea who my daughter is, and decided to call me (My number was on the label) after she'd opened the box and realized it was full of family photos. After several more calls i was able to coordinate a package pick up between my daughter and the woman who received her box. A few days later ups inexplicably charged my credit card $15.25. When i called them they explained i was charged $13 for forwarding my package (To a complete stranger) and another $2.25 because i hadn't originally paid for delivery to a residence address. The representative went on to explain that ups "is not the post office" and doesn't deliver to po boxes. However, they do allow you to purchase shipping labels addressed to po boxes online, they accept packages addressed to po boxes, and they even send said packages across the country. Ups should refund all of the charges related to my shipment, including the original shipping fees since they never actually delivered the box to its intended recipient.

UPS service

Monday 12/19/16 An incident occurred with driver Conrad who delivers to St Croix Plaza, 4230 S MacDill Ave. Suite E. The driver and an assistant came to the second floor, he walked into the conference room. I was shocked and as him what he was doing. The man was enraged and threatening. As I took the scanner to sign I tried to move him out of the conference room and the Conrad stood his ground. He took the scanner out of my hands, I moved around him out into the hall where he followed the whole time speaking about making sure he would get my signature for the 2 large boxes and a padded envelope. He stopped mid-way on the stair case and address the Attorney who walked out of the conference room, aggressively rambling on and on about me calling UPS to look for a previous package that he left with another Suite here in the plaza. He identified the location on the UPS ticket as; "fernandez h", I had to call UPS to find the package. UPS called me back to tell me Conrad left the box at Suite H with the secretary who's last name is Fernandez, who's first name is Krista. I did not report this, I just called to find the package. Conrad was mad because he got in trouble with his supervisor for not properly identifying the location on the ticket. This man intended to create a scene and make trouble for me.

When I first called I spoke with supervisor Maney, to report the incident, the supervisor told me his manager would call me. I did not hear from the manager. The supervisor called back surprised I didn't get a call. My second call to the supervisor today, 12/21/16, he said he would push this up to the manager and then he called me back and told me the manager would not contact me and then Supervisor Maney said; "There is more to this than you think. When I asked him to elaborate on his comment and he refused. I believe the supervisor knows this delivery man is a threat and not reporting it to his manager because he said if anything happens for me to call him and I said I will call 911 and have him removed from the building and the supervisor said good then call 911.

This whole incident was a nightmare, the Attorney was embarrassed in front of his prominent clients, I was embarrassed and very upset. He put me in a very difficult position to which I had not control, he was threatening and wouldn't leave the building . Your driver, Conrad was angry because I was doing my job. He made a spectacle of himself for all to hear to punish me.

I do not want this driver in this building, he is a threat and fear his anger and I feel UPS is putting me a risk. His behavior was appalling.

UPS company refused to deliver package to my address

I received an email that my package (TrackingNumber:1Z8R75480397789533) would be delivered on 12/9/16 so I took the day off from work and waited for the delivery. Imagine my surprise when an email pops up at 2:12 p.m. saying that an attempt had been made to deliver my package. First of all I was at home the entire time. Second there was no notice left anywhere around my location. I called and spoke with Travis who assured me the package would be delivered on Monday 12/12/16 so I took another day off from work. I called and spoke with Tasha approximately 8:30 a.m. Monday morning to be assured that the package would be delivered. She said she contacted the center and it was out for delivery and should arrive between 1:30 - 4:30 pm. I spoke with Katie at approximately 4:45 pm who spoke with the center and stated the driver was behind but it would be delivered. I spoke with Daniel at 7:15 p.m. who informed me that my package would not be delivered because my address was a security risk. I've lived at this address for over two years and somehow every other package has managed to get delivered. So now I've lost two days at work and my package has to be returned because I can't take any more time off from work and you don't deliver on weekends.. What's odd to me is that I gave at least four people my phone number and asked if there was a problem with the delivery to be contacted. No one contacted me at any time. I'm sure someone should be able to check the notes on regarding this delivery and see how hard I tried to make sure I wasn't wasting my time waiting for a package that was never coming. I suspect the fact that the package weighed over 80 pounds the driver deliberately chose not to deliver my package because it involved three flights of stairs. The incompetence of this company in this instance is unacceptable. Everyone was apologetic but no one had a solution how is that possible? Does UPS have a weight limit of packages it will deliver? If I live in a high crime area when can I expect packages to be delivered? Is it random or is there a scheduled time deliveries are made? It's not always going to be convenient for me to pick up items from a UPS location that's why delivery is essential. But I guess that doesn't matter. I doubt this email will result in any action being taken based on the service I received regarding this delivery but it was worth a shot! As far as the desirable resolutions I would like to be able to receive packages at my address when they are scheduled to arrive. I would like to be compensated for the time I had to take off from work but I'm sure that's not going to happen. I would like to have the item I had returned purchased and delivered to me at your UPS's expense but that's probably not going to happen either. At the end of the day I just want to receive the service that I'm paying for when I order items. I'm paying shipping and handling charges and all I'm getting is handled and badly at that.

UPS delivery services

Good luck getting ANY packages delivered via UPS. And sometimes they'll even lie and claim delivery when in fact nothing was delivered. I have found the most useful tool when dealing with the unscrupulous practices of UPS is to file a complaint with the FCC...I can't tell you how many times I have filed complaints about UPS with them (lots) and then within a few days get a phone call from a higher up AT UPS. FCC scares the company (as it does for most companies who want to maintain their business in the US)...so my recommendation is complain to the higher government agencies...skip places like the bbbor other consumer rating companies...basically go for their jugular!

UPS delivers more parcels than any other company in the world. If a driver gets ONE complaint per month, that'd be a lot. Meaning it's very uncommon that the mistake is on their part. 99% of the complaints received can be traced back to the original shipper or final receiver - bad or incomplete addresses, customers who aren't home to sign or receive the parcel etc. People like you are exactly what's wrong with this country. Too quick to blame others and too slow to except ANY personal responsibility.
