UPS
reviews and complaints

I received two separate delivery's UPS

Multi packages dropped off at my back door piled up I had to push packages away just to open the door. Gratefully nothing broke.

Three hours or about that not sure how long exactly apart the from the first delivery the second delivery was but, our health care worker found most expensive package left up against the wheel of our car in the car port. Don't know when I would have found it if it wasn't for the kindness of the care giver... or could have taken/stolen but thankful that wasn't the case.

Delivery would have been much easier to drop off at front door. Or open the screen door and put in porch would have been safe many do that. There are better options than to be careless and make it hard for handicap people to access or know or see a package in a carport. Please take better care in delivery's..

Just letting you know no harm done and grateful for that.. Better instructions and care would be appreciated ...
Sincerely
Linda Dozier

For a year I have been attempting to get the local branch to understand our office hours are 8 to 12. That is based on the service we provide. After that I am out on call and the part time office staff is gone. The irony is that when I miss a delivery I am expected to pick it up during dedicated office hours. Who is the customer here? Who is providing a service to who? The local guys are very unresponsive and rude. I do understand the time of year, but as I have said this has been a year long complaint.

I ordered a larger package from Amazon, probably weighed close to 70lbs. There were 2 UPS men who delivered it. First off it was raining and considering the ground was wet and there were puddles they proceed to flip it end over end on the wet ground and through puddles, they flop it on the end of my porch where it could still get wet and it laid in a puddle that was on the porch. There is no reason why these 2 lazy men couldn't have picked it up and carried it to my porch and put it in a dry spot. I am a small person and I picked it up by myself and took it in the house. I'm glad I was home to get it or there is a good possibility it would have been ruined. Beyond furious.

This happened in Chicago on 11-20-19 & 11-21-19. My daughter had a package to be delivered to my house on Wednesday because it needed a signature. They tried delivering the package on Tuesday when everybody was working and couldn't get a signature. They left a sheet on my door saying they were sorry they missed me and would redeliver on the next ups delivery date which was Wednesday. The driver took it upon himself to deliver it to the access point and not my address. I waited all day for them to come so that I could sign and nobody came. I had to go to the access point to pick it up. What a waste of a day. I called ups about it and all they could say is it could be redelivered on Friday or Monday when everyone would be working and couldn't get a signature. UPS has lazy drivers. Won't use ups in the future.

We recently purchased a home in the 19000 block of Sunlake Blvd. in Lutz, FL. I am wondering if you monitor the speed of your drivers, because they travel well in excess of the posted speed limit through our neighborhood on a daily basis. There are numerous children in the are, making this very dangerous for them & other driver said on the road, not to mention the gas they are wasting & excess wear & tear on company property. If you would like specific times & truck numbers, we would be happy to start collecting such information. I witnessed 2 drivers today speed past our house (both heading south towards Dale Mabry Highway). The first was 5:00pm, the second at 5:31pm. We have also seen then them going north on Sunlake Blvd. speeding as well. Thank you for your time & attention in this matter. We will also be contacting the local office to notify them as well.

My order from eXtra ordered on the 1st of Nov and provided to UPS on the 3rd of Nov has still not arrived even though the date of delivery was set for the 9th of Nov. No updates are made on the site of the third party (UPS), the interface of the portal is very non-intuitive resulting in me being unable to put my complain easily, no local support number is available to talk to any representative. Worst of all, no update has been made on the status nor has any one thought to call or message or email me to update with the new date. This is one of the worst home delivery experiences I have had, all thanks to the absolutely uncaring attitude of UPS and also eXtra.
All in all I am extremely dissatisfied and also unable to find any support to know when I may get my order.

I was driving on route 704 in Lanham MD on Nov 15 2018 at 3:30pm and I was behind truck #666021 which does not have working brake lights. The trucks tail lights were illuminated and turn signals worked but the lights never got brighter or any other lights came on when the brakes were applied. It is very difficult to tell when the truck is slowing down. The truck stopped at multiple red lights so the brakes had to have been applied.

For the last two days at 2509 14th street NW, Watford City ND, The driver that has been switched to this route has not delivered the packages to personnel at the front desk. He has opened the entry way door where individuals can get out of muddy cloths and then enter the facility and dropped all the packages there instead of letting some one sign for the packages. We have individuals that stay with us at Target Lodging and order things that are important to them. We strive to make sure that their stay with us is a good one but when packages are left in the walk way where they can not get in the door that is unacceptable.

This morning on my way to work I was driving on Route 130, through East Windsor, NJ on my way into Cranbury, in the right lane, approaching a red light, so I was slowing down a little, when a UPS driver in one of the big brown trucks, decided to pull over in FRONT of me---NO blinker, not doing it slowly, but recklessly very sudden. I in turn had to swerve over to the right side of the road, off the road, to avoid having the entire side of the driver side of my SUV demolished!

I beeped the horn while he was doing so but kept on going into my lane in front of me. As I then drove back onto the road and merged back onto Route 130 in front of him, when I looked over he laughed and gave me his middle finger as a sign to say **ck YOU!

I did manage to get the license plate number which was XET P77. Nice way to represent your company! I hope something is mentioned and done to him. I would like some type of feedback about this incident please. I can be reached at the email below.

Thank you.

On 8/3/ 18 sent package out thru Rivers Edge and paid to have $500 insurance on items.

8/8 Packaged arrived at destination damaged and I immediately called UPS and Lauren stated that an investigator would be out to check claim.

8/13 Rivers Edge (Marcus) calling UPS to check on claim. Told check was being sent out.

8/21 UPS (Jamal) stated that the claim refund goes to Rivers Edge and that they would notify me when it arrived.

8/24 Rivers Edge (Marcus) UPS stated they were processing the paperwork.

10/23 Rivers Edge (Angie) UPS wants paperwork sent. Done on 9/25

10/25 Per Angie at Rivers Edge still no reply from UPS

10/30 Talked to Rivers Edge (Angie) UPS states that the claim is closed just waiting on paperwork again. I stood right there and watched her send the claim by fax to UPS again.

11/1 2 Talked to Marcus at Rivers Edge and he talked to Package Express and they stated they were going to call UPS and see what the hold up is.

THIS CLAIM IS GOING TO 3 MONTHS TO GET PROCESSED.
I shipped this package in good faith and all I am getting is the run around.
When I call UPS to find out anything I am told I need to talk to Rivers Edge as they are the shipper.

WELL, Rivers Edge did not pay the fee for shipment, I did and I would like my refund.

I have made it a habit of not letting anyone I know ship with UPS and anything that I order anymore is shipped by FED EX. UPS Customer Service is AWFUL

And this next category is a joke. No listing for damaged goods.

10/30 Called UPS (Mickel) [protected] stated that Rivers Edge had never sent back claim paperwork that was sent out on Aug. 10.

10/30 Stopped in and talked to Angie at Rivers Edge and she said she had also talked to Mikel and he wanted the appraisal sent. This make atleast 3 different times this has been sent.

On 11/5/18 UPS driver Alfred delivered to 2519 Pecos Hwy Carlsbad NM 88220, this is the North Star RV Park. My husband had ordered wheels and tires for my new truck being delivered via your company requiring signature. I understood that this was a heavy delivery. When the manager called and advised UPS was here, I immediately drove up to the UPS truck to make loading easier. Alfred started out being rude and aggressively threw the tires out on the ground making it even more difficult to reload into the back of my truck. He advised someone stupid shipped them aired up increasing the weight by thirty pounds. I advised that "someone stupid" ordered them that way because it was the wheel, tire, TPMS, hardware, and balance all together. I did not however point out that the "air" didn't weigh anything. He shoved the tablet towards me to sign as I was trying to peel back a corner of the packaging to verify that they were the ones we ordered. I tried to explain to him that I needed to verify this first. He shoved the tablet in my face demanding a signature. I again tried to explain that CAR ID requires verification prior to signing. I explained that two days prior the same company sent my steps and they were incomplete and damaged and had to be refused. I explained that this company requires product verification prior to signing or they won't accept returns. They even send a contract at purchase that we had to sign and return agreeing to this before they would ship. Alfred got ruder and more aggressive and advised that I was not allowed to do this that I had to sign. At this point I am tired and angry, I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and was having a hard time standing up the 100 lb tire and removing the shrink wrap to peek in. He had a temper tantrum and loudly said he would not allow me to go any further without signing and that was company policy and that I needed to inform CAR ID of this. I couldn't see the screen due to the sun and he snatched the tablet back and pulled up a screen with a line to sign on so I signed. I thought that he was putting the tablet on the truck and was going to help me pick up the tires and put them in my truck. Instead he literally peeled out in the UPS truck and sped away leaving one 100 lb tire leaning against my shins, one 100 lb tire about 10 feet away laying flat on the ground in the middle of the parking lot that 18 wheelers speed around in, the other two 100 lb each tires were left laying flat on the ground about 20 feet away by the office. I managed to get all four upright and rolled to the back of my truck but I could not lift them up. I had to call my husband who was at work 30 miles away to come help me, which left me sitting on said tires in the middle of a busy parking lot for close to an hour waiting. Later that night the RV Park manager called and asked me if I had taken any other packages from UPS. I advised no that she watched me with the tires in the parking lot for an hour (she has a broken leg and couldn't help me) ... she advised that the ups man entered it into the system that I had signed for another package and that that lady wanted her delivery. It may be your policy to not allow verification and to not allow customer assistance; if it is, then you need to advise your customers who pay you to ship their products that you will not allow verification prior to signing. I know it should not be your policy to enter fraudulent information into your system stating that packages were left with someone when they were not... If it is also your policy to be rude, aggressive, lie, and refuse assistance with the packages you just delivered then eventually karma will catch up with you as I know it will eventually find Alfred.

One of your drivers almost hit me TWICE from behind because he was driving like a maniac. I had my two small children in my car with me!

One is the times, I put my blinker on to get ready to get in the left lane to turn and he sped up to purposely try to block me from getting over. I honked at him until he stopped. I couldn't move anywhere until the car in front of me moved because of your driver.

This drives driving is completely inappropriate and scary.

The number on the front of the truck was 165073. And this was in the city of Rosemead, California. Around 2pm.

Weeks ago I expressed irritation to a UPS driver regarding his loud, persistent beeping of his horn in our neighbor's driveway. The driver was quite rude, eventually claiming it was "company policy".

Today, 11/7/18, at 11:10 a.m., the UPS driver drove up our road--Orchard Road, Lower Milford Township, Lehigh County, PA--blowing his horn for approximately 300 yards as he approached and drove past our house--8595 Orchard Road., Coopersburg, PA 18036.

This is totally unacceptable behavior. This driver is purposely antagonizing and harassing us and is annoying the neighborhood in general. This driver needs to be reprimanded.

Today (November 5th, 2018), an extremely rude driver blocked the whole driveway behind our place of business. My boss was arriving to work and parks in the handicap stall we have behind our place of business. He waited for a second, then the driver got out of the truck and my boss asked what the driver was doing. He didn't say anything, just pointed to the business a couple doors down, then started lowering the trailer to unload. This required my boss to park further down and when he told me what happened, I went outside to ask the driver how long he would be there and he stated, "I'm just trying to do my job." I told him that he is actually blocking the fire lane, taking up both lanes in the road so no traffic can get through, and he is blocking a handicap stall. He let me know that he has to unload the load and that is how long it is going to take. He didn't work to resolve the issue, he simply just didn't care. In order for this to be resolved, drivers need to be aware of the road they are on and they should know they can't be blocking through traffic, fire lanes, and handicap stalls.

Had 6 pallets was supposed to be delivered on 10/31/18 showed online pallets are in Richmond, Va I thought well maybe they didn't get scanned out because I'm only 3 hours away. I call terminal they tell me oh we didn't have enough freight for a full truck load so will go the next night I was like ok a Friday delivery will be fine. Checked Friday morning still in Richmond I call back was told they were on a trailer headed my way. 3 hours later nothing I call back this time told me on Wednesday night someone pulled the trailer my stuff was in away from dock and they can't find the trailer. It was in the yard the whole time. Friday evening get told oh your 3 hours away we don't have a driver ot will be Monday. I paid for hot delivery and nothing. Told them i want my money back. Also I called the terminal 2 times to to talk to terminal manager she wouldn't talk to me keep saying someone would call me. Never use ups freight again

Really I just typed it, over on my Twitter account @TheRealEdwilliams but ill try to summarize.

23 year employee. Had PTSD my entire life due to childhood sexual trauma, years in foster care and boys homes, father raped me for years as an infant, entire childhood is more of same..

I entered the Army, less than stellar health record but honorable and bunch of silly medals for a couple combat tours..

I start at ups, and over the years I think I had 12 disability cases approved, due to PTSD manifestations in various forms. Again all approved.. pay and benefits never turned off, ever.

Then last year, on April 23rd 2017, after about 6 months of several "extreme life events" knocked my brain For a loop, UPS finished me off my moving me to a graveyard shift and or take a pay reduction. This last thing my brain was not primed for.

On the day I was supposed to report to my new low stress job of On Road Feeder Dispatch in Portland Or, my brain went poof.. ended up curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth, suicidal.. I was admitted to the VA Mental Health ward, locked in suicide
Ward for 7 days...

I dont remember much about the next 6 months.. seems like a horrible nightmare. I do barely remember coming home to find Aetna and ups waiting on me to file the disability paperwork. I tried, with Aetna help, but Aetna was driving my brain at that point, on this anyways, and I remember them guiding me theu and to, to write very short "I appeal" and submitting my claim. Then they denied It stating THEY DONT SUPPORT PTSD when Caused by acts of war in service to the government. Um but my PTSD was not from war, it was from my childhood. Denied 2nd time, no proof.

So this is where I'm at. 5 appeal denials later, oh and the letter from UPS says I can sue them if I disagree... how, you took my money and my benefits.

As I was leaving my house today (10/31/2018) a truck came (License plate EGX685) barreling down our 25 mph street. Now, most people speed through our neighborhood, however, this was faster than most, probably close to 40+. She (I believe a she only got a glimpse) was coming around a blind curve before my house ( 3916 Carriage Gate Drive). I had stopped my driveway to wait for a car coming in the other direction, if they hadn't been coming I would have pulled in front of her because you can't see that far from my driveway, hence the 25 mph speed limit on our street. While we have very long driveways and most kids do not play in the street here, there are many walkers including kids going to and from school. Not a good place to be going that fast in such a large truck.

My daughter had a package delivered today and I'm writing you only because the package was for my granddaughter's birthday, the package g.d e was literally thrown up on the porch by a young girl driver who actually skipped awat, my daughter has a ring video but all it shows is the girl skipping away, luckily there wasn't anything breakable in the package but my daughter has ups deliver packages several times a week, the town this happened in is forney, TX around 2:30 or so. Just wanted to let ups know what the young drivers do with the packages.

By far the worst customer service ever! The automated system will not let you through unless you select one of their limited options. It will hang up on you. Then when you do get through, the agents robotically follow a script and refuse to answer questions. If you ask questions they get snarky and order you to answer their scripted questions or they will not help you. If you explain that you don't understand something and just need clarification, they will cold transfer you to a random department. The next department will assume you called them directly even though their system makes that impossible, and will ask you scripted questions as well! If you ask to speak to a manager, they will ask you a few questions to determine which department to transfer you to, again with limited options, and refuse to stay on the phone with you so you can talk to a human. The reps seem to have great difficulty understanding anything you say if it's not a direct 1 or 2 word response to a script question. They are also difficult to understand and you have to ask them to repeat what they are saying, which makes them audibly annoyed and exasperated. It's a mess. Forget the website too because the information is also limited, and the chat window also follows a script! If the chat doesn't get you to select one of it's limited options, it tells you to call customer service!
