Default ups chaps my ....

so irked right now. almost didn't recieve my ups shipment today. its bad enough they ring and run. but to drop off a package on the wrong street mckay instead of francis.. they even dropped it off at the wrong house number example: 10 vrs 3 like really i know you drive around all day dropping off packages and are tired at the end of the day. but come on teh adress is clearly marked on the label.. you have to scannsaid address. i know my piddly 200 product is peanuts to you cause its not yours but what if it was a 4,000 dollar skimmer (i wish but this is a rant so i can dream).

ive always disliked ups. but i have told off a supervisor here incity and at head office. as well as contacted my vendor i purchased from to demand a shipping refund as it was not thier fault but should know the issue.

so thats my rant fro the year.. be warned ups may ship your products to anyone other than you stay on top of your tracking.

UPS

actually UPS isn's supposed to leave a parcel without a signed consent.

They left a $2500 camera lense outside my house, and I filed a complaint, they actually were going to refund all shipping costs.

I would NEVER use UPS to ship livestock, that just not reliable enough, purolator is bad too.

FedEx is the best of the worst

actually i know a driver for ups and he said thier new policy is ring and run to save time . so unless you request signature they wont do it just leave package and run they dont care about service just your money

I feel your pain.

I ordered some really nice corals from Fragit Dan in Nanaimo the week before Easter.

UPS loses the package on Wednesday before good friday and finds it later that nite sitting in a truck in Richmond. They say it's too late to retrieve and the truck wont be picked up til next Monday, when they will deliver my package?!?!?!

Of course it gets there and everything is dead, no brainer.
Dan is good enough to take responsibility even though it was clearly not his fault, and he sends out another package full of more nice corals.

And they lose it again!!!!

This time I get it a day late and 70% is toast this time.

Aaaaauugh!!!

And in case you are wondering they did not cover any of it because the package was eventually delivered.

UPS sucks big time!!! From now only I only ship FedEx or by air.

They are due at my house today, a repaired Apex unit. Let's see how that goes.....

I do have a good UPS guy though, that likely makes a big difference.

I had a package from Costco that was to be delivered to my house. Got home nothing was there but an email from Costco said the package was delivered. Called UPS, they siad they left it with a "neighbor", the address was 15 blocks away. Stopped by, they never received anything but gave me a different address because UPS always screws up their address and delivers it to this one. No luck at the next house either. Called UPS back and they talked to the driver, he actually had no idea were he delivered it to and just gave the other address because he made a delivery there and may have accidently left it there. My package was 95 lbs and 8' long, it doesn't easily get dropped with another order. Costco sent me another and UPS left it on my driveway, amazed it was still there as my street has about 15 active house builds going on with lots of random contractors and traffic. My other experiences with UPS aren't much better, this why I would never actually pay for UPS to ship me anything, they are horrible!
