It's unfortunate when the shipper uses them
I wished my last shipment had the option of USPS
I received my package today from ETC Supply for a new Ranco.
It cost me $45ish for the brokerage etc.

sames stories. by the sounds of it im lucky. in my complex you drive in at garage level so you have to get out and walk around to the front. so when i bought my leds $400 worth, i wasnt home at the time of delivery and the tracker showed delivered so i randomly checked out the fromt door and surprise it was sitting there.

I won't buy from any shipper who only uses UPS. I always try to do USPS (non-fish stuff). For livestock, I've had decent luck with purolator (except for one time when I ripped the customer service line a new one and got my package before the long weekend). UPS is horrible but the contractor that works for UPS here is even worse.

Every electronic component is shipped with smoke stored deep inside.... only a real genius can find a way to set it free.

loved it when they left my test kits at the front door without ringing at -30.

Often will get neighbours stuff at my door from UPS, never yet from another company.

won't start ranting about their brokerage fees.

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!

The last package ups "delivered" They said my address doesn't exist...even though they delivered to my house two days before. I informed them I needed it asap they told me they would hold it at the sorting station. When I got there they had no idea what I was doing there...just as my wife phoned to tell me they just delivered it.
