USUAL SORRY SERVICE! 1ZE310810302672425

Par for the course!!! Some stupid, lazy driver apparently just thru out my package into tall grass beside my driveway. About 1 foot from the package was an attempted delivery notice which was BLANK. It was apparent that the pkg had been there for some time due to dust and weeds on it. I only saw it in passing and backed up to pick up what I thought was someone's trash that had blown onto my land. According to the vendor, whom I called immediately, the pkg had been delivered the day before I found it!!! The vendor also stated that it was supposed to be "signed for"! Got news for them! ups doesn't give a flying rat's ass about people's stuff, or even their own rules of operation! I've battled this problem for years and have had absolutely no change. They don't care enough to correct their problem. They have had to pay for damaged, mis-delivered pkgs, un-delivered pkgs in the past, but they still don't care or fix the problem!!! I've ordered them off my property and the idiots they hire for drivers, managers can't even figure out what that means! Yes, I've had a chat with one so-called manager, who did bother to pick up the phone, and who didn't give a hoot. Do you know that no one can call their "local" office to complain. You have to call an 800 #. It's been this way for as long as I can remember. This is probably due to the SORRY service they provide and don't want to have to answer the multitudes of complaints! I've always tried to remember to instruct vendors NEVER to use ups, due to their SORRY service, but I've forgotten in the past, and sometimes vendors screw up. Those vendors that can't seem to correct their screw-ups in shipping don't get my business anymore and are made fully aware of the icompetence of ups and why my business goes elsewhere! This sorry company is just as sorry in SE Texas as it is in NE Texas. This is a statement made from vast experience in dealing with ups screw-ups in both areas! This latest fiasco started last Wed., 7/23, when the pkg was "delivered", and to date, Mon., 7/28, I've rec'd NO CONTACT from anyone re this repeated screw-up. Additionally, according to the vendor, another pkg had been shipped via the same SORRY ups and was scheduled for delivery the same day that I spoke with the vendor, which was Thurs., 7/24. NO attempted delivery, NO attempted notification, NO nothing from this sorry ups. re the 2d pkg. I'll bet my bottom dollar they sent the pkg back saying it was refused, which is a lie they've used before. By the way, since the vendor brought it up, the "required" signature probably was signed for BY THE STUPID DRIVER! They have this "driver release" rule. One of their rules, I've previously discovered and dealt with before, which they like to follow because it means less work for them!!!

I want a personal written apology from all involved; the stupid driver, including all the incompetent managers above him, local and regional, etc. (They must be incompetent, since they haven't fixed THEIR problem.) If by some chance, someone does accidently send something to me, then I want them to follow their procedures. Lord knows, I'll do everything in my power NEVER to use this sorry ups. I want a refund for all shipping costs they've cost me and missing merchandise!

Sherri,

Wow! Where to start?

You resort to name calling and have ordered UPS off your property yet
you can't understand why they left the package in high grass on your
property? Personally, I don't blame them.

Just a little something for you to think about, if you think the worst
and expect worst, you're going to get the worst.

If you expect good service, hey, guess what, you will get good
service.

I've never had trouble with UPS. Never.

I was getting ready to post this when UPS delivered a package to me.
They always deliver the package to my side door and as I stepped out
the door to pick up the package, the UPS driver asked if I needed
anything. It could be because I expect good service from UPS.

The stupid lazy driver
Left behind the release
He ain't no MacGyver
Got no one to sign, not even the geese

"Rules of operation" they are a farse
Screw-ups lost stuff
You don't give a rat's arse
Idiots, excuses, nothing but guff

You've ordered them off your property and you don't understand why
they left the package in the grass? Makes perfect sense to me.

First there was no signature required on the package. I'm sure the
vendor told you that just to get you to stop yelling at them and
calling them names. Second if you have a gated drive the drivers
aren't allowed to open the gate to deliver the package. It looks like
the drivers left the package at the gate. Also if you behave in
person anything like your letter I would throw your stuff out of my
truck too.

First - decaf can taste just as good as ceffeinated. OK, now that we
have that cleared up....

I had a problem with UPS. I ordered a computer from Dell, and since I
wasn't home when they delivered it, they left it with a neighbor.
Although I totally trust my neighbor, I thought it was a bad policy to
leave big ticket items with anyone other than the recipient, and not
only that, I was supposed to sign for it myself.

I called UPS and explained calmly and rationally what happened and not
only did they apologize, the next day the driver personally apologized
to me.

If you had a legitimate complaint, you should have contacted UPS and
acted like a civilized adult rather than an ignorant raving lunatic. I
am sure you would have had a much more satisfactory resolution to your
situation. I don't blame them for not wanting to stop at your place.
You sound like a time bomb.

My sides are aching from laughing. I am picturing some crazy lady with
a shotgun "Get the helllll off my property!" on a run down porch of an
old brown house, surrounded by tall grass and tumbleweeds. So the UPS
Guy drops the box in the tall grass, and runs back to the truck with
the crazy lady chasing after him. Dodging shotgun shells the whole
way.

Woo-hoo-hoo!!

Question: If you ordered them off your property, how did you expect
them to deliver packages? Hmmm.

I'm sure UPS will apologize for their lapse in service. How about you
apologizing for this appallingly rude letter, and to all the employees
you insulted?

By the way, that tracking number you provided in your title is for you
to see when your package was delivered. No need for it to sit there
gathering dust and weeds.

"package into tall grass beside my driveway." "dust and weeds on it."
"trash that had blown onto my land."

Sounds like heaven.

so why do you keep using UPS?

Maybe they actually did figure out what you meant and that's why they
throw your packages from the truck into the yard?

I'm just saying.

If this is the way you normally conduct yourself, I'd say YOU owe
several people at UPS a personal written apology!

With the way you disparaged UPS and their employees, I highly doubt
that you'll reap any results regarding your issue.

Where do you honestly expect this letter to end up? Because from the
way it is writen it is going to get trashed. No one is going to read
after the first sentence.

I use tracking online whenever I expect a package to be delivered.
That way I get it before it gets a chance to sit around. It is a
great system, but one I doubt you will be using in the future.

stupid

incompetant
sorry
screw-up
idiot
rat's ass
vendor
management
driver

If you start with this pool of words, the results are bound to be less
than stellar.

Sherri while getting rid of anger is a very good thing its not so good
to direct it to every employee at UPS. Just the driver is sufficient
if its found that he/she deliberately just shoved your package off the
truck hoping someone would see it eventually.
It would be very suspecious if they used the excuse that it happen to
"fall off the truck" right at the address it was to be delivered.

And at least your package got on your property. I take it you have not
read the other complaint in here recently regarding a package left on
someone's porch...

Thanks for the shortcut. There is no reason to read this letter,
because you are insulting the company's employees. This is not the
way to get a business to respond. If you want courtesy, you should
show it.

Just imagine what the drivers say, in private, about some of the
customers. I wonder which view is more accurate, the customer's or
the driver's?

By the way, I have my local UPS hub's telephone number. If you cared
enough to get involved in your package delivery, you would find out
yours. There is a way to not use UPS, and I hope you figure it out.

I hope your letter is deleted, because it deserves to be.
