Does UPS deliver anymore?

Meowingkitty — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 18:58:11 GMT

I can't remember the last time UPS delivered something to my house. It seems to start out that way but ends up with USPS delivering my packages. I really don't mind because the post office gets here much earlier than UPS. I used to pay for UPS Choice so I could reschedule deliveries if I wasn't going to be home or arrange to pick them up at a location down the street but stopped because nothing seems to be delivered by them anymore.

I got a delivery from UPS last week and one this week and I frequently see their trucks out on the road and in my neighborhood so am sure they are still delivering. A friend of mine owns a local cheesehouse and they use them almost exclusively during the holiday season to pick up and deliver their gift boxes and other products.

I have been getting some deliveries via Lasership & none too happy with their service. At my work, there is constant "partnership" between shipping vendors making errors & delivery issues very hard to track & verify. There was a prior thread on this forum speaking to Lasership. They all need to be consistent in our ability as consumers to be able to track & receive our packages in the manner in which we pay for & expect.

I get deliveries via UPS all the time, the Q and Amazon included.

I've significantly cut down my ordering, esp., the networks and ZULILY because of LASERSHIP. I'm disabled and my husband won't help me out to go shopping in real stores.

But if I have to end up completely stopping ordering from the networks, I will.....because of LASERSHIP

I have had awful experiences from them. They seem to come in unmarked cars, at odd hours and no uniform or ID. We had ordered a headboard from Wayfair, one of my fav home stores. LASERSHIP delivered it in the middle of the night and not under the covered portion of my porch. It was a soaked mess in the morning.

Thankfully Wayfair was amazing and made up for the terrible delivery. A great company. As an aside, every time I have called a company for a LASERSHIP issue, the reps always say they have had many man complaints about them!

My UPS man just delivered a package to me about an hour ago. I live in a rural area now so my UPS driver makes a delivery to my home usually 2-3 times a week.

I get UPS deliveries regular. We have a great UPS driver for my neighborhood. What I hate is whne UPS hands off the package to USPS. Most recently, such a delivery was supposed to be delivered to me this past Wednesday. It finally reached the post office and will be delivered tomorrow, Saturday.

Just an FYI - Staples handles shipments for both UPS and the Postal Service. If you're mailing a package, they can tell you which way is less expensive.

Absolutely. The vast majority of the things I order are delivered by UPS. I have alerts set up for UPS and USPS and UPS delivers to my door while USPS delivers to the office at my apartment complex. Most of my packages are dropped at my door by UPS.

Amazon is almost always USPS no matter what size, but QVC and HSN usually have larger/heavier, things shipped UPS. A ring, bracelet, mascara, or bottle of vitamins is delivered USPS. Shoes, larger/heavier beauty products, Lock & Lock,, etc are delivered to my door by UPS. Clothes show up both ways and I never know until I get tracking info.

UPS is at my house every other day, it seems. So, yes, They still deliver, In fact, all of my QVC packages have come by UPS since they started the $3 shipping. Now that I work from home 3 days a week, I love it. I just started buying from Evine and I was surprised that they use Usps. Surprised but happy. The Usps guy just delivered the sheets I bought. They do deliver as fast as UPS.

They are here or at my next door neighbor's house just about every day. They were just here delivering a bottle of nail polish from Amazon. I don't know why that didn't come through the post office!

UPS often hands off packages to USPS when the packages are going to rural areas. They see it as more economical that running a truck out to an area that they don't have many scheduled deliveries for, but the Post Office will be visiting daily.

This happens to me a lot. And it adds another two days on to my deliver time, which doesn't excite me.

What really gets me is when I see by the tracking that UPS has handed off some of my packages to the Post Office on a particular day, but still the brown truck comes to my door with something anyway.

Sometimes the right hand just doesn't know what the left is doing.

Fed Ex does the same thing, transfering packages to the post office for areas that they don't have many scheduled deliveries for.

I see both UPS and Fex Ex trucks on my street once to twice a day. We all must order a lot on line!

UPS delivers here, but not door to door delivery as a guy recently left a large package outside my gate, would not bring it to my front door, so I had to request a call tag from Q to return it as I could not lift it, very upset about this. UPS should obviously have sent two guys, as they have done in the past. They drop and run.

I got two deliveries from them this week. One was from See's Candy. The other was a QVC order.

Last week, I got a UPS delivery of an order from Amazon.

It's the luck of the draw, lol.
