@Kachina624   I agree with you last sentence.  And I am certainly not interested in your 'shopping habits'.  I was merely making a suggestion.  And I can assume from your reply that you've never made a mistake.

@sunsetbeach 

 

I must be lucky because it's usually the "A" driver not UPS or USPS that mess up addresses.

 

I always get packages for another person.  I normally just drop it off because it's the next street or I'll call her.

 

We have different driver for UPS almost every week.

@Kachina624 - I am sorry to hear about your situation. Everyone makes mistakes but consistently bad service is not acceptable in my opinion. It seems that no one wants to accept responsibility at times. I have had three experiences during the holidays: (1) a pair of earrings from a department store shipped without a box so I had to untangle them; (2) two prints delivered with the packages slit upon on top; and (3) my cable provider’s failure to timely post my payment. I do not have to explain to you the time and aggravation. Good luck and best wishes to you.

It must be a local issue. I always get my packages and only once got a neighbors by mistake and that was many years ago.

I wish you all could have my UPS driver! He's just wonderful! He goes over and beyond being just a delivery guy! He's friendly and kind and does his job with the utmost pride. We've never had any issues with him.

Based on my own experiences....

 

I agree that the USPS is the best as far as the actual delivery process is concerned, their issues usually occur somewhere in the pipeline where an item will be trapped in  processing center limbo for a number of days-- or it may even reach your town...only to go on an extended tour of the country for a few more days!

 

Amazon has usually been great, but sometimes they send an email saying a package was delivered and you are out scouring the neighborhood and it actually comes the following day.

 

As far as delays in the shipping routes, tracking ability, and responsive customer service go, UPS is the absolute worst.  FedEx is only marginally better.

@KatieB   I appreciate everyone's points of view...but I wish these forums didn't become a place to debate or look for an argument.  Most posts are helpful...

Welcome to the club!  I have an idiot for a UPS driver.  For several months he's left things at the wrong houses all over town.  Two weeks ago he claimed to have delivered my 4 Q packages at 4:47pm, only he didn't deliver them to me.  I was watching and never saw a truck plus my dogs never heard anybody.  The packages have never appeared.  Two of the four items were sold out.

 

Previously he left a Patricia Nash handbag at a neighbor's house.  They were on vacation so it sat on their doorstep for a week.  Thanks to our drought, there was no rain.

 

Others things have been delivered elsewhere but mysteriously appeared a day or two later.

 

I can't find a UPS phone number to complain, with a human on their end.  I wish they would just turn things over to USPS as they're supposed to do.  I get those promptly.


@Kachina624 

 

No, you do not have an idiot for a UPS driver.  He/She is someone doing their job, as fast as they can go.  That's what UPS demands of them. 

 

SMH at your comment.   You should probably go to a local store to make your purchases.


@KatieB You obviously do not have the UPS service we have.  You wouldn't be so happy with them either.  We used to get a lot of UPS packages--now mostly FedEx and I feel that it was customer complaints that have forced retailers to make the switch.  

 

FedEx is now marginally better than UPS--and UPS sends e-mails to us all day "delaying" package deliver times.  And they delive way too many things to the wrong address around here.
