UPS Sucks

soutthpaw · #1 Tue, March 24th, 2009, 01:32 PM

well checked on my shipment and as usual UPS has screwed it up again
I see this notification along with a rescheduled delivery date
INCORRECT ROUTING AT UPS FACILITY :tantrum:

I swear that at least 25% of stuff UPS delivers to me is either Lost or damaged or delayed.... I honestly don't know how they stay in business. plus their tracking system is slow

I use Fedex Ground and have never had a problem with a delivery or receiving a shipment via Fedex. I also find them to be cheaper than UPS....

Amazing!

I never have had a problem with UPS.

I have had more problems with USPS and FedEx with there signature policies. But to rate any of them, I give them all an "A".

don't ask me how but they actually lost a complete leaf spring for my last truck at their commerce CO facility... when i called them, they said only the shipper can start a search or claim and they had no way to contact that facility and get them too look for a 70ish lb 5 foot long giant black steel spring

eventually got a new spring shipped but it was such a hassle.... another time they threw a new cell phone over the fence and my saint bernard ate it. . so I called and told them what happened and put a big sign on the gate saying not to throw package over fence as dog will eat it... You can guess what they did when they redelivered a replacement phone.....:bash:

UPS... I think they picked brown for a reason

Ok my mopped floor is dry so back to my

duties

UPS has been pretty good to me, usually a little late but its all in one piece. Fed-ex on the other hand...not so good. I had order something from a company and it took about 8 business days, the box should have been about 2 inches thick but when I got it, it was completely flat, broken into a bunch of pieces

The worse part about it was this happen 3 times

But luckily I had enough parts from from 3 shipments to make one product

I've had nothing but good luck with UPS.

Fedex Ground has always been good for me. However, when I was wrenching at John Deere, our smaller tractors got delivered via Fedex Freight. I think every other tractor that they delivered was damages... usually the plastic fenders or hood were broken or cracked some place. Boy gotta love those new fangled plastic tractors....

I have used USPS and UPS and have had no complaints so far!

Maybe the UPS guy broke one and used yours to fix it.

I've had one problem with UPS,tracked a shipment,waited in all day and nothing came.
I checked the web site and it said" returned to sender" so i called UPS only to be told by girl that my address does not exist to which i started to laugh at her,she asked me "what was so funny", i'm calling you from the non existant address.....her reply "oh ,we have a problem".
Since then i've been UPS trouble free.
