UPS Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of UPS is marred by significant concerns regarding service reliability and customer support. Many customers report frequent delays in package delivery, errors in shipping, and inadequate responsiveness from customer service representatives. Complaints highlight issues with lost packages, unfulfilled delivery promises, and a lack of accountability, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. While some customers acknowledge the company's long-standing presence in the industry, the prevailing sentiment is overwhelmingly negative, with calls for improved communication and service efficiency. This feedback suggests that UPS must urgently address operational shortcomings to restore customer trust and satisfaction.

No drop-off, no notice either.
April 15, 2023

Bought a breadmaker 2 weeks ago, it was supposed to be delivered by UPS, but I never received it, when I went to track the parcel on the web, it said the parcel has delivered 4 days ago at 5:40pm, I was at home at that time however never got called or buzzed, they even didn't leave a notice in my mailbox. What kind of delivery service is this!

The worst
April 15, 2023

They've had my package in their local office for two days but for some unknown reason have been unable to deliver it. The vendor Amazon has been no help so finally agreed to give me a refund. So much for the convenience of shopping at home.

Abbysmal service
April 14, 2023

Notification about the delivery did not come. Access Point is open when I am at work 9:00 till 6 P.M. I had no choice of the access point (and I would've chosen one that is near my work). No proof of package ownership has been sent to me, or left in the mailbox, I had to guess how to receive the package. I don't think anyone came to my address to deliver the package. I don't know how can a private company be so much worse than state owned postal service but here we are.

Apart from being late, charging unexpected customs fees, horrible customer service with horrible accents and low volume, no specific order delivery time, not being on time for the delivery time, I guess the only good part is I received the product I wanted?

Don't trust
April 12, 2023

Don't trust UPS. I have sent the laptop but it got lost/ stolen. I can understand this could happens but customer service and other teams were lying to me for two months that everything is ok. They also pretended to be a manager/ supervisor when I wanted to speak to them. Finally when o got connected with investigation team they said it's lost and I managers never spoken to me. I only got refund for delivery not for the laptop because I had no receipt for it.

Annoying
April 11, 2023

I missed signing for a package while I was at work, but when I went to the store they didn't have it. Now I have to wait for it till tomorrow afternoon. They said to call customer service to get it sooner, but they said they couldn't do anything. I would have rather had them just say that in the store than waste time on the phone with no results. It was a gift for someone, so that's where it's annoying.

Terrible Company
April 11, 2023

This company is terrible at everything! They're automated service refuses to connect you to an operator, you have to open an investigation to get the to track down a package, the will mark packages delivered when they never come to your home. They don't take pictures of where they delivered. If you miss one call they will close the investigation on your package. When you finally get a live person on the phone the accents are so think it's difficult to communicate. This company is trash avoid at all costs.

Worst Service Ever
April 10, 2023

Paid $109.00 to overnight something. 3 days later not there can't find it. Was on the phone literally all day. People literally lie to you just to get you off the phone. As of tonight still don't have it. Was told at 11:00 am found package and we could drive to location and get it. They were suppose to call from location no one called. This was a very important document and now I am totally screwed thanks to UPS. Cost me a lot of money and a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks for ruining everything UPS. I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. They mess with people's lives and don't care. They are a very poorly run company and take advantage of people's trust in them. NEVER AGAIN.

UPS courier is the Worse service ever. Don't use UPS courier. My parcel never arrived. It was sent twice and after two months I got a notification that my service was disrupted and sent back to the sender. Both delivery and customer service are terrible.

BEWARE
April 6, 2023

Beware ordering anything to be delivered by UPS. First, they left my order AT THE LOCAL POST OFFICE, NOT MY ADDRESS! 2nd, you can NOT EVER get hold of a real person at the so called "customer service" phone number. They want your tracking number, and even if you give it to them, they will NOT give you a real person. I tried 10 times, different ways, and no live rep. I NEED MY PACKAGE DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE, NOT THE POST OFFICE BECAUSE I AM A SENIOR WITH NO WAY TO GO TO THE POST OFFICE! And the post office expects you to go THERE to get it, because it is a 3rd party, not them actually. This is so stupid and I am so mad! I do not have family to go get it, or friends where I live now. BEWARE, DO NOT ORDER FROM ANYONE OR STORE USING UPS IF YOU NEED YOUR ORDER TO GO TO YOUR HOME DIRECTLY.

My package was due 04-05-23 between 12:30pm and 4:30 pm. After sitting in front of my open door for over four hours I got a notice of attempted delivery while the UPS tracking app showed the driver in the Taco Belle parking lot behind my complex. My complex has no gates, fences, codes, pets or anything else that could hinder delivery. I watched on the app over 4 hours while the guy drove all around me and passed me up 3 times. I am a disabled senior citizen and really don't need stress for no reason. I have contacted Midway USA and informed them as long as they use UPS I won't be doing any further business with them. These delivery charges are already outrageous anyway. I have had issues in the past from UPS and others with deliveries and will no longer wait to complain. With much hope my package will show up tomorrow but I have my doubts from past experiences. I don't know how the BBB gives them such a high rating when the reviews there are worse than here, go figure, no accountability. How can they improve service? That should be apparent.

Lost my phone in a river, so ordered a new one. I specifically chose FedEx (just a little better shipper) but the sender accidently messed up and sent it through UPS. Living without a phone is almost impossible since I need it both for school, work, and communication. UPS gave me a reasonable delivery time, but they do NOT deliver close to on time. On the tracking pager, there's a map showing where the delivery truck is, I literally watched the UPS truck pass BY MY HOUSE without stopping, but stopping 2 doors down. And then procced to leave on the map. LITERALLY THE WORST SHIPPING SERVICE IN THE WORLD. Heck, I'd have my package 3x as fast even with DHL.

I asked for a change of address, and was informed that it would be completed within 48 hours. However, it has now been 96 hours and I have yet to receive my order.

As a customer of 36 years, I'm very disappointed in how I've been treated. Demanding payment in 10 days is unreasonable. Closing my account because of an unpaid bill not received when bills after were paid. Telling me my account will open when paid then saying no you won't open my account us less I give you my bank account info. So, if someone gets my account info you can wipe out my bank account. Good by UPS hello Federal Express. I am small but if enough customers feel like me you will become small.

The absolute WORST goddamn delivery experience through UPS. The delivery driver was literally one street over from my street and marked my address as could not be located... My neighbor lives in the same building and received a UPS package a day prior... I paid for express services to deliver by Friday 3.31.2023 of last week... Today is Monday 4/3/2023 and I still have not received my package... I called the *******877 and was taken in a complete circle even after reaching a representative of whom seemed to be a complete WASTE of TIME but only for a paycheck! I absolutely dislike UPS and will NEVER order through such a horrible company of delivery service as those suckers! UPS NEEDS TO BE BPOYCOTTED AND SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY for seeming to falsely advertise for a delivery service, take customers money and treat customer in such a bully way to deliver customer package when UPS feels like it! SUCH BULLIES, LIARS AND A WASTE of TIME!

Does anyone else have a problem with UPS deliveries not being delivered on time! I have received tracking information for three days that my package would be delivered today and of course it was not again! I saw out my window the UPS delivery truck pulled up to the end of my driveway, sat there about five minutes, the employee went into the back of the truck and came back to the drivers seat and drove away without leaving my package! This is very frustrating when you are expecting a package and you need that package and then it's not delivered on time! Why would they send me three days worth of tracking info and then not deliver!

Never on time!
April 2, 2023

I unfortunately get Ups deliveries every week despite the fact that I've asked all my vendors to ship fedex. Ups either loses the package or it's late every single time, regardless of when the estimated delivery is scheduled. Invaluable waste of time and resources to ship ANYTHING via ups!

800$, for items I didn't need but after 5 days of correcting the address and continuing to deliver to the wrong address. Then holding my package 3 cities away, I am livid. In a year I have 5-10 packages delivered by UPS and they all have issues, while on track and fed ex deliver them with no issue. This delivery company is a stain on good delivery services
