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.

Ups has become not such a good company. I had a treadmill that needed to be picked up by ups and returned to amazon. The ups guy showed up didn't knock and when I tried to get his attention before he left he completely ignored me. I was furious I know he heard me! So I then called ups and I was told that another attempt would be made the next day. Nothing happened the next day either. I'm alone and had a hard time bringing treadmill out to front porch! I did manage to get it outside myself. I left treadmill out all day from 8am to till 9:30pm at night with porch light on. United parcel service never showed. This company used to be Great but now they're bad like the others. Beware of any lies or promises they make to you on phone. The next day I had to put treadmill into my Jeep thank god it fit with back partially open... I'm extremely disappointed and disgusted! I guess BROWN just leaves you hanging around!
I would never ever ship anything with UPS they always lose my items taken to the wrong address or don't show up like today this is the second time in a month say they're going to show up and they don't that's ridiculous
We used to be able to rely on ups with every delivery. Not any more. Since the beginning of 2020, pre COVID, something changed. Packages arrived late, sometimes damaged, sometimes on time. The past two packages have been utterly ridiculous. We have commercial delivery. Was supposed to receive a package on Friday, but got an email at 2am saying because of situations out of their control a package that 2as sitting in their facility 7 miles away couldn't be delivered until Monday. Ok, situations out of their control. I get it. Then on Monday I get an email saying the tried to deliver on Sunday to a commercial address and of course couldn't deliver, but left a notice on the door. Really? The driver was able to go through a locked chain link 6 foot gate with 2 feet of barbed wire on the top to leave a notice? Wow, he's some kind of liar. No notice was on any door or the gate. They then gave the package to usps with no delivery dates to go with it or any information because that was on the invisible notice left by the driver. Now today, a package was to be delivered, issue today is they have it on a residential delivery schedule till 9 pm tonight. Um the office will be locked up again. No one showed and we can't use my ups because it's a commercial address and won't recognize the address. Tried 6 different ways to contact a human, can't, no one available because of COVID. Too risky using a phone, could catc6it by talking to customers on the phone got it. So, here I sit outside the business, waiting for my package, wondering if it will arrive before the nightly riots begin or if I have to risk things being stolen or myself hurt because ups is trying to deliver to a commercial address with residential times. Great, female sitting alone in the dark waiting. Thank ups.
I will NEVER EVER ship with UPS again. They are holding my package because something with "billing" isn't correct. I PAID FOR THE SHIPPING I WANT MY PACKAGE! I tried the 1800 number and they keep disconnecting me, I've tried the virtual assistant, I've called every UPS store in my area and no one will help me.
They didn't take care of my box it was open, and they dropped my flowers an make the Mess around my front door we pay for a good service. They have three delays and I pay for a next day shipping, and I have my package 3 days after.
They take 3 days and then some to ship a part that is supposed to be here in 1 day! It is pathetic as it is 300 miles from where it was shipped from!
Bought 2TV'S for my kids rooms the tracking said delivery day June 4 but they delivered today I'm happy for that but instead to put it by my door step it was drop by my drive where everyone can see and could have been stolen good thing I was home and I open the door to check on my car.
THE WORST
Not sure if this is the fourth or eighth package every time since it's going to be dropped off Friday don't end up seeing it until later next week!?!
It never fails every single time there's no reason to say that you were going to deliver something if you don't know when it can be delivered!
This is the third time the package has disappeared coming from Richmond, BC to the island...
Yesterday I phone to inquire and complain now half the information that was posted is no longer available
Not to mention there is no delivery date now...
So tired of the companies I use always using UPS absolute rubbish
Everytime i order online and see the seller used ups i get disappointed, its a hit and miss with these guys. Never got updates and usually late, people have things to do and we schedule our day around your delivery. Dont hold your breath with these guys im sick of waiting on your estimated times of arrival, better just say "most likely to be a few days late" -5 stars
So, I've ordere my babie's birth certificate through Vitalcheck. They sent it by UPS by Air, which is next day delivery! Week later I don't have my package, escalated an issue to a sorting facility manager, she called me promised they have found it and I still haven't received it. 2 days later I've started investigation, representative that helped me, said its gonna take 1-3 business days. I'm calling them again, trying to get a hold of that manager. Instead, a very rude person calling me back from Concord facility in Northern California and yelling at me that there's no way a manager would have called me. That my package is lost. She didn't let me ask a single question, just hanged up on me.
Very rude, ignorant person
And every representative is giving different information each time I call. Avoid this service! Very unprofessional!
Freaken GARBAGE Company
Freaken GARBAGE Company. Super useless.
1. Deliveries are always days or weeks late.
2. Loose track of people 's packages.
3. Don't even have the latest update on package tracking.
4. Telephone service is garbage. Tells you wait time is around 20 minutes and I waited for over 3 hours and they just hung up. Called back again and guess what? They are closed for the day.
5. Bull shiet information on you package. Tells you delivery date and time but never comes. Got an email saying my package will be delivered on the 28th between 12 to 4pm. Never showed up. Went to the app to see the update. Tells you information unavailable.
Super fcuking GARBAGE COMPANY.
THANK YOU UPS FOR YOUR GOD DAME USELESS HARD WORK.
I have a company in Switzerland and UPS made me lose around USD25'000.-
In a month because of the delay in delivering my importations.
THEY LIED to me and to my supplier saying all the time that important documents were missing, what's fake!
I visited the UPS local and I saw the information with my own eyes, the importation has been accepted by the customs in 3 days after I have done the labels, but they got stopped for a month in their locals.
I wasted many hours trying to have my delivery, explaining and re-sending the same documents every time.
Now, one month later the invoices arrived before the importation, and all those products ARE USELESS because it was a big order for important clients. All of them cancelled their order due to the delay and bought from someone else.
I lost around USD25'000.- and I'll not rest until I tell everybody that this company is a shame!
To be honest, please, avoid having a business contract with them.
The costs are very high, the service is horrible, the phone number never respond and you have to insist many times to TRY to have any information or a solution.
If I could give 0 stars I would.
1. Delivery so is so far 8 days late, with three 3 false delivery dates.
2. Tracking is completely useless.
3. Website and App are completely useless.
4. Customer service are completely useless and takes forever to talk to someone (1/2 a hour on hold 2x and have to navigate your way through their automated system first).
Lenovo, your laptops are great, but your choice of courier is not and its reflecting poorly on you as a brand. I will not be shopping with you again if the parcel is being delivered by UPS.
I took off from work waiting on my package... I sat on my porch ALL DAY... I GOES BACK TO TRACK MY PACKAGE AND IT SAYS DRIVER TRIED TO DELIVER. I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE THE DRIVER LIED LIKE THAT NOT 1 I REPEAT NOT 1 UPS TRUCK CAME TO MY STREET TODAY AND IM VERY UPSET. IF I ORDER ANYTHING AND UPS IS INVOLVED I DON'T WANT IT
UPS driver turned up at my door with a package. Said I owe $49.77 (a little higher than what I was expecting, but fine, I knew I was paying something for a return). Handed him a credit card to swipe he says he has no way to process that. He also can't accept cash. Checks only. Checks?! Like those things my parents used 20 years ago? Who has those anymore? I asked if I could call UPS to pay by card. He said yes. I called UPS and they said they are not able to process debit or credit cards by phone, not online and also not at a local UPS store. What kind of business doesn't accept payment by cash or card? I asked my bank for a checkbook - they cost $19 and take 2 weeks to arrive. You think UPS is going to hold my package for 2 weeks? Useless company.
I was sitting on the couch by my door and saw the delivery guy place a sticker on my door and drove off. Soon as I open my door as he was getting in the truck he drove off with my package now I have to go pick up my package at the access point 40 mins away from my house. Ups you are trash and never write reviews so you have to be actually trash man.
Only open for 1 hour Monday through Friday? Really? After spending 10 minutes with the automated system, can never get a live agent to pick up the phone as apparently all customer service agents are no longer working? The message is customer service is closed and no live agents are picking up phone calls. Instead of delivering a package that was scheduled for today (birthday gift to be given today), they pawn it off on the post office to deliver, which means it's been delayed at least a day. I never authorized this hand off and if I knew they would not deliver this themselves, I would have gone to the local UPS location (during that 1 hour time frame) and picked it up myself. Useless customer service!
UPS Refuses to deliver my packages to my door and requested I come to pick it up 45 minutes away from home.
So Way Buy Online and have Packages Shipped?
Sooooo mad!
Every time I order something and it's coming from ups I already know it's going to be a problem. This specific postal service will detour me from actually buying a specific product. Don't bother paying for fast shipping with them because you're guaranteed to wait at least a week, it doesn't matter if it's 2 day or not. Late drop off times, I know if my tracker says out for delivery I won't be seeing it until after 8pm.
They kept giving me excuses about being late on my delivery they lie then when you complain theur rude they dont know what theyre doing stupid idiots morans they suck it i paid alot for express and it took two weeks they suck
Answer: Because there is ZERO accountability at UPS and they dont care about customers or having business ethics. Answer my question if you can.(Click on my profile and see it)
Answer: Because the management orders the people under them to do it, so it looks good on UPS. And most customers dont bother to complain or write reviews.
Answer: It's driver preference and they don't care. I complained about this. I'm constantly getting medical supplies delivered and they don't care
Answer: Because they don't care! For the life of me, I can't understand why anybody uses them as a delivery service.
Answer: Because they are a very poorly run company. It doesn't even run its offices domestically well, as you can see by the overwhelmingly negative reviews on this site. Use any shipping service over UPS.
Answer: UPS is a disgrace. They are a disregardful and careless business who lies to their costumers. Absolutely will not support ever again!
Answer: Sadly, today the term racist is used to define almost anyone that we disagree with. I am not a happy customer of the ups store but if you are getting death threats you need to contact the police. It is illegal in America to make death threats against anyone no matter their race, creed or color. That is the beauty of living in United States of America. You do not need to wait for a company to file charges against another human being who is threatening your life. You just need to take the appropriate, legal action against that person, good luck!
