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.

Rape and Pilage
May 11, 2020

Ups will rape and pillage your wallet Used them to handle brokage fees and delivery of a skimboard. Would have been faster and cheaper if I had went and picked it up myself.

Do not use!
I purchased a GoPro Max £479.00 and a Hero 8 black in December from GoPro them selves ( also do not buy direct from GoPro) the delivery was made to my next door neighbour one box had the hero 8 in it the other box was empty and had been re-tapped, I know it was definitely not my neighbour, but the box with the GoPro Max was empty, I contacted GoPro who will do nothing about it, they told me to contact UPS which I did, they collected the packaging immediately and said they would investigate, I contacted them to find out what was happening and they told me there contract was with GoPro not me so they will tell me anything. GoPro do not answer the customer service phone number you have to enter your details into the customer service contact web page and they will call you back, I have done this at least 50 times and they do not call you back. These are the two worst companies I have ever dealt with stay clear of both of them.

Never ship with UPS if you cannot afford to lose it!
I ship and receive lots of packages every day. Of that UPS is the worst compared to others. If they lost a package, your item is lost. They will drag you with all kinds of paperwork and at last, they show you the middle finger. I am cutting down all our UPS shipments and requesting all my vendors to avoid UPS shipping.

Terrible
May 4, 2020

Waited in lobby for my package. Driver drove up and before I could get out the door, he stuck a "could not deliver" notice on the outside door and RAN back to the truck and drove off. I waited on the phone for 45 minutes to inquire WTF only to be hung up on before even saying hello.
Good thing my shipping was free

AVOID UPS
May 1, 2020

UPS destroyed 8 of my 16 light fixtures and refused to do anything to help me. They told me it was my problem and they were not doing anything more to help. The retailer stepped up and made right everything that UPS destroyed. Customer service is a joke at best, they refused to have a manger contact me, said it was against company policy and said it would take to long to speak to a supervisor. AVOID UPS if you have options!

The worst delivery company I've ever seen in a decade.
1) The divers do not carry phones and can call you when they arrive.
2) Customer service is useless.

They set my delivery to a pickup point that is even further than the store itself after I've waited for their delivery more than a weak.

Always days late
April 30, 2020

UPS packages are always days late for some reason. Why isn't the shipping updated when there's a delay? Why be so ambitious about estimated delivery dates when it's ALWAYS late?

Do you want your package delayed and you calling daily call to check on its status? Do you want hypertension? Then UPS is the company for you.

HORRENDOUS COMPANY
April 28, 2020

UPS has effectively lost entirely all of my future business. They have provided me not one, not two, but three false delivery dates. My parcel requires a signature so I must be home when it arrives otherwise it will take an additional two days as it must be returned to the sorting facility and processed... I have wasted 2 days due to their incompetence. I called yesterday and sat on hold for 45 minutes only to be told they cannot call the sorting facility and there's nothing I can do but wait but that the package was scanned and will be out for delivery today. I checked online today and my package was not listed as "out for delivery" so again, I sat on hold for an additional 50 minutes only to be told the exact. Same. Thing. At least this time I called in the morning so a third day won't be wasted. Garbage

DO NOT USE UPS!
April 26, 2020

My urgent document has been delayed for 2 days by UPS.

As a result, my partner and myself have high risk of missing the Repatriation Flights sent by our Government, which will cost us thousands of dollars being trapped in the foreign country.

UPS has the poorest customer service I have ever seen. They are slow and can not be trusted.

We will never use UPS again. Please use other courier.

DO NOT USE UPS.

Terrible service
April 24, 2020

UPS Hungary is the most pathetic service one can have on Earth. I shipped a package after paying 150 USD from USA to Hungary. It reached to their Budapest store which they call Vecses in six days and the package is lying there for the last ten days without any headway. They play dirty tricks. First they say the name of the receiver is incorrect, once you update it then they say the address seems to be incorrect, once you update the address then they say that there is no phone number of receiver on the package. I told them that on the airway bill it is mentioned but still they would insist to provide. Once you update the phone number then next day they say the receiver has requested to reschedule the delivery!, they then schedule a delivery but no one comes! They again say on their tracking web that a new reschedule is in progress. I have called their support centres 50 times to check what's going on? The call center from USA respond but say that they have no direct contact with Hungary center? But also make promise to help. The support center of Hungary don't hear a call, they receive the phone and put it on the side without answering anything. I have read in the reviews that these people are thieves and do the same tricks and then steal the package after declaring it that no one received it. You can not find any UPS mail address to report this matter directly instead you get Robot replying you standard answers and they don't even understand what you are trying to convey them. It s my humble request to everyone that please do not send your package to Europe through UPS especially to Hungary. HUNGARY UPS is a monster, it eats whatever it receives. They do not care that how much agony one can have if he has to go all this fraud. I pray to God to guide them and teach them how to do their jobs honestly. I will certainly take them to the task as I did not earn my money through fraud or cheating.

UPS is the worst delivery company. They never deliver on time. Deliveries are late for days. Customer service is the worst. They have no clue where the packages are. I will never again order from a company that uses UPS for delivery!
