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.

Absolutely terrible service. Extremely slow on delivering products. Absolutely ridiculous on the phone. You never get an answer to fight for weeks for a lost package. You never get reimbursed and they have excuses that are ridiculous. Also, can add an image or anything else because the package is missing. Again!

Terrible customer service
January 17, 2023

I paid $77.00 to overnight legal documents, I gave the employee the address to have the documents overnight too. She entered the address wrong, caught it the next day. It took UPS 3 business days to find the package then another 2 days to deliver to the correct address. The employee informed me that it would be delivered in one day after locating the package. Asked for a refund because of all the wrong information, was told to come by the store in 2 business day and a check would be waiting for me. Came by 3 days later, no check. No accountability, no answers, no refund. The worst company ever. Will let my family, friends and co-workers know not to use ups due to its poor customer service. The Manger and employee are rude and not helpful. Spoke with the owner on 1-11 told she would leave a check at the store (#2212- 8803 Brecksville Road STE 7 *******

The following is a copy of an email that I sent to UPS Customer Service after being on hold for upwards of 20 minutes before I gave up. No one has responded to me whatsoever about the situation.

Dear customer, service representative,

After being on hold for over 18 minutes I decided it's best to send you an email.

On January 14,2013 at 11:15 AM, I returned Amazon items at your UPS location at 3800a Bridgeport Way, West in University Pl.,, Washington. I am legally blind and use magnification software to read the return information on the Amazon website using my cell phone. I was told by your representative ( who I later discovered is the owner) that I was too slow and that she didn't have time for me. She told me that I should take a screenshot of the return codes. Instead of arguing with her that I could not see those screenshots because the print that they use is much too small for me, I left feeling humiliated and discriminated against. Interestingly enough, while visiting that location many times over the last couple of years, I have never had that experience with other representatives. No doubt this representative was stressed because she was the only employee there on the busiest day of the week. However, her stress does not allow for discrimination or discourteous behavior that humiliate anyone.

I pride myself on being an independent disabled person. It will be necessary for me to visit that location in the future. I would very much appreciate your assurance that I will not again be discriminated against or embarrassed in front of other customers.

My thanks in advance,

Laura L. Beigh, MSW

I had a package that was supposed to be delivered on December 23rd or 24th ended up calling customer service and asking for a supervisor wl call her Karen so Karen decided she wanted to get on the phone immediately and come at me sideways so I provided her that same energy your job as a supervisor is to listen to the customer me diescalate if needed and find a resolution all she wanted to do was argue about where the package is or is not it wasn't at my door you guys deliver stuff to the wrong address all the time then she tells me it's been delivered by the Post Office and then she tells me she's not sure so I asked her can you just please file a claim for me because I got tired of listening to her attitude and she hung up on me So if you can't handle being in customer service maybe you should find another job

We received a gift from a from our broker for Christmas that was 3 bottles of expensive wine. UPS delivered on time, had me sign for the package, handed me the package and ran off. As I took the package to the kitchen to open I knew something was wrong. One of the bottles was broken. I did all the things necessary to file a claim with UPS (never got to talk to a human). About a week later I got a notice that my claim was handled. I logged into UPS to find out that they determined it was the sender's responsibility, UPS was closing the claim and I should call the sender. I called the sender and they said UPS picks up from them so it couldn't have been their problem. Isn't UPS responsible for inspecting the package (mine was still wet) before accepting it? Then when I called to escalate there is no way. Their customer service line is just an automated continuous loop that keeps you from talking to a human. I let my broker know and he said he will make sure next year's presents won't be delivered by UPS.

If I could give a zero rating I would!. So sick and tired of not receiving items I order when UPS is the shipping. One of the hubs before an item comes into Detroit is the UPS Mail Innovations in Rossford OH, 9860 Olde US 20. This location is clearly stealing packages. I found over 200 negative reviews of from Nov 19,2022 where to date 1/13/2023 HAVE NOT received their packages. I placed an order on December 16th. Package shows it went to this UPS in Ohio December 28th. Today is January 13th and I still don't have my package. UPS site says package has been delivered to USPS. USPS site says they received notification of a package but have not received the package. My complaint is consistent with others as it relates to this issue and location and UPS is doing nothing about it.

The UPS delivery guy has not informed me about the package delivery. He kept my parcel in the lobby area instead he had to put it in the mailbox or outside of my apartment.

I ordered an item from the US and upon receiving my parcel I was billed for shipment fees as normal. I gave my information to the UPS courier and was billed the amount about a week later. I was then again billed 2 days later for the same amount for the same shipment. I phoned UPS and told that I would have to prove to them that they billed me twice. They then informed me they would only pay me back 10 days after they received their second payment for the same parcel. I had to jump through hoops proving their mistake, spending my time to correct their error, and that I would have to wait for them to correct their error.

This is a logistics company that provides an app to keep users informed about delivery status.
I have my own data that reflects an 88% failure rate not including deliveries that come before the estimated range. I ask what's the point.
During the past 2 years they have lost 5 out of 237 packages.
Compared to FedEx which has lost 7 out of 103
Amazon lost 40 out of 2100 - but they replace everything-
USPS, lost 2, out of 84, but is late on 83%.
In all, I suggest UPS and FEDEX use Amazon for more reliable service

Ups pigsss
January 12, 2023

I am very disappointed; this hasn't been the first I've lost my package but just this morning I was passing the BP ups this morning and as I'm passing I can clearly see workers in the parking lot sharing drinking/ smoking in the parking lot! This what you represent UPS?! No wonder your workers lose and mishandled so many packages. I could have sweared you tested their employees. What I witnessed was unprofessional and I hope you fire these employees; I wouldn't want them
Handling any packages.

Service is top notch!,
January 13, 2023

I visit a UPS Store #5046 location at 1167 W.Baltimore pike to send my IPAD out for repair by Assurion. Daniel greeted me with politenesses, I gave him my package. For some reason the information that Assurion emailed me wouldn't work. Daniel reach out to Joe,Joe ask me to call Assurion and Joe waited until I had a person online. Joe took the time and talked to the representative on online, I was in there for about 30 minutes. At no time did Daniel or Joe rush me or put me aside. They were both so kind, patient and helpful until I got my issues resolved. Thank you for hiring the best people

1 star is too much
January 12, 2023

They make receiving packages absolutely impossible in Spain! I have tried repeatedly to make contact and given all the information I can - Ive created an account and updated online, rang customer support multiple times (their instructions did not work - whatever form they told me to fill in is not where they said it would be on the website), I've emailed with my information as instructed by support. Support can't even email me any information - apparently I need to fill in a form and email it which doesnt exist anywhere they tell me to find it, and they cannot email me it? After weeks of waiting they have told me theyre sending my parcel back. Are they expecting me to confirm to receive the package by smoke signals and morse code? AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Purolator charged $75 to broker my $200 shipment into Canada, after I paid $60 shipping. My actual customs fee was $25 and their fee brought customs payments to over $100. I was not on the ball to have my usual broker (Summit Customs Brokers) bring my shipment across the border. The customs payment itself should have been 6%, so on top of charging a ridiculous fee, they didn't even get my good's category right, and I overpaid on my customs bill. I will never make this mistake again.

UPS Lies about delivery
January 11, 2023

UPS claims they delivered a package to my front porch on 6:41 on 30 Dec 22. I showed proof from my security camera (Arlo) no one was present at that time. Sadly, they refused to accept my evidence. Worthless claim process even if you can demonstrate they did not make the delivery. I signed the form by the investigating officer that they did not make the delivery and shared my evidence. Worthless. I'm out the money for the package as the sending company - KMTools will not honor my evidence. Tough/ costly lesson on both UPS and KMTools.

Never again
January 10, 2023

9 out of 10 times I've had packages delivered by UPS they don't deliver it when scheduled. Even when it says it's out for delivery. Today's delivery said the business was closed when they attempted to leave it. There's no business within 20 miles of my house. I stayed home all day waiting for this delivery for nothing! Now I have to wait until Monday. My time doesn't seem to be valuable to them. I never thought I'd say USPS would do a better job than UPS but, the day has finally come. The post office does a better job than UPS! From now on I'm going yo ask vendors to not ship UPS.

Very poor handling of logistics with Fiji Agent (Express Freight Management) as worst contributors, hardly provide any response to follow up and takes weeks to get the shipment delivered. The three keywords to match the business acumen would be unprofessional, unreliable and poorest handler.

The shipment left China on 12th December and a month later, still not reached its destination by Airfreight. It sat in Australia from 28th December to 09th January on the excuse of unavailable flights whereas Australia to Fiji is a regular destination..

Once again package was thrown on the ground by the road for anyone to take. I live about 50 yards from the road so it is easy for anyone to take my packages. Have had packages taken 3 times because they didn't deliver them. Called customer service and was told it's not their problem that they were stolen. To call police. These packages are medicine that keeps me or my mom alive. Without the meds either one of us can die. UPS doesn't care if I die. Just about their money. They should be shut down until they do the job they are paid to do.
