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.

This is the most frustrating and least helpful customer service I have ever encountered! I received an email saying that they were unable to deliver my package because "no one was home". Both my husband and I were here all day and I was even outside working in the garden where I was visible!. The email said my package was being held for e at a UPS location but did not say where that location was. I tried calling the phone number for UPScustomer service but just got a recording that lead me round and round in circles without helping. Then I tried going on line. I paid $1 to join something called Howly which promised an expert to help me. I waited for a long time without any expert appearing and then noticed another number you could supposedly call for help. That lead to a person who told me they only dealt with billing issues. I didn't have a billing issue. I tried online again and was then asked to pay $1 to join Howly. - despite having already done so only minutes before! What a scam! I spent almost two hours simply trying to find where my package was being held and was unable to do so. I wish there was a way I could leave zero stars in this review because this customer service is really terrible!
Horrible service. My parcel during the day was out for delivery and arrived at the same carrier facility for several times. Unbelievable. It had to be delivered 3 days ago and now it is traveling withing the one facility.
My coat came covered in wrinkles. It was totally destroyed on its way to me by inept ups transport care
Ordered goods from Sweden to be delivered in Switzerland within 5 days and paid ~65 USD for this service. The UPS tracker was delayed by more than 6 hours, the updates were incorrect and the estimated time of delivery turned out to be 4,5 days wrong... Calling UPS was even worse: The last person I spoke to was in a playground, was completely clueless and had no help whatsoever to offer!
This is the second day my package was not delivered! I have called and spoken to numerous representatives! Every time I get a delivery with UPS they never deliver to my address! I was told by a representative today that my package that should've been delivered yesterday would be delivered today!
I did not pay for delivery to go and pick up my own package! UPS delivers in my area daily so why every time I have a UPS delivery they never show! I'm tired of complaining and not getting my issue resolved!
Several representatives assured me that I would not have this issue again yet and still I constantly have this issue! Someone needs to contact me now! I hate this company because no one seems to be on one accord and you guys clearly make reassurances that you can not honor! Pissed is an understatement! This is ridiculous! No one should have to spend days trying to get a reason as to why their package is not being delivered!
This company makes absolutely no attempts to deliver any packages. Their customer service numbers won't help you. Had one driver say he delivered something that was never delivered and now I have one that won't even attempt to deliver my package at all. I got told by their customer service number that he was clocking out for the day so they aren't going to do anything. This company is a money grab and trash.
I paid for overnight shipping, 200$ actually EXTRA in fees to get an item to Dominican Republic OVERNIGHT. I was guaranteed it would get there. We are FIVE DAYS LATER, and still nothing. Customer service says someone will call back, do they ever? Nope. Do they know why my package delayed? Nope. Just a HORRIBLE service and they wont even refund me for the overnight shipping cost.
Two packages in a row were left at a "locker" - I have no locker. Their answering service literally will not put me through to anyone for help. When I try to file a cliam - the form rejects me and says it was delivered. HORRIBLE USE FEDEX!
Went to the local drop off store (Ace hardware in Burney, ca.) (17 miles, one way) clerk said that only his boss could give a recite as the system is password protected, what the $#*! boss did not tell clerk, IS THAT THE F--KING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING, I waited for a f-kking hour for this guy, to find this out
Brand new UPS System, that doesnt f--king work, typical UPS f-ked up systems
$#*!s could not even give a hand written recite
HOW $#*!ED UP IS THAT?
BET THE BIGGEST TAX WRITE OFF for UPS IS LOST PACKAGES
SINCE ITS A 50/50 CHANCE OF THEM LOSEING THE PACKAGES anyway
UPS lost my car title, yet logged a time/date of delivery. I have a home video and delivery did not occur. Claims and "support" all exist online only. They allegedly tried to locate the package containing the title and couldn't. End of story. End of claim. No compensation, no apology, no communication, no responsibility taken.
They charged the car dealer I purchased from over $50 to overnight the title, then said they delivered it 5 days later, yet they have no idea where it really went. Again, WORTHLESS and IRRESPONSIBLE.
Ups is absolutely the worst company in the history of the United States. No customer service. Not only will I never use ups again but I also will never do business with a company that does business with ups in the future
I wasted a full day waiting on a package that was supposed to belivered on a Tuesday containing important focuments and a check. The package never showed, when tracked it showed no delays and won't be delivered til Thursdsy. And when talking with the rep who had no answers but sorry and you can call back and maybe get a refund. That doesn't help with the fees I was charged, the fees I'll will be charged or the lack of my documents needed for a process that takes 6 to 8 weeks to get done. That now has to be started over. So paying for a guaranteed ship date is a joke with this company... pay the extra and use Fed EX or the USPS... if you really need your package to arrive on time as UPS apparently cannot hold up their end of what they promise.
Amateurish and failed. Expected delivery on a Friday so stayed at home near front door, but got a 'failed delivery' email, although the driver had clearly not been to my house. Spoke to UPS customer service who twice promised that the local depot would contact me to explain and/or resolve the issue, but neither call happened. On the Monday I stayed at home again expecting a reattempt at delivery, and got a 'delivered' email although no package had been delivered to my house. To make matters worse, UPS would not tell me where the package had been delivered. Thankfully a neighbour suggested a street halfway across town with a similar name, which was in fact where the parcel had been left. A complete failure in every aspect.
Package from Nashville, TN to Memphis, TN normally needs 1 day via USPS. Took 4 (four) days with freaking UPS.
Trucking system is really bad. We did Amazon return with UPS a week ago. No movement on a trucking. And it is not first time we have trouble with this company.
My parcel is lost.

I sent it on the 02.09.
Today we are 30.09.
They told me the investigation takes 8 days. But in fact I'm waiting more than 3 weeks!
They ignore my messages, my request and me also.
I DON'T RECOMMEND UPS TO ANYONE!
We are supposed to receive a package 9/27/22. UPS says "we missed you and taking your package to a local UPS Access Point" without even actually trying to deliver it? Me and my wife waited the WHOLE Day for the package and this is what we got. No phonecall, no miss call, no message, no doorbell, they just posted a letter to a wall thats not even our wall maybe to say "oh we attempted to deliver it". My god is this how you guys work? Very very disappointing. Who ever the delivery guy is, is so lazy, needs to get fired does not deserve his job. They told us that our package will be delivered to the designated UPs Access Point the next day which is 9/28/22. Guess what, it is already 9/29/22 and our package is still NOT in the UPs access point. Seriously, they don't really care about you or your item. Never had issues with Fedex or Amazon prime deliveries. We ended up processing a refund/cancellation with TMobile. Next time we are receiving a very important package, need to make sure it wont be UPS. Period!
I sent the key to our beach condo to Daytona. Before I sent it I was promised it would arrive. The driver said "I assumed the business was closed so I didn't go". But it was open and waiting for my package. So I never got the package ti it's destination. And they assured me since the driver made a ignorant choice and decided ti lie and put "made first attempt" that they would have it ready for pick up at UPS the next morning. Well that didn't happen and I never got the key to the condo. And this was before the hurricane. So that being said I couldn't shut the storm blinds and the condo may get ruined because of a ignorant choice by UPS driver and the lies from the facility manager. I'll never use ups again and I will most likely be calling my attorney if it gets damaged. 1ZE221R*******303 Benji Richards. *******868
These boobs just can't get it right; they hire (at impressive rates) largely idiots, who seem to
Be illiterate, dense and just plain stupid. If one were to go by the behavior of their drivers, one would surmise that the majority of them live in exclusive, gated communities, where deliveries are sacrosanct and immune to porch pirates.
UPS, FedEx and Amazon all need to have some serious words with their apparently mostly low IQ delivery staff. And SOON. And don't even start with your stupid robots and killer driverless delivery vehicles. The day that happens here is the day my orders with online companies stops dead in its tracks. I don't want a robot coming up to my door. I don't want a driverless vehicle delivering them. I don't want drones dropping packages of my head. F right off with this s- -t. The Libs are trying to shove down our throats and up our asses an obscenely stupid and supremely untenable future. Because they're dumb as boxes of hair, bags of hammers and heaps of rusted doorknobs…
I shipped & insured stoneware dishes to my sister through UPS. I used a brand new heavy duty box and wrapped each piece individually with tons of bubble wrap. I paid additional money to insure them and wrote fragile all over the box in big black letters. When my sister received the box, the box was split open on an edge and all the lower corners of the box were crushed. Needless to say, there were several broken dishes! I then filed a claim with UPS and they told me that they would send a representative out to my sister's home to inspect it. She waited all day for them at her home (along with 4 other people) & no one from UPS ever showed up. Then UPS lied about it and said that they had been to my sister's home, but that there was no response. Obviously the UPS representative was not out doing their job that day! UPS then asked for pictures of the damage instead, so my sister emailed 12 pictures of the damage to the claims department to show the abuse on the box and the broken dishes. Apparently that wasn't good enough! UPS doesn't bother telling you when you're purchasing additional insurance, what the UPS requirements are if you're going to file a claim. They require many pictures, including a picture of the damaged items inside the box before removing them. Now who in the world would take pictures of the broken pieces in the box before removing the items first? Then they wanted additional pictures of all the wrapping & stuffing used in the box and their request list went on & on and did for almost 3 weeks in my case. It was never enough - there was no pleasing them! Then finally after 19 days, they told me that the damage wasn't their fault (even though the box was clearly trashed by them) and that my request for compensation had been denied. Anyway, just a heads up! Please do not waste your money on additional insurance! It means absolutely nothing and the time spent fighting them is just not worth it! I will never use UPS again!
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!
