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.

I Shipped 3 packages of crystal glassware for almost $80. I di not get extra insurance because the sale on eBay was for less than $1000 per package and the agent said I had $100 of insurance. Only one package was damaged and I packed each glass the same way in each package - bubble wrap and moving paper wrap on each glass individually. I filed a claim, the buyer sent photos and the response was the claim was denied because I packed it myself. I asked if anyone had looked at the package or considered my job was sufficient in the other packages. NO. It was just denied because I had packed it. In other words, I actually had no insurance at all.

Great Customer Service
October 2, 2020

Customer service starts with a friendly face and a nice greeting as simple as " Hello" this is what was displayed at store #3968 by Trina, thought she was not the employee who originally assist me. Her customer service stood out everyone that came in the store, she greet with excellent customer service, she was patient with the elderly as well that means the world to me. Trina, you rock Queen. Keep up the good work.

Throwing my package
October 1, 2020

I have not forgotten about UPS throwing my fragile package against the garage door and onto the pavement... damaged my laptop. And, the UPS center in Northbrook, and, their center mgr... zvior did NOT bother to call me back when he promised he would... terrible service... and, not impressive. Whenever there's a choice. I will use someone else.

The worst experience
September 30, 2020

They lost my package, actually they delivered it to the ring person and were not able to get it back from that person.
The case was going on for many months during which I had to contact all the possible departments.
Don't waist your time and never trust UPS. If they loos your package, it's hard to make them work and get it back

Even USPS is better. UPS always delays my packages. I get a text from them with a window from 10am -2:30pm and 80% of the time gets delivered the next day and the rest by 9pm. Simply the worst!

My package is taking so long. It's been 6 days it says it's still in texas! Is the ups in texas worthless? Do they need better workers seems like it seeing as it was basically lost for 3 days out of the 6 days it's been in transit. They even took the package from the BS in Houston and then brought it right back and now they took it out again and they have not updated it scanned it in like two days or three days. I've had no problems with any UPS people many things I have bought on chewy.com and Amazon and walmart.com all of them came in a decent amount of time sometimes faster or slower than the original scheduled time but the latest they ever were was maybe a day or two. I've had UBS from All over America and I got to say the one in Texas is not only the slowest but the most unorganized one of them all I literally have had no UPS in my life lose my package for 3 days straight or take it from the station just to return it later on that day and then take it out again in the next day like a $#*!. I feel bad for anybody that lives in Texas because their ups is the biggest piece of crap in the whole entire United States of America they should be ashamed of themselves this crap is atrocious!

Ridiculous
September 25, 2020

My package was delivered to the wrong address. I was told to file a claim. They "found" my package and canceled my claim. 2 days later delivered it again. Again, not to my address. I call again. We're checking into it she says. I'm told to file another claim and they send me a link for it. It won't accept my claim because one was already written on the first missing package day. I call again. Suddenly, no one has a clue about my claims, they aren't checking into anything and I need to go to Amazon and have them file a claim. Basically, they lost my package and gave me the runaround for 3 days and about an hour and a half on their ridiculous customer service line. Never did get the package and no one ever got back to me. Horrible system and service. Absolutely horrible.

Worst customer service
September 24, 2020

Worst customer service ever, they all keep saying not my department and then switch you to another department and they say the same thing no one can answer a question or if they answer if will the total opposite of what the previous told you. I don't know how they stay in business.

Scheduled a return via Amazon, who informs you that the driver will bring the labels. Home all day, NO attempt to contact me, and instead I find pre-printed labels in the mail room of the building when I check the mail in the evening. Tried to call them to arrange the pickup the next morning, and the automated system tries to charge me. Get through to a representative, who tells me that they only make 1 attempt at pickup, and drivers don't have phones to contact anyone. The call box or knocking on my door for a service I PAID for would seem to be perfectly viable options. Representative stonewalls and tells me there's no way to schedule another attempted pickup without paying. Never again will I choose UPS for shipping anything, and will actively try to find ways around using them.

Not helpful!
September 23, 2020

Customer service, web help, and even the local offices are lousy with any help. When you finally get someone on the phone they just give you another number to call to wait on hold just to be disconnected or told I'll transfer you to someone else.

UPS WILL RUIN YOUR BUSINESS
September 20, 2020

Currently a 5 day shipment is on Day 16. Both the shipper and i have called no reasons given. They refuse to allow me to make a claim. This is the 3rd time. I have used DHL Twice since and have received them already. I am on the line with them now... 47min and no answers... They finally came back to say the package has been destroyed in Dubai! I believe they've stolen it!

This week UPS left my package in the wrong building twice. I have no access to that building and had to wait for someone to let me in so I could grab the package (on two separate occasions). A new months ago they left a huge heavy recliner that I had ordered in the lobby (don't they have hand carts for items like this so they can bring it to your apt door at least?). I had to bring the recliner up piece by piece. Last year, 5 packages of mine were stolen because UPS never leaves packages in front of your apartment (like FEDEX does), but just inside the door of the building. I contacted Amazon and made sure to remove UPS from being a carrier for my packages when I order from them - and they now only send things USPS which I love because USPS will either leave it in the mailbox, or take it to the Post Office (if it doesn't fit) where it is safe until I pick it up. UPS just doesn't care.

Unable to understand ESL customer support rep. Was told repeatedly by her to contact my shipper because UPS does not have my package. However UPS website says my shipment was dropped off at a UPS location 3 days ago and was scheduled to arrive at my house 3 hours ago today. When I told the representative my shipper has already confirmed shipment, she continued to tell me my best course of action is to contact my shipper. Totally reading off a script and did not care that I've already done this. I asked for another phone number or a supervisor and I was denied. I wish this type of performance was acceptable with my employer. UPS drivers are awesome! Offshored customer support representatives are terrible!

I was waiting on a delivery from two different companies. I received an email starting my package was delivered, so I walked to my from door NO packages. I called UPS told them that my packages was not delivered to my house. The Rep stated my packages was delivered, I said, "yes, but not to my home" I been dealing with UPS delivering my packages to the wrong address for 7.5 years. All because certain drives are not paying attention to the street signs and direction from their GPS. Incompetent!
