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.

UPS just Sucks Overall. I'm sure everyone would give them a Negative Rating if possible. With their unearned 1 star reviews. The reason of the title above is that I'm one of the "Unfortunate Customers" that did not receive their package that was supposed to be delivered between 1pm & 5pm. Then got switched to 9pm. After 9:30pm and no package, got an update it will be delivered the next business day between 1pm & 5pm which will probably be moved to 9pm again. Looking at the follow my package map, the driver was less than 5 miles away from my home. But it showed the driver backtracking to places they been. WTH?!? UPS has gone waaaaay downhill. The last package delivered last week was soaked, forged my signature and dropped by the end of my driveway...

Absolutely Horrible
July 13, 2020

This is my first time ever really dealing with UPS and I can full heatedly say that I would rate them -5 stars if it were possible. The customer service is horrible, they have delayed my package three times already (when the tracking map even shows it in my neighborhood) and it still hasn't gotten here yet, their tracking page has been malfunctioning for the last few days, and this afternoon the tracking map stopped working. I wish Amazon had given me a choice of who I shipped with. I hope UPS gets taken off Amazon's shipper list.

I paid to have a package re-delivered during a specific time frame. That time came and went. When I called UPS they say they can't guarantee a time frame or issue a refund. Terrible customer service told me they were transferring me to billing and put me back into the same que. Never pay extra for a specific time of day delivery. They will give you a canned answer and delivery time frame. HORRIBLE SERVICE

Awful service
July 12, 2020

Packages took forever to arrive to their destination and tracking information was not available in their site. Last time I ever use UPS. Highly recommend NOT to use then.

Terrible service
July 11, 2020

The tracker is so inaccurate and tells you nothing. For you to get the actual package it takes almost two weeks. You are not guaranteed an actual delivery date, even if expedited. Honestly one of the worst services. I'll stick to amazon.

Delivery driver delivered my patio set, that cost over 300, to my neighbors. We dont get along with that neighbor. Ups refused to go get my patio set, because the driver said he delivered it to the right address. We have security cameras. We sent the video to Amazon and ups. Then we ordered a ladder. Twice and twice they lied about why it was returned. We are suing ups. We have proof they did not come to our house and phone records showing that we did not call, until after the both ladders were returned. Literally, UPS does not care about customers and now i wonder if ups employees are steeling packages, that i never received in the past. The even refused to help. When Amazon did a 3 way call with them.

BAN UPS
July 10, 2020

I'm done. I've been buying and selling online for decades now and again and and again and again UPS is a fail. In every regard they fall grossly short of their whole mission. Customer service is an absolute joke. The post office or even dmv has far better. Packages are routinely lost, delayed, or simply held up somewhere without explanation. Tracking is almost useless and highly inconsistent. Now we have this UPS INNOVATIONS nonsense. Don't even get me started. Beyond a joke. Zero accountability form this company. I will be going out of my way to never purchase another item shipped by UPS again. I'm done.

Shipper

UPS is absolutely horrible, if I can give no stars I definitely would. They don't tell you major information when you send packages internationally. They charge you for customs even if it is a gift for someone across the border. They also harass the receiver to pay customs even when the customs was already paid for (never seen a company so greedy). So much for surprising family with little gifts.

Hidden fees.
July 9, 2020

So I bought some things from the USA and once my package arrived I was supper happy with my purchases and got a phone call from UPS saying that I owed 29 dollars so I gave the guy my information on the phone and he said my next package would arrive tomorrow which it did but then two weeks later I received a letter in the mail stating that I owed them money when I ALREADY had my packages. So I messaged the company trying to find out how I could pay them online since I feel like it's more safe if you do it right on the site and they informed me that they don't take payments on the site but I would have to call and pay by credit card and not debit. WELL! I paid for my items by debit and don't have a credit card so I don't know how they expect me to pay for my items. And I am not old enough to write out checks. So I decided I wouldn't pay there fee.

Then another few month pass and I get another letter in the mail. So I try to call again with my mother's card. And I could hear yelling in the background now tell me that this isn't a scam.

Customer service sucks. And so does the company never using it again.

I understand that COVID-19 is having a negative effect on deliveries being late but it shouldn't be an excuse for tracking issues, UPS not knowing where the packages are. UPS picked up my packages from the provider a month ago and delivered them to a sorting centre to be sorted and delivered. UPS has no info on the tracking numbers and the virtual assistant is saying they were never picked up and to contact the shipper. Well duh, I did that first! Shipper says UPS picked it up one day after it was shipped. Total lack of acceptance by UPS that they screwed up! Future orders will not be made if it's UPS delivering.

The driver showed up without the package on the truck and customer service couldn't even contact the driver to address the issue. Every time a package is shipped to me through them there are issues. How are they still in operation?

Terrible
July 7, 2020

Horrible people to talk too. Said it was Telus that was the problem when it was on their side of the fence. Not impressed at all. Won't even leave my dam package at my door. Said they tried twice with no notification on the door. Let alone nothing showing on my camera system to say they were actually at my house, as it tells me right on my phone when someone is in my yard let alone at my door. Poor service. Wish Telus would switch to an actual good delivery company. Ups! Is the worst. Three hours on the phone just to call Telus and have to call ups back. Will not recommend using them.

My delivery should have been delivered but the driver keeps lying saying he attempted to bring my package but no one was there. LIES LIES LIES! My package was being delivered to a business that was very well open when they claimed they attempted the delivery. Stop being lazy and do your job!

UPS IS CRAP!
July 6, 2020

UPS is crap! I do not know how to express more my frustration, just a few days they lost a package, they marked as delivered, I had to file a claim and have the sender ship me another item. Today I have been waiting the entire day for a package that was scheduled for delivery and it never showed up, now they change the delivery for tomorrow. Am I supposed to spent another day waiting for a package that might not show up? I hope they go down, there is not consumer protection anymore, $#*! franchise company.

My package was not delivered for 2 weeks straight after arriving at local depot. Called and was told a different story by each representative. Tracking website has missing or inaccurate info. Customer service lies, placates and distracts. Was told numerous times that a supervisor would call me in an hour, never happened. Worst company ever, should have gone out of business long ago.

My package kept on going back-and-forth to Canada and US and I don't know when its going to show up I Spent the whole day at home waiting because I was told it was going to come today and it didn't I called them to find out and got told they don't know when it's going to come after I paid an additional $45 on top of the $30 Shipping fee
Going forward I will never use UPS ever again if that is the only carrier the website offers I don't shop with them

Absolutely terrible customer service. Many lost packages. Refuse to take responsibility. Loosing customers because UPS can't do their jobs properly and nobody wants to deal with rude unhelpful customer service. Zero stars if only that was an option. I hate leaving bad reviews but this one is well deserved.
