Holding classes for people that are addicted to there great service and can't stop using them.


I was just curious if UPS are dumbasses in your area the way they are here in ga.

I call to have a package held everytime ups is used--which i use fedex most of the time now--the center tells me that i have to call the 800# and do a same day held.Well that is BS--Let me tell you why--

They hold my packages all the time and i still have to go through there song and dance everytime i have a new package-now it is maybe twice a month.

And when i call the 800#they say they can not hold the package untill it is scanned--even though you can see on the internet what time it arrived in that location--If you wait for the package to be scanned {it is too late then}

Because at that time it is sorted and put on the truck for delievery and then the info is uploaded to ups.

If you ask yourself--why dosnt this guy just let them deliver.

I have had many packages in the past that were suppose to be signed for by me--left on my doorstep--without being signed for-- to be stolen or rained on later.


I don't know how ups operates in your area,but i would like to know.Because here---in MACON,GA they still are on the-- good ol buddy system--

I talk to people that pick there packages up there that are held for them--they did not have a problem--Maybe there son or friend works there..HUH--i wonder if that is in the ups manual for employment.

Fedex--atleast in this area always seems to be much more Professional --and i have never had a claim with fedex.

The last claim i had with ups --i had my attorny call there corp office and it was paid right away.After i was put on hold by them for 2 months.The attorny did this for free-----

I quess this is more of a rant--but i know there have to be other people out there that have had problems with ups --




I do not use ups at all any more ,but they are companies that will only ship using ups.So then i am forced to deal with with them once again.

regards from an X ups user


PS. an update for this morning--i called to have a package held this morning { a modified teac amp from vinnie at red wine audio } just to find out it is on the truck for delivery.What a joke they are.

My local UPS courier has consistent pick up and drop off times each day, but is kinda flakey as to delivery days. There have been one too many times where they just didn't bother delivering because it was raining or something.

Other than that the packages have not been mangled like when I lived in another town.

I've made a lot of e-bay purchases from the U.S. and the only courier I have a problem with is UPS. They've damaged stuff, and they've split single shipments and therefore charged me double for customs/taxes/brokerage fees. But the biggest problem I have with them is their $38 brokerage fee charge. Sometimes the brokerage fees cost more than the taxes. The post office only charges $5 or $7 brokerage fees and Fed-Ex is $22 or $26. I always specifically request shippers do not ship via UPS.
