Poll: WHY UPS SUCKS

[PsychoAndy]

Ok, anoter rant: <p>
Went to UPS today to ship a hard drive. Used my shiping account and sent it Next Day air. There is only ONE register at the UPS shipping counter. My timing stinks, why? 5 people ahead of me. Man steps in, gets behind me. Ok, long line, no problem, leave, go to the store, buy groceries. Go back to UPS later. Go back to UPS. Man that was once behind me, is right in front of me. <p> Total elapsed time spent in line at UPS. 15 min. <p> People shipping 25 cases of motorcycle parts all over the US is at the counter. UPS man has to OPEN all their boxes, pack them better, relabel them, because they're idiots, and finally finishes. Total Elapsed time: 45 min. <p> Still 4 people in front of me. Next person has same idiotic problem, dosen't know how to pack. UPS man repacks. Total elapsed time: 50 min. <p> Next person has no problems. I get to the counter. UPS man switches with UPS woman. Total elapsed time: 1 hour in line at UPS. <p>

HERE IS THE KICKER: Woman looks at package. UPS woman: &quot;This is already prepaid. You didnt have to wait in line.&quot; Me: &quot;WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME EARLIER?&quot;

apparently you have no tolerance for anything and the fact that you didnt have to wait in line was your own fault. people ship things. period. some places have an overabundance of staff, others do not. deal with it.

ouch!
perfect answer for a pissed off customer!

lol!

No offense, but that is why prepaid accounts are sweet. Same thing with the post office. If you correct postage on a large item, all you have to do is hand it to the cashiers, without taking the eternal numbers.

Fedex... same thing. Any time I have a shipping account for something, I walk right up and say can I leave it... they'll look at it quick, and say &quot;YUP&quot;. End of story. Bye Bye.

Well... at least you know for further reference.

I think UPS sucks because I recently ordered something 2nd-day air, and, because I live in an apartment, they apparently can't leave the package if you are not there (they told me it's against company policy). So, I spent the extra money for 2nd-day air shipping and had to go to UPS pick-up to get my package (I'm not at home during the day). I've never had a problem with FedEx or the USPS.

Well... You have to give the poor UPS guy credit for having patience to help an obvious idiot... that guy should have a regular account with on-call pickup and have a driver come to his house if he has that much stuff.

Plus he was trying to help people keep their stuff from getting broken, that sounds pretty cool of him too..

I sure as hell don't want UPS or FedEx leaving a package on my doorstep for any asshole to grab... I'm glad it's against their policy to do so, because it protects me.

Why UPS Sucks:

get something shipped from the US to Canada... they charge you the following.

-15% tax on the value written on the package
-a set price based on the value ($6 to $50)
-$22 &quot;import fees&quot;

Even if you had something shipped in worth $2, they would charge you 22 f*cking dollars.

And strangely enough, if you use USPS there are NO charges.

Translation: UPS is a total motherf**king ripoff!!! :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|

kami <--- extremely bitter about UPS at the moment

Anybody found that the UPS packages you receive tend to be more smashed than those from other shipping companies?

yep, and as a matter of fact, i know there is a member on these boards who is one of the assholes responsible. he even mentioned how the job is so boring that the only fun thing to do is to purposely beat up the packages marked &quot;fragile&quot; :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|
