I cannot stand UPS anymore. I have always heard the horror stories about them destroying boxes and missing shipments, but I've never really had a problem with them. That is, until the last few months. They seem to just do whatever they want as soon as you release the package. Overnight? Oh that's nice... we'll get it there in a week. Second day air? Eh, we might get it there in two days "UPS time".

The first one they messed up for me was back in December. I had time sensitive, critical legal documents (only 5 pages in a UPS envelope) that I paid $35(!!!!!) for overnight saturday delivery to be there by monday. Well guess UPS didn't feel like it was important enough for them... they waited until the following WEDNESDAY to get it there. Their excuse? Nothing. "Sorry, our bad, want a refund?". Then there was a package in January that I don't even remember the story, I just remember it was late. And now today, I just bought something off AT FS/T yesterday. I couldn't wait to get it, so again I paid three times the normal cost to get the package overnighted. It should be here TODAY. Will it? Look for yourself. Of course not! Let's see... overnight, sent on the 9th is....... the 11th in UPS time! But of course! Again. Their excuse? Nothing. "Bummer dude, call us when you get the package and request a refund." They're extremely non-chalant about it too. Bet it happens .A LOT. I've also got a second day air package from somewhere completely different, sent on the 8th, which means it too should be here today. They've managed to screw this one up too!!!!! I'm betting anything I won't see it today either.

Anyone else have any problems like this? From now on, I know I'm sticking with FedEx.

Yeah, they suck. Banker's hours too--nothing moves on weekends or holidays--they don't cound for "days".
Doesn't help that UPS management treats everyone like sh*t; that just trickles down to bad attitude and the employees take it out on the product.

Well, it's to be expected. They'll tell you weekends and holidays don't count for second day and overnight shipping right up front. That's fine. However, all the packages I've sent that have been messed up didn't make it there over straight business days either.

UPS sucks, FedEx sucks, USPS sucks...they all do at some point in time for someone. Lately we've been having big issues with FedEx.....almost like all the package handlers for UPS have transferred to FedEx.

Almost without exception the FedEx packages we've been receiving the last couple of months look like gorillas have been using them for seating. UPS, on the other hand, have lately been delivering pristine packages. Seems to run in spurts..........go figure.

Maybe my math is screwed up, but it seems to me that if you ship on the 9th and receive on the 10th, thats overnight delivery. Check out your link labelled "Look for yourself." Its shipped on the 9th, out for delivery on the 10th. Thats overnight delivery, delivered before 10 am the next day. Seems like they have done a good job there. Am I missing something????

I stand corrected. The first package in question did just show up. However, when I posted this message, the "Scheduled delivery date" said the 11th. So score one for them I guess. The jury is still out on the other package, but regardless, it's happened many OTHER times before. When I saw it this morning, I figured "oh boy, here we go again."
