I f'ing hate UPS.. My wife knows this..everytime I see a UPS store, truck, delivery person, commercial, article mentioning them, etc...I can't help but automatically mutter "F***ing UPS"... I don't see how they can be so callous and irresponsible.
Story 1: I order golf clubs online for my wife. I have them EXPRESS ship it to my mom's restaurant because someone is ALWAYS there during business hours and I didn't think my work's Material Mgmt wouldn't look kindly on me shipping a set of golf clubs to work. So I keep checking online with the tracking to see when they swing by so I can get it out of the way and midafternoon around 3:30 the tracker tells me missed delivery. I was like WTF? I go down to the restaurant which is across the street from my office and my mom was like, "Yeah I saw the truck parked across the street." I asked if the guy came over or left that cursed little yellow tag for redelivery and she was like, "no..he was just sitting there for like 10 minutes then drove off" Now I'm mad.

WTF? If I pay you to deliver something, you better get your brown short wearing ***** out of your brown truck and walk over and knock on my door before typing in your brown tablet no one is there. I call the customer service number and they look it up and say the driver "made an attempt" and will have to be rescheduled tomorrow and I tell them BULL*****! My mom watched your driver out her window and never once did he walk his ***** over to "make an attempt at delivery". CS was like well we can have him bring it back tomorrow. This being Friday it defeated the whole purpose since we were going on an outing for the weekend. So it won't be until Monday for redelivery. Reluctantly I agree since my plans are already blown. Monday rolls around and back to the tracker. And midafternoon.."Mom, you see the UPS guy?" Mom goes nooooo... Now I'm livid.

I have a screamfest over the phone with CS and THEN they offer that I can drive down to the Hub and pick it up later today. I was like what?!??! I pay you to deliver my package and I have to GO GET IT? So CS goes..
orrr..we can redeliver it on Tuesday. Keep in mind after 3 missed deliveries, they return the package BACK to the sender. I sure as hell was not gonna let that happen. What time I asked and they say the truck should be back by 4:30pm. I get there at 5. The Hub counterperson tells me this driver won't be back until 9:30. WTF kinda business are you running!?! I throw a fit and ask for their supervisor and she tells me there's nothing she can do but wait herself. I come back at 9:30. The MFer doesn't roll in until almost 10 (he better not be getting OT for this inept job performance). I grab my package and cheery b.i. MFer goes
someone sure is cranky at which I let loose a string of profanity that leaves him speechless as I storm out. I followed that with a "nice" letter to Corporate.
Story 2:
I order some nice Corcoran Jumpboots for a couple of weekends from now more than enough time for ground delivery. The company doesn't process the order until the Friday before the weekend I need them even though they already took my money a week prior. Tracking tells me it was received at the Hub on Thursday morning around 3am for sorting. Friday morning it gets put on a truck for delivery. Okay..this time I ship it to work..they get their deliveries at 9:30am. More than enough time should anything go wrong. And sure enough, wrong it did go. I go down to Mat.Mgmt at 11..uhhh..no package for you.

In my head goes are you f'ing kidding me...again!!??! I call CS again. Where's my package?
It's on a truck for delivery. Well the delivery should've already been here.
Let me look into this some more. Oh..it's on another truck. In San Leandro. Huh? My shipping address is in Oakland. Are they going to deliver it today?
No, it has to come back to the Hub to get rerouted. (That means no boots for me until Monday) Why is it on the wrong truck? Why can't that driver just drop it off where it's supposed to go?
The driver has a predetermined route sir. I can only reroute the delivery for the next day. Well I don't want you to
reroute the delivery. I just want you to make the
initial delivery!
I can offer you the option of picking it up at the Hub tonight when the driver returns. (Oh no she didn't...) What is the Hub's local number...I need a supervisor? I call the Hub and have 3 more calls back and forth about where my pacakage is and finally another "supervisor" goes to get it out of the wrong truck to bring it back to the Hub. I still have to go pick it up myself after work so I can make it up to the Sierras Friday night. And on the label, clear as day in big ***** 36pt font, states delivery address is OAKLAND.
Like I said. I F'ing hate
U Piece of
Sh!t. I don't think it was the kid USPSPro..UPS blows...
