Another reason why South Africa should annex Swaziland and Lesotho.

I suspect that "So Charles G's packages don't get mis-routed" may not be compelling enough to get that done without a few other reasons.

"Avoid UPS at all opportunities" (Was: Re: I cnnot believe this is happening)

fiogf49gjkf0d


Avoid UPS at all opportunities.
So let me get this straight.

Because UPS is planning on delivering something within the time frame of the delivery product purchased, they should be avoided?

Because UPS has not (yet) lost your package, they should be avoided?

Because UPS does not run their business exactly the way you think they should (though they are not violating any agreements, and you will presumably get the package on-time, as promised), they should be avoided?

Because you think you know exactly what happened here, and have their whole problem figured out in your head, they should be avoided?

at all opportunities.
Let me get this straight.

You're saying that even if it will cost you more money to ship something with a different carrier, then because UPS is delivering something on time, you should pay more for the other carrier?

You're saying that even if it will take longer to ship something with a different carrier, then because UPS is delivering something on time, you should use the other carrier and wait longer for your package to arrive?

I am yet to receive an answer to the original question....of the package arrived at the local hub Fri night, why wasn't it put on a truck for delivery next business day?
You did receive an answer. From UPS. And there was nothing wrong with it. I'm sure it happens all the time.

Doing so is wasteful at minimum......
So what? It's not your money they are wasting. So why should they be avoided?

Yet I have no signs that the package is anywhere but lost. uPS claims otherwise.
WTF? Why would you even think it could possibly be lost?!!?!?

And they swear it isn't lost and will be delivered "on time", whatever that means. :-)
WTF? You're telling me you have no idea what on-time means? Have you never tracked a package before????????

This is my holiday baking crap. Every consumer of the future cookies and cakes will tell you how important that package is. Trust me.
If it was that important to receive it as quickly as possible, then you should have ordered faster shipping. And if no faster option was offered, then you shouldn't have bought it. But to fault UPS for not delivering something faster than they agreed to is ridiculous.

Well, I must say in general I think FedEx is much better.

Today UPS left us a package, and also at the same time left a note saying that because they couldn't deliver the package, they would redeliver tomorrow. The package was cat medicine that needs to be refrigerated. I saw the note before I saw the package.

You can rightly point out that everything was fine - UPS delivered as promised. However, they were still annoying.

I would be annoyed if I tracked a shipment as having arrived at my local hub, and then the tracking goes crazy and it just disappears. I would also be annoyed if UPS were to use the full time available under its promise even though I knew the package was just an hour away long before.

One can be annoyed with a transaction even if it follows all the rules.

The tracking didn't go crazy. The package didn't disappear.

I would also be annoyed if UPS were to use the full time available under its promise even though I knew the package was just an hour away long before.
But would you still be annoyed if you looked at the "estimated delivery date" or whatever it's called and it was more than 1 day away, meaning UPS had no intention on delivering it to you as quickly as possible?

One can be annoyed with a transaction even if it follows all the rules.
But in this case there's no reason to be annoyed. She knew it could take a while to arrive. And UPS provides an expected arrival date once it's in the system. So she should have never gotten her hopes up that because it was coming from nearby, it would arrive much quicker than normal. And she's not just annoyed, she making multiple claims of UPS wrongdoing and she's telling others not to use them.

If bingbong's account of the telephone conversation is correct, then UPS seems to be contradicting itself. They make available to the public Ground time-in-transit maps. This is what you get if you enter a Plattsburgh ZIP code:



The disclaimer that it's a "general representation" is much weaker than "the shipping class required 5–7 business days for delivery." I would be annoyed if the method of shipment was UPS Ground and the customer service rep said what bingbong claims she said.

Agreed. Assuming bingbong's account of the telephone conversation is correct, this map does make the CSR's statement seem suspect.

I prefer UPS over Fedex. I had the same experience with Fedex that was similar to what another poster had with UPS - nonexistant notices, not even bothering to try when I left a note to leave it at my door, etc. Ended up having to wait on line to pick up the item at a hub in the middle of nowhere (on the plus side, it was next to the branch to LIC). I vowed never to have anything shipped by Fedex if I can avoid it.

If your story is true, the how hard could it be to simply post a LINK to the Amazon.com product webpage?

As I have been made aware, the 5-7 days thing is possibly of concern. Help yourself out by showing us the product webpage. Otherwise I'll just assume your story is not true, as my own casual investigation has revealed some inconsistencies, not tormenting your historical record of being just plain wrong.

But in the thanksgiving spirit of gluttony and football and shopping, I want to believe that this time you may actually have a real complaint.

Of course not. Because if it did, surely she would have updated the thread. Surely. Heck, she could have posted the tracking number and the Amazon product webpage to allow us to decide for ourselves who was in the wrong. But she didn't. Not hard to imagine why.
