      On 9/3/2024 I paid for a package to be shipped to my mother's house via 2nd Day Air. I dropped off my package at the nearest UPS drop off location on 9/4. I discovered late on 9/5 that it was not being shipped via Air but via Ground and stopping at multiple places throughout *******, **********, and ******. As a UPS Choice Member, if I would have wanted it shipped 2nd Day Ground it would've only been around $15. I paid for 2nd Day Air for $52.32.UPS's shipping department has passed me over to the ****************** multiple times. The first time on 9/5 when I called to inquire why it was being shipped Ground instead of Air and was told "that is what you paid for, you paid for Ground". Then was told to call back after the package was ***************, 9/19/2024, was the first time I've had a chance to call and deal with being put on hold. I was passed from Shipping to Billing to a computerized menu and supposedly back to Billing. Not one employee can give me a straight answer. Some say I paid for Ground. Some say I paid for Air but since it was delivered regardless off how it went it doesn't matter. Almost $40 does matter!

      UPS Innovation seems to be a business that needs investigating. Specifically the ******, ** location. They have a 1star rating with a lot of complaints about missing packages. I started to investigate when my package went missing and there is no accountability or process to handle this situation- not even a way to report a missing package. UPS handles it as a separate operation and proves zero help.

      On 9/18/24 I received a delivery from ups they didn't deliver the package as I requested something they offer in their service that I requested to deliver to my rear door instead of leave the package on my front porch the driver did what he wanted left the package on my front porch for the porch pirates to get me when I called and complained about it a black woman I had spoken with before that assured me that would not happen again decided to semi scold me that I was over talking her because of the so called options she was giving me that were in my opinion of no help and a means to cover up the drivers bad service in not honoring my delivery request this woman told me it is up to the drivers on how they'll do there deliveries even if I was allowed to put in this preference on the app also if it does get stolen even if I put in a claim it most likely won't be honored so I would be fighting a losing battle thanks ups.

      Complaint: 22306979

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I have no plan on accepting any apologies or excuses for outright unaccountable behavior about what happened to me when I initially talked with management I recognized the woman's voice I spoke with I had spoken to her before about having put in my delivery preferences on the ups app and how the driver blatantly disregarded my wishes and left my package on the front porch of my home where it could be seen and stolen she back then assured me this would not happen again she would make sure any and all packages from now on coming to my address would be delivered as the way I requested now here I am calling again about the same thing but this time I get the combative version of this woman now I'm being checked about calling and complaining I'm told the solution or a solution is to put a note on my property stating how I want them to leave the package I guess she didn't think a theif might read this and even if I do this she informed me it is up to the driver on what they want to do as far as delivery so basically my preference on the app means 0 also when in frustration I mentioned I'd just put in a claim this woman told me that I wouldn't be compensated  why you might ask because as long as the driver proves they delivered it I don't get a refund I was accused of trying to over talk her no I wasn't trying to be in agreement with her so called solution to my issue which she had no solution except the one of unaccountability for ups and the driver next day I call the corporate office he understands my concern about an 1hr. Later I get a polite call with an underlying tone of we might argue if I don't accept him laying the same c*** on me as ms. ********* the day before he even gave me a number to contact him about any packages I might have coming in but there's still no guarantee because it's up to the drivers and if they show they delivered it I'm screwed about compensation of my package UPS can keep their lame apologies with no ****** from now on if I loose money I'll let a lawyer do my talking bbb ********* ****** consumer etc.this is a three ring circus in the black community bad service bad management and no accountability just like bad police.

      I am a shipper UPS account ******. I shipped a UPS COD package on 8/1, delivered on 8/2, tracking: 1z7892057274718378. UPS collected $1,178 on my behalf. Until today 9/18, UPS has not forwarded the payment to me. I contacted both UPS Preferred and ********************* on 8/20 and have been in contact with UPS Preferred, but still no resolution, case # C-0260677136 - [EXTERNAL] COD not paid [ ref:!00DF005wsA.!500KV02p6MRD:ref ]. Both UPS Preferred and UPS COD Direct has confirmed that payment has not been entered/forwarded/paid to the shipper, still UPS are not paying reason being too many COD not paid cases. This is the email from UPS Preferred : This email is the follow up I have promised regarding your concern. We apologize for any inconvenience. As our finance department stated, there were 600 COD cases waiting to be resolved for those missing payments that needed to be replaced. Due to that, they are currently shortstaffed and have pending cases. Until now, it is still in progress and waiting for resolution.Your patience is highly appreciated.

      I purchased an item from *********. The package was sent from Coach fullfillment warehouse and was shipped through UPS carrier on September 9th. Ive received multiple updates on my shipment until the package arrived at the UPS Cach shipping facility located in ********, ** on September 12, 2024. This was the last known delivery stop. I contacted UPS to file a claim since my package was to be delivered on 9/16. Ive reached out several times to find out what happened to my very expensive item. Ive been given the run around and no one can give me a definitive answer on the status of my claims. *** even called this shipping facility and they keep directing me to the UPS customer care support. After doing my own research I found there has been multiple customer complaints and reviews regarding thief at this facility. Packages of high value never make it past this UPS shipping location and the shipment is considered lost. Ive tried to ask UPS to investigate this facility locations but Im directed to file a claim. There has been no viable responses to my complaints.
