UPS delivery rule

44 comments

Imagine thinking that a delivery service where each van has thousands of packages is going to cater to each and every recipient 🤣 👌
- And probably drives on the most efficient route for their run.
  You're about halfway along the run? They'll always pass you about halfway through the day.

  Not if orion and management have anything to say about it lmfao
- Bruh I work for a postal service and you should read the complaints.
  Knocked too loud, knocked too soft, used the doorbell and it scared me, put my parcel in my mailbox instead of bringing it to the door, delivered my parcel when I was working from home, delivered the parcel to my husband and it was his birthday present, when the postman delivers my parcels my dog barks, I ordered size 12 pants and you delivered size 14...
  Anyone who thinks parcel people are stupid... our staff are no dumber than your average customer.
  
  Did you take the complaints to heart and do better? /s
- I don't need personalized service, I'd just like them to actually show up when they claim they tried to deliver.
- More like 300/van but I get your point.

I am happy we have these guys here around every corner:
- Love these things. But I get annoyed when I get the message: "Die Sendung konnte leider nicht in die gewünschte Packstation eingestellt werden und ist in der Regel am nächsten Werktag in der Filiale am anderen Ende der Stadt abholbereit (bitte Öffnungszeiten beachten)."
  
  I'd be annoyed, too, because my German isn't that great
- We have one of these in my building, except it's shipper-agnostic -- amzn, ups, FedEx; even purcolator if they can find a 30-storey building rising the highest above this sea of wwi bungalows today (50-50). It's called a blue box.
  It's so much better than amzn just ditching packages right inside the front door so anyone sneaking in behind a resident can quickly steal it. It was bad at our old place.
- We have those but for the public delivery service... And post offices all over the place as well instead of one office of each of the private alternatives for a city that's 45km long... I wish people would just use Canada Post and let the private sector die.

But I am home at 1pm, and they still didn't actually deliver the package!
- It was a test. Tomorrow will be 8:59 am.

They seriously need better options. Drop it off because I'm not at home. Put it at a depot for me to pick up because I'm not at home. They keep saying they don't have time to deliver everyone's packages, but then force themselves to try 3 times before putting it at a depot for me to pick up. But please for the love of God don't make the depot business hours only.
- They want you to sign up for their payed premium preferred delivery options, which includes sending it straight to their depot.
  
  It would save them money if they didn't try to deliver it 3 times. Which also means they have the time to deliver to people instead of "just missed you".
  
  Then stop telling me that because the previous owner never closed their ups account that I can’t make one.

UPS has a service called My Choice where you can have the package redirected to a UPS store or you can sign for the package and have it left at your door. Though I think the latter is dependent on the service that the shipper chose.
For a fee you can have it delivered to a different address.
I've used it a handful of times.
- When I ordered a watch band that for some ungodly reason required a signature they would accept anything. Wouldn’t take it anywhere else. Wouldn’t accept the signature on the back of the “sorry we missed you” paper. Wouldn’t let me change anything online. They came 3 days in a row (Wed-Fri) before informing me they were returning it to sender. Luckily they tried again on Saturday and we were home.

I've done driver helper'ing at ups before, and some of the drivers really do go above and beyond and alter their routes for stuff like this. They aren't required to and it takes a lot of knowledge to remember all thousand stops, but it does happen.

At least you get an accurate delivery time you can plan around. Not just between 8am and 12pm or 1pm and 7pm
- "By end of day"

It’s not UpS fault you’re ordering dildos and boxed wine that requires signatures. Go to the fucking store you lazy fucks
/s
- You aren't seriously suggesting taking a shower, changing into clean clothes, and interacting with strangers in a public space, are you? Because that'd be ludicrous.

You prefer 1AM post deliveries?

Every delivery company anywhere ever

lol @ "try"

I work graveyard shift and tend not to be home in the evenings. Ups likes to bring my stuff about an hour after I leave

Every fucking time.

Rename it to OOPS.
