Ups

When will this company die?

Yesterday, they attempted to deliver a package to me. They didn't leave it with a neighbor, or with the apartment manager, because it required a signature (that fact is important. If you forget it, then nothing else will appear stupid) (okay, some of it will).

They told me they'd return today to deliver the package. Sometime between 2 PM and 7 PM. So I take off of work, come home to be here so I can sign for this damn thing.

At ten after seven, I logged onto UPS.com to see what the status was. It turned out that it had been delivered TO SOME PLACE OTHER THAN MY APARTMENT!

I calmed down enough to call their 800 numbers. Both have a female voice giving you options, none of which are "talk to a real live human being". So finally, I triggered the right combination of words (I think it was "Fuck you you fucking bitch, I want to talk to a real fucking person"), and get connected to a real live person. She can't tell me where the package was delivered, but if I call back in a couple of hours, they'll be able to tell me.

So, you know what I found out? Finally? They delivered my package to the apartment manager's office. Without first trying me. And without telling me.

The really funny part of all of this? The company that shipped it was supposed to ship it via the post office (because UPS keeps screwing up my shipments). They didn't, and now I'm suffering.

I'm glad your viagra arrived safely.

Except, the c1a1s is STILL in the manager's ofice, because they couldn't tell me where they delivered the package until almost 10 PM.

To quote an irritating commercial..... Why don't you just use FedEx?

Arik · 12-08-2005, 11:44 PM

I perfer FedEx. They've never let me down before!

They can't possibly be worse than Canada Post. They have a delivery service similar to UPS that requires a signature. If you're not home, they're supposed to leave a hanger on your door that tells you there's a package at the post office for you. You take the hanger and go pick up your parcel. When I first ordered from Columbia House, the delivery guy showed up at my house when I wasn't home. He left the boxk of DVD's sitting on the front porch. Not concealed in any way, nowhere near my mailbox, just out in plain view a few feet away from the sidewalk.

I tell them to go 'round the back of the house and leave it in the porch. Good thing about living where I do is that when a house gets broken into, it's because the owner locked himself out. Nobody's ever been in my back garden uninivited.

Nobody who lived to tell about it anyway.

Yes, it's costing me a fortune in shovels.

Ever considered using the same shovel twice?
