I worked for UPS for 13 years and they dont care about your package all they want is your money, no matter what they say!

[BBIGG BLOCK 396]

I am not going to get into a pi%^&*( contest with you on UPS and there practices.I was there happily for over 22 years and I have a very different view of them than you do.You are entitled to your opinion and me I am entitled to mine.I do strongly disagree with you on your statement.I never seen that they did not care about peoples merchandise! Quite the opposite.Damages and late parcels cost the company Tons of $$$$$$$ annually !!so therefore they strive for excellence.Most of us know it is almost impossible to reach 100% and stay there but at least they have a goal to do so.UPS spends millions in its Facility designs and conveyor designs to prevent Damages and keep there employees safe!They are a very successful company! If not the STOCK WOULD SHOW IT.Believe me the stock is OK in my opinion! Has been great to me.

Its not a pissing contest, you think they are great, and I think they suck! I sold all my stock and dumped it into Lowes and have tripled my money in 1/4 the time it would have taken to make those kind of gains with UPS stock! When you put your tracking number(s) in their website for tracking it shows you the location your package should be not an actual scan of the bar code since the trailer is scanned as a inbound bulk load. I was in management with UPS and I can tell you for certain that customer service is about 4th on their list of priorities, and I only use Fed-Ex for my shipping needs now, and have never had a lost or damaged package! Give Fed-Ex and DHL 10 years and UPS will not be the #1 package company! Here is how their priorities are stacked!

1. Take your money
2. make the numbers
3. get yearly bonus at all costs
4. harass/fire good hard working employees
5. customer service


Don't be lied to about UPS and their agenda, they promise the world and don't deliver s**t, give us your money, to h**l with your package and f**k you, thats the UPS attitude! For you guys that have a claim with UPS here is how to get your money back out of them, don't ever make the amount even, like $185 or $300, give a amount like 372.28 and they will pay it almost everytime with your documentation of course, they kick out the even amounts almost automatically!

Not DHL they will be lucky if they around in the next two years
I worked for DHL for 18 years boy what a sewed up company
Do NOT EVER USE DHL it will get lost or damaged 85 % of the time, trust me I know
And now that airborne took them over and one of the major owners is the bin laden
Group Yea I know you did not know this .This has not been a made known fact DHL does not want it to be known
UPS is a real bad run company I know a lot a bout them to UPS is listed as #1 worst company to work for I should write a book of all the things I have seen at the airport
It would blow your mind
Form what I have seen the best believe it or not would be greyhound or there are a lot of good trucking companies out there and it will be a lot cheaper
Fed x was not bad but are now going the way of ups Why UPS fires it’s supervisor’s ever few years just to bust them Then they end up at fed x or DHL with that same goofy UPS mined frame And it getting worse every day I am so glad to be out of that type of business today

[Mr70]

The package has not been found as of yet,but I have received more avenues to pursue.I hope this coming week produces some results.
I appreciate everybodys advice,ideas & input so far.
This object means alot to me & I'm not giving up!

[JTH74]

Make sure next time to ship every package with a separate label, I know its more expense but each piece will have its own tracking number, and it could be a little easier to locate. I couldn't be more blessed than to not work for them anymore, I couldn't treat people the way that UPS wanted and forced me to treat them.

Norm,
It's funny you should mention Greyhound. What an unknown great safe way to get things, especially heavy things! I had a T-10 4-spd shipped to me from Nebraska in the belly of a bus. $38. and no mis-handling. No UPS apes playing games and making bets to see who can break the ones marked Fragle!
Only slight disadvantage is that you have to drive to the bus terminal to pick it up. Big deal.
It gets put in there with people's luggage and doesn't get stacked or dropped off conveyers. And it doesn't go through 2 airplanes, 4 trucks and some "hub" 1000mi away before you get it. Much less handling.

I had found and purchased a pad for my 68 console 8-trk player after a exhausting search........Well you guessed it,the brown truck lost it....I didn't give a hoot about the money,yes it was expensive,just wanted my pad..They claimed it went to the lost hub....NEVER to be seen or heard from again.... "My advice to you..start drinking..heavily."

UPS is on my $hit list right now. I have had two costly items damaged in the last month+. The first item is one of the original dealer plate frames that came with our new Nova and the second item was a "CL" wheel also for the Nova. The plate frame has a 3-4 inch piece broken off the remaining frame and the CL wheel (date coded for Jan/72) must have been dropped from six feet or higher. I have tried everything in my power to get UPS to cooperate with me and they have failed on every possible account. I also find it interesting that UPS does not record information into a computer. With changing technologies today, major firms like UPS are a part of the New Economy based on new advances in media technology (i.e. computers and electronic databases). I find it near impossible to believe that UPS is so far behind in an age like this. Every time I have called UPS I get to speak to another manager of the claims dept. I think I have spoken to near ten managers. Time for some reorganizing UPS. What a waste…
