First, I don't normally write reviews, but my experience at The UPS Store 3941 on Louisiana Street…read morein midtown Houston Tx was so disappointing that I felt it deserved one! I came in to return a warranty item and emailed the store the documents I needed printed. The email had multiple attachments, but I only needed 2 pages, the return label and the UN label. The employee initially helping me, Bell, said she hadn't received my email yet, so I waited. While I was waiting, she began helping other customers.
After those customers left, I was left standing there for several more minutes without anyone checking back with me. Eventually I asked another male employee who was standing at the front, if my email had arrived. He confirmed that it had and I told him that I only needed the two documents printed. A few minutes later, Bell returned with all 13 pages printed and told me I would have to pay for every page. I explained, I had already told the male employee that I only needed two pages. Since Bell had walked away and never came back to continue helping me, I reasonably believed the other male employee had taken over my transaction. At no point did anyone ask me if I wanted all of the attachments printed. What bothered me most wasn't the cost of the extra pages, it was the dismissive customer service. When I politely asked if an exception could be made because of the lack of communication, I was simply told no and Bell walked away. When I asked Bell for her name, she ignored me and walked to the back. I then asked two other employees at the front for her name and neither would provide it. The lady with the tattoos on her arms just shrugged her shoulders and the male employee said "it's my first day". It wasn't until another employee came from the back that someone finally gave me her name. Ironically, he was the only person who showed genuine professionalism during the entire interaction. I ended up paying for the pages because I had already spent the time waiting, but I left feeling dismissed, ignored, and frustrated. I was never rude or argumentative. I simply expected basic communication and courtesy. I hope management reviews the security footage of this interaction because this experience fell far below the level of customer service I expect from a UPS store. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning to this location.
