I came to this location to open a mailbox June 4th 1pm and unfortunately had one of the most…read morefrustrating customer service experiences I've ever had.
The process began with confusion regarding mailbox pricing, fees, and identification requirements. The employee assisting me, Carlos, appeared unsure about the mailbox agreement, the forms of ID that were acceptable, and the fees that applied. The agreement I was given appeared to contain terms and pricing that did not match what I was being told at the counter.
When I requested a copy of the agreement I was signing, I was told I would be charged 40 cents per page for a copy of my own signed agreement. When a copy was eventually made, only the first page was copied. After I requested a complete copy of the agreement, the interaction became increasingly unprofessional.
During the discussion, Carlos became argumentative and called me a "rude ass." I felt verbally abused and harassed by the way I was spoken to. No customer should be insulted or spoken to that way for asking questions about a contract they are being asked to sign.
After that interaction, I requested a refund because I no longer felt comfortable doing business with the store. I was told I would have to wait for management approval. During that time, another employee, Moesis, informed me that only a manager could approve the refund. The process continued to drag on, and what should have been a simple mailbox setup turned into an ordeal lasting approximately an hour, including time spent speaking with corporate customer service.
While attempting to understand why the fees and agreement did not match, I was informed that the mailbox agreement had not been updated. I was told that the store manager, Carol Lee, had not updated the agreement being provided to customers, which may have contributed to the confusion regarding pricing, fees, and terms. I also had to specifically request the return of paperwork containing my personal information.
I ultimately left without opening a mailbox and with serious concerns about the professionalism, training, management, and customer service at this location. Between the confusion over fees, the outdated agreement, the lengthy delay, and being called a "rude ass" by an employee, this experience fell far below what I would expect from a business handling customers' personal information and mailbox services.
I hope UPS Store management reviews the conduct of the employees involved, the accuracy of the agreements being provided to customers, and the overall customer service practices at this location so that future customers do not have a similar experience.
