I'm sure these are hectic times for delivery companies,however maybe some of UPS employees should have taken that under consideration when applying for their job. This is my personal experience with the UPS located in Shreveport, Louisiana (318)424-3100. This conversation happened this evening around 6:30.
Nearly 2 weeks ago, I had packages (2) delivered to my home. I was expecting 3 but only 2 came. Being that I've done business with the sender for over 4 years and this has never happened, I phoned them ad they informed me that ALL 3 packages were sent out together as usual. I was given a tracking number and we both looked up the package and it stated it was somewhere upstate... like Oregon or something and that it will be delivered on today Tue. Feb 24 by the end of day.
Not knowing why or how my package ended up there, I thought it was a mistake and they (UPS)caught it and will be sending it back to me. Keep in mind, I run a business and I'm expecting packages for my customers.
So today, Tue. Feb.24 by the close of day, I hadn't received my package and I phoned the local UPS.
I calmly explained the situation to the lady I spoke with (Monica Henry) I doubt thats her real name since she herself wouldn't give it me when I repeatedly asked. Monica went on to tell me that due to the weather I will not be getting my package and there is nothing I can do about this. She said THAT phrase about 4 times. She was rude, argumentative, unprofessional, and loud. When I asked to speak with a supervisor she said "no you called me". No I didn't I called UPS you answered.
Another lady came to the phone and her attitude was just as bad. She tracked my package and said we see it but it's not here....NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!! Then she went on to tell me it's because of the weather. My question was where is my package, why isn't it here, and why was it sent upstate.She stated "somehow". So you are really gonna answer me with "somehow"? Ok, may I speak with your supervisor. Oh, when I asked her name she said "Johnson"... then a guy came to the phone and he claimed to be a supervisor. Guess what he SAID his name was....MIKE JONES!!!
Anyway, I explained what was going on to him. He then told me that they deal with 500-800 calls a day about packages they have no control over. At that point I stopped him and told him:
#1 WHAT does that have to do with me?
#2 I waited till the end of day allowing UPS enough time to deliver my package
#3 I'm sick of them saying its because of the weather. IF MY PACKAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT WHEN THE OTHER 2 PACKAGES WERE LEFT... YOU KNOW WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO, WE WOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
NEVER ONCE DID ANYONE SAY "SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, we accidentally sent your package to the wrong place and now its stuck because the weather has gotten bad. Or sorry Ms Shunda Washington, we shipped your package to the wrong state and we'll do our best to retrieve it and overnight it to you. Or better yet just apologize. BUT DO NOT TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
UPS YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE STINKS TO HELL and you should be ashamed to let such rude and unprofessional people represent your company.
