DO *NOT *DROP YOUR UPS Package Here.
I dropped a package off October 5th, 2023 and they lost it. I couldn't file a claim with UPS because they were never in position of it. Every time I tracked the package it always said it was there. Several managers went to *look* for it but could never find it. I described the employee who helped me so they can follow up with her since she didnt follow whatever procedure for UPS packages. Apparently, that wasn't done either. I was told to call in their customer service line. When I did, their call centers are overseas and couldn't comprehend to issue I was having. They ended up hanging up on me.
When I started to call the store more often, I wasn't given any answers or solutions. I left repeated messages with managers for upper management with no return/follow up phone calls.
November 13th, 6 weeks later, my package was found and manager Larissa called me to give me the option to pick it up. When I asked what happened no one could tell me how this happened. So it's clear there's still no communication between staff and management.
On November 14th, when I went to pick up the-never-shipped-package, I asked for a manager. Manager Christopher was absolutely no help. Didn't even know what was going on nor seem compassionate about the experience I was going through. He stated he knew nothing about the situation. Said he was new. I asked him how long he'd been there and he stated 3 weeks. I asked him what's the process for employees to get messages to managers. Said they were supposed to give it to them right away. I asked him how did this happen, he couldn't answer. I asked him what's the procedure for collecting UPS packages. He couldn't answer. Every question I asked him, he couldn't answer and started to deflect for me to call 1800Michaels. How are they supposed to help over the phone on a different hemisphere what your store procedures are? I told him they weren't even aware of accepting UPS packages. He was completely useless from a customer standpoint. He stated he he was responsible for the new look of the store and how the shelves are fully stocked. It came off tone-deaf and insensitive since that wasn't the matter at hand.
I asked him if he knew who dealt with BBB complaints. He had no clue.
As a Michael's card holder, a Seller on their Maker Place, a frequent shopper online and in-store, and custom framing, its beyond frustrating to shop there. And they're the closet location. I never thought I would be treated this way for this long. Then they're hiring ineffective managers who lack customer serve skills (Chris). What a shame.
At this time, my phone calls and BBB complaint is still unanswered. read more
