This review is for UPS Freight overall but especially for the West Sacramento location.
A few months back we ordered a new kitchen table for our dinning room from on online retailer. The shipping option was UPS freight, and it cost over $100... which is to be expected, no harm done there.
Anyway, once we ordered the table it was shipped via UPS Freight. On the day it was supposed to be delivered, the truck driver called us and said that he would not be able to deliver the package because the weight of his truck was too heavy to drive on our residential street. He suggested we "meet him on the highway with our pick up truck." We don't even own a pick up truck!
I suggested to him that they should reschedule the delivery and use one of their smaller normal sized delivery trucks and deliver it to our front door... which is what we paid for! His response was "We don't have small trucks. And you should have known before paying for freight that your address is not deliverable... usually people know better that you we can generally only deliver to commercial properties." He then said he would take the package back to the UPS freight location in West Sacramento and I would have to arrange pickup within 3 days or it would be returned to the sender!
So, after asking around to borrow a truck, I was able to get one and drove all the way out to the West Sacramento UPS Freight location to pick up my package. Well guess what! The first thing I notice when I pull up is an entire fleet of those normal sized ups trucks! So the driver not only was rude to me, but he flat out lied to me too!
Once I go inside, it took them more then 30 minutes to locate my package. When they finally brought it out, they refused to load it into the truck for me. They said that I already signed the form and now it is my responsibility and not theirs! So here I am by myself trying to load this huge package into the bed of this pickup truck. Then I notice that the package was damaged! I went in to complain about the package and they did not even want to talk to me and asked me to leave.
So unfortunately after paying $100 for shipping, this was my experience with UPS Freight. read more
