Receipt showing the item was to be picked up at the UPS store for free.

This store (Ninth St) charges $5 hold fees for packages, even if they are FREE UPS STORE PICKUP! Avoid! Use the Meadowmont (Chapel Hill) or Apex location. Even if your order receipt says free shipping to UPS store, this particular store charges a $5 hold fee regardless of the size of the package. Calling to complain means being interrupted and told that this is a franchisee so they can do whatever they want. The cashiers will not ask for verification that the item was listed as free UPS store pickup, they will just charge you the $5 per package fee in order to retrieve your package. Yes, it's just $5, but here's the thing. There is no recourse. The employees just say the manager can charge what they want, and UPS.com is different from these franchisee stores. All of the other local UPS stores do not charge this fee and made it clear to me that they are not allowed to charge it if is an item indicated as free UPS store pickup. I think this manager is hoping that nobody is going to take any time to complain or post information about this ridiculous policy since it is only $5 but it adds up, and for an item that costs less than $10, paying $5 for UPS to hold it when it was supposed to be free pickup is absurd.

That terrible staff member's terrible handwriting

I paid extra to get a next day delivery so my important documents could arrive safely and on time. Its expected delivery date was 12/8, however today is 12/22 and I still haven't received the package. This was all because the staff member with brown curly hair and black glasses in the office got the sending and receiving information wrong!!! I have to cancel my flight tickets and hotel reservations because of her mistake, but she didn't even apologize to me. I went to their office at least five more times to look for my package but the staff at site were not helpful. The same staff with brown hair gave me the wrong customer service number when I asked her for help, and the manager refused to tell me that staff's name. No apology, no refund, still don't know where my package is. The worst Christmas I've ever had!!!

See all

I recently used this store to ship a large coffee maker (25 lbs) back for warranty work. I had…read morepacked the coffeemaker myself and the owner warned me that without bubble wrap around the machine, UPS would not honor a damage claim. For a nominal fee the owner repacked the device. Well, wouldn't you know it, the machine got damaged in shipping. UPS honored the claim in large part because the owner verified that the package was packed correctly. Recently I receive payment from UPS to cover the damage. The owner of this store was helpful and courtesy very step of the way. I can't recommend him and his store highly enough. Hal Sandick

Don't get hustled. I came into the UPS Store to do an…read moreAmazon return. The woman who helped me was an Asian woman who appeared to be in her 50's. I'm not sure if she was trying to pull a scam but she scans my receipt with the QR code and then says I need to pay for a box. I asked why, because the instructions from amazon tell you that a box is not necessary (when you start the return) and literally the information on the receipt says "Show the return code to an associate, who will scan the QR code, pack, and ship your return for free." - See the photo below - I told her that I didn't need to provide a box and she refused to give me a receipt with my tracking information. We went round and round for several minutes about this, even after me reading the instruction information to her. I had to call amazon from the store (which took forever) and in the meantime I found a box, then pack it myself for this woman because she said that it was policy. I know it's not policy and the fact that she is forcing people to buy a box at their ridiculously marked up prices is absolutely outrageous. This location has had particularly bad customer service in the past and this was officially the last straw for me. Called in to Amazon and they opened up an investigation. In the meantime, be warned and don't get hustled.

So glad I came here. GREAT customer service. It has lots of supplies and I was able to get…read moreeverything done quickly.

I came here because it seems like FedEx is now the only store in town that will unbind books (I…read morealready tried Office Depot and Staples). Speed/efficiency: great! I came around 4pm on a Wednesday and there was no line. The guy at the counter did tell me he had a backlog of jobs and it would take up to 2 hours to get to mine, but I had planned to drop it off and pick it up anyway. Quality: There was definitely some miscommunication here. I asked for the book to be unbound and 3 hole punched. He said they did not have a 3 hole puncher. I said just unbinding it was fine and I'd hole punch it myself. I was planning to put it i to a binder so I could insert notes inbetween pages. When I picked up my book, it was unbound but placed in one of those multi ringed spirals. NOT what I wanted at all -- just leaving it without all those holes would've been preferred so that I could just hole punch it myself, but now there are multiple holes for the spiral. When I asked if it could be removed easily, he seemed reluctant and pulled out a pair of scissors. I should have asked for a refund because the spiral binding itself cost $4, and it ruined my $40 book because I still need to remove the spiral so I can insert notes, but now am not sure if I should 3 hole punch it or not since it might destroy the integrity of the paper margin. :( I'm pretty bummed about the situation, and wish the guy could have just called the number I left on the order paper to clarify what I wanted.
