I am a disgruntled customer who believes this UPS retail outlet store racially profiles and I can guarantee if I were blue-eyed and blonde haired, I would not be writing this review. I am getting no resolve on an issue that has been ongoing since November 4, 2021. I took a package in good faith on October 30th to the UPS retail store at 417 West 81st Avenue Merrillville, IN to be mailed to Euless Texas to my 12-year-old grandson.
To this date the package which contained a pair of Skull Candy Earbuds never made it to the destination. I KNOW someone took this package and now I am having the hardest time being reimbursed for this non-delivered package which was insured up to $100.
I refuse to take a loss of my hard-earned money, whether it was 620.05 or the cost at hand of $62.05 which included the $12.05 shipping fee. I have tried to gain a resolution for this never delivered package, starting with two employees in the establishment on 11/26/2021 who stated they would submit a claim. I learned on 12/20/21 by the Assistant Manager Rachel she had never received a request on her desk (Rachel) to process a missing package claim. So, Rachel advised me she would process the lost claim and for me to check back in a week. I went in on 12/27/2021, a week from Rachel telling me to check back and was told Rachel was on vacation and would return in a week. I checked back in the retail store 1/4/2022, talked to Rachel who said she had processed my request, but the investigation was still open and no reply from Corporate Office to date. I then stated I am going to take this further, because obviously they don't give a care about my claim or me. I told her I would be reaching out to the Better Business Bureau; the Attorney General and I am going to contact Consumer Affairs about this matter.
Rachel then gave me this number 1-800-742-5877 and she gave me a card with the name of the Store Owner (Joe Polo) but states no way to reach him as he hardly comes in the store. Well then what good is a name on a business card if you can't make contact with the owner who needs to know about his business and its practices?
I went to my car after walking out of the retail store letting Rachel know I have no plans to step foot back in this place on 1/4/2022 and called the Customer Escalation number the given by Rachel and talked with Yvette on 1/4/2022, who promises to re-open the claim and again same ole same ole line.
I then called to see the results and ended up talking to a Frank 1/14/2022, Jesus 1/14/2022, Joy 1/17/2022, Red 1/17/2022, then a supposedly a supervisor John on 1/17/2022 who was with Lost Packaging. He says he will for the last time reach out to Fort Worth Texas UPS about this package and IF THEY CLOSE THIS claim again as delivered, he promises he will monitor this and will take it upon himself to reach out to the Merrillville Retail Store for a refund and that they would give me a call.
Well today 1/24/2019 I checked on the tracking number on the UPS site as John had advised and found claim is closed and marked as delivered. I called for John and was told there is no John. I then asked for a supervisor and the
incompetent employee who did not want me to talk to supervisor, told me no- one could come to the phone, but would call me within an hour. I told him NO and I wanted a supervisor now. Catherine comes to the line and identifies as a supervisor and begins to make the same promises to me as the supervisor unknown by the name John did.
WHY DID I TAKE THE TIME TO WRITE THIS POST? GLAD YOU ASKED----WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING WRONG SAY SOMETHING OR DO SOMETHING
DO NOT UTILIZE ANY BUSINESS THAT RACIAL PROFILES. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE TIME YOU STEP IN THE BUSINESS UNTIL THE TIME YOU LEAVE IS HORRIBLE.
