I am truly saddened to have to write this review, but feel it a must. I took a package to the UPS Store in Moraga on Tuesday and purchased 3-day shipping with UPS. The day before delivery, my sister, the recipient, received an e-mail notification that the package was going to be delayed for an additional 4 days making the transit time a full week. I could have purchased UPS Ground Service for $28.00 but opted for the 3-day delivery to ensure it would arrive on or close to my sister's birthday and the cost was $66.00. The delay now puts delivery days after. The service in shipping was stellar! The customer service here has always been quite good and I am a loyal repeat customer that spends quite a bit of money at this store. Today, however, when I called the store to discuss the matter, the man I assume to be the owner, instantly took defense and quipped that there is never a guarantee. He was hateful and indignant and demanded to see the e-mail that was sent to my sister as proof. He literally said: "I don't want to wake up tomorrow and see that this package has been delivered." I understand there is no guarantee, but the difference between ground and 3-day is $38.00. This man, the owner, was whining to me that his cost is $35.00. That really is NOT my problem. Finally, after watching this jerk bumble around, smack the keys on his keyboard, aggressively push things around, and huff and puff his disdain, he offered me a refund of $15.00. I asked for $20.00. After a large heavy sigh, he opened the cash drawer and pushed the $20.00 at me with another long sigh. I told him, sir, your attitude in dealing with this matter has lost you a very good long time customer. He grumbled a half-hearted apology. I will not be going back here, I will be taking my business to Kinkos in Lafayette. It's a 10-minute drive, but I refuse to be treated as I was at the Moraga UPS Store. The owner needs to go to customer service training and if he is that unhappy at his business, perhaps he should sell out or retire. As an additional note, the day I sent this package, I was waited on by Kirsten. She was lovely. While I was with her, I could hear this guy mumbling and grumbling then as well. Thank you, Kirsten, sorry you have to work with such an A$$%*(#.
Reading through your reviews, I see another customer made a complaint about the gruff older man working here. You should read your reviews and learn from them.
** UPDATE: My Sister contacted me this morning to let me know that she received yet another e-mail from UPS advising her that her package delivery had been changed and that indeed it would arrive today on schedule **3-day Service** and it did arrive today.
I returned to the UPS Store with the crisp $20.00 bill refund I was issued with such disdain yesterday. Doug was not there to have to face me when I returned the money he had returned to me. This shows everyone that I indeed am a very good person who lives my life in integrity. The service ended up being provided as ordered, no refund required. Therefore the money has been refunded.
Doug, on a very personal note, you have lost a very good customer not because of no guarantee, not because UPS service is totally unreliable. I understand and respect that after that package goes out your door you have nothing to do with it. But UPS is what hangs above your door sir and UPS should stand behind the service their customers pay for and that should not be made to be the customer's problem. The reason you have lost this good person as a customer is because of your hateful attitude and the statement that you made that you did not want to wake up today and see my package delivered on time. Well, it was. You got your $20.00 back and you can relish it as it is the last time I will be utilizing the services of your store, which has been a staple to me since moving to Moraga over 10 years ago. I hope you will take this and grow from it. You and your attitude yesterday were deplorable sir. As an older person and as the owner of a customer service-based business you should know better. read more
