I'm not usually one to write Yelp reviews, but this customer center screwed up my delivery so badly that I feel I must warn others about my awful experience...
- On 12/2 when my 3 day select shipment was supposed to be delivered, instead the tracking updated to "failed delivery - adult signature required". However, no delivery attempt was actually made as I was home all day, and also have 4 security cameras and 2 doorbell cameras that confirmed UPS was never here. Not only that, but this shipment didn't even require a signature to be delivered, so they basically just made that up.
- The tracking said that another delivery attempt would be made the next business day (which would be 12/3). However, by 12/7 there had still been no delivery attempt made, and so I started calling UPS.
- Nobody at the Baldwin Park UPS customer center ever picked up the phone, so I instead got a hold of the UPS national support line. They called this customer center who then claimed my package was lost, and the phone representative recommended I open an investigation for it with them, which I did.
- Two days later on 12/9, the investigation had turned up nothing, but the status of the tracking somehow updated to "returning to sender". Even though zero delivery attempts had ever been made.
- Pretty upset at this point, since I had already been trying to locate this package all week (which was not eligible to be returned), I called UPS again to get to the bottom of it. This time, the phone support claimed that the customer center had "held" the package all week, and was waiting for me to pick it up - but were now returning it since I never did. Even though the tracking never reflected this, and the previous representative even told me it was lost. As ridiculous as it is, I would have happily driven the hour to pick it up but they literally never gave me that option. I was told I would then receive a call from the customer center to explain what exactly happened, but they never actually did that.
- I was hoping that this was just an error in the tracking info, but the next day the shipment started moving back to the sender. Desperate to prevent this since the item was not refundable, I called UPS one last time to try to intercept it. They called the Baldwin park customer center again, who claimed to know what was going on. This time the manager of the customer center "guaranteed" that they would still be delivering this package to me, despite the changed tracking. They also promised to call back again that day, which turned out to be yet another lie and I never heard from them.
- Today 12/13 the package has now been completely returned to the sender. Zero delivery attempts were ever made to deliver it to me, and I couldn't even get them to locate it in a week of nonstop calling, before sending it back. Easily the worst UPS experience I've ever had and judging by the other reviews here, I'm far from alone in this.
If you live in an area where your UPS shipments go through this facility, I would highly recommend using literally any other carrier out there to receive your packages. read more
