Warning about United Parcel Service UPS
Twice now I have had persishable products arrive via UPS that had
obviously been left in the sun, hot to the touch. UPS drivers routinely ignore instructions to require signature and just drop stuff outside your residence. UPS drivers are rude,unprofessional and bad drivers, least the ones I have encountered. Following complaints to UPS I had harassing phone calls made to my residence by UPS employees. FedEx on the other hand has always been professional, never lost a package and is always on time. I have no profit motive or affiliation with either company, I am simply reporting my experiences. |

It should have certainly been packaged in an insulated container. UPS drivers routinely ignore instructions to require signature and just drop stuff outside your residence. I am very glad they often do not require a sig so I can actually get the package. One time though I had to drive around for an hour to find the driver who didn't leave the package before I got home. I raced home this day. UPS drivers are rude,unprofessional and bad drivers, least the ones I have encountered. I usually don't run into the trucks. I have really good UPS people around here and very friendly. They can only take so much though. Following complaints to UPS I had harassing phone calls made to my residence by UPS employees. FedEx on the other hand has always been professional, never lost a package and is always on time.

DHL ? greg |

The way they operate you'd guess they were recruited from some homeless shelter. FedEx is the only way to go with anything important. |

On Sun, 22 Mar 2009 04:48:15 +0000 (UTC), against all advice,
something compelled eppie , to say: I never use UPS. I too find their drivers to be bozos. My UPS driver is smokin' hot. Sometimes I buy stuff just so she'll show up at my door. -- Real men don't text. |

I don't usually get a bell for UPS, and I usually don't require a signature. A Fed Ex shipment left recently gave me a doorbell ring and left, also not requiring a signature, but was a nice thing because of the time of day, and letting me see my material knowing it was there. I would NEVER get a doorbel ring with USPS, unless it was something special, and its usually left in the street mailbox if it fits. greg |

Its amazing how one can say one company has drivers that seem to be from another planet. These drivers are pushed to the max, and I don't see how any company does anything remotely well, but they do it. You don't see older drivers either. It can't be done by most older people. greg |

UPS drivers routinely ignore instructions to require signature and just drop stuff outside your residence. This can happen if your address is in their "no sig required" database. The no-sig status can stick around for years, based on possibly even a previous resident initiating it. They may even have entired neighborhoods on no-sig. Steve |

Warning about United Parcel Service UPS
UPS drivers routinely ignore instructions to require signature and just drop stuff outside your residence. It's not just UPS. I had a package delivered by FedEx a few years ago, clearly marked 'signature required', simply left on the doorstep when nobody was home. The tracking information on their website showed that it had been signed for by "Mr. F. Rontdoor". Not just me, either. Google search on FedEx "F. Rontdoor" returns over 350 hits. |

It happens with them all. Years ago I had 5 or 6 big boxes of computer equipment left on my front step by Airborne clearly in view from the sidewalk and street. Fortunately I lived in a low crime area. |

Its pretty much standard practice to TRACK your package. If someones signs for it you will see that. greg |

Packages arrive and I have no idea they have, even though I's sitting 20 feet from the door. I have yet to hear them ring the bell. |
