I'm not a UPS driver; just a homeowner. Please help me.

A couple of nights ago, I was sitting on my balcony after putting my baby to bed. It was dark, and I noticed a large truck pull up in front of my house. A guy got out and approached my front door. His truck was beeping... loudly, incessantly, so annoyingly. I asked him if he could turn the beeping off; he said no. I asked him what company he worked for, he insolently said, "look at the truck." I told him that I couldn't see the truck very well because it was too dark. He said, "oh well, I can't help you." I said, "you are at MY house, making a delivery at MY door, I demand to know who you work for." He said, "I'm not telling you."

Finally, my eyes adjusted to the dark and I saw the UPS logo on the truck. I exclaimed, "UPS!" The driver ignored me, walked back to the BEEPING truck, drove about 20 feet to my neighbor's house, the darn thing is STILL beeping, and he made another delivery and drove off. NEVER have I heard a UPS truck beep like that. And I receive a lot of deliveries.

Tonight, the same guy showed up, knocking at my door, at 9:30 at night. I answered the door, and he said he was here for a pickup. I said, "it's way too late for anyone to be knocking on my door, my dogs are going crazy, my baby is sleeping, this is not acceptable." His reply was, "I can actually come to your house as late as midnight."

WTF? Midnight? I'm a single mother with two small children and if anyone decides to knock on my door at midnight, they better expect me to answer the door ready to beat them bloody.

I said to him, "I don't have the pickup ready. Come back tomorrow, earlier." He gave me more attitude, and left. Just a back-talking, insolent, Mexican guy who looks like he's a gang member, in his early 20s. Disrespectful and rude, and while I understand that deliveries can be made late, I think it's really intrusive for someone to be coming for a pickup at 9:30 at night... or midnight, for that matter.

Honestly, if he had acted like a decent person, I really wouldn't be this mad. But to have such a rude, disrespectful attitude along with disturbing my house on two different nights, I want him to never come to my house again.

Please help; is it ok for him to keep the truck beeping the whole time? It beeped as he drove away. It beeped as he drove down the street and around the corner. And is it ok for him to come to my house for a pickup at 9:30 at night? What about midnight?

I have several thoughts on this:

First of all, it is possible to silence the beeping by simply dimming the dashboard display.

Second, if the driver stopped at her house and then drove 20' to the next one he chose a poor parking position. It's what I call "splitting the difference"-----park between the two stops so that they can both be walked off from the same parked position.

Third, we as drivers are obligated to answer any and all reasonable inquiries from the customer in a professional manner. Our guy should have told her who he worked for the first time that she asked.

Fourth, if you didn't want to be bothered, you should have put the return by your front door. The driver would have affixed the return label and left your receipt between the storm and front doors.

I'm betting he isn't putting his e brake on. My new truck beeps only when it isn't. Upstate is correct with the light switch dimmer. Really the beeping, isn't that loud. Annoying , yes.

Lady. You know he comes at 9-9:30. Put the package out at 8:45. Then he will be on his way.

Try to enjoy the holidays. We are trying our best to get you what you need for it. So far your not off to a good start

Sitting on your balcony at night? Hope it wasn't for a long time. Those kids can get into some mischief pretty quick when left unattended. Or, you can quit smoking.
