I can’t stand you UPS guys

[Zowert]

Had a customer go off on me yesterday for a late package. It was for a rather large apartment complex, the address was correct but there was no unit number. So I sheeted it APT on Monday. Delivered it yesterday and since it was signature required I had to meet the customer. The first thing this dude says when he answers the door, “This was supposed to be here yesterday!”

“Sorry sir, I didn’t have a unit number to deliver it to.”

He then insisted I should’ve tried harder to reach him. I asked him if I should’ve knocked on every door in the complex and his reply, “if that’s what it takes yes!”

“Okay, have a nice day sir!”

He couldn’t leave it at that, before slamming his door his exact words.. “I guess this is what I should expect from idiots who get paid minimum wage to carry boxes around. God, I CANT STAND YOU UPS GUYS!” I literally LOL’d as he slammed his door, which probably pissed him off more.

This made me wonder, when a package is going to an apartment and there’s no unit number on the shipping label is that on our end or did the customer forget to enter their apt # when they ordered it? I always thought it was a somewhat common mistake people made while shopping online. Does anyone know if this is ever a UPS friend-up?

this is either a customer mistake but most likely a shipper mistake. not a ups mistake and my address correction that i make costs the shipper

How does it cost them? Are they charged for each attempt? Sorry I’m kind of stupid, help me understand.

Next time that guy gets a package with incomplete address RTS it.

Shipper pays a flat fee regardless of how many attempts it takes but do get charged extra if an address correction is needed.

There’s no way this dude would believe UPS drivers make more than he does.

uneducated in the ways of something does not equal stupid my brother. do not short change yourself but yes, my address corrections depending on the type get billed to the shippers acct. like $8 was the last figure i heard a few years ago

That’s okay. You guys get to laugh all the way to the bank.

Back when I was part time they told us that address corrections cost the shipper 10$. And that was a long time ago.

Even if it has an apt number, scratch it off and rts it.
Go ahead, be a jerk to the UPS guy. Payback is a b...

 

[Indecisi0n]

Next time he gets a package rip the label and sheet it needs apt number again.

That dude gets "special" treatment... Oops, CNL...

Maybe I’ll sheet not in and send his stuff to access points across town.

Shocked he didn't say "That's why FedEx is kicking your ass"

 

[SaladTosser]

If he ever gets 2 packages, send one to an access point and send another to a different access point.

Make a legitimate, delivery attempt.

Or that he knows a “higher up big wig” and he’s going to make sure the driver gets fired because if this????
