I can’t stand you UPS guys

[Jackburton]

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 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?

Says the guy in his apartment pissed off at the world.

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

That seems kinda high. In the 60's, I was in Package Service Center, and it was only 35 cents.

So what does an address correction cost now days? Where is a resident know-it-all when you need one.

What do you say to those?

 

[Turdferguson]

What do you say to those?

"Ok" ,and just stare at them.
I don't give a crap if they are David Abney illegitimate love child. If I can't do something, I can't do it.

$16.40 per package. With a maximum per shipment of $114.80

And after the 7th one in a shipment it's free...

That's a bargain

I still sense his presents--he lurks---if not running under a different handle.

Is it like a disturbance in the force?

Yes -- that's it.

I know he's still "out there" and I promised him I would never move on until he did leave for good. So I guess I'm still stuck posting Irrelevant Youtube videos.

Lol. I had some idiot actually say that to me. He was angry that I didn't come down his snow covered driveway.

Soooo, Which will we solve first, D.B Cooper or Dave lurking?

There are shippers that won't pay that. They have their packages RTS'd (free) and then ship it back out with the correct address.

Costs them a hell of a lot less.

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

Haha, guess what! I have two packages from Amazon for him today. I have three access points to choose from, I am so tempted to do it. But if I do he’s gonna call 1800 pick ups and complain. This dude seems like the type that will go out of his way to make other people’s lives just as miserable as his.

Anyway, I could DR it at his front door. But if he’s not home then I’m picking the AP furthest away. I hope he gets stuck behind a UPS truck blocking a street on his way there tomorrow.
