More stupid things customers say

[sailfish]

Last week I delivered to a votech where you have to buzz yourself in. Usually when I buzz they let me right in as soon as they see me on the camera. But this time someone else was there. I buzzed and she asks, "Name?". I respond "UPS" as usual. But then next she says "...But I need a reason". I was lost for words. I simply didn't know what to say next and the only thing I could find was "To deliver you UPS?". I sure as hell wasn't there to service their windows.

I had 2 envelopes for an apartment, after the lady signed she says "do I need to sign again for the other package" uh no, you are good

in the 20's the past couple of days... "are you cold?"

How bout the ones that tell you to stay warm...

I have come to reply with, "no I just try and stay cold now, its much easier."

To be fair, if they had been certified mail, she would have had to sign for each separately.

My all time favorite so far was making a delivery and someone came up and asked if I knew where the UPS center is at. Without a beat I told him no, sorry . He was like OK, thank you. I stopped him before he got back in his car and told him where it was located.

Mine came yesterday. Made a delivery to our local school district office. 4 packages, one of them being a Surepost. After making the delivery, I pulled the pkg car forward to make a delivery to an address across the adjoining street only to see the receptionist come running out holding the Surepost package. (Her) "This one doesn't come here". (Me) "Look a little further down on the address label". (Her) "Oh".

To be fair, Surepost can be a little confusing to try to explain to someone for the first time.

If I could find out the anwser to this question before I die I will die a happy person: What on God's green earth do customers expect for an anwser when they ask "What is it?" I mean, I really don't what to say so I just don't say anything and ask them if they would please sign. What else am I to do?

I always say I don't know guess its surprise package day...

 

[tapatio75]

"Are all those for here?"

Hellooooo you are the only one in this building, what do you think??

 

[Dr.Brownz]

I always say I don't know guess its surprise package day...

I always just say it's something from (shipper name) to (name on package) and then say I can have it sent back if you want

I guess I shouldn't have, but I couldn't resist. Pulled up at a resi on a second attempt, info notice was taped to the front door with the following written on it. "Dear UPS, I will be home by 8 tonight". I pulled out my pen and added to the bottom of it, "So will I".

We have some pretty dumb customers over in England as well.

Inside worker here. The other day, a customer stopped me before I could enter the hub. Asked me if I could take some NDA letters straight to where they belong. I said " Sir, I'll do you one better. I'll take them directly to the pilot who flies the plane."
