Overgoods - missing or duplicate labels

[oldngray]

I wish this is the case, so that sender can realize the mistake and fix it immediately.
Unfortunately, as someone else has pointed out, not all packages get scanned during pickups

Very few packages get scanned during pickups. Not part of the driver's job. They first get scanned after they are unloaded at the center.

Eventually, it should go to a clerk first who would attempt to contact the shipper, failing that, overgoods

Honestly OP stop being sketchy as , if your shipments are constantly going to overgoods you're screwing up your labels really badly or just trying to scam us

Agree with your last sentence 100%. Sounds like a shipper trying to scam UPS (not saying they are). And all these people giving the shipper info on ways to go about it.

Why did the OP simply not call the 800#?

This post sounds like a customer looking for a package.....are you an employee of UPS ?

That’s genius level right there ^^^^^^
SMDH

Packages only go to Overgoods when we cannot find where it goes.

Can we throw the FedEx and Amazon ones into a ravine?

Sometimes people put pkgs with FedEx or post office labels in the UPS dropbox. Maybe throw those into the ravine for sure.

I always threw those in the trash. After I checked for contraband of course.

I had a letterbox pickup once where the box was right next to a FedEx box. People would always put post office packages in it. After about the 100th time of taking them back to the post office or turning them in to the clerk at night, one day I shoved one into the FedEx box. Petty, I know, but I guess I passed my breaking point.

The next day, the package was back in my box, so I figured FedEx played a part in all this. So I shoved it back in the FedEx box. Same thing happened the next day. This went on for about 2 weeks when it was either he or I who went on vacation, I can't remember, and the next time I checked it, it was gone.

We played that game a couple more times until I switched routes.

I’d do the same. Lol

I love how there's a sign on the overhead door that says "DO NOT BLOCK THIS DOOR".

It's a secondary door. We also stack Hilti warranty packages for a truck right outside

What do y'all do with them?

Also realize that there is way more scrutiny with international shipments. Multi piece internationals are not even supposed to go through the system unless all packages are accounted for. If the total information of the invoice doesn't match what is being shipped it should be held. A duplicate can be a real problem clearing them for shipment.

That’s nothing. You should see the FedEx pile at my building. I think it’s actually part of someone’s job to meet with FedEx somewhere and swap them.

This is exactly why I started this thread.

Sending an extra package (or short) can cause trouble in the destination country and so we're trying to figure out the consequences of such rare occurrences.

In some countries, they require all packages in AWB to be present before the customs clearance process can start. And there could be daily warehouse costs until the goods are cleared.

I just leave the fedex packages in the Dropbox. I don’t work for fedex.
