UPS falsifies ‘Next Day Air’ delivery times, lawsuit claims - New York Post

UPS doesn’t just cheat its workers — it also scams customers, former workers claim in newly filed court papers.

Overworked drivers are allegedly told to falsify delivery times for the company’s “Next Day Air” service, for which customers pay a premium — between $130 and $163 — to ensure a package arrives by a certain time.

“The cheating is widespread across the New York City area,” claim former UPS employees who say they were forced to scan a package, indicating it had been delivered, only to actually get the package to its destination hours after the deadline, according to the Brooklyn Federal Court papers.

Between $130 and $163 premium for next day air. Where do you come up with a goofy number like that?

Thats prob for an envelope sent by a small buisiness, with no contracted rates.

Talked to a guy and UPS wanted $116 to ship a pizzabox sized box, 2DA, 500ish miles.

this is not news to people that work here. we have found loaded trailers in the back yard that were missed for whatever reason in yard checks and the supe said not to worry. they would just claim late due to snow weather.
