So here are my type R boxes.... after the UPS guy left them exposed on my doorstep IN THE POURING RAIN! The subs I think are fine though, but we'll see once I get an enclosure.

That is not acceptable. Take action. Plus, who shipped liked that?

Yeh. I'm not a fan of them just leaving a box on the door step. What's to stop someone from just taking it........

It's not their fault you weren't home when your package was delivered, that's why they have tracking numbers and delivery dates available on their website. He's also probably not a meteorologist and didn't know it was going to rain.

If it was damaged by UPS while being shipped that's one thing, but it was damaged at your house after it was delivered.

Also UPS will only leave the package at your doorstep if the sender specifically requests the "does not require signature" option, otherwise they leave a note and take it back with them.

Unless it's completely clear skies, UPS has always put any package they leave on my doorstep in a large plastic bag. They carry these bags in their truck whether rain is forecasted or not. This incident is not the fault of the OP not being there (not everybody can fit there at-home schedule to UPS delivery times), but of the UPS driver being negligent.

The UPS man is not expected to protect your package if you aren't there to pick it up immediately. They do not know, and they do not care, if you are home or not. They tell you the date/time the package will be delivered, and it is placed at your doorstep at that time, and the rest is up to you. If you chose to not attend to your package on a rainy day, that's your own fault.

All they do is take the package to your door, ring the bell or knock, and then continue on their route. They don't wait for your to answer the door and pick up your package even if you are home. How are they supposed to know if you're there or not?

they have never knocked on my door if i dont hear the truck i dont know my ish is here

 

[mike dressure 10+ year member]

they dont knock on my door either. they put it out in my carport because we have a big silver sign that say's ups dropoff! if they are to stupid to read then i would have a problem but hey....they obey the sign lol. by the way for any of you that use ups make sure you pack your stuff well cause if it aint it will get broken, the ups lady said if it isnt packed good enough for her to drop it at 5 ft from the ground then it isnt there fault if it break's. just an fyi, she said they are in such a big hurry that they are constantly throwing the stuff. so make sure your stuff is packed to the point it wont move

I've been given a date/ never a "time" so how are you supposed to know when it will arrive?

The UPS/FedEx/DHL guys all come around at the roughly same time everyday, give or take 10 min. All these guys have specific routes they take and generally will arrive in your area during a certain time frame, call up the local store and see when yours is around... worked for me.
