I worked at UPS to put myself through college. Yes somtimes when you loading 1200 boxes an hour you get overloaded and have to get the stuff loaded fast. We where instructed to get it loaded and make every attempt to not break anything. As when I worked there they would give a briefing every quarter on how much broken things cost the company in profits. But your shift supervisor would tell you"look get the **** trucks loaded they have to go, I don't care how it gets in there just get it in there now". So boxes got in as fast as people could through them in and get the braces up. Drops offs could vary depending on how much you had to deliver but you try to stick to a certain time schedule. But come on try to at least take care of the stuff I did even if in a hurry. I did the best I could and most of the UPS guys do try. By the way UPS sucked to work for, one of the 2 worst places I have ever worked.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
the type-r deserved it
Sorry for digging up an old thread especially now that the pics don't work, but I never commented on this. It was pouring all day and they left it there exposed. I was not given any time to be there or anything like the cable guy or something (not that I'd necessarily be able to be there during that time anyways.) I've had good experiences with UPS dropping my packages off in smart/good places, but this was terrible negligence on the part of the driver.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.
