Let's talk about how much I hate UPS.
Last Thursday, the guy leaves a sticker on my door saying he tried to deliver, but I was not there. He didn't leave the box with my neighbor (the sticker says, "Needs Signature," yet I know that the sender DOES NOT REQUIRE A SIGNATURE). He didn't note on the sticker WHEN he'd return the next day (there's that little time thing they could note on the sticker, you know "After 5pm" etc.).
On Friday, I angrily write in red Sharpie on the sticker, "Please leave with neighbor," I sign the sticker on the back even tho I don't need to, but just as a bonus, and then I leave it stuck to my door when I go out to dinner. I can be home all day, and then go out to dinner, right? Of course, there's a sticker on my door when I get home a couple hours later. THIS sticker says the next try will be "Monday After 5pm."
So, when I book home in a hurry to get there at FOUR PM today, why is there a sticker on my door?
I call UPS. They are no help. You know that kind of Customer Service where the customer isn't right? That's the kind of Customer Service brown has. "Please just deliver this package tomorrow morning, first thing, ok?"
Sorry, but your only options are to come pick it up at our cross-town facility tonight between 8 and 8:30pm, even tho you paid shipping to have it shipped to you. Or you can call the facility tomorrow morning and ask them to deliver it at a certain time, but we can not guarantee that time.
WHAT KIND OF CRAPPY SERVICE IS THIS? WHY WON'T UPS JUST DELIVER THE PACKAGE WHEN THERE WILL BE SOMEONE AT THE DELIVERY LOCATION? WHY WON'T THEY TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL BE DELIVERING IT SO I CAN BE THERE? WHY WON'T THEY LEAVE IT WITH THE NEIGHBOR WHEN I TELL THEM TO, WHY ARE THEY ASKING FOR A SIGNATURE WHEN THE SENDER DOES NOT REQUIRE ONE AND WHY ARE THEY IGNORING MY INSTRUCTIONS?! MY HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLODE!
Please imagine a string of the foulest of expletives here.
Does anyone here work for UPS? Why is brown so effed up?!
