Ups has made it impossible toget my package. It needs a signature not place to pick it up. I have called 4 times asked to speak to supervisor because 4 times I've called left instructions to go to rv on property have been ignored. Someone is there to sign driver not going to rv just screams ups in my driveway. Can't get a call back from local supervisor to notify driver to go to rv.

Last Wednesday June 25, 2025 I shipped my IPhone 14 Pro Max ***** gray 256gb iPhone. **** # *************** I walked into the building with my iPhone 14 Pro Max in hand. The employee packaged up my iPhone in a small box with my iPhone case still on the iPhone. (Heres the information from my receipt ID - Mmj93sv4zVjrm, Transaction *************************** I never ship boxes I never knew about package insurance nor was I ever offered such service. I paid for the shipping and was told by the UPS employee that it should arrive the following Monday. Well on Sunday the box was delivered with no evidence of the box being opened but only item that was in the box was the phone case. The package was received by my brother without the iPhone present. I have taken steps to file a pilot report with the ************************ in *******. Police report number: ******** as well as notified ******* about the device being stolen by a UPS employee. They ********* put the **** number as stated above on a blacklist so whoever has the iPhone wont be able to activate it on any network. This device costed me $1,199.99 and after taxes it costed me $1,285.49.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern,I am submitting this complaint regarding repeated remittance letters and late fees from UPS for a shipment that, according to DJI (the original shipper), has already been paid in full by them.Background:I received a replacement drone from DJI under their ******** Express program.DJI initially shipped the replacement via UPS and mistakenly labeled it in a way that triggered a $601.80 freight charge.Upon DJIs direction, I denied delivery of the first package, and a second shipment was sent properly without charges.DJI confirmed repeatedly via email and chat that they have paid the UPS freight charge and instructed me not to make any payments to UPS.Ongoing Issue:On May 28, 2025, I received a remittance notice from UPS for $601.80.On June 29, 2025, I received another notice with a $59.58 late fee, totaling $661.38.Despite forwarding these to DJI, who again confirmed payment and that they were in contact with UPS, I continue to receive notices.I have also attempted to contact UPS directly via email, but I have not received any response.Why This Is Unacceptable:I did not authorize this shipment, nor am I the paying party for it. The responsible party, ***, has acknowledged and confirmed payment. Continued attempts to bill me directly along with added late fees are creating unwarranted stress and may lead to credit issues.Desired Outcome:1.UPS must confirm that this bill has been cleared and stop all remittance or collection efforts against me.2.UPS should issue a written confirmation that I owe nothing on this shipment.3.Late fees should be voided, and my contact information should be removed from any related billing records.Business Response

UPS is claiming to have lost my package. A package including a $4420.00 engagement ring. When I first spoke to a representative, they explained that there must not have been a truck available at the time, but that one would be dispatched and be able to move the item. The next day, I called, and no notes had been left, or no updates could still be given. The unhelpful UPS representative explained it would be on me to call the shipper and notify them that the package was lost since no scans were completed since 6/30/2025.Business Response

Every time I called ups customer ********************** they told me to file a claim online. I tried several times to file on line on your website.

On May 14, 2025, I shipped an iPhone 16 Pro Max back to T-Mobile using UPS. According to tracking, the package arrived in *********, **, on May 15, 2025, and was scheduled for delivery on May 16, 2025.After that, the tracking status changed to indicate an issue and advised contacting the receiver. I reached out to T-Mobile, who confirmed they never received the package.I opened an investigation with UPS, which was closed with the explanation not enough information, unable to contact customer. However, I was never contacted by UPS.I called UPS again and was told that because Im not the shipper, I needed to go through T-Mobile. I contacted ********, and together we filed a claim with UPS. I was told the investigations team would reach out to me, but that never happened. The claim was closed again just two hours later for the same reason.I called UPS once more and was told the claim was closed because T-Mobile needed to file it. I explained that ******** had already filed the claim. I was then transferred to the investigations team, provided the **** number, and was told it would take eight days to resolve the issue with *********** has now been nearly two months without resolution. I am extremely frustrated, as Im paying $120/month for a phone I no longer possess and am out over $1,300 for the cost of the device.I am seeking assistance to resolve this matter promptly. I believe I have been patient and cooperative, but I am receiving nothing but contradictory information and delays.Desired Resolution:Locate my shipment or reimburse the value of my iPhone 16 Pro Max ($1,300) and any fees associated with removing the line from my account.End the runaround between UPS and T-Mobile regarding claim responsibility.Provide clear communication and follow-through on the investigation.Thank you for your assistance.Business Response

UPS Delivery was supposed to be delivered on 6/12/25 by 7 pm. Day of delivery received a message stating that the address was incorrect! Called UPS spoke to ******* at UPS she stated that she guaranteed the delivery will be here on 6/13/25 by 7 pm. Delivery did not come. I called UPS spoke to ****. **** guaranteed the delivery would be here on 6/13/25 by 8 pm. He stated that driver had 1 stop prior to my delivery. Delivery never came. Called UPS again and was told oh by the way "you changed your status," and we are unable to deliver, and I asked for a supervisor and was placed on hold for over 1 hour without any answer! I never changed any "status" this is outrageous, and this has happened before with the UPS drivers not wanting to drive out here to this community. UPS is not taking any accountability for their drivers' laziness! This is a new home development, and I understand it is the middle of nowhere but that does not mean we dont deserve our deliveries! If I am paying for a delivery, I expect it to come when it is scheduled to come.Business Response

Hello! This has absolutely nothing to do with our location of The UPS Store. The complainant is trying to lodge a complaint against UPS. The tracking number that was provided does not include the identifying six digit account number that is present in all of our packages that are shipped with UPS through our location.
