Good job, UPS

Apparently my delivery has been joyriding around town for 4 days now. In all my years, this is the worst I’ve seen from UPS — it’s not a weather delay or a holiday rush or a mistake. They just keep putting the package on the truck and then not delivering it. It’s not crucial so I’m just going to let it pan out for a bit, then give Amazon some hell.

If it makes you feel better, USPS lost two packages I sold this week alone. They really are plumbing new depths this week.

Yesterday I received an empty amazon bubble mailer. The t racking number on it matched an order that was delivered to me three days ago.

UPS has gotten all of my packages here, but they’ve taken to leaving them in the snow (bagged) by the street instead of you know, actually delivering them to the door. I think the holiday crunch is getting to them, though the driver might also be annoyed that I bought and immediately returned two 43" monitors.

Their name is pronounced “o ops” for a reason, you know.

You should order a set of kettlebells!

I expect that from USPS, though. My experience has usually been:

1. UPS/Fedex

2. Monkeys

3. Carrier Pigeons

4. USPS

5. DHL

It might be fun to torture the delivery guy, but right now my left shoulder can’t even handle a three pound dumbbell, so I don’t think I could make much use of kettle bells .

No reason your right shoulder can’t get swole in the meantime!

(honestly, though, back and shoulder pain are the worst . I’ve got a nasty finger tendon-plus- bone break that’s still healing and you don’t realize how much you need stuff until you’re hurt)

Last week Monday, before Thanksgiving, I issued a UPS call tag for one of our employees’ laptops. He wouldn’t need it for the rest of the week, and the device desperately needs a memory upgrade.

Never saw it last week, so I checked tracking. Tracking shows the pickup scan, but that’s it. We opened an investigation with UPS.

Today, I still only see the pickup scan. Conversely, I haven’t heard from the employee yet...and if he was missing his laptop I’d have heard by now. I have no idea what they actually picked up, nor where it ever went.

if they were travelling through Colorado last weekend, there was a regional mail semi truck involved in a fatal multiple truck crash. O f course, USPS doesn’t need anything that serious to mess up.

I ordered a part from a local company.

A glass back window.

T his company has a FLEET of delivery vans.

But since the local warehouse 20 miles south of me didn’t have it, they shipped it UPS out of another warehouse only 10 miles to the west of them.

So instead of shipping it internally between the warehouses and adding only 20 miles round trip to their delivery, they had UPS pick it up, drives it 10 miles east then 2 0 miles MORE SOUTH to thier facility, then the next day drives it 50 MILES NORTH, right past where its going to be delivered (I can see the highway from here, damn it), then drives it the 20 or so miles back south to deliver it to me.

And yes, the packaging looked like Hell when it got here. Thankfully no damage to the glass that had ZERO added packing added to it .

A FedEx Ground/Home driver at my house keeps scanning packages BEFORE delivering them. Sometimes it’s an hour, sometimes it’s ten minutes, but it’s driving me bonkers. And he keeps doing it. I am trying to get something done at FedEx, but they keep ignoring me and just point to “no signature required.”

But it’s just baffling. One time he spent five minutes in front of my house in his truck, presumably pre-scanning packages. I think someone needs to teach him how to scan a package as he walks up to deliver it. Then he has an accurate scan, and saves time.
