This is my week in a nutshell. 6 packages have been rescheduled by UPS a total of 11 times. They are 0 for 6 on making their original scheduled delivery.

Kinja'd!!!

This package, with Miata parts that I need to actually get my car interior done, took less time to get to C alifornia from Bulgaria than it has spent circling my neighborhood. It’s been out for delivery 3 times and just got turned around to go back... again. Come M onday (the new scheduled delivery), it will have missed it delivery date by 5 days.

I had this same issue with UPS recently. Called and told them to reroute it to the depot and we’d pick it up, sick with Coronavirus or not.

They delivered it the following day.

I’ve had the same issues with UPS and Golden State Online, and GSO even lost my package outright in transit.

USPS delivery so far hasn’t seem affected though.

USPS hasn’t had a chance to screw up the package I’m waiting for yet:

I’m thinking it’s unlikely they are going to hit that June 16th date. Probably should stop accidentally ordering bike stuff from Europe...

From what I’ve seen, Europe is no problem. USPS here has also been fine. Same with Fedex.

That was my previous accidental purchase. This one is https://www.bikeinn.com/bike , which I guess is in Spain (seems like they have a US distribution center, as opposed to just shipping direct via Spain’s mail service).

It’s like the universe knows the only thing we have to look forward to is package deliveries so it’s finding a way to screw that up too.

I’m so “over” the Boys In Brown...

I had one the other that got delivered clear across town.  Randomly.

We are having a similar issue with an Amazon order its maddening.  Can you call and ask for a depot or UPS store pickup instead?  Maybe they can actually get it to one of those places.

Seeing as it’s now the weekend, i doubt I’ll have much luck. My mom’s cousin just had her insulin go through this problem. It arrived warm, and therefore, useless.

I hate UPS so much. Out of all the delivery services, they suck FAR more at actually delivering my package. I do not want my stuff to go to my neighbors. I do not want my stuff to be left at ???? somewhere you didn’t tell me. I do not want you to automatically return my stuff because I, a normal person, am not at home 24/7 or didn’t open the door fast enough. If I sign the ticket to say “leave it,” I should not have to jump through an arcane order of unlisted hoops to get you to do so. Follow my frickin’ note and deliver my stuff , buttholes. Don’t tell me I didn’t “sign” for it when I signed the “we missed you” note to tell you to actually do a delivery service’s job of.......delivering things. Also, quit blocking my driveway. You can walk ten damn extra feet to drop whatever off . I know it. I believe in you.
