UPS - Do not use them!

Small business sabotage post - UPS - NEVER AGAIN! Five bespoke wooden boxes sent to a client via UPS. Part of an event launch. Sent via UPS. I didn't want issues. Boy, was I wrong. Out of five sent only two survived the journey. Look at the state of them: 1)The wood looks like it's had a bullet through it 2) the boxes were unhinged 3) the outer box is almost destroyed with bullet wounds! I have had six weeks of raising this issue with UPS and at the end of the week got a final letter from them saying no compensation will be made: 'UPS must decline any liability on this occasion as the internal cushioning used in this instance was deemed to be inadequate to absorb any impact, shock or vibration during transit'. And that's it. As a small business this incident meant I had to commission three new boxes to be created, in an extremely tight timeframe. Why do these big global organisations get away with this level of service yet the smaller business (i.e me) would NEVER commit such a crime... Please share as you wish and DO NOT use them!!

My sister sent her son?s DJ, dress shirt and special cuff links via UPS. She even took out the insurance that was available. The stuff never arrived and my sister was told she?d only get compensation if she produced receipts for all the lost items. She didn?t have them and the cuff links had been an 18th birthday present from my nephew?s Godfather. UPS blamed my sister for the loss and she didn?t get a penny or an apology.

To prove what amount of compensation they had to pay?


But then how could she prove it was those items actually in the parcel in the first place?!


If no receipts, wouldn't a bank statement do if they were bought on a card?

    • Give the Monster Raving Loony party a shot. They cannot be worst that what is around now.  
    • I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.
    • I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.  
    • I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.
