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?

    • Actually far better than I anticipated.  My usual viewings from the kitchen are of the feeders that for whatever reason appear less visited.  But upstairs, and doing it for the whole hour we spotted many more species, and with the help of the bird song app saw wrens, and probably a black cap.  We caught a brief view of a small flock of long tailed tits, and were pleased to see far more gold finches than we expected, so numbers not as decimated, following sub freezing nights a few weeks ago, as thought. No sparrow hawks, probably only see one a decade, and expect that they are more interested in wood pigeons than sparrars.
    • So we have been through millions of years of evolution just to be abusive to people?  Irrespective of your beliefs, and I am certainly a non-believer, I wouldn't be abusive.  Just ignore or if you are that bothered argue back. I pass preachers all the time ranting in Peckham.  I generally chuckle to myself but in the past have been happy to debate with JWs when they call, although they usually leave fairly quickly as they don't agree with my views, including bullying me as nine year old with tales of the end of the world. Sadly Christian fundamentalism from the times of the crusades, conquistadors and now Trump's America has so much to answer for.  
    • I agree. And nor should it be acceptable for someone to shove a camera in my face when I clearly tried to avoid it. Thank you 🙏
    • I am so sorry to hear about this. xx
