UPS - Do not use them!

Recommended Posts

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?

    • its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.
    • Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.
    • It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you. 
    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
