Another UPS delivery disaster.

[Gunner]

Well, been going back & forth for a couple of days with UPS and the shipper of an item the wife ordered for a Xmas present for me that was supposed tobe delivered Tuesday.
Come to find out that UPS dropped it on a front porch in Bethlaham, PA.
The shipper confirmed that the proper shipping address (mine) was entered on the shipping label.
I for the life of me I cannot understand how UPS ended up delivering it to PA !

Something doesn't seem right there. Im willing to bed the sended might have made a mistake. Its pretty hard to mess up a big CO or PA when delivering a package

Well UPS says it was the shippers mistake and the shipper says it is UPS's fault, finally today the Shipper agreed to resend the order, and I made sure that they read the shipping address back to me to make sure it was correct.

haha totally. I worked in a place with a good amount of mail volume. USPS would probably deliver at least once a week, mail addressed to another state, from another state. So of the two states involved (sender and recipient) it wound up in a totally unrelated state (ours). I'd give it back to the post office and tell them "try again" and then two days later it'd be delivered back to us haha.

I can tell you exactly how.. multiple shipping labels on the same box. It happens. Companies reuse boxes. Saw it all the time in my 12 years there..

Ive had some packaged delayed already this month. Only a day though and it didnt say if it was Amazon's or UPS's fault. No major mishaps like the OP's though.

Little known fact: Anything insured for $5000 or more is HAND CARRIED through the UPS sorting facilities, and placed on a truck. It will completely bypass the normal belts and the goons loading the vans. I learned this from my old delivery driver(retired 2 years ago at age 52, after 35 years at UPS), after we shipped some glass sculptures to a customer down in Phoenix, in museum quality packing, and they managed to break them. Insurance is cheap, like $25ish for $5k.

Tfogg is right high dollar stuff gets hand delivered and carried and the package handlers sign off for it at very step when I threw packages for them seeing the candy cane stripes meant business. Had one package the was about 6 inches square insured for more than 5k+ and weighed 26 lbs. was shipped from a coin company to somewhere in CO

Ever have to search for one that wasn't declared when you find a 2ct diamond laying on a slide...
