    Default Another UPS delivery disaster.

    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 !
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    That's a really weird deal for your stuff to be delivered 1500 miles the wrong way from you....wow.

    I could understand the wrong street seeings how there are three streets in a row with the same name, the only difference is Ave., Place and Way. But to deliver it to the wrong side of the country, the wrong state, the wrong city and the wrong street ?
    Guess no one reads the printed address, they just go by what the barcode says.

    Crappy! Seems they are all going in the crapper. I was expecting a small parcel package today, likely only a bubble mailer, when I picked up the mail the mail man was finishing up, and my package was not in my box. I asked him what gives, and he gave me the run around about it being in the apartment office, even tho I know it would fit in my box. USPS says it's been delivered, I'll be checking with the office tomorrow, but I'm not real confident at this point.

    Ordered a PSA upper on Thanksgiving day. Was scheduled as a "signature required" delivery. Got great notifications from UPS, but when it was delivered the driver did his usual drop on the porch, ring the bell & walk away. Good thing I was home! (Too bad I have to send it back due to poor milling for the dust cover catch).

    UPS is horrible about that and I finally called UPS and told them that their driver committed a felony a few years back when I had a C&R and had ordered a VZ24 ... UPS guy delivered it to my neighbor two doors down who has the same first name as me (and who is a way lefty so he was visibly shaken when he brought me the opened box, so that part was actually kinda fun). I explained to the folk at UPS delivering a FIREARM to someone without a Federal Firearms License was a felony AND that my other neighbor was a schitzophrenic who could very well have murdered people with the high powered rifle if you people gave it to him (yeah, I know he'd have never been able to get his hands on any 8mm but it frightened the drone at UPS pretty good).

    Not sure what happened to the driver but I never saw him on our route again.

    I ordered an upper too. When I got to shipping email it said signature required. UPS said signature required. Same email said I could set up an account and sign for it on-line. How's that? I know it was mostly a way to release them for liability so I passed. UPS said delivery would happen by end of day tuesday, worse than the cable company. I was surprised when they showed up monday night around 7. How on earth can you pan to be available to sign when the delivery window is an entire day, then they show up early. At least I got a good deal on the upper.

    When I was living in Maryland, USPS delivered an insured load of comics and collectibles (about $400 worth) to Florida. It was insured so my supplier reordered it for me and sent it again. The second shipment ended up somewhere in Pennsylvania. I never did get some of the items as they were sold out after the second shipment failed to get to me.
