UPS and Ground Shipping?

[mrbrutal]

with the number of packages that go through both systems, USPS has its problems too. I havent had too much experience with FedEx but all delivery systems big and small have problems

don't listen to antwanRT it's not that bad i have worked there for 8 years yes you do have a chance of sorting it to another gateway but it's not likely. When i was a loader i was 0/1,000,000 missorts went over a million packages loaded with no missorts. Could happen but not likely especially with the newer hubs they are building. Factsoflife doesn't 2DA have a gaurentee? it's obviaous it didn't get there in 2 days don't the guarentee it? I know NDA is guarenteed. Check the shipping number it will tell you where the package isloacted. UPS is geared more towards industries, companies like Dell, gateway, jcpenny, catepelliar etc. USPS is more geared toward the people that wanna ship something to another person like us.

as a starting loader? the only redeeming values are the Med Bene's. it is a mind numbing job.
but yeah. missorted packages doesnt happen a whole lot.

I've never had a problem with UPS. As long as I have the tracking # I've always felt safe. It's always good to know what's the status on my package.

"Factsoflife doesn't 2DA have a gaurentee? it's obviaous it didn't get there in 2 days don't the guarentee it?"

tha't what they tell me, in actual practice however it isn't.

I had a UPS rep actually tell me that it isn't guaranteed. This wafter the THIRD time a supposedly two day shipped package wasn't delivered even close to two days.

Amazing. If I had delivery schedules and an attitude about them like that for my stuff, I'd be out of business so fast it'd make my head spin.

UPS SUCKS

ive been deal with ups since 12-28-02 over a 1000.00 theater reciver they damaged, during shipment. paid for the insurance to cover it if damaged, the claim was denied once then approved then voided after it had been approved, talked to 20 diff poeple about the matter, and now im dealing with someone at corp. office, he says i just dont see how it could have been damaged, or it least cost over 100 to fix it, they said it wasn't packed good,,,, well the lady at the ups office packed it for me damit.. and they still say they dont have to cover it....this reciver weighs 38lbs if its droped it breaks, they even accused me of doing it then shipping the reciver damaged, accused the reciver of the package, everything to try and get out of paying insurance and since then first damage report its in worse shape now since they had it to begin with totally smashed,,,, im having to get a dam attorny and sue them just to get a pathetic 1000.00 out of them.....

dont use ups,,,they suck,,and there answer to a damaged package is , it wasnt packed good enough, or u better have it in writeing that it was when it is shiped,,,,but thell still try to get out of it

if you work there and think its a good company,,, wake up

or tell me why the trying to rip me off or give me 1000.00 dollars so i can replace my reciver i have been without for 5 months

ps ever seen ace ventura pet detective,,,, thats what ups is like

[Steve Crush]

wait a min there guy i never said they where a good company. they didn't make 2.4 billion dollars last year by giving people like you 1000 did they? Trust me i know how greedy UPS is. I was walking the strike lines 5 yrs ago, and well it's contract time again . By the way..... You think Fed Ex treats packages like there fragile? very seriously dought that, and i KNOW USPS doesn't. So it doesn't matter who ya ship it through mishandling of packages is gonna happen. All i know is if i get caught tossing a package or something to that affect, my superviser isn't the happiest person when it happens.

i was a little ticked last night when i wrote that , i just want everybody on this board to know, if you ship your gun threw anybody, for god sake,,, triple box pack it


1st put it in original gun box
2nd then a bigger boxand put foam around it
3rd then a bigger box, go to walmart and buy that spray
fom that expands then hardens,,, then use a another box
untilk u get to the size of about a 25" tv


maybe then u can have no worries,,,,,,

and yes i know fed ex is probly the same way
