1. Find your local UPS terminal
2. Drive up and ask for the manager
3. Tell him your address/location.
4. Ask why your package was 'delivered to your address and also to the neighbors.'
5. Ask how you can get reinbursed and how to avoid this next time.


Just my $.02

 

The neighbor dropped it off. Well, someone dropped it off, got back in a car and left. The UPS dude showed up a bit later, and told me that he couldn't leave it on my porch because it was "in view." Also, I guess the neighbors told him "They won't be back 'til after 5! Just leave it here!" Dude apologized he left it there. I told him to go ahead and leave any future delivery in the carport and NOT with the neighbors (and explained it's a drug house, nice ppl, but a drug house).

 

Good to hear it worked out, but keep in mind, its the holiday season. My buddy is a UPS driver and they are SWAMPED.

 

x2. Fed-Ex is a royal pain in the **** most times. I don't know how many times they put my freight on a truck and then on the website 'unable to deliver package' has shown up, but nobody every came to the door. I then end up having to pick up my package 30 miles away at the Milwaukee airport terminal... UPS is always on time and if they can't deliver the package, they leave a slip I can sign, and they'll leave it the next day.

 

i've been a man *****.... i mean OOPS employee for going on 3 yrs now and the people in charge of the company are morons, last year a certain corporate exec. took away our christmas turkeys cause the company was "loosing" money and then gave himself a $5,000,000 bonus.

THAT'S LOGISTICS!

on a side not we do have an amazing 401K and medical, dental, and prescription drug plan

also when they leave a package with a neighbor or anywhere other then the front door they're suppose to scan it and write in where they put it, and that info (who, where the package was left) can be seen on the ups.com with the tracking #.

 

I have the exact same problem.
But with Fed-ex.
Ups always gets it right, Fed-ex has been known to deliver my things up the road, every time.

 

I don't have any problems with either Fedex or UPS - but Fedex delivers around 9am and UPS at 5pm. It's USPS I have issues with here - the dumbass mail carrier can't read house numbers. I'm always getting my neighbor's mail and the one on the other side keeps getting mine.

 

I ordered some 2 12" Kicker CVR's from Crutchfield, and the delivery guy left them at my aunts house down the road, which wasn't a prob. But he left the package sort of in the garage in the rain, so rain is splashing on the box. All I got was a message saying "I thought I found your house but I wasn't sure so I left it in a garage at someones house". My question is if he thought it was my house why not leave it there, he had the address description of the house, we lived at the end of a private drive, he knew this too. Thank god that the people that used to live there were not living there or that would have been $200 gone.

I also had the same problem with a power cord I ordered from Dell, they didn't even know where they left it so I was on a hunt around the country side asking all my neighbors if they got a package from Dell. That time I just got a message saying that it was delivered to a neighbor. I finally found it in my mail box at the end of my drive.

 

i know what you mean, how in the H*ll do you get Bedford Ave. mixed up with Broad St.?, not once but 3 times in a row. i surely don't need to do my job as well as there's!

 

The nobody came to the door part, that is jut lazy, that can happen at any company.

The signature release. Next time you have to pick up something, fill out the signature release form at the FedEx terminal. That way unless the package is marked no signature release, they will leave it at your house.
Same applies, if you do this, and it is not there when you get home, it is your problem not theirs ( same with the UPS signature tag ).
UPS also has the same mandatory signature option o packages, Lenovo uses that one for everything ( even a 45.00 power supply ).

 

I used to be a courier for a local company years back and I would have also left your package with the neighbour and here is why.

We preferred to have packages signed for and left inside. Stuff left outside tends to disappear or get damaged.

I don't live in your area and I don't know the location of every drug house in the city.

Run down house does not equal meth lab in my eyes. There are plenty of people who can't afford the upkeep on their home. There are also plenty of people who don't take care of their stuff. They use it up and move on. My girl used to be like this with her cars but she is getting better. Does that make here a bad person or a meth dealer? No.

Most times I would not get paid for coming back. I don't know about you but when I am working I like to make money. If I could leave it with a neighbour and not have to make a free return trip that is better for me.

You should try putting yourself in their shoes before you judge. There is no excuse for not doing your job like some of the other stories posted but your guy seemed to be doing his to me.

 

I ordered a Wilton vise online. Package weight was about 75 lbs. I'm chilling at home one day and I hear BOOM out front, then as I get to the door I see the fedex truck pull away. D-bag driver dropped the box, which broke one of the mounting tabs off the vise. Guess what, now he gets to come pick it up because it's getting sent back. A week later, the new one comes, BOOM, on the front porch again. Luckily this time it didn't break, but the guy got to carry it 3 times instead of once.

 

This isn't a "run down" house, it's a destroyed house. Anyone that would let their house be in such shape (and their body...they all look rough) isn't just "down on their luck."

 

Those are subjective terms.
One person's definition of destroyed can be another person's definition of run down.

To say any house that looks "that bad" is not down on their luck, by deduction do not mean they are operating a drug production lab. They could be lazy, or they really could be down n their luck.
With this logic anyone with a panel van is a child molester or serial killer, not someone that bought a contractor's old truck, as that is all they could afford.

Ever heard the phrase, "you can't judge a book by its cover" ?
