UPS strikes again!!!!

Re: Ups Strikes Again

I too had a bad experience this week when i order 2 bats from the Detroit tigers and all i received was the tubes. End of the tubes were missing and all the driver had to say was" I thought they felt mighty light". Ups says they found them and are going to overnite them to me..... Now when you buy anything from the Tigers their carrier is UPS . Atleast you could depend on DHL when they had the business

Re: Ups Strikes Again

I feel your frustration with UPS and having to go through the claim process, etc. I'm still trying to get things cleared up with a bat that was reported missing/stolen in late October.

Just be sure to keep an eye out on eBay for your item. Mine showed up three weeks later being sold by a company called National Product Sales. They buy missing and unclaimed freight from companies like UPS.

Re: Ups Strikes Again

So sorry to hear about this nonsense. How do the bats get stolen? Any articles you could point to about the phenomenon? Did you get the bat back from National Product Sales?

I haven't gotten the bat back yet although National Produce Sales pulled the item from eBay quickly after I had pointed out that this item was reported stolen/missing. They've told me that I need to have someone from UPS contact them about my claim. I have been working on trying to do that and have a friend who works for UPS helping me out now.

I don't know for sure but I think the original seller (AJ Sports Collectibles) must have gotten their money back on the claim they filed because the rep I was dealing with won't return any of my calls or e-mails. I'm guessing he figures it's my problem now or he's not been checking his messages for a long time. I was originally told he needed to have their UPS rep contact National Product Sales but obviously he never did that. Who knows but hopefully something happens soon because I don't have the bat or a refund and I would like one or the other.

To be continued...

Re: Ups Strikes Again

Keep calling around, if you can get a hold of some of the higher up employees it is amazing how fast your item can "show up" all the sudden.

Hope it all clears out for you.

Re: Ups Strikes Again

I will never use UPS either, I hate when I purchase something and it is shipped via UPS. They will not deliver ground on Saturdays, they are very very slow.

Ups Strikes Again

A bat I had ordered from a company in Northbrook,IL shipped the bat out to me. It was scheduled for delivery today. When I tracked it on line. They had noted, delivery exception merchandise was missing from the box.I now have to go to all the trouble of waiting for a claim to be filed by the sender and then being reimbursed.This has got to stop. and I hope any dealers out there reading this stop sending items via UPS. They just cant be trusted and it would seem that they have thieves instead of employees at some of their facilities.

joel,

it's good in that you may get your money back, but you cant get the item you really wanted, or might have been one of a kind.

Sure, that happens, and it is unfortunate, but that is why we pay insurance and these shipping companies sometimes care enough to hire honest people and fire dishonest people.

Re: UPS strikes again!!!!

I guess what you are saying is that the FedEx contractors have to pay for missing or lost packages, so that is good for the customers security.

Re: UPS strikes again!!!!

man im expecting some Victoria's secret gifts for my wife, i hope they dont get damaged. o yeah i worked for fedex ground for 6 years, i saw boxes and delivered boxes just like that. I never stole anything, like some people do. As a contractor for fedex you would have to pay for "missing" or "lost" packages. That sucks.

I don't know if UPS does what FedEx does, but I know FedEx hires contractors to deliver packages. My friend did this in Las Vegas. I have no clue how FedEx makes money with 3rd parties delivering packages and often paying them more than the package costs to ship.

Re: UPS strikes again!!!!

I use a UPS store for my business as a mailing address. A few weeks ago, I was standing there when the Fed Ex guy walks in with a padded envelope torn to shreds. I watched him and thought "damn that person is going to be pissed when they see their package".

The Fed Ex guy tells the store clerk " got a package here for Jim Reynolds". ME!!!! Damn, its my package. I looked and it was some blank fingerprint cards that I requested from the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification. I walked up to the Fed Ex guy and said "man, Reynolds is going to be pissed when he sees that package". The Fed Ex guy says "well, that's the way I found it on my truck". I then told him who I was and that if any of the fingerprint cards were missing, an investigator from Utah BCI would be looking to speak with him, haha....I think he understood my disappointment in his company's handling of my package.

My PS3 is coming in the mail tomorrow UPS. It will probably be replaced with a 1985 Nintendo!

Re: UPS strikes again!!!!

Wow.... just never ends. If you don't mind sharing was anything missing?

I got lucky this time as I have been victimized before. The box had game used Yankee caps and nothing was missing and the only damage was crumbled COAs.

My guess is someone checked the contents and decided to move onward!
