Um yeah so UPS are listing my lightsaber as "delivered"

I know for a fact that it's not, as the delivery address has people there 24/7 to collect packages, so it's not a case of sorry we knocked but you were out.

I dug a little on their website, and they're listing it as delivered to Northampton, UK.

Now I know American companies can sometimes be a little iffy on UK geography, but when the shipping address is Cambridge, UK... (and when the postcode counts for the entire side of a very long street, and is exclusive to one building...)

Sigh... How on Earth do I contact UPS about this? I've had a look over their website, and infuriatingly keep getting redirected to the page that says delivered.

Help!

Wow, that really sucks.

My only suggestion would be to call them, and see if they can help you. Beyond that I don't know what to tell you.

*sigh* I feel for you. I can only say that this is not the first, and likely not the last time I've heard of this happening. My best advice is call them, don't be afraid to let them know how you feel, and be prepared to target your Proton Torpedoes. Good Luck, and May the Force be with You.

I've had something like this happen to before a long time ago. it was usps, and  I noticed it was headed in the wrong direction
on their tracking page. in any case, it was the sender that had the authority to alter the course of the package.
it got recalled before reaching its destination and re-shipped to me.

There was another thread on a similar subject awhile back, and I thought it was funny alot of people came forward and said UPS was great and they never had a problem and only the nicest, politest, and carefullest of UPS employees could be found in their areas. I think it's apparent they are the lucky ones. UPS certainly doesn't seem to be very picky about who they hire, or how they train them. Japan gets hell on earth so a package being shipped between two places almost as far away from Japan as possible can't be delivered? W. T. H. I said it before and I'll say it again, the company I work for ships a rough average of ten packages a day, and we stopped using UPS just because of things like this, and the many stories of items being misdelivered, stolen, and or broken, and the driver invariably saying it was packaged wrong. I packed several of those orders myself, and I can tell you how many inches of bubblewrap and peanuts were between the box and the item, and how well protected it was. UPS is poorly administrated. That's all there is to it.

Of course, I have to say that when my Ultrasabers order came through UPS it arrived safely and with no damage whatsoever, but again, I feel that is an instance of luck in getting the good employees on my route instead of the bad.

To answer the original question, yes UPS are idiots. Or as I like to call them Jar Jars.

On another note... I seem to be hearing shipping everywhere is getting held up by the Tsunami aftermath. Something we were expecting here was held up due apparently to a minor Tsunami hitting California or something. Again, I have to remark on how much the media sucks.  Angry Coverage of Japan we should have, but it should be better quality, and instead of looping the same hour of coverage ALL DAY... we should get some of our local news coming through. Besides the traffic and weather reports. Blasted Media.

Ooo! A Sith is hittin' UPS? Can I watch? lolz
