Pretty much sure that I have made my way over to the dark side. Zip it those of you who already thought I was there.
I hate f...ing UPS Canadian edition !!. They give you the option of choosing another delivery site/person or picking the parcel up at a receiving facility PRIOR to said package being loaded on to a delivery truck.
So as per this I opted for the pick up at the tim-buck-to... outer rim location facility. I get there around 10 am only to be told that the package is on a delivery truck. The computer says it is being held for me to pick up. When I asked why... company rep said " we got 4,000 packages and how can I (meaning him ) possibly have the time to find yours within 24 hours. " When I asked him why then does UPS online offer this option... dead silence. Looks at me as though it was my fault for falling for this so called customer service.
Then he opens his mouth again and asks if the door code was different than my apartment #. Yes... but I was never asked for that info. Says the delivery person won't leave the parcel if this info is missing and it is the responsibility of the shipper ( US ) to ask and include this. Okay... can I give you the code and you can notify the driver... response no ... without sorry for the inconvenience.
Conversation ended with me directing him to make sure that my parcel remained at the facility for pickup tomorrow while I rushed back home to hope that the driver hadn't come yet. No unable to deliver sticker on the main door so that could be a good sign. The door code for my apt. is clearly displayed by the intercom door buzzer should the driver care to look... I can no longer track the parcel delivery since it was supposed to be at the facility.
Oh... and even though I'm not a fan of FedEx and once liked UPS... the conversation ended with... and that is why FedEx is so much better ! In truth it is for me cus' you don't get that stupid got to first try to deliver x1 via the truck and I can easily pick up my parcel at the airport.
Don't mess with me and my saber deliveries... grr... pics to come. lol
EDIT: It's after 4 pm. The driver has left multiple notices for other persons to pick up their packages at a drop off location x2 blocks from where I live. Apparently didn't even try to deliver mine... I had emailed UPS earlier and they said no problem as the parcel was on the truck and delivery should be on time... but it never showed up on the update screen that it was in the vehicle. That person better not be working tomorrow at the facility front desk or there is going to be a Kylo Ren happening.
Likely I'll be calm and fine tomorrow lol... but I am going to leave feedback.
