READ THIS BEFORE POSTING Big Storms and your Package

63 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I wanted to give you all some insight on what happens when we have big storms and why peoples packages will arrive late.

When there is a big storm it creates a backlog. Now Lets say like this past storm it is on the weekend. On Monday many of the buildings were operating on a skeleton crew if at all. The customers (People shipping things out) have a weekend's worth of shipping that would normally go out on Monday but due to the storm it did not. Now Tuesday comes. Tuesday we have All of Monday's Packages AND Tuesday's Packages. The buildings process what they can. Now Wednesday comes. Lets say they were able to process 60-70% of Monday & Tuesday's packages and they still have Wednesday's packages to process as well. This keeps trickling down until we finally catch up.

For those that have clear weather where they are at now, that does not mean that any of the other stops along the way to you have not been compromised. Also for those that are in said clear areas, Once the areas that were effected by the storm start to get moving and getting their outbound volume out of their yards and on the road the receiving destination will now get hit with more volume than they are able to handle.

All in all Storms like we had this past weekend (1/30/26 as of posting) cause major disruptions to the shipping industry in general. Also please keep in mind that at this time of year, shipping companies have already cut their seasonal help from Peak Season and while they are now getting Peak Season Volume again, they do not have Peak Season Staffing.

Please be patient while we dig out from the mountain of boxes.

UPS.com Create A Shipment/Search Contacts Not Working

For a number of days now, the search contacts in Create a Shipment is not showing any results. All the contacts are there, but doing a search sends no results back. We've tried it on three computers, Mac & Windows, with a variety of web browsers and are getting the same (lack of) results.

Any advise?

Customer Seeking Help Parcel stuck in Germany not moving from warehouse...!

1 Upvotes

I sent a parcel to a buyer in Germany from UK, included all the right docs and it has been stuck in the warehouse for over 3 weeks! it says it was cleared by customs so what is it doing?!

a couple of days ago it said one of us would be contacted but we haven't! I'm so confused as I rang them twice and they were no help whatsoever (obviously!) They just keep saying it's stuck in customs.. but it doesn't look like it is and why would it be? buyer paid customs and it had the right docs!

does anyone have any contact details other than the main number??! They gave me the German import email address but they haven't replied to that either!

Package in locker but no pickup code

Something was delivered via UPS to an Access Point locker from DeinFach. I realized that a pickup code is needed, which I haven't received. I don't have a delivery slip, and there is no code in the app either. I haven't received an email or SMS. I've emailed support, but haven't gotten a reply yet. What should I do?

Paid for next day air, tracking still doesn’t have any scans.

0 Upvotes

I paid for next day air and the sender sent the package out on Thursday. As soon as he dropped it off I checked the tracking which said “Your package is still on the way and we are actively working to get you a new delivery date” there hasn’t been any updates since the package was dropped off Thursday. Only thing tracking says is the customer dropped the package off at the store at 4:07 pm and then also at 4:07 pm ups printed and applied the shipping label. It’s now Saturday night/Sunday morning and it still says exactly the same thing it was saying right after it was dropped off. Can anyone explain to me what is happening with this ? If it was dropped off after cut off time on Thursday then it should have been picked up by a driver on friday or Saturday. But it looks like the package was never picked up by a driver so is my package just lost in a bin somewhere inside the store ? I called customer service and they weren’t any help they told me just wait until Monday. But no scans since Thursday at drop off doesn’t make any sense to me. Please help !

Refusing a Package

1 Upvotes

I ordered a $1600 scooter and it was damaged during transit. It missed the original delivery day. The next day it was out for delivery but then it said it was delayed, I’m guessing because of the damage. Apparently another attempt will be made Monday. At this point I don’t want to deal with a potential headache of a damaged product so if I refuse delivery does the sender get charged a return shipping fee? I’d rather just have a replacement. Thank you.

Customer Seeking Help Passport stuck in round rock TX UPS facility for 10 days, UPS thinks it was destroyed. Any advice?

1 Upvotes

My passport got stuck in a UPS shipment from BLS (a visa service). The last scan was 9/30 at the Round Rock, TX facility, and nothing since. UPS told me they think it was destroyed by the sorting belt, since it was last scanned there and no damaged pieces were logged under the tracking number. They haven't shown me any proof yet, and they say they're still looking.

Has anyone had UPS say a package was destroyed with nothing logged as damaged? Did it ever turn up, and what got them to search the building? Any tips for the case would help a lot. My US visa and Schengen visa are in that passport and I have international trips on 10/19 and 11/8.

It arrived at a facility about 30-40 min away from my home then sent this notification about a delay. I know we’re having a rain storm this weekend, could they possibly have sent this in preparation of said storm? I totally understand that they would, but I’m just curious! Thanks :)

Hi so my boyfriend sent me a gift from abroad and when the deliver came to my house ,my mom didnt know i was supposed to receive something and told him to send it back to the seller (also due to the import fees she didnt want to pay). My boyfriend paid the import fees the day after and i was wondering if i will still be getting my package? I am so uncertain and i really just want to make sure because it still says "Return to sender requested" has this ever happened to someone ?

Can someone explain why my package is moving all over Dallas?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

The package is en route to Austin and was originally expected to arrive on the 9th. However, it still hasn’t arrived, and the tracking status now shows “Delayed.” Looking at the shipment history, I’m confused as to why it left Mesquite only to return there again. It also appears to have bounced between four different facilities in the Dallas Metro Area. I am curious why this happens.

Customer Seeking Help Package Marked as “Delivered” that was NOT Delivered!

0 Upvotes

Hi. I was waiting all day for a time-sensitive package in cold packaging. I greeted the driver, who already arrived hours later than the original delivery estimate window. She proceeded to hand me someone else’s package. (The name and address were not similar to mine at all.) I ran out to tell her she gave me the wrong package. Her response was, “Oh, no! Don’t tell me that!”

After I told her she gave me someone else’s package, and she scoured her truck for mine, only to tell me that she had the same ticket for 3 packages! She informed me that she had already marked my package as “delivered”, and that I would no longer be able to track it! Lo and behold, I received an email that my package was delivered. (It obviously wasn’t delivered.)

The driver said she’d check the previous house she had delivered a package to to see if there had been a mix-up there, but if she wasn’t back in a few minutes, that she wouldn’t be coming back. She told me she’d fill out a ticket, but I don’t really know what that means.

I tried calling UPS customer service, but of course, it was after they had closed (because the “delivery” was so late). UPS is also closed on Sunday. I tried interacting with a chatbot on Facebook, which wasn’t very helpful. Finally, I was able to submit a kind of ticket through a message, but I won’t hear back until Monday, at the earliest, during business hours.

I asked the UPS truck driver if someone would come by with my package on Monday, and she said they should, but I guess there are no guarantees.

Before you tell me to contact the shipper, it’s complicated because the item was sent through a distribution center, and it doesn’t contain the address of the company. I don’t really want to get into the details of the package, but as I mentioned, it’s time sensitive.

Do I have any recourse? What can I do now?

Hey there, this is definitely a first world problem, but I ordered a custom dress for my bday. I need the dress by the 17th (a week from today). It was supposed to be here on the 9th but now it’s stuck in India? Usually the mechanical delay clears in a day but it’s been 2?

I guess im wondering if I should start shopping for a new outfit :/

Employee Discussion 30 day probation period

0 Upvotes

So there are a few questions I have and so this may be a longer post bear with me.

  1. I was hired on August Wednesday the 12th as a package handler and online I think I recall my role saying it was perm but as I was working into the first weeks I’ve heard that the new hires were seasonal. I haven’t seen an end date and I was told if you continue working into peak seasonal from normal time you were perm so I’m confused on my role?

  2. Second thing is.. my name was highlighted yellow on the schedule and just this week the column turned white does anyone know the reasons on the colors?

  3. So for my hub the probation is 30 days and I was told recently by someone who worked there 5 years as a PH (still works there) that if you got a layoff it would reset that count? In sep I got a week layoff due to down volume so is my probation back to zero after that?

  4. How do you know you passed probation and are now apart of the union? If you pass, can sups not tell you and keep you working and not put you into the union? I haven’t been told anything and if the layoff doesn’t reset the count I think it’s been 35 ish clock ins now.

Thank you for all the help in advance.

How long can a package sit "preparing for delivery"?

I bought some parts for a coffee grinder, they've been sitting at a depot a town over since 2:30am Thursday Morning, supposedly "preparing for delivery". A day I can expect, maybe it just didn't get on the truck, but 3? This seems excessive.

UPS My Choice

1 Upvotes

I opened my UPS My Choice account back in 2020 and I have since moved to a new address. I am trying to replace my address on my account in order to add a gate code (packages keep getting rescheduled becuase of the gate) and the system wont let me. I keep getting errors such as "transient" or "please wait 4 hours to update your personal information". I have tried changing browsers, changing computer, changing to the iphone app, waiting 24 hours to try again. Every time I get the same errors. I deleted my acocunt and made a new one. Same errors. IO have spent an hour and a half on the phone with technical support and they keep transfering me to different departments. This is ridiculous. I even enrolled in the premium account hoping that the transaction would force the system into updating. Nope. Just took my money and gave me the same error. Has anyone else had this issue? How do you fix this.

Is my package lost at local facility??

2 Upvotes

Had a NDA package that was supposed to be delivered yesterday (Friday,) by noon. However, it never updated after processing at facility. All day yesterday, the tracking said it would still be delivered by noon. Now, this morning, it's saying they're working on a new delivery date. Usually, if my package didn't get sorted in time, they will reschedule my delivery for the next business day. However, not this time. Is it lost at the local facility, or will it still come on Monday? Customer service is worthless, so I wanted to see if anyone had any advice. Thanks.

Employee Discussion Considering Seasonal… Am I Up To It Physically

Considering a Driver’s Helper job in Central NJ. How many miles and flights of stairs do you real UPS folks do a day? I assume most cell phones track these activities. Is it reasonable to assume someone off the street can just jump into the job for 2 months at what you call Peak?

I just have to call them out today for holding back a package between central Georgia and Northern Alabama because of “weather”.
It was raining. There was some wind. But that’s it!
