My sister shipped my a package that was scheduled to be delivered on 1/16/2008. The contents of the package were a designer travel bag, and inside of the bag was about $200.00 worth of baby clothing that was meant to be my 8 month old daughter's Christmas gifts. My sister doesn't ship things often so she didn't get signature confirmation, also she knows that I am a stay-at-home-Mom and usually am home most of the day.

I was out strolling my daughter infront of my home on 1/16/08, and I was about 10 foot from my home as I see the UPS driver crossing the street to get back in his truck. I thought "great, my package has arrived!" ...Well I could see my front doorstep and see that there is no package on the steps. I immediately checked the bushes, the side carport, and the back of the house. I even checked under my SUV, nope--still no package. I then called my husband because I found this suspicious; my husband attempted to reassure me that surely the driver would be coming back later in the day, and that he probably just didn't want to leave the package in plain site. I waited until the end of the day, and still no package.

I tracked the package online and see that the driver marked it as "delivered" and the time was 2:48 P.M., which happened to be 3 minutes after I saw him get into his truck. At 2:48 P.M. I was searching my yard high and low for this package--so yes I had the right driver. I then called UPS and explained the story that I saw this driver with my own two eyes, and that in no way did he deliver this package. My husband even checked with our neighbors on both sides of our home, and nope--no package.

I called UPS again this morning, as did my sister who was the shipper. My sister made more progress with UPS and demanded they call the hub to speak with the driver or supervisor. Apparently the driver is sticking to the story that he delivered my package. He is a THIEF and a LIAR, and I will make it my number one priority to have him fired. I cannot believe UPS employs people like this. They claim they are doing an investigation and that could take up to 8 days. What is there to investigate when the customer is telling you they SAW YOUR DRIVER AND HE DID NOT DELIVER THE PACKAGE.

I will NEVER use UPS again. My husband is a power seller on EBAY and does TONS of shipping. Never again. I will not purchase online from people who intend to ship UPS either. This is unnacceptable! Who in the world steals from an 8 month old? 384fc0f

searching for the closest ups location (as that was the return label I received) I found a ups driver and asked where I can go to drop off my package. He quickly pointed out the closest drop box. He was even considerate enough to suggest I remove the sim card. Making the exceptional mistake of placing my galaxy note in a ups drop box and expecting it to get to Samsung for repair did cost and taught me a lesson I shall never forget. There was no initial scan which by the driver's perspective is the best way to steal someone's package. The investigation will always turn up as ups not being responsible for the package as there was no initial scan. Doesn't that work out neat. Man, if I was a grimy thief ups would be the very first company I would think of applying for a job. Hey, let' all apply for jobs at ups. We can steal back our losses! And right now I am seriously considering as ups, now to me, a filthy unregulated business with no regard to either customer information safety or customer satisfaction, needs to go out of business.

We just order the iPhone 5 cause they didn't have it in the store... We tracked it and it said it had been delivered... Ummmm no one even came to our house... We called UPS and all they told us to do an investigation is have the person who shipped it (sprint) to call them and then they could investigate... And now we are spost to do nothing but wait 5 to 8 buisness days to find out about it... To top it all off we saw a UPS truck on the way to the sprint store and it just so happened to be the driver that dropped it off... Funny how he couldn't remember where he had left it just a bit ago... When asked for his info he wouldn't give us any and has to follow him to get his truck number and license plate number... I'm sorry but that motherf*cker took it... He had guilty written all over his face... This is such ***...

Where am I from? Apparently - reading comprehension isn't your strong suit as it states Glendale, CA which is the Los Angeles area, ***. Additionally that is an extremely expensive area to live and the package was being delivered to Burbank, CA where the average home sales for $750,000. The contents of the package included a coach designer bag, designer children's clothes, a check, etc. Maybe you should brush up on your English before randomly replying to people. I see you're from Brookly though so that would explain a lot. :grin

Before you tell someone to brush up on their English, maybe you should learn how to use the proper words in the proper situation. Way to make yourself look like a tool when you call someone out.

To the person who is clearly missing a chromosome or two, if UPS drivers do not steal packages, then maybe you could explain to all of us here who have witnessed our packages being stolen, why UPS has a division dedicated to following their drivers around to ensure they aren't stealing packages? Why has UPS implemented GPS tracking on their drivers to ensure they are actually delivering the packages? BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE DRIVERS WHO ARE STEALING.

Some people are just not able to use logic at all.

I have a package that has been "sitting" in a delivery center in Pennsylvania for the last 3 weeks. I have made a claim and they are certainly taking their time to "investigate".
The contents? Oh, just my life. My cameras, my clothes, my coursework, my shoes, my GoPro that I never really got a chance to use. I don't know who stole it, can't point my finger at anyone. However, UPS needs a better designed system to make sure the packages get to their intended destination. Security cameras on the trucks?

A ups driver stole my phone i was shipping. A samsung transform ultra. Samsung told me to ship it via ups and sent me a shipping label. I put my package in a drop box and it never got scanned. The driver stole my package!!! What can i do to get it back? thats what i asked them and they said nothing. so I am suppose to just sit back n do nothing??? This is ridiculas!!! Can i sue them in small claims court even though they didnt scan my package? Sorry for any typos im so upset because i spent my last on my phone and i am not working so that is the only way besides email that employers can get in contact with me.

i waited on my lawn while ups guy got my package from the back of his truck. there was a lot of noise and it took him a long time. when he handed me my 14lb package it was light as a feather. i told him it felt light but he just shrugged and drove away. it had been opened, retaped and package slip torn away. contents missing. ups is supposed to contact me tomorrow with investigation. isn't this a federal offence??

Pretty sure "most UPS drivers are thieves" is extreme hyperbole. I've never had any trouble with UPS anywhere or seen a significant number of complaints about packages being stolen. And they're a *** of a lot better than any of the alternatives where I live. I'm sure there are some bad apples in ever carrier's employ.

The UPS Driver scanned that my package was delivered. I tracked this package all day when I seen it was delivered less than 5 mins. later I was at my door, and no package. I tracked it 5 mins later NO package. I called my property manager and he stated the driver said he could not find the building but should be up there in a few minutes because he gave him direct instructions. I waited and waited and still no package. Finally I realized this driver stole my package. A neighbor said he saw the driver looking around two buildings over but put the package back in his truck. The item I was having delivered was one of kind and no more of these items are available. It was for my son. After 3 hours of tracking this package I had to come to grips that I driver kept my package for himself. UPS DRIVERS ARE ALSO THIEVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered from Amazon.com. The item shipped 2 day air VIA UPS. Somehow Amazon sent it to the wrong address, and UPS tracking said it was delivered, and under comments put left at front door. So I went to the address where it had got mistakingly sent to. There was no such house number on that street. So I called UPS and said how is my package marked delivered to a house that doesn't even exist? And how can a package be left on a front door step at a house that is not even there. I then asked *** come I never got a call? It doesn't take a genius to realize there isn't a such address on the street.

First I blame Amazon for writing out the wrong address on the shipping label. Secondly I blame ups for allowing their driver steal the package. Ups is a headache to deal with.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that if there isn't a house or even a building or even an empty lot at that address how can u leave a package on the front door? The address went from 816, 818 and 830. No 828 on that street. What a joke.
