Missed 3 Delivery Attempts by UPS
Posted On 03/15/2008 02:52:33 by Nicolay

I purchased a battery off eBay, to replace the one in my aging laptop. I asked that it be shipped to my dad's apartment, since he's nearly always home. Well UPS tried to deliver it - THREE times! And for one reason or another, my dad missed it. One day, he was taking his car to a garage. Another day, he said, he was taking a nap (he wears ear plugs when he sleeps).

Well, attempt 3 was the final attempt. I can't get in touch with UPS today, it being a Saturday. I checked their website, and it seems they tried to deliver on Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday! Why the hell did my dad not tell me sooner?! It also says that they're going to return it to the sender. I'm so frustrated, angered and scared by this. I was really looking forward to that battery! And it didn't exactly come cheap.

Anyone experience this before? Anyone know what to do?

It is standard for UPS to attempt delivery 3 times on a package until it is sent back. Hopefully they had not sent it back Friday night, and it is still sitting at the local UPS hub. Either you need to find out where it is, and go to the hub as early as you can on Monday and hope they still have it. Or you may want to call UPS early Monday morning, and if they still have it, ask if they will hold it for you and that you'd come pick it up.

Their number is 1-800-PICK-UPS. Keep pressing 0 to get through the menus and you'll eventually get a person.

I've had that happen, but I'm pretty sure UPS lied.

Isn't there a way you can have UPS hold your package at the hub so you can pick it up?
