I HATE *#@**&* UPS...

or at least the ASS assigned to my complex. The problem is that it takes days and numerous phone calls to locate and get my packages. I never had a problem till moved into this apartment. The incompetent moron that delivers here can't seem to figure out how to fill out the notices that UPS often leaves and when he does finally deliver a package he mouths off and the so-called supervisors do nothing about him.

It started last spring...he would never leave my stampin up shipments or my monthly club scrap shipment. It didn't matter how many times I signed the release for the package to be left or left notes to please leave the package either at my door or the office. Every time I came home to another delivery notice where the moron had checked all the boxes (lot of good that does in planning to be home or whatever).

Good luck finding a number on the UPS website where you can actually talk to a human! But, somewhere along the way I got lucky and got the name and number of a rep at the Stafford distribution center (which is now on my fridge). Every time there was a notice I would call to find out if the driver was still in the area and to ask that he please be redirected at that point to deliver--sometimes it worked, most often it didn't.

The driver would always claim that no one was at the office when he attempted to deliver the package. I would ask what time the attempts were made and was always told the driver said all different times. At which point I would point out that the office is only closed one hour each day, at the same time unless there is an emergency. So how is it he's supposedly attempting to deliver at all different times but no one is ever there according to him.

The final straw was when it took a week to get my last stampin up and club scrap shipment (i dropped SU and cancelled CS because I was tired of fighting to get my stuff). It was Friday evening and I was told he would deliver by 6:15pm....and he finally showed up at 6:30pm. I so wanted to say something to him but I bit my tongue and then he commented that he 'usually delivers to my office'....at which point I told him, no he did not...so he tells me that I should have my packages delivered to my office. I tell him no, that is not possible and he proceeds to tell me in a smart-assed tone that I should stay home then if I'm expecting a package. I could not believe what i was hearing and asked him to repeat himself...so he tells me to stay home. I informed if he felt I should stay home to wait on him that he could pay my bills and that I would be reporting him.

I held to my promise to report him and the supervisor apologized and assured me he would follow up with me--which he never did.

So today I come home to find a notice stuck to my kitchen window and once again the moron has checked all the boxes. I've called the distribution center but they couldn't contact the driver but I have been assured they will make certain he delivers the package tomorrow to the office--we shall see!

The package is my new camera and I was really hoping to have it tomorrow to take halloween pictures at work. Oh well, one more day won't hurt me....I just hope it's only one more day.
