3/7/2023 0 Comments Ups pickup packages![]() Monday afternoon, after trying and failing several times to set up a UPS acct ( they kept rejecting the UN and/or PW for n valid reason concerning their rules). It was still on the door when I got home Wednesday from work. UPS left me another package but Not my iPhone…just a second sticky note and I signed it a left it on the door. Tuesday, they left another sticky on the door. ![]() There’s no way I could’ve gotten over there the next day bc I worked too far away. If I wanted my new iPhone Monday evening, I’d have to drive 50 miles round trip and pay $7.99 and it May or May not have made it back to their main facility at the airport yet. ![]() I called UPS, got someone that barely spoke English.she kept wanting $7.99 to even talk to me about any delivery information. On Monday 17th I went to an appt on my day off work only to find a sticky note from UPS on front door that a Signature was required and they would re-attempt tomorrow. I ordered a 1 TB iPhone 14 plus over a month ago, was informed it would be delivered Oct 20 ( I was given No Choice concerning delivery carrier/date/options).

Great! Read this first to help ensure it gets approved. I’m willing to pay the $9.99 for one shipment to see how the system works before forking over $20 per year for a service other carriers provide for free. For me, I can’t see how it’s cost-effective for UPS to send drivers to houses where the people are not home to leave sticky notes on their front door instead of dropping off a package at its company stores. If you’re frequently traveling and getting packages delivered to the house while you’re away, the price might be worth it. You can also upgrade UPS SurePost packages so they don’t get handed off to the USPS. You can get packages delivered on another day, delivered to another address, or use a UPS Access Point location. By upgrading to the UPS My Choice Premium package for $19.99 per year, you control how your packages get shipped. There is a way to not have to pay for rerouting each package. But if you’re not home, how can you get the number from the sticky note? You can input that bar-code number into the UPS website to tell them to hold the delivery. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until UPS attempts to make a delivery and leaves one of those sticky notes on your door. At the bottom of the screen, there’s a place to enter your payment information.Įvery package that UPS delivers to an alternate drop-off point while your away will cost you $9.99. UPS lets you tell them that you’re not going to be home over a certain time period and where to deliver packages for you to pick up when you get home. ![]() But what if you’d want to pick up the package at the UPS Store when you get home? You’re also supposed to be able to tell the driver to leave a package with your neighbor. With the basic account, you can track deliveries and get a notification when they’re delivered. That’s no longer the case and if you want to re-route a scheduled delivery, you have to pay. Previously, anyone with a UPS My Choice account could reschedule deliveries or get them sent to a local UPS Store or pickup point for no charge. Since writing that post, UPS has changed its policies, and changing a scheduled delivery will cost you a significant amount. I previously wrote about how to delay or hold shipments from USPS, UPS, Fedex and Amazon. Now that we’re leaving our homes more, maybe for days at a time, there’s a greater chance that deliveries are scheduled for when you’re not home. If you’re always home, you’re not going to miss when the driver arrives. Therefore, it wasn’t that important to know how to delay shipments. That’s because we’re spending more time in front of a computer screen and getting items shipped means less peopling and a decreased chance of catching COVID-19. During the pandemic, we’re getting things delivered to our homes more often than before. ![]()
