Useless Parcel Service

Man I hate UPS. There's always something with them.

A couple of weeks ago they were supposed to deliver something and even though I left a note on the door upstairs for them to deliver around the back, the UPS dumbfuck ignored it and delivered it upstairs. Lucky for me the upstairs neighbours were home, so it wasn't an issue, but on Tuesday they tried to deliver something and there was nobody home upstairs. The second attempt was yesterday, and even though I know there were people home all day (I could hear them), somehow UPS managed to mark it as undeliverable again. I swear they only ring the doorbell for a mere fraction of a second before quickly filling in the paper and running off back to their truck. The UPS guy didn't even leave my Amazon package, and that certainly didn't require signature confirmation.

The UPS center's opening times also aren't that convenient either... especially not when you crash in the late afternoon for a nap thanks to an insomniac child keeping you awake all night.

So today I tape up another sign upstairs, and hopefully they'll actually read it and follow the instructions and deliver our damn packages.

We never get these problems with FedEx.

Not only do they leave valuable packages at the door, they'll even leave packages that require signatures at the door, without even getting said signatures. I swear it's completely optional that they collect the signatures.

I think the only reason so many people use UPS is because it's a bit cheaper than FedEx, but christ... they're so much worse.
