Fucking UPS

[kevin7]

It has finally happened,ups opened a package I sent to kingbeefy and returned it to me for containing cigars. I re sent it usps today . WTF is wrong with a company that refuses to ship a legal product between 2 adults. I bet they missed tons of drugs and child porn and bio hazard material while they were foaming about my meager box of cigars . Fuck big brown

Did they open it at the store when you dropped it off or while it was en route?

Technically, UPS states that they won't ship cigars or alcohol. USPS will ship cigars, but I'm pretty sure they won't ship booze.

I went up to the USPS at work one time, and declared I was sending cigars to Canada, and the countermonkey had a 15minute meltdown. I was telling her the whole time that their policies don't prohibit it. I knew more on the subject than she did.

They have no problem with cigars hell when i ship at the PO they ask and i tell them.

I'm not now, nor ever have been a fan of UPS. They SUCK!

Prior to moving where I am now, I was living on an acreage 30 miles from the city I worked in (in another province). I had a PO box in the nearest town (10 miles away) as I was rural. I got a notice from UPS that I had a parcel. I called and was told they won't ship to a PO box. I said I'd pick it up and was promptly told, "You can't do that" I drove past their office every day to/from work so the next day I stopped in at lunch time and the dude on the counter told me pickups weren't allowed. I asked for his boss. The supervisor calmly told me the same thing. I explained my dilemma and asked how we were to resolve them handing over to me my property which I had already paid for. Finally after a few minutes he passed it over to me and whispered "Don't tell anyone"

Any time I order anything from the US and it's shipped via UPS, those bastards tag on a "brokerage fee" usually ranging in between $30 to $60. Which sucks enormously when the item you're having shipped is less than the "brokerage fee".

Why is it all other carriers, including USPS, can include the brokerage in the shipping fee but UPS doesn't. Oh wait, I know, it's because their a$$holes and they know they have me over a barrell and want to poke me repeatedly without benefit of lubricant, a kiss beforehand or even a freaking reach-around because if I want my item, I have to pay their extortion fee to get it.

So now, when ordering from the US, I ask beforehand who they ship with. If the answer is UPS, I ask to have it shipped via USPS, or any other carrier instead. If they can't or won't, I tell them "thanks but no thanks" and I go elsewhere with my business.
