I bought a fork on ebay not too long ago and the seller sent it UPS....I hate UPS

I check the tracking status today and usually it says "out for delivery" all day since i'm at work. I have to go pick it up tonight at the depot. Nope, today it says "delivered" signed for by Minagnelli. I dont know anyone with that name, none of neighbors have that name, now i'm stuck wondering where the hell the UPS guy delivered it to until I get home.

Do I have any repercussions if the fork disappears?

Damn UPS and their useless delivery guy

I had a frame delivered to a house a block away once. The house had the same number as ours but the street was different. Luckily the owners found me in the phone book and called to tell me my bike was there.

Yeah UPS sucks, you should have gone and picked it up yourself and brought it home. By the way they have insurance on all packages and will replace or refund the item. If only they'd stop shipping over a million packages a day this might not have happened. Try DHL, Fed-Ex or the USPS next time, there volume is way lower and I'm sure they wouldn't have lost your packages. Oh and I don't think the USPS has a replacement policy though. But hey, whatta ya gonna do.

I have gotten two UPS deliveries in the last few months that were not for me. Both had my name and address on them. There was a different address crossed out. The crossed out address was one number away from an old address of mine on a street that I lived on 10 years ago. It turns out that someone with the same name as mine now lives two housed down from where I used to live. Luckily, the second package (a birth certificate) had a phone number on it, so I could contact the person who ordered it. Turns out that he is also a cyclist, although a dark-side mountain biker.

I cannot figure out why UPS doesn't try to deliver to the original address before using the change of address from 10 years ago and delivering the package to me.

Now that I know that there are two of us with the same name, I will let UPS know that next time that they show up.

Personally, I think the retail UPS stores have degraded the quality of the product. Some of the people that I have worked with at those stores are not well trained. I have gone in with the identical item to the identical address and gotten vastly different prices..

Funny it's just the opposite where I am at...fed-ex is terrible, UPS is great.

If you're at work all day, why not have stuff shipped to you there?

I've found problems with all delivery companies, UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL.

For the price, UPS is the best. Cheap ground shipping, although its slow, and free insurance. I've had the most problems with USPS and FedEx. FedEx seems to have the best rate of successfully delivery but when they do screw up, good luck.

At least, such has been my experience.
