Edit: I am fully aware this is government tariff charge not UPS itself. The amount people in the comment being sarcastic and rude is crazy to me…my question is 50% does not seem right. Not who is charging me.

Edit 2: yes I am aware of tariffs. What I am asking is why am I being charged 50%. 2 weeks ago I got product bought and shipped from china that had 12.5% charge.

So long story short….i bought a used PS5 pro from eBay for 800…I know it’s already expensive enough…but my problem is I’m being charged 445!!!!! And I can’t even refuse it because I will still be charge and I won’t get refund…I emailed [upsusgndpe@ups.com](mailto:upsusgndpe@ups.com) 3 days ago and haven’t heard anything…what are the chances they will correct it ? What can I do…even if the buyer accepts return somehow I’m still loosing money

READ THIS BEFORE POSTING Big Storms and your Package

60 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I wanted to give you all some insight on what happens when we have big storms and why peoples packages will arrive late.

When there is a big storm it creates a backlog. Now Lets say like this past storm it is on the weekend. On Monday many of the buildings were operating on a skeleton crew if at all. The customers (People shipping things out) have a weekend's worth of shipping that would normally go out on Monday but due to the storm it did not. Now Tuesday comes. Tuesday we have All of Monday's Packages AND Tuesday's Packages. The buildings process what they can. Now Wednesday comes. Lets say they were able to process 60-70% of Monday & Tuesday's packages and they still have Wednesday's packages to process as well. This keeps trickling down until we finally catch up.

For those that have clear weather where they are at now, that does not mean that any of the other stops along the way to you have not been compromised. Also for those that are in said clear areas, Once the areas that were effected by the storm start to get moving and getting their outbound volume out of their yards and on the road the receiving destination will now get hit with more volume than they are able to handle.

All in all Storms like we had this past weekend (1/30/26 as of posting) cause major disruptions to the shipping industry in general. Also please keep in mind that at this time of year, shipping companies have already cut their seasonal help from Peak Season and while they are now getting Peak Season Volume again, they do not have Peak Season Staffing.

Please be patient while we dig out from the mountain of boxes.

Just wanted to see if management in other buildings are being brutal with disciplines, there's a rumor going around my hub that any onroad that fires any driver gets a bonus, ive been written up for attendance 8/7 occasions got a 5 day, if you go over 9-5 one time you get written up the next day "even tho they are the ones violating us" just got a 1-day and there's Hella drivers on 5day or worker terms right now. Alot of harassment grievances. They use to be chill, we got a new building manager and they are just being so shit to everyone.

Customer Seeking Help Untrackable Imported Package

3 Upvotes

On October 9th, I purchased 3 Nintendo DS Games, 1 Strategy Guide Booklet, and 2 Pin-Back Buttons as a single package from a Japanese eBay seller. The package’s total value was $197.95. On October 10th, the package was shipped out from Japan by Yamato Transport. The order on eBay did have an error in having FedEx assigned as the shipper, but the seller let me know far in advance about the error and that FedEx had nothing to do with the shipment. On October 14th, the package’s Customs Clearance was completed.

Then on October 21st an attempt to deliver this package was performed by UPS. Up to this point, I had no idea UPS was involved. I had not received any email about them having my package, nor did UPS or eBay provide me with a tracking number. I was also not informed of any import fees for the package. The package arrived between 7:40 and 8:00 PM that day. I was not home at the time, and the person that answered the door on my behalf was not able to pay the import fee in the required cheque or money order format. The fee itself was a little over $50.

Since then I have done what I can to find this package. I asked UPS for help directly with this matter, and they said I need to ask for the UPS Tracking Number from the seller. I did, but in the end, the seller clarified that they only knew about the Yamato Transport tracking number. I could ask Yamato Transport directly, but I’m afraid I will just be told to ask UPS again to provide a tracking number, which I’m sure is impossible, even if I provide my name and address. I also made sure to create a UPS account and purchase UPS My Choice Premium, to see if there was at least something related to the package that I could find. I inputted my name, address, phone number and email that are the exact same on eBay. No packages found in the “To Me” section. I’ve been waiting for 3 days so far for an attempted redelivery, but that’s probably not possible for this kind of package. Obviously if I attempt to ask about this package at a nearby UPS Store or Access Point without the tracking number, they will tell me that they can’t help me.

When I contacted the seller, they also told me that for the item to be returned to them, the seller would need to submit a request and pay for the associated fees. Therefore, the package wouldn’t be returned automatically.

So my question is, what is supposed to happen to this package?

$5.99 fee to pick up from access point after driver lied about deliver attempt

• Upvotes

So I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with UPS customer support trying to propose a solution to the issue they are having delivering my package.

I was home all day yesterday waiting for the package (requires signature). No doorbell ring. I found the tag on my door later. Video shows driver didn’t even ring doorbell. Today, tracking says attempt was made. It wasn’t. Video footage confirmed that.

But UPS will not waive the $5.99 fee for me to hodl this at the closest access point for me to pick it up and do their job for them.

Glad I sold the UPS stock I had. This company is trash.

UPS Worldwide Express Saver – Customs delay, no updates, and delivery date disappeared (Hong Kong to Canada)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m having a frustrating experience with UPS Worldwide Express Saver and wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.
I ordered an expensive car head unit from Amazon, shipped from Hong Kong to Quebec, Canada.
Here’s the timeline:

October 21: UPS picked up the package in Hong Kong.
October 22: Tracking showed customs clearance completed, followed by a customs delay.
October 22: Amazon tracking indicated the package had arrived in Brossard, Quebec.
October 23: UPS updated the status to “The receiver’s customs broker has been assigned. The shipment is now cleared to continue in transit.”
October 23: Original scheduled delivery date disappeared.
October 24: Still no updates, no estimated delivery date, and no confirmed physical location.

I’ve called UPS several times. Customer service keeps telling me the package is at customs and that I just need to wait.

What’s confusing is that the tracking says the shipment has been cleared, yet UPS representatives still mention customs issues.

I’ve already paid the import charges, and I specifically chose express shipping because I had an installation appointment scheduled.

Has anyone experienced this exact situation with UPS shipments from Hong Kong to Canada?

Does “cleared to continue in transit” mean the package has actually cleared Canadian customs, or could it still be sitting in Hong Kong?

Did your tracking eventually update, and how long did it take to receive your package?

Any advice would be appreciated!

I sent a package to someone, but it was delivered to UPS in New Jersey. It was supposed to arrive in Texas. What does this mean?

What should I do? Has this happened to anyone else?

question

I ordered something yesterday morning and paid extra for next day delivery. The package was shipped and has made it all the way to a tow about 45 minutes from me. The tracking is saying it won't be delivered until Monday though 😩. Is there any chance I will get it today? Or is there a way for me to contact them and ask them to hold the package and just let me come pick it up? I really needed it today otherwise I wouldn't have paid 40 dollars extra. 😭 I haven't ordered many things online so I don't know how this works.

No scans for an entire batch of mailed out items?

1 Upvotes

I ordered from a reputable company, and they said all their packages sent out yesterday didn't get scanned as dropped off or anything.

They always come through, I have no reason not to believe them.......does anyone else have something like this? I have no reason not to trust the sender after almost a year of business.

Customer Seeking Help Will I get my iPhone?

0 Upvotes

I’ll keep it short. Preordered the duo from Apple. Was scheduled for delivery on 10/23. I tracked it all day. I also had a package from Amazon pharmacy for delivery on 10/23. They happened to seem like they were on the same truck. Time window 1:15-3:15pm. At 3:01pm I received the Amazon delivery. At around 4pm, the iPhone tracking went to “almost there”. I was able to see the truck on the map, and all the way til 9pm it stayed as “almost there” until I saw the driver head back to the ups hub. At 10pm I got a delivery reschedule to Monday 10/26/26. The last package scan was at 9:21am on 10/23 as processed through facility.

UPS , snap de logica niet

UPS, pakje moet van Düsseldorf (D) naar Rijkevorsel, bij Turnhout(B) verstuurd worden, pakje wordt in Düsseldorf (D) opgehaald, is sinds vrijdag vroege ochtend in Eindhoven(NL), wat zeer kort bij en in rechte lijn ligt met Turnhout.

Pakje zou volgens tracking vandaag zaterdag geleverd worden, maar wat blijkt nu, pakje is van Eindhoven.....naar Brussel gegaan en zal nu volgende week Dinsdag geleverd worden.

Ik snap de logica niet...waarom kan pakje niet van Düsseldorf naar Brussel gaan of van Eindhoven naar Turnhout, kortste afstand?

Had a package “delivered” on 10/10 and I never got it. Opened a claim to which UPS allegedly investigated and determined the package was delivered. However, I was able to working with property management from my building and watch the front door video footage from 10/10 and UPS did not deliver packages that day. What are my options here?

Customer Seeking Help Apple forgot the Apartment number to shipping address

2 Upvotes

UPS tracking says that the package was not delivered due to missing apartment number and I need to fix it. I called Apple and the most they could do is send a message to carrier to add the apartment number. UPS clearly said that Apple needs to call the PCA department of UPS to add the number. Apple refused and just sent a message to them. Does anyone have any experience if this will work or they just did it to make me happy. UPS says it’s an Apple restricted delivery and they can’t add apartment number with my phone call.

Says it was going to be delivered today (23rd) at 1:35p-3:35p.. then a delayed notice but peep the last tracking update.. called UPS and they can't tell me why it's delayed at the facility. Only 2 things I can think of. There is an issue with my package or Trump flew into my city today for a rally and airspace was restricted. Still at this very moment the app still says “it’s running late but it’s still on the way”

Any Chance of Saturday Delivery Instead of Monday? UPS 2nd Day Air

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m in a pretty desperate situation and would appreciate any advice!
I shipped a package from Georgia (the country) to California through a third-party shipping company. It contains all my artwork, prints, and booth decorations for an exhibition happening October 23–25.
It was supposed to arrive October 19, but after multiple delays, UPS now estimates Monday, October 26, AFTER my exhibition ends.
The package is currently in Louisville, KY, and the service is UPS 2nd Day Air.
I called UPS, and an agent said Saturday delivery might be possible once the package reaches the LA facility, but the sender would need to request the change through UPS My Choice.
Unfortunately, the third-party company is the official sender, and despite contacting them multiple times and offering to cover ALL additional charges, they keep saying they can’t make the change.
My questions:
Is there any chance UPS could deliver it on Saturday, October 24, without an upgrade?
Could someone pick it up directly from a UPS facility on Saturday instead?
Is there ANY other way to arrange Saturday delivery without the sender’s involvement?
I’ve spent months preparing for this exhibition, and almost everything I need is inside that package. Even getting it on Saturday would save the remaining two days.
Is there still any hope? 😭 Any advice would mean a lot!

30 lb packages

1 Upvotes

I can order my three 30lb packages all at once, or spread them out so that they arrive across three days.

Would the driver prefer having to move them all at once, or would they prefer one per day?

Unfortunately I am not there when the deliveries happen, so I cannot ask them myself.
