I feel like a dog right now... (waiting for delivery) Update: Not a Fun Experience

Back the hell off. Reevaluate what's important in yours and quit trying to be morally superior to a forum full of strangers.

I agree. You are a paying customer and upset as a paying customer. As such, it is legitimate to consider the situation in those terms, and not necessarily its place in "the grand scheme of things." This is not a philosophy forum.

I was not even talking about those who knock and leave, but those who never come and lie about attempted delivery.

The shipper paid UPS to do a job (and the money really comes from the consumer). The consumer paid for delivery on the promised date, and for three real attempts, not two, not one. Thus fake attempts are also indirect theft.

There should be no sympathy for liars and thieves, or those who defend liars and thieves. If they lie and steal and do not do their jobs, they deserve to be underpaid -- in fact, they are overpaid.

Sometimes the product is not a phone but medication, although it is not up to UPS or the driver to judge what is important.

That said, I admit that it is hard work, probably unpleasant. But lying to get out of work that the customer has paid for should not be a legitimate option.

I don't think you get the point I'm trying to make. A lot of these guys are worked to the ground by UPS. The company itself needs to lift expectations a little bit to make it easier on the employees so they don't resort to such drastic measures to make it seem like they did their job. That's all. I'm not trying to justify them lying about an attempted delivery.

the wait wouldnt be so bad if my current phone wasnt held together by packing tape.

I ended up canceling my online order and going with "pick up in store"
Will never make the mistake of ordering from the Apple store near launch day, with China's national holiday falling right after.

perfect storm of no phone...
