This is really just to rant - anyone else who hates UPS feel free to join in. Basic idea is that I live in an apartment building - no doorman - every single other carrier (FedEx, USPS, DHL, etc.) will deliver to my building either without a signature or, if required, will respect a pre-signed letter taped to the door.
Not UPS. No, never UPS. So of course I didn't have high hopes for getting my iPhone on launch day despite pre-signing for it once I found out that Big Brown was going to be the carrier...
...And it came to pass. So I thought I would do the decent thing and ask for it to redeliver to a UPS store since I won't be home Monday or the rest of the week to sign for it either. For this privilege, I have to join UPS stupid "My Choice" program AND pay them $5 to redirect the package.
Did all of this - tracking then updated that the package would be delivered to the UPS store I chose yesterday end of day. I visited the store an hour before close despite not receiving a "delivered" confirmation, and nope...no package. Called the UPS number and it's still stuck in Secaucus of all god-awful places.
Now they're saying it will be delivered by end of day Monday - nonsense, I won't believe it until it's in my hand. And like I said, I paid $5 for this privilege!
So nothing against apple, and this is the height of #firstworldproblems - but seriously, UPS you are terrible. I have no idea why anyone uses you. I have never had problems with any other carrier, but with you I have problems EVERY SINGLE TIME.
DEATH TO BIG BROWN! Let's get out the pitchforks!
