UPS Breaks, Steals Computer.

consumerist.com — Nick paid the UPS store in Woburn, Massachusetts $600 to ship his computer with insurance to and from England. UPS smashed the computer somewhere along the way and insisted that Nick would need to wait 4-6 weeks for a decision on his claim. After a month, Nick called the UPS store and was told that they needed additional documentation.

    • bingobongony, on 04/14/2008, -4/+3You probably ARE the only one. Because most people didn't trust them LONG before that incident.
    • daiguitar, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4Doesn't change that fact that UPS is a piece of ***** carrier. I refuse to ship and have others ship to me using UPS.
    • karan1003, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2not all of what they say is crap
    • CryRightardCry, on 04/16/2008, -1/+2Yeah, only morons discount them completely for one wrong story that was immediately corrected.
      Dumbass.

  • apolloae, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3If anyone says anything about using the "power of teh internets" to get the guy a new computer...*facepalm*
  • bingobongony, on 04/14/2008, -2/+9I can't wait to read this article from Comsumerist. I am sure they thoroughly researched it, getting UPS's side of the story before doing something irresponsible by osting this!
    • WoollyMittens, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3You'll get nothing but boilerplate from them.
  • hemnathacharya, on 04/14/2008, -2/+13this is ridiculous... a story is popular after 1 day and 10 hour with just 30 freaking diggs.. i never saw this. i now seriously doubt DIGG algorithm
  • MetalCharms, on 04/14/2008, -2/+733 diggs and frontpage?
    It must be consumerist!
  • Jus7in, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Just wait a couple of days and they'll be apologizing to UPS...
    • AussieFox, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1With a sarcastic sounding email about how "Delivering stuff is awesome"
  • CarnivalOfDust, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Internet - not your personal army! Everyone goes crying to the Consumerist, it heads to Digg, Reddit, Slashdot, we do the dirty work.
    • passedoutghost, on 04/14/2008, -0/+0So when some ***** happens to you, we're not going to help.
  • eavesdrop, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9I don't trust consumerist anymore. They've lost their credibility.
    • ecidnac, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1They're more trustworthy than UPS, but that's not saying much.
  • mauriceh, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Actually, I suspect this story is true.

    Dealing with UPS claims department can be a horrible experience.

    Where I work we have a policy. When notified by a suppliers that they shipped an order to us by UPS, we send them this notice:

    "If you ship to us by UPS we consider the shipment to be lost.
    Please reship by a reliable carrier .
    We thank you for your co-operation, and sympathize with you for this error"

    If you and I had all day I could tell you some amazing UPS stories..
