    *** Store #**** (Tehachapi, **) refuses to refund my deposit for a box application ($90.00) that was never approved on 7/3/25. I went directly the ************** office immediately where I was informed that they don't forward mail to PMBs like The UPS Store. So, I went directly back to *** Store #**** and was informed that they would contact the store manager for approval of my $90.00 refund (3 Months box rental @$30 per) and get back to me - THEY DIDN'T. I followed up this morning 7/7/25 at 8:00 AM and the claimed Asst. ******* refused my deposit request (she was the only employee there at the time). Again, the application for the box rental was never approved (the $20.00 non-refundable application fee is NOT being contested). Of course, I wasn't given a box key (box 287) on 7/3/25 because the application had just been submitted and hadn't been approved. During my follow-up visit this morning (7/7/25) the Asst. **** offered me "another key" as if I'd been given a key previously - A Direct Lie which was dishonest, unethical and unprofessional.**** ***** ************** ****************

    TALKING ABOUT A RESOLUTION, "making it right", "looking into the matter", APOLOGIZING FOR THE TRANSGRESSION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE "RESOLUTION" IN MY MIND! RESOLUTION TO ME WOULD BE A LAWFUL, LEGAL REFUND OF MY $90.00 IN ORDER FOR ME TO CLOSE THIS COMPLAINT - INSTEAD OF TAKING IT TO HIGHER AUTHORITIES. THERE'S SIMPLY NO MORAL, ETHICAL OR LAWFUL REASON TO DENY MY $90.00 REFUND REQUEST!

    Thank You for your consideration and timely response.

    Sincerely,

    This delivery was supposed to be made on June 27th, I even paid an extra $30 for it to be delivered by that day. I paid $886 for this package and it was extremely important that I receive it on June 27th which is why I paid extra and *** committed that I would receive this package on that date. I was told based on the app that this package would be delivered by 4pm on June 27th. At around 6 the package had still not been delivered and *** has made zero attempt to correct it. When I called their customer service representative Max on June 27th at 6:24PM he lied to me twice, first saying that an attempt was made at 10:11 AM on June 27th when one never was (there was no tag left in my building lobby and the app said the package arrived at the Maspeth *** at 3:11 PM so how on earth could an attempt to deliver to my home have been made 5 hours before that?). He then lied and said they "planned on making an attempt but never did because I "changed my delivery address" when ALL I DID WAS ADD THE APARTMENT NUMBER TO MY ADDRESS. Contacting *** as a corporation is absolutely useless and contacting the Maspeth store is almost as useless. The lack of transparency when dealing with my package was absolutely atrocious. I can almost guarantee an attempt wasn't even made to deliver this package to me. This was an extremely important gift for an extremely important person and the damage this delayed delivery has cost is irreparable. The website still has not updated the status of this delivery as you can see on the screenshot I uploaded. This is an absolutely disgusting company to handle your package, and their lack of urgency or transparency is reprehensible.

    I paid $33 for 1 day delivery of a letter sized envelope. The link I was given for tracking didnt work, so I called to inquire. I was then told that not only was the package not delivered, but that I was "not eligible" for a refund. WHY DO I HAVE TO CONSENT TO SHARE MY INFORMATION TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT??????

    On 6/24/25, at approximately 11:30am ET, I entered *** Store #**** to open a mailbox. I provided two forms of identification in the form of my current lease agreement and my drivers license. I am here visiting for 3 months and I have an out of state drivers license. The representative said that the address on my drivers license needs to match the address on my lease and refused to open a mailbox for me. This is impossible, as I am only here for 3 months and will not be changing my drivers license just to open a mailbox. They stated that this is a requirement by the **** in order to complete the form 1583. This is a flat out LIE. Im very familiar with the form 1583 and it clearly states the following: ..confirm that the applicant resides or conducts business at the home or business address listed in boxes 7 or 10, and that the identification in box 8 is VALID. Hence my provided lease agreement is entered in BOX 7 and my NON-EXPIRED and VALID DRIVERS LICENSE from OUT IF STATE entered in BOX 8. This locations refusal to open a mailbox for me is a flat out violation of my right to be free from discrimination and right to privacy! Unfortunately, this location is also the closest and most convenient one for me to get to at the moment. Additionally, I have opened up TWO other *** mailboxes for both business and personal use in other locations with out of state IDs and have ZERO issues! This leaves a horrible tarnish on my relationship with *** and makes me think twice about using them in the future! However unfortunately, I need a mailbox so that I can conduct my personal affairs accordingly.

    Good day,I am writing to you regarding a very unprofessional experience I had at the UPS store #**** on June 14th, 2025 at 3:47pm. There were 2 male employees that displayed very rude and unprofessional behavior. As I prepared my Amazon returns the pair began laughing and making rude remarks. One even went so far as to put his head down on the computer for a matter of time. I have never been so offended and feel you should be notified as to how your employees are treating your customers. It appears that they do not value your patrons or their jobs, as at many places such behaviors would constitute termination of employment on the spot. I have video footage I took with my cell phone camera that they were too aloof to notice me taking. I hope you are able to view my video and perhaps your store camera in order to speak to them about proper employee behavior. Feel free to reply to this email if any further information is needed. Warm Regards,(Un)Valued Customer

    I had 7 packages shipped through *** and 2 of them say delay for no apparent reason for several days. There is no movement on the packages for over a week. I contacted *** and was connected with an oversees agent who told me I need to cancel the labels.I am astonished at the level of incompetence that exists at this company and the type of employees that they hire to do a job.The packages were very large packages and there were not a needle size packages to be lost.I need the packages located and delivered as addressed.This is ridiculous to tell a customer to go ahead and cancel a label after *** takes possession of packages and the tracking data shows delayed. I need the packages found as soon as possible and delivered.

    Two days ago my wife dropped off a package in the morning and paid over $100 for overnight delivery to our daughter in **. But the UPS store sat on the package until 5:44pm before handing it off to *** (the shipping company) we'll past the 4pm cutoff. As a result the package was delivered a day late. No apology. No responsibility. No refund or even a partial refund to reflect the 2 much lower 2 day delivery price. The guy literally said he doesn't care why our package is late. If you need a package delivered on time, go to anybody else.

    *** store **************** #**** I was told a package would be $1100 to send. I went in, in person as well as an email an hour after I left. This package has to be insured for $22,000. I'm a professional Canon Member and I can only insure $10,000 through my job which we use *** and are a professional shipping facility. This lens was a loaner from ***** which had to be received by Monday June 2nd. Or Im liable for the full $22,000. In the store I was treated unprofessionally and rude. I asked was there any other options the lady looked at me like I was bothering her. She said thats the only option. She tried to make me pay before leaving. I decided to go home. Upon going. Home a hour later seeing the owners email. I explained my package is 26x15x14 16lbs and needs $22,000 insurance. He said my measurements dont make sense to him itll be $1100. I then went to ****************** store. (Great Store) They were able to ship it for $700 less!! $700!! Super nice very professional and caring. Even next day air the price wasnt even close to $1100 not even $600 I then reached out to a lens rental company and they verified they would never charge anywhere near that. The store is spotless and well organized. So I wrote an email to the Huntington store Im on the line for $22,000 lens, thanking them. I wrote a review essentially what I told you. The store is pretty dirty faded paint etc. The professionalism from the other store was outstanding. This store could thrive if it followed these store practices. The owner responded stating its impossible its $700 less. My review is taking away customers. He then flagged it to hide it from view. I was about to pay the $1100 which is 214% increase from what I ended up paying. Other ****** reviews show prices were higher than advertised. The photos are the stores email, chat gpt of cost my ****** reviews and the email I wrote to the good store. Im not sure what the resolution should be, but I would have been robbed of $700.

    I went to the UPS store today, the 16th, to return an Amazon item. It clearly says on the Amazon site that it is a no level k*** box, but the *********** employee said that I had to buy the box and that I could not return it unless I bought it. However, I clearly returned the exact same item to the UPS store on *************** a week ago and the employee accepted my return without any issues, but the *********** employee here?
