I, midnite_tiki, do hereby swear I will never use UPS, nor will I ever purchase from a retailer that uses their service for parcel delivery. It appears my Shag mugs are in the ether, lost or unaccounted for, and my new Shecky and Uncle Shrunk from Munktiki have been on the driver's truck 7-8 times and no actual delivery attempts ever made.

Today, I saw "our" UPS driver deliver a parcel to the business next door, roughly 4:15 pm, and then drive away. This, on a day that involved numerous discussions with UPS's administration office about undelivered parcels to our very address. The driver submitted an entry in his log that he attempted to deliver our parcel at 4:25 pm. Alas, no one was available heer at #204. The unforunate part is I watched him deliver the aformentioned parcel and drive off. No ringing of my door buzzer, no "we missed you slip". Oops, caught in the act of omission.

I even talked to the very driver later at UPS hq. When confronted with this inconsistency his effort to CYA was that the other parcel for the business next door was a leftover, and that he had "actually" been by my place earlier in the day. Oops, wrong answer, Jose. Caught in the lie, he asked why did I not come running down the stairs if I saw him?

UPS remains in business I do not know how. Unfortunately, Munktiki and Tiki Farm both use UPS. We will be contacting Holden and Stuckie about this, they may have have been charged for extra shipping becasue of this fiasco.

Three separate parcels never delivered, returned to sender, or lost. All in the scope of 2-3 weeks. We fear what they wil do with the parcel containing Shecky, but nothing will be accepted without checking the contents.

UPS is the worst. This is the latest, and last, episode of many I have had with UPS incompetence. The USPS does a yoeman's job in comparison to the idiocracy of UPS. No more UPS, ever.
