Our version in the UK is City Link, they know we close for dinner between 1-2 yet still try delivering, ourselves and our suppliers who use City Link have told them this in writing.  I dont get the good I need for work, next day they try same time then dont even bother to tell us or the people I purchase off that I need to now go and collect.

When you do go to collect you have to wait 20 mins before some shit comes to ask if your being seen to.  Seems like were being seen to well and truly if you ask me.

In the UK a lot of couriers have slapped an £18 fuel sur-charge due to fuel increases even though fuel prices have dipped recentley, so for eg,  £14.99 usual cost, now with an added £18 on top.  Double that for $ dollar's.

My old firm in the UK used FedEx... But we found BusinessPost much better, same as ANC also.

Also, if you're the one sending, check the local couriers, they usually do same-day, next-day nationwide (usually part of ANC)

It's only 6:30 ish there right?.. This time of year the end of delivering after 9 PM. You gotta think it's only a couple days before Christmas.

No, they cant do pickups after 7 but this time of year all of them are out late, including the other couriers (Fedex..etc). I didn't see any exceptions which is good. If it got missed or left in building it would have had an exepction scan on it. So I think you will get it soon... may be a bit later tonight though .

since they had to reschedule, therefore making it not three day select, who do i moan to get back the difference?
(seeing as three day costs virtually no more than overnight, and the difference is just greediness, i think i deserve this money back.)

You can try but if it's due to weather most likely not. If you call the vendor you may though.
The number is 1-800-pick-ups I agree though, I would expect the difference back.

i prefer fedex over ups, but they both are about the same honestly. actually ups is usally a bit faster then fedex, but ups quality  control sucks the big one, many times have i had a box come damaged

I haven't ever had any problems with any delivery company...  Other than this one UPS lady in town seems to think she can park her truck wherever she wants...  (i.e. middle of the road so that neither lane can get by or in my yard)  It always seems like the tracking info updates like two days after I get my package and is never close to real time.

Not likely..lol
The Diad that you sign on (or if he driver releases) transmits as soon as it is complete. Usually within 15 minutes you can see it online. As far as technology UPS is the most advanced. The board is not just for signing. It tells the driver not only how many packages he has today but also how many stops, where they are located, how to deliver them (Front door,backdoor,etc), the fastest order to go to the stops (based on time studies), where they are located in the truck, and how many are there for each stop. Everything is now streamlined for the moment you ship. For the most part supervisors do not even have to dispatch anymore. Computers can see the night before how many packages and where they need to be delivered to and add or remove the amount of drivers that building needs. If one driver is too heavy it moves it to the nearest driver automatically. Non of the other competitors have this kind of Tech. I know it doesnt mean much to the customer who just want's their shit, but this is how UPS had been "Big Brown" for over a hundred years.

hahah.  I think I might have been exagerating a bit...  Mostly I'm impatient and sit there at the computer hitting refresh over and over and over starting from the moment I order something and get the tracking number.  Then I get bored after about 12 hours and go do something else...  Then I forget about it.  THen I find a wet package on my back door that's been there for three days and I check the tracking info online again, because I think it's cool.

Random idea: RSS feed / email updates when status changes?  Then I wouldn't have to sit and hit refresh.

You can get emails when anything changes or if it was delivered .
You just have to register at UPS.com . At the bottom when you track a package you see this

Get Notified: Quantum View NotifySM
Log in or register to e-mail this page to up to three recipients. UPS can also notify you via e-mail when this shipment is delivered or if an exception occurs.
Log in
Register

It will send emails automatically.

Right.  I knew that.  Can I get a girl like this to deliver it?

Seriously though, I wish I could watch my packages being delivered via Google Earth.  I would probably just sit and watch them move down the road and then stare at the warehouse until it moves again the next day.

Close. Some Diads have gps's on them also so the supervisors can see them move. If everyone could see it though the drivers would have a hard time doing their job. Everyone would be chasing them down the road..lol

Relating to the incidents that you have said I habe a similar one.  I used Parcelforce back in the spring and it was the date it was due to deliver (according to the order tracking) and so my mum and I waited all day and it wasnt there by 6pm.

So I checked out on the doorstep and there was a "you weren't in note"

We were pretty pissed off as we had not left the house at all and the lazy cheek just couldn't be arsed to ring the doorbell. I mean the cars in the driveway and the TV was blaring, wtf!!!

It's always good to leave a note on the door if you are expecting it. If it doesn't need a signature tell the driver to leave it.
