UPS - "Delivery rescheduled"

Rudd · Mar 27, 2020

Has anyone else been getting this? I track a shipment, it gets to town, "out for delivery", then I get a "Delivery rescheduled, check back for delivery time". I have not seen a brown truck in town for over a week, but UPS says they are still running.

Business is down, they are cutting routes and overloading the remaining drivers

I receive this yesterday, FWIW.

thanks. One of two just came in a day late, no big deal. It was the second item I ordered.. ?
I had not seen that notice.
Usually when I get odd notices like that from them it means they delivered the package to Valhalla.

Terry Keeley · Mar 27, 2020

Yup, had a package delayed a week from L.A. to T.O.

WizardOfBoz · Mar 27, 2020

Amazon Prime has also massively changed their policy. They use to be "Free! Next Day by 10am!" or some such. Almost TOO fast. Dude, I don't need the 3 pack of socks delivered by your drone fleet.

I ordered a new laptop battery Tuesday. Should get here today. A days later I realized that all of my laptops (main, wife's, business spare) needed new batteries so I ordered two more. Wont' be delivered for a month. Not a big deal, but still....

GregSY · Mar 27, 2020

Amazon is offering a month for pretty much of everything...but they seem to be actually doing about a week.

UPS....the virus situation has caused them to lose control of their operations. They are taking measures to ensure that they do their best. Please do not confuse this reason they are sucking with all the other reasons they have used in the past for sucking. Sucking is what happens when you overload too few drivers in poorly maintained trucks. That's a constant.

Chip Chester · Mar 27, 2020

Their daily drill is probably tons of undeliverables because no one is at work, coupled with tons of extra residential commodity deliveries.

At what point do they become warehouse extensions, with un-deliverable packages that also can't be delivered back to the companies that shipped them.

GregSY · Mar 27, 2020

Friend of mine, 29 years as a UPS driver. Tells me there are very few businesses unable to accept packages. Home deliveries have gone up.

Some businesses are run by dicks (no surprise) who have implemented 'safety policies' that impose a burden on the drivers. For example, one place told the driver "We have to take your temperature before we let you in". Driver told them, "You're not taking my f'in temperature. Do you want your shit or not....'?

Other places have designated one person to be the receiver/signer of packages. Of course, that person always is 10 minutes away when the driver shows up, and the driver is expected to wait. Driver tells them, 'Do you want your shit or not....?'

My McMaster Carr order did not show up...... Wife buys dog food from Chewy.com. FedEx always delivers it overnight. She got a notice that her orders will now come in ten days to two weeks!

Guest · Mar 27, 2020

I am not surprised, people are probably buying everything they can online to stay out of stores. Pretty sure UPS, Fedex, and USPS are seeing a huge uptick in volume. From what I hear UPS does not like paying OT, so if a driver is running behind the route doesn't get finished.

I have yet to have anything delayed to me here, and just had a threshold ship from NJ yesterday appearing to be on time in transit now.

That is a real issue for them I will bet that I would not have thought about, at least they all have systems in place for the end of year increase in capacity. Maybe some of that will need to start to come into play for prolonged holding of packages. Hopefully people in shipping/receiving are going to start checking with the other end before sending packages out to help avoid that.

I always thought that driver was a salary position, and that is why some of them work hard to get done sooner while others drag their feet all day.

GregSY · Mar 27, 2020

They get paid by the hour. A driver who drags his feet will run afoul of the union/UPS agreement on hours and sooner or later be made miserable. Don't forget...UPS runs millions of stops a year and has a pretty good idea of how long it should take. If that's not enough, the drivers are all equipped with GPS so the bosses know if the guy stops too long at one place or takes too long to get somewhere. No more good old days of rushing the first ten stops so you can fornicate with the lonely lady on Pine Street for half an hour.

UPS doesn't like to pay overtime but they do it plenty. It's cheaper than hiring another warm body. Warm bodies bring with them dependents, insurance costs, etc.

UPS delivered my McMaster Carr order at 8:30 PM!

never yhoug that UPS coudl do such thing

roll maker · Jul 30, 2020

Yes we have. Delivery has been much slower. UPS volumes are definitely up. My local driver claims he is doing over 200 stops a day, up from 160 for a heavy day. I haven't seen a delivery before 5:30 PM if lucky, usually closer to 8:00 PM. Worried it might be stolen when left outside.

UptownSport · Jul 30, 2020

USPS has had multiple slow, misrouted or simply not tracked packages both incoming and outgoing.

McMaster is the exception. They delivered (UPS) ground on Saturday, and are always next day- Where Chi-town to Mpls is always two days otherwise.

I imagine half their warehouse is a 'retraining' :mad5:

center for shippers who dally

My advice: DON'T watch your tracking, nothing you can do about it, and it'll just cause an increase in your BP meds

Mud · Jul 30, 2020

Delivery Rescheduled from UPS is usually the driver giving up looking for the address for the day or just being delayed and marking it rescheduled. I posted here a while back about a package getting that treatment for over 10 days in a row.

OT - I have an incoming package sitting in the USPS NY international facility since June 6th. USPS says it's because they don't have enough people working to process the customs shipments. anyone else dealing with this? It was shipped from Ukraine on May 12th.

fish123 · Jul 30, 2020

I ordered something from a company in Riga, Latvia March-11-2020, received it July-15-2020!
DHL was involved somewhere in all that mystery, ultimately delivered here by USPS.
