UPS pissed me off. I ordered some garden decoration on Amazon for Mother's Day last week, it was supposed to arrive on Thursday. UPS refused to leave the package without a signature, so they left one of those slips on the mailbox. So I signed the back of the slip and left a post-it note on the front of it asking them to leave the package. So what do they do on Friday? Refuse to deliver it again and just slapped a second slip on top of the first one.
Tracking says they're not retrying again until Monday, so now this is no longer a viable Mother's Day gift. I ended up going to Home Depot on Sunday morning and buying something similar, and that worked out fine. I figured UPS would flub the third attempt and I'd be able to tell Amazon to take it back.
So what does UPS do? They freaking leave it by the door on Monday. They managed to not deliver it the two days that would have been fine, and delivered it on the only day that was too late.
The best return option was for a UPS pickup (only other option was lugging this thing to a UPS store) so who the hell knows how this will work out. I'm sure they'll try to swing by at 10 AM when no one is home.
