ClosedAcct Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Does anyone understand the purpose of UPS Mail Innovations? If someone ships an item via that method, UPS ships it to the postal service and the postal service delivers the package. That doesn't even seem logical, smart, efficient, etc.... I am so frustrated with this process....the place I ordered from shipped my first order USPS, my second order UPS, and my third order UPS Mail Innovations. The first 2 orders arrived in 3-5 days and the 3rd order shows as shipped on the 13th via UPS, accepted by USPS on the 15th and it's the 21st and I have yet to see my package. Ordinarily I wouldn't care but my birthday is Thursday and I ordered a very sexy dress to wear to dinner and we leave in the morning and my package didn't come today. STUPID UPS MAIL INNOVATIONS. ERG!!! Happy Birthday to me. Oh well. Watch it come tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripn Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 UPS does NOT want to deliver to houses...therefore they entered into this agreement with USPS to deliver the "last mile" to your house or PO box. It seems like a cost cutting measure by UPS...while also allowing any blame for a late delivery to fall on the USPS. Smart move by UPS.WOW! the opinions on this service are almost ALL bad!Good luck!

ClosedAcct Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 The package was shipped to my office, I even put the business name on the address so as to indicate it is a business. I never ship packages to my apartment because they seem to be "misplaced" by my office on a regular basis so I always ship anything that won't fit in a tiny mail box to my office. Oh well, at this point as long as it shows up I'll be happy, I'm just aggravated by this whole process AND by the fact that each shipment from the same merchant comes a different method. I like consistency and standardization. Oh well. Merry Christmas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tn20 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm sorry your dress hasn't come in. That is so disapointing. I hope you find something else nice to wear! I hate UPS Mail Innovations. I think its walmart.com that I'm thinking of that uses it that I've had nothing but problems with. I live in So. Oregon and UPS has (slowly!) sent my stuff to WA State, then handed it over to USPS where it took 7-8 days to make it, I dunno, 350 miles or so. It seems like UPS and then USPS don't make these Innovations packages any sort of priority. They just let the package sit around until they have room to send it to the next place, which then does the same thing. Thankfully, I've been using UPS 2-Day via Amazon Prime and they bring them all straight to my house. All the free to home or cheap ($.97-$2.97 shipping) on WM.com seems to come with the Innovations so I am now avoiding them at all cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppysfireball Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I don't use Walmart anymore because of this. It takes 7 - 14 days with UPS Innovations. I preordered the 10 dollar movies from there and that was it this year. One shipped one week and the second shipped 7 days later and I checked the tracking and they both arrived on the same day. It took 14 days for the first one and the last week of it they were coming from Missouri to Illinois. I will stick with Amazon Prime and have it the next day or two at the latest.

yakinhix Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 FedX is doing the same type of thing but I dont know what it is called. I ordered something on the December the 6th. It was not a gift or anything so I really didnt care when it got there but it was shipped via FedX then sent to USPS and was supposed to be delivered on Saturday but we got 6 1/2 inches of snow so my mail didnt run at all. It finally arrived yesterday Dec 21 (15 days later) On a seperate note, whatever happened to rain, sleet, snow or hail the mail will be delivered? As I said above, my mail was not delivered at all Saturday because of snow. Mailman took the day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachealb Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 When I saw the title the first thing that popped into my head was "sucks"- lost packages, forever for delivery, hate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1angelnhvn Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I agree with the post above where the package starts out being shipped fedex then transfers over to USPS. My packages sat in Fedex for four days while it was being SWITCHED OVER to USPS! Quite a delay! Won't order that way again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Does Amazon do that? I'm stressing over a package right now. I ordered over a week ago, they said it shipped on the 17th, USPS said they got confirmation of my package on the 19th. It was supposed to arrive on Monday, no sign of it. Today I found out by the tracking number that it was misrouted. It is in a town about 20 minutes from me now. It better be here tomorrow, in one piece or someone is getting an earful!! There are 2 DSi's in that box!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Oh, forgot to say that my package originated in New Castle, DE, which is about an hour away from me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyjp Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I am glad that I am not the only one stressing about a Amazon package right now. Mine was sent on the 16th and projected to arrive today. I hope it is here tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClosedAcct Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Mine wasn't from Amazon, it was Victoria's Secret. It was delivered yesterday to my office but I was already out of town so no new dress for birthday dinner...oh well. Hope everyone's stuff arrives, mine was just for me so I can wait!

unmadecastle Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 You know whats really frustrating is when UPS delivers it to the USPS and you only live 2 blocks from your post office but it takes another 2 days to get it to your house because my mailman will not leave packages. He leaves the nice little notice of package to be delivered in my mailbox. By the time I get home my post office is closed because god forbid if they stayed open till after 4:00pm. So then I have to have some one go to the post office the next to get the package because they will not try to deliver it again. I hate UPS mail innovations!!!
