I work in a 19 story building. UPS does NOT go to the respective co's mailrooms. All shipments are left on the ground floor in a loading area.
I cannot tell you how many times, over the last 5 years, that I've shipped things, to have them not scanned in at all.
No pickup, no origin scan at all. Some of the things I'm sending are $10-$50k+
First of all, it's stupid to leave it in a common area, but I'm not the director of shipping.
It simply drives me nuts when I send say a box that's $8k, and there's no trace of it 3 days later.
Before anyone says, well, that's your fault it's not insured.
Think about it--if it's never been scanned, what good is insurance? Or, I could be wrong as I believe the driver has to leave signed paperwork.
But how can they be this sloppy for years and years?
I had to send a replacement where the contents were about $8k--yep, pulled it out of my ***. And, I personally drove the box to the UPS store to get a receipt.
If I had to bet my life? The missing box turns up scanned in IL, or Ontario CA, its destination, with its origin scan (it's happened before and I'm in Phila). The chances are that it does get delivered, but I'll never know until next week.
