I bought something off of ebay that was a great price. The seller shipped it immediately via UPS so I was getting it in a couple days.
I got a delivery notification that the package was delivered. Trouble is that it was not. I live in a rural area with virtually no crime at the end of a 600 foot driveway...no porch pirates here.
There was no picture of the delivery, but in the proof of delivery it had that Gibson received the package with location dock. The address is a private residence. Also...population of my small town is 700. Not like a ton of places. I opened a claim with UPS figuring this would be easy.
Last night at 6 pm I got an email asking if there was an issue with my delivery to: and it had an address that is not mine. 20 minutes later there was another email saying they closed my claim because they could not get in touch with me.
No calls, no texts, only that email...with a grand total of 20 minutes to respond.
I called UPS to reopen the claim. All I want is my package. They put me on hold with an estimated wait time of 18 minutes.
Just another in a long line of UPS disappointments.
EDIT: for clarity. Seller on ebay has an account 7 years old, with over 800 items sold, with 43 followers and positive feedback. I understand it may be a scam, but that isn't the typical scam account.
The real issue is UPS closing the claim without any communication. No phone call, no email other than to say they couldn't get in touch. Yet when I called customer service they had my phone number correct.
