I hate UPS

So my driver side door sill came in from subaruparts.com via UPS today.
I was in the driveway installing a power antenna when UPS put the box on my porch.
UPS guy didn't say anything to us.

When we went inside to take a break that is when I saw the box.

Thanks UPS guy!

I think they dropped some heavy box on it..

Good news is sill is intact.

If there is any damage you best let them know I am sure the sill wasn't cheap. ]

Part#94016PA010MD "Cover Side Sill Upr" Price $38.33
+ $10 shipping, So $50.

Haven't installed it yet, just took it out the box and check it for damage.

O just the upper piece. I thought you ordered a whole door silla.

Yeah sorry, just the upper piece. I was expecting to find it snapped in 2 pieces, seeing its just a long thin piece of plastic.

The last box that came here via UPS was smashed so bad that the wife has a vid of me squeezing it in and out like the 'Squeeze-box' song!
Thank God it contained a thing that was made of CLOTH so it survived!
I had to 'refund' a 35$ purchase price for an item that the USPS CRUSHED while delivering it a week later. They all SUCK! Sell and buy within driving distance.....

UPS...Universal Package Smashers
What I hate most is their "brokerage" fees when importing packages from the USA. They often exceed the value of the package. That's why I have everything delivered to The UPS Store in Ogdensburg, NY. and pick them up there.

The old joke goes that if a manufacturer wants to advertise a product as "unbreakable", they do test shipments with UPS, labeling the contents as extremely fragile.

I have had so many issues with UPS that I can't stand having to use them if certain companies use them for shipping, I will often go buy from somewhere else if I have other options.

I have caught them in a lie saying customer wasn't home for a package that was shipped with Signature required (I hate those). I was home they never came. I unfortunately missed all of their delivery attempts and ended up having to pay for them to ship it to my work took another 3 days for that change.

I have had them refuse to deliver a package to my house, after calling them to find out where it was because the tracking showed for 2 days it was at the nearest depot but no effort to deliver (as far as I could tell) was made and no contact with me was attempted. When I called them they said their driver refused to deliver the package because my dog bit them. I was in shock, I have the nicest dog in the world unless you are a ground hog or chihuahua. There is no way my dog has ever shown aggression to any person, besides Fed Ex guy loves the dog and is always commenting and bringing treats. I ended up having to drive to the depot to pick up the package about an hour and a half away.

UPS sucks.
