I just received my third and “final” notice on the front of my apartment building from UPS unsuccessfully trying to deliver a package for me. These three from UPS follow a mid-December attempt to deliver the same package via FedEx unsuccessfully with three attempts.

This is a problem.

I am not around consistently during the day. They require signature confirmation. My apartment building will not accept the package for me and it is not secure to leave it here. They don’t have an accessible location for me to go pick up my package manually.

I’m going to give them a call now to see what they can do. Shouldn’t there be a better system surrounding this process?

Update: The closest FedEx center (from my past attempt) would have required a 3 hour round trip bus mess or an hour long trip with a vehicle. Now, with UPS, it’s the same inconvenient mess.

They will hold the package for 5 business days in a location unreachable by me. Now what?

Update 2: I take back anything bad I might have said about UPS. I called again and not only was the speech translation fast and accurate, but they allowed me to set a new delivery location. Sweet!
