    My local fed ex and UPS hubs are both about 45minutes away. There and back again is roughly half a tank of gas in my blazer. I should not have to blow $25 in gas to go pick up a package i need just bc theyre too lazy to do their job. Maybe i should be too lazy one day and not feed any of the old people in the convalescence home i work in...

    With that little rant i will say though that if i did absolutely need a package and they had already skipped going down my driveway twice i would just drive to the hub to pick it up and give them hell there. Im a very nice person 99% of the time but the #1 thing i cant stand is laziness. That driver was being lazy, plain and simple. I would do my best to convey my emotions towards laziness to the supervisor at the hub lol. The unfortunate thing is that your not really buying anything from UPS so its not even like you can really complain that much. All they do is deliver, or in some cases like this fail to deliver, the merchandise.

    See what you get for having a secluded driveway? What are you thinking?

    LOL
    Actually if I was a UPS driver and I saw a house/driveway like the one from the movie The Devil's Rejects then no, I would not deliver a package to that door. Not in a million years lol.

    I ran into the ups driver at the town gas station and he said he didn't even bring it with him today because he didn't know where the house was yesterday...this was after I called them. They called me back and I explained I have numerous signs point or on the driveway and I didn't understand how he didn't see them. So she took note of them and said it would be out again tomorrow and that he's a senior driver he shouldn't have problem finding it. I said well, if he's that experienced than he should have seen it the first day.....the signs are pretty obvious. She got snotty after that and so I said thanks and hungup. She be here tomorrow I hope.

    tell whoever you bought if from how difficult they're being. they'll likely not ditch UPS completely but it may prompt them to offer other shipping options.
