UPS, made of evil

[fan_eunice]

I should be packing boxes today. I am not packing boxes because UPS is horrible. HORRIBLE. It went down like this, when the boxes were ordered online a specific note was made that I am not in the directory for my building (due to another screw up that I don't have time to rant about), so I would need to be contacted when the boxes were to be delivered so I could go downstairs and get them. This note never made it to UPS, I don't know if that was them or the box people. UPS tries to deliver the boxes, sees I am not in the directory and leaves. They do not leave a sticky note on the door or any other indication they were there. I wait for my boxes. They do it again, still not leaving any note on the door. I, thank goodness, check my tracking info online and discover that they have done this, and there is a note in the file saying a postcard was left for me to contact them. There wasn't. I call them and explain the directory situation, to which they are unhelpful and finally conclude that they simply can't deliver to me in my building the way it stands. My boxes are at the central UPS location. I have to come get them. Fine. I say, look, I have no car...I have to arrange a ride, so I will be by in a few days to get them, please hold the shipment. They tell me this is fine and that they will do so. This conversation takes place on Tuesday. This is important. Because when I get there last night to pick up the boxes, they are gone. They have been shipped back. They are already returned, have arrived back at the box place. Which means they had to have been shipped back on the day I spoke to UPS or the morning after. Either before they told me they were still there and would be held, or after they told me they would hold them. I hate them. I hate them a lot.

Since I am being Ianto for the purposes of this move, is it acceptable for me to raid the central UPS warehouse with a stun gun? I can think of several people I spoke to last night that deserve a stun gun to the forehead. Pray I get boxes in time, UPS people, pray.
