This is the final version of a review I originally wrote on 8 September. I bought a second-hand printed item from Europe in August, and UPS have behaved disgracefully over their failure to deliver it. First they gave me no information about the delivery; then when I rang up I received inaccurate information from someone who did not understand what I was asking; then I received inaccurate information via the UPS website (which told me the package would be delivered on a certain date – it was not – then said it would be delivered the next day – it was not). I requested more information by e-mail, twice, and finally received a call from someone who told me that the package had been held pending the payment of custom duties and a fee. This was the first I had heard of this. There should not have been any duties on this item, as the import of printed matter is not taxable. UPS tried to extort this money from me, and also from the sender. At this point the sender requested the return of the item. After this was achieved, UPS continued to attempt to extort the "customs" duties and fee, first from me and then from the sender, despite the duty not being due, and the package having been returned (so not imported). They harassed the bookseller who had sent the item, and intimidated him, until he paid the fee (which amounted to nearly 300 Euros). I complained about this process throughout, stating my case and asking UPS to waive the charges and stop harassing the bookseller. But they replied with bland formulae (like those they use to answer these Trustpilot reviews) and refused to help, insisting that the duty and fee were due. And they insisted that if any refund were to be claimed it had to be done by the sender (the bookseller), who wanted nothing more to do with UPS after this experience. I asked them to sort it out. But they said there was nothing they could do. I have now re-imbursed the sender the cost of the "duty" and fee because it was not fair that he should have paid it, having been bullied into doing so, and to letting the matter drop, by UPS. This is quite outrageous. UPS has made 300 Euros out of an innocent victim, whose only mistake was to use UPS in the first place. They have their money and are satisfied. But I am not, and I would like to make public how appallingly UPS have behaved. DO NOT USE UPS! And do not believe their bland statements that "This is not the experience that we want you to have". They do not care for their customers and the only thing that will move them is if they start to lose income through a loss of reputation. So, I would say, DO NOT USE UPS, and pass this message on, and encourage everyone you know to repeat the message: DO NOT USE UPS.
