Fuck you, UPS Guy!!!

It's gotten to the point where I dread ordering anything from Amazon cause I know it's gotta come UPS.  If we're not lucky enough to get the package successfully delivered the 1st attempt, shenanigans always ensue.  The fucking guy routinely lies about making delivery attempts.  SO MANY times I've been home waiting for a package, and even though no one rang the doorbell or left a notice on the front door of the building the UPS tracking info would show a delivery was "attempted" at X time. &^%* !!!  This time around, I ordered a stepper from Amazon, and the estimated delivery date was this past Friday.  I had to go to UMDNJ for a glucose tolerance test and knew most likely that I'd miss the delivery ASSUMING anyone showed up, so I was really hoping this dude wouldn't bother and BS that he made the attempt.  But alas, there was a notice on the front door of the building, so I knew that chances were most likely I'd wait for the package today and get nothing but a bogus "2nd delivery attempted" on the UPS website.  And I was right.  So I called the domestic UPS line and they had the local warehouse in Secaucus call me back (I've spoken with this manager several times already since we moved into this building and we've had to deal with this jerk of a delivery guy) and she seemed to think I should be ok with the fact that a 3rd delivery.  I had to tell her 3 times that as far as I'm concerned, the 2nd delivery was not attempted, that I most likely can't be home tomorrow to wait for my package, and that if the delivery guy had just done his job today, I wouldn't be bothering her with my phone call.  That we don't have a vehicle and it won't be easy to procure a ride to pick up the package tomorrow night.  I bitched enough so that after putting me on hold, she told me he would do his best to come over tonight between 5pm and 6:30pm.  She let me know that she apologizes, that she's had other complaints about this guy before--so I asked her why no one has done anything about this?  She lamely told me that this is his route, as if, you know, they are just stuck with him.  I informed her that I am pretty sure there are lots of new people applying to UPS all the time.  She wasn't thrilled by my comment.  All I know is, I'd better get this fucking stepper tonight, or all hell is going to break loose tomorrow.

I feel your pain and really hope you get the stepper tonight but the later it gets & I don't see a follow-up post, I fear you've been had.

Seeing the comments above... I agree that having a designated "delivery site" might help - but if your mom might give you grief, is there someone else who could help?

PS - BTW, that's some AWESOME iconage you've got goin' there.
