I do a LOT of returns at various UPS Stores due to Amazon and the nature of my work. I have been to…read moreSEVERAL UPS Stores, in MI and in several other states for work. My experience at this particular location is the worst customer service I have ever had at a UPS Store. In short, visit another location if possible. Longer explanation below.
I had two boxes of light fixtures to return, they were delivered to me from Amazon as one order, and when I hit return on the website, I had one QR code provided to me from Amazon. When I arrived and they scanned my phone, the girl working at UPS refused to return the boxes, said I needed a bigger box for both. I could purchase it there, or return home and come back. I had one code, and it needed to be in one box. I asked why, as that has never been a issue before. BACK STORY: I have returned hundreds of items in my lifetime. Sometimes with up to 10 on 1 QR code. She was (rudely) insistent, that I needed 1 QR code per 1 item. Again, NEVER have I been asked for 1 QR code per 1 item. I stepped aside trying to look on my phone about how to get another code. While I waited I watched her help another customer. A woman with her arms full of smaller items as an amazon return. She told her the same, and made the woman purchase a cardboard box from UPS for $5. They put all the items in the box before processing the return. I stepped up again, asked if it was a new policy? She looked at me, and rolled her eyes, said it was always the policy, and they have always needed one code per item. I said "ma'am, I do hundreds of amazon returns at tons of UPS stores across the US, with multiple items, can she help me understand why is this the first time I am hearing this?" And she blew me off, and said that wasn't true, I was mistaken. A co-worker turned around and got involved and said "she is right, we tell everyone this.." I was confused, frustrated, and they had given me a LOT of attitude that I was wrong and they didn't want to deal with me. so I left. Drove to another location 5 min away. At the second store they were polite and explained: they can put things in plastic bags if they are smaller, but the items need to fit in medium boxes they send back to Amazon.. my 2 light boxes were too big, and would need to be processed individually. The other store helped me with my phone and getting 2 QR codes, and politely helped me understand the policy for the future. It was all handled quickly in a few min. This location was rude, dismissive, and gave no explanation. They also charged the woman ahead of me $5 for a box. After it was all done, it made me think they are just scamming people to buy extra boxes at this location.
