Yes I did. The issue for me is where is our country headed when a small mistake (the address, city and State were all exactly right) cost me double. We used to be a country where respect was important and mistakes were allowed.

That world is gone now. I want it back. I want Christian values. Like I said it cost them money and time to ship it back to me.

(the address, city and State were all exactly right)

the address, city and State are there to be read by the scanner AFTER the package has been sent to the ZIP CODE. If your zip was incorrect, your item never even made it to the correct state.

Let me tell you this one thing, and then no more: if YOUR making a mistake causes you to feel some of the things you have posted on this thread, and also causes you to blow this whole MISTAKE YOU MADE so much out of proportion, then I hope to God you never have something REALLY horrible happen to you. You won't make it.

You made a mistake; get over it.

I live in a small city 28,000 but we have at least 6 zip codes. I don't know if you realize it but UPS uses zip codes to deliver your precious package to its rightful recipent. If it went to the wrong place due to your mistake is that the fault of UPS also. I hate it when I screw up and it costs me money too but I don,t see any fault with UPS here. By the way I find fault with them over lots of other issues. They manage to mess up lots of stuff for my wifes company.

..."That world is gone now. I want it back. I want Christian values. Like I said it cost them money and time to ship it back to me"....

Undoubtedly, when YOUR incorrectly addressed package arrived at THEIR distribution center, their sorting equipment OR personnel determined that YOUR incorrectly noted ZIP CODE did not match with the USA ZIP CODES for that state or city.

YOU obviously prefer that USP stop their sorting/routing system, have a clerk making $____ and hour, take the package to some table area where they can look up the REAL ZIP CODE for that address OR perhaps they could look up the REAL ADDRESS for that ZIP CODE!!!

In all likelihood, when YOUR package was dumped from their sorting/routing sytem, it was stuck back on the truck's bin for the truck that PICKS UP AND DELIVERS TO Mail Boxes, Etc.

Would you have preferred 'they' just assume a fact not in evidence and have your package shipped from one location to another to another while your daughter awaits delivery and y'all start the 'checking for lost packages' routine?

Come on, now, and answer true....would you have been so thrilled with Customer Service that you would have come on Free Republic and written a vanity if the UPS clerk, when trying to figure out what YOU screwed up, would have called you up for the proper addressing, with UPS, of course, paying for both the clerk's time and the phone call?

I have no idea if what I suggested happened is in fact what happened; don't particularly care...I do object to a very mis-leading Title AND to someone who'd rather whine and blame someone else rather than think about what 'may' have happened and take full responsibility themselves.....you act as though UPS exists to MAKE YOU HAPPY.
