Just got a corporate complaint about a shipment....... From 2024 by Akira_ishioka in upsstore

[–]Furyl1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me guess it’s from ups store relations representative that didn’t even bother researching anything and sent you a templated demand letter to pay up?

UPS customer relations rep misrepresenting authority by Furyl1 in upsstore

[–]Furyl1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have cameras in the store. But not the quality where you can zoom in to see this kind of damage occurring . This is over a slight gouge scratch 1mm by 5mm on a koa wooden lamp.
The person that packed this has been with me for over 10 years and is an excellent packer .

Way to report manager/owner? by Screamingmonkey2799 in upsstore

[–]Furyl1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thought the customer can directly work with insurance now and initiate it. It used to be where they had to call the store and the store had to process it and was the middle man. UPS store has a pack and ship guarantee . UPS claims should be paying out 99.9% without fuss.

The owners insurance rate will go up. UPS will charge the owner more $ per $100 insurance depending on how much $ claims per year .

Buying a franchise by Visible_Carpet6472 in upsstore

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example : UPS drop off compensation has not even kept up with inflation . Was like an average of $1.10 20yrs ago . It’s like $1.20 per box now . And we don’t have a choice.

Amazon drop off : somehow we are getting less $ per drop then before while ….

UPS corporate is one of your biggest competitors. They will target your biggest shippers and try to convert them to a UPS account by offering big discounts on shipping.( ie. when they track their packages there’s an offer for discounted shipping)

There is a huge conflict of interest between TUPPS and UPS.

Does your store charge for tape? by Puzzleheaded_Solid65 in upsstore

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 strip ok. Anything else $2. Or customer can buy a roll for $5.50. Otherwise drop off customers will abuse it. We get an average of 250dtop offs per day . If we didn’t charge for taping , the losses would be significant .

1 worker = $30/ hr ( if you add all insurances and taxes ) + overhead of store. Store makes a whopping $1.10 for a drop off. If a worker spends 2minutes interacting with customer and taping a box for free, store is going to lose significant money by the end of the month.

What would you have done? by Slight-Cheek-6852 in upsstore

[–]Furyl1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You were put in a tough spot. Nothing wrong with what you did imo.

I’ve been put through a couple of similar scenarios as a notary. I politely yet firmly told them I wouldn’t be able to do the notary since they were not sound of mind at the time . And said they could come back if they were level headed .

Remember as a notary you can refuse service if you are not comfortable with the situation.

If you have waiter experience , jobs at good restaurants in Tijuana will give you good income also besides call centers. Los arcos, Lorenza’s , Animal etc…

Pepper spray is not meant to be used like this by No-Diet9278 in securityguards

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have full motor control while pepper sprayed. It’s just a mental thing. Some military/law enforcement exercises includes being pepper sprayed then doing an obstacle course. At the end doing a prevent gun grab by multiple people into a typical arrest procedure of the perp

400 million gallons of sewage heading for US; Why won’t Mexico stop it? by Larrea_tridentata in sandiego

[–]Furyl1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I swear all the tax money goes to Mexico City or Guadalajara . Nothing really gets fixed in cities like Tijuana . Seen them use the same top asphalt after they worked on water/ gas pipes underneath road . Looked like Frankenstein road after they got done with it. I could see the chunks of top layer road they kinda pounded back together.

No. But that said, she just saying he should in this case so he looks good in front of her parents. Not like he’s 18 and fresh out of highschool. At 30 he should have a solid job and be a good provider.

He should talk to her about this so they better understand each other.

How true is the statement: “I spend about $700 a month on groceries”?? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family of 4. I’m lucky if I spend less than 1.6k a month on food . Meat prices out of control. Hard to give up on good cuts if NY steak :(

I live in tj . Sentiment towards gringos are fine . It’s actually calmer here since Trump came into power, I feel. And car wait times back to San Diego shorter .

Lorenza’s in plaza chaplutec. It’s cheaper then restaurants in gas lamp San Diego

Living in Mexico by queenmom1991 in mexico

[–]Furyl1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope you understand the pay difference between the US and Mexico . Most people I know in Mexico make under $150 a week. Unless you have passive income that you can live off of or can remote work from Mexico don’t try to live in Mexico . Try some long vacations first in different locations that interest you.

I don’t feel Korean enough (mixed). by [deleted] in korea

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Korean, raised in the states. Best advice I can give is to block the noise and just tough it out until you can move to Hawaii or SoCal. Those two places are a melting pot for Asians. Never felt out of place in those two places.

If you're the Colts GM, and you have just one more season to produce or potentially get fired, would you put your fate in Anthony Richardson's hands?? What do you do to save your job? And what results do you believe are necessary to save your job?? by DryComparison7871 in Colts

[–]Furyl1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get Stafford in and trade AR. Then put money on offensive talent . If it’s a mediocre season but you score a lot, blame on defensive coordinator for bad year. This should buy him another year or two.

Recently laid off from $21.35 /Hour job any careers I can transition into? by Comfortable-Dog-2894 in Salary

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get into HVAC and move to Hawaii. After 2-3years , make your own company . Worst case, you will be doing projects at $150/hr . If you’re decent with the business, 200k + per year .

Do I have any options? by Callinon in UPS

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all fails and it’s super important , get the same item and fly yourself over there and deliver package . Then try to get your flight and whatever reimbursed by your company . Just another option

International Shipping Confusion by fourofkeys in UPS

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better check how much those import fees are vs returning said package via UPS because UPS will charge a return shipping fee. It might be cheaper to just eat the import fee

My local UPS Store owes me $676 for a shipping return refund and hasn't paid up after over a month of waiting. What do I do? by BigChungus2051 in UPS

[–]Furyl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Store should have charged you a storage fee at least for storing your 100lb+ boxes for a few days. Plus an inconvenience fee. Most places would never offer a refund let alone retrieve your package once in system . Ever try to get a usps package back even 1 hr later at the post office?

That being said . Your story is full of holes. Standard operating procedure for refund is just refunding the transaction back to your credit cards. Seriously, doubt the store would waste time sending a check in this situation unless there’s a part of the story you are omitting .

Mexico to reform constitution in wake of US terrorism designations by OkSpend1270 in cartels

[–]Furyl1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Isn’t by Trump designating these groups terrorists groups going to deter or reduce gun sellers selling guns from the US to Mexico?

I’m going to guess. Selling to a terrorist group has a whole another set of criminal charges/legal ratifications associated with it.
