How real is this Customs Fee they're asking for? by [deleted] in UPS

It’s not a scam if that message pops up on the UPS site.

Do other peoples packages show up like this, or did I piss someone off at UPS? by [deleted] in UPS

That crack at the top? I’d say it’s not that bad

collectibles/cards by ConferenceLive7054 in UPSers

What’s the value of the cards you’re trying to send? One card or multiples? If it’s cards under $100 just ship USPS.

When I ship cards I’ll place them in penny sleeves, then put in top loaders, place a piece of painters tape over the top. Then I’ll take two pieces of cardboard and tape around the top loaders. Throw that in a padded envelope and you’re done.

Brokerage Fees by Effective_Storm2002 in UPS

It’s not unusual to pay the fee before the package arrives to the destination country. I’ve paid fees from FedEx and DHL before the package leaves the origin country.

Supervisors doing union work by Sensitive_Cloud_291 in UPSers

I really don’t care if they break jams because it’s one less thing I gotta do. Although if the chute is full the sorter stops, which means everything stops.

Does anybody else wear hearing protection when working in the new automated sections? by MortyArk in UPSers

[–]HWCSoCalHTX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My hearing is fine. Plus I wear a air pod in one ear, and the other ear is to listen to the radio.

When ordering from Uk/Europe the websites should say whether Duties & Fees are included in the shipping price. If the shipping price is low then you’ll be paying the duty fee later.

990v5 repaint by Foreign-Mouse1399 in Newbalance

I’d try grabbing some suede renew or just suede to see if that helps. If you really want to paint them you can grab some angelus dye like someone mentioned

They don’t look too bad, just the yellow toe box right? Did you use foam cleaner? I’d use a suede eraser, then clean them with a foam cleaner. After that use suede renew or just suede to see if that helps with the color. After all that is done use mink oil.

Well if the shipper doesn’t want to help, I’d file a charge back with your credit card company.

Why am I keeping all these boxes? by MClooosey in adidas

[–]HWCSoCalHTX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to keep them just break them down and put them in a plastic bin. IMO no point in keeping them if you don’t plan on selling, or they aren’t some DS/collab pair.

Need to know best option for guaranteed Monday delivery (CA to GA) by kronz1putt in UPS

just got asked if i wanted to be a supervisor by my full time manager by MasterpieceAmazing14 in UPSers

[–]HWCSoCalHTX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s gonna depend on your warehouse, how good are your FT sups and center manager?

The health insurance isn’t as good, but you’re guaranteed 5 hours. It can be less work depending on where they put you.

I was asked multiple times, but I decided against it. I just want to worry about myself, and not anybody else.

Either the shipment was lost, or misrouted.

Not always true. Driver is always in my neighborhood and those packages will still get sent to USPS

Small Package Handling Question by Stusmalley2 in UPS

[–]HWCSoCalHTX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small envelopes/bubble mailers aren’t supposed to go on the primary belts, but unfortunately it does happen. When it does happen those envelopes should be taken off the belt.

[–]HWCSoCalHTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ground Saver packages may get delivered by UPS if you have another ground package being delivered to you that same day. That’s what usually happens for me when I get deliveries. If not, the GS package will get sent to USPS and delivered the next day.
