lmao, they only show the small sort. i worked at this facility doing bulk. it's a fuckin slaughterhouse and your packages are getting thrown around like shit.

[@kingdoc5892]

they missed the part when the driver rings my bells, waits 2.3 seconds then leaves and says my package was undeliverable.

[@Daswassuphomie]

At least they rang ur bell half the time they just leave it there without knocking , I’d much rather have that happen.

[@bobbiikk7891]

Not defending the drivers actions, but when you’re loaded up with almost 300 stops on 12 hour shifts with an angry supervisor on a power trip, mistakes are bound to happen.

You forgot the part where they play football with the package and throw ninja stars at it.

[@xen84]

I work the morning loading shift at a UPS center in a downtown area of a relatively major city, and our center doesn't look a lot like this one. Ours is mostly older and more broken. And to a lot of people in these comments, keep in mind, while it's easy to just give us all flak and see UPS as a faceless corporate entity, most of us are just regular people doing our jobs as best we can, day in and day out. We're no more infallible than you are.

[@peterbarlow7781]

They don’t use tilt trays anymore apparently. They now have scanners that can scan every part of the package, even underneath.

[@rupert8719]

HA they wish it was this clean at ups if you actually took a tour of ups on a regular day and see how many packages get damaged you would never ship through them again

[@ECDT1089-EtheLamborghini]

UPS sucks because they deliver different types of packages all in one vehicle. Which usually means you'll have to wait a long time for your package to be delivered to your house.

[@lucasLucas-uh8qo]

I know how that feels waiting for UPS all day thinking they'd come early nope they come at night near end of day jeesh.

[@Automedon2]

"WOW now i see how they Treat my Stuff, pretty neat but they also need to treat packages more delicate. They've broke stuff I've sent." Never broken anything I've sent, and I've sent and recieved hundreds. Poor packing is your problem

[@sherrieadams1253]

I worked on Preload and sorted the belt for which side the truck was on to load it, while I was loading 1 to 3 trucks at the same time. I retired with 30 years way before this system was in place so all of my coworkers had to hustle and carry thousands of pounds of freight (manually)in the trucks to be loaded as the conveyor is still moving at warp 8 speed. Ya'll have it made now!

I work for UPS in Brazil, and for me is a great company! All these people, they are insatisfact with the company, can find a better place for them! Really, I don't understand, if UPS is a bad company for you work for, all that you have to do is just CHANGE! Anybody is forced to work for UPS... That´s my point of view.

[@emmettredding1]

This is long way from grabbing the parcel by opposing corners, rotating it until the label is located, reading in reverse (zip, state, city), marking parcel with a crayon, loading it, repeat...at a minimum acceptable rate (MAR) of 600 parcels per hour...Montgomery, AL hub...1988-1991

you guys are so cool i love seeing stuff like this in short forum........

[@JabranShakil]

[@Jenna26C4U]

oh and my company is too cheap to throw us a Christmas party!!! I love the driving aspect and having all my favorite customers but working for UPS, they are just hell raisers. and I don't really want to leave and start at the bottom somewhere else again. I've put in 7 years!!

[@THEFIL323]

Fil here with the reno hub in nv. We have found a way to take better care of our customers and their packages.

[@weixyz137]

damn, ingenious design for this complicated system.

[@wcazes]

So much nicer than my facility. Two conveyors for the unload, where we have guys who scan and place on top or bottom. Which the top comes down a certain distance to the bottom so it can reach the one conveyor in the mobile area where I work now loading from 3 to 4 trucks. I was unloading and scanning until they decided to train me to preload. And the minimum they want you to scan is 600 / 650 packages per hr.

[@Levy122]

Interesting.

[@gbpegram1]

I always hate ordering something because of the wait I wish that once you placed a order it would arrive in 20-30 mins

[@LeynaSept]

Jacob Pegram51 You sure are impatient. There are millions of packages you should be lucky they don't even bring it in slower.

[@Mattamiasbusiness]

Jacob Pegram51 quite honestly the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. Just wait for the delivery. It’s going to come be patient.

[@thebrownguy79]

damn... @ my center,there's only one main conveyor that runs the length of the building. With a shade under 40 delivery vehicles, it's an practically a rural outpost!

I worked at the Ontario, CA. I wanted to work more hours, but they just kept give 3-4 hour shifts. I didn't care about the hard work. Every night at work, I didn't see why we needed a lunch. I would have been happier to work though it, since the hours were so less. And it was sometimes boring. I would be in one of those small trunks that drove the loads out to the planes and other times, I'd just wait their in the cold waiting for something to do.

if they spent less time making documentaries we'd all get our packages quicker.

[@redrider37j]

That Hub is but the one in maumee ohio where I work at is completely different. All the unloader's packages go to a sorter... A human sorter. They read the zip code and put it on a conveyer belt that corresponds to that packages destination.

You should have gotten an e-mail when your package arrives anyways. Would you expect them to actually wait for you to answer the door? They'd have to do that to every house they stopped by too. I'd prefer DHL though.
