UPS Guaranteed Service Refund is a scam
Next day AM delivery- delayed. What should I do for a refund?
How to get a refund for delayed package?
Videos
I recently paid to ship a package next day air-- only to have it arrive a day late (with weird tracking along the way).
When I called to request a guaranteed service refund, the customer service person seemed to think it was clearly refundable-- but then the automated system came back saying that the package is not eligible for a refund.
Help...?
I paid for two day shipping and package was delivered in 4 days (3 days not counting Sunday). https://www.ups.com/no/en/support/shipping-support/legal-terms-conditions/ups-service-guarantee
The policy is fairly clear but there is no way to actually get a refund as a retail customer. I tried the IVR following these instructions (https://www.refundretriever.com/blog/how-do-i-request-a-ups-guaranteed-service-refund-gsr). After providing my tracking number, the IVR said I needed to speak with a live agent. Each live agent asked for a bunch of information, confirmed I was entitled to a refund and then transferred me to someone else (e.g., claims department, GSR - guaranteed service refund service, supervisor). Each transfer was met with a long hold or back to the IVR or disconnection. I interacted with 8 agents and IVRs for two hours in this endless loop over two days. Note: There is an online form to process claims but that is only for lost or damaged packages, not late deliveries.
Even if I reached the right person, I may still be denied the refund, but the amount of misinformation and misdirection is the most frustrating part. In theory a GSR department exists, but no one answers the phone and you can't call them directly.
Does anyone know the best way to reach GSR?
