If the delay was weather related, no. If it was just normal operational f up, the store can submit a service refund request. Takes 5-10 business days and UPS directly mails you a check. Answer from thirdsin on reddit.com

UPS Express Saver late delivery - refund?

Only if there was a guarantee on it. Savers, I’m pretty sure, do not. That’s why they’re savers. 🥴

r/UPS on Reddit: Next day AM delivery- delayed. What should I do for a refund?
February 23, 2023 -

I was at a conference about 5 hrs from home and realized I left my wallet at home. My husband went to the UPS store (franchise) and paid for overnight 10am delivery. I see on day 2 at the conference(delivery day!) was delayed in the same town I was in.

I get up on day 3 and realize that it’s not on a truck by 9- I’m leaving at 1. It’s not gonna make it. I call customer service and just ask them to return to sender. They confirm it’s updated and I’m good.

While I’m on my way home I get a notification that it was delivered at the conference location. I had to have them FedEx it back to me overnight.

Is there any way I can get a refund? I’ve called the store and they refuse to answer me. I’ve stopped by multiple times and “a manager that isn’t here will call you.”

July 18, 2023 - Yes, it is on you to refund your customer, and then you can get your money back from UPS if you paid for a 2 day service and it did not arrive in 2 days by filing a claim with UPS, but only if the service you picked had a on time delivery guarantee.
